BNW, since capitalism won the Cold War

I dislike political fiction. It's like a self contained echo chamber. That being said:

The dispossessed > 1984 > BNW >>>>> Atlas Shrugged

Basically this. Everyone is in denial because we're in a BNW type society but everyone likes to flaunt MUH SPOOKY BIG BROTHER and other stuff as a scapegoat, coping mechanism sort of.

Seriously, there are no real cut off Christian monasteries any more. Come the apocalypse, the mussies are the only ones likely to be able to conserve anything. God is great!

You are so wrong. There have been countless times fundamentalist mudslimes have destroyed ancient works.

The mudslimes are the simpletons described by Miller.

Cultural Marxism, as you like to call it, is very capitalist. It opens up new avenues for the market and atomizes people.

You can't just blank out the core aim: Once humanity (the "99%") is socially united (which btw doesn't mean dissolving cultural differences, just kind of adding a superior identity) it's much more difficult for the rulers to stir up wars and other shit that makes workers fight workers. It's basically the foundation for the global communist revolution which on a mere country level isn't really possible in the 21st century.

You can hate the childish philosophy, you can hate the rigid almost mechanical dialogue, you can hate the halfcooked plot, but even then the progression of societal decay described within was nice.
