Just finished them instead of reading them right now, but "The Left Hand of Darkness" and "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin. I liked the world building of the first far better, but it didn't hit at the politics I wanted to read about as much as I wanted, the second being the opposite.

I don't know why, but I just need content wrapped in sci-fi for me to find it enjoyable, and "The Dispossessed" in particular was what I was looking for, an exploration of anarchism grounded in examples and thought experiment.

Both of them are fantastic books, and definitely worth a read for anybody interested in science fiction, sexuality & gender, and anarchism.

Maybe that's why everything went to shit, because they stopped (or once showed?) the endless hitler content.

That tends to happen in autocratic states.

Horrifying, I love it.

It could definitely use a cover for the gears though. It'd be kinda gross to get the lube on your hands using this thing.

I'm sure explaining the shell game the rich play is really comforting and helpful for the starving masses. /s

Like I said to /u/entwine413 I am talking more generally, not just about literal files.

I'm not talking about just the files. I'm talking more generally.

To own something is to control it.

You clearly don't have control, therefore you don't own it, microsoft does. You can fix that by seizing the means of computation and install linux.

Somebody take a shit on him

Party of small government everybody. If they didn't have double standards and lies, they wouldn't have any standards or things to talk about.
