the hard left is fearful of science fiction and fantasy fiction books from conservatives because of its ability to break through the layers of indoctrination that the left has heaped on society. Most authors put there values in to what they write and love to expose ideas that are not will thought out or are strait out lies portrayed as truths. there has always been a battle of ideas between the CS Lewis’s and the Madlin le’ Engle’s of the world and that of the hard left.

The is why the Left HATES the works of Ayn Rand. I do think she has something against organized religion because she likely saw in her childhood how some religious people helped push a Socialist agenda--people forget some eastern European Jews were major advocates for this thing called Communism.

I've read both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged and both are works that massively criticize the political elites and the businesses and religious people that support this very class of people.

I like to believe they are fearful of the vision of the future because people are compelled to deal with the potential consequences for their horrible decisions.

For example for 30 years environmentalists fought against desalination plants in California. They fought to "protect" made-up endangered species in favor over entire farming communities that sustained a significant amount of the California economy.

Now California after years of leftist policy under democrat tyranny is dealing with the consequences of incompetent management and idiot decisions with one of the most massive, destructive water shortages in recent history. The worst part being is none of this ever needed to happen.

Given the other ongoing depravities of the left, who knows what horrific future could be envisioned by the Sci-Fi community? Well, the left doesn't want to take that kind of chance with "creativity"...
