Many scifi writers are/were of the socialistic, utopianistic, kumbayaic persuasion, as those themes ran through their works.

“Many scifi writers are/were of the socialistic, utopianistic, kumbayaic persuasion, as those themes ran through their works.”

That’s true. But many also had or have the opposite themes running through-out their works. And some of those are still highly regarded despite it—which is remarkable considering the times, in my opinion. I think that perhaps the best thing that ever happened to sci-fi or speculative fiction was that general academia ignored much of it that was good.
