Many dystopian authors of the past often thought that extreme totalitarianism was the be all end of all of human suffering but aside from Huxley were there any other dystopian authors who argued that extreme liberty would dissolve society in the past? Seems like Huxley was an outlier. I'm aware he was implicit in a lot of social engineering that would turn the world upside down in the ensuing decades, but were there any truly noble souls who saw a bleak future warning what extreme freedom would do to a society?
>>25619483BNW was not about "extreme liberty", dumbass. It was about compulsive degeneracy. Very different things.
hmm
>>25619485yes, but you actually need liberty to enable that "compulsive degeneracy". it doesn't happen in totalitarian shitholes, unless the population is extremely prone to neurosis like your oh-so-jewish ancestors.>>25619491“Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in his IQ
>>25619512Based person who, doesn’t know how commas work
>>25619521that's ok I didn't ask for your approval.
>>25619483I don't think too much freedom is the problem but rather as Wells put it 103 years ago "The economic system, clumsily and convulsively reconstructed to meet the new conditions of mechanical production and distribution, became more and more a cruel and impudent exploitation of the multitudinous congestion of the common man by the predatory acquisitive few. That all too common common man was hustled through misery and subjection from his cradle to his grave; he was cajoled and lied to, he was bought, sold and dominated by an impudent minority, bolder and no doubt more energetic, but in all other respects no more intelligent than himself" Also Huxley's dystopian fiction was a counterpoint to authors like Wells Utopian fiction.
>>25619629But wasn't Wells very much into the same social engineering claptrap Huxley was into? Show me one (1) man or woman who didn't warn us of impending while being complicit in it. Do noble souls even exist anymore?
>>25619660Yes Wells ans Huxley were both fabians.
>>25619684I know thats not the question I'm asking. I'm asking if anyone accused both of being complicit while offering genuine solutions.
