Science Fiction and Speculative Whiteness

D.Z. Shaw

Jordan S. Carroll examines the alt right’s fascination with the genre of science fiction. While antifascists regularly criticize the far right’s fixation on an imagined past, in the era of the second Trump administration, this study of the ways that the alt right draws on science fiction to consider the future takes on renewed relevance.

The institutional far right is strong, while the far left is weak and disorganized. To develop the capacity to meaningfully intervene in the current crisis, far leftists need to engage with oppressed communities and work together with liberals in a united front.

Who’s Afraid of Luigi Mangione? A Response to Alexander Reid Ross

2 comments

Luigi Mangione’s recent alleged killing of an insurance CEO touched a wedge issue that cuts across class and across the political spectrum—the massive corruption of the health insurance industry—and created an opening for the left.
