Wolfe on Tolkien

[lazarus]

4. which ideas, though?

Heinlein proposed lots of different political systems in his various books, from pure communism to libertarianism to rational anarchy to benevolent dictatorship.

He worked on the CARE campaigns in California, but also was greatly influenced by his wife to become a Goldwater Republican, just like Hillary Clinton used to be.

As for Starship Troopers, RAH himself said that that book, just like Stranger in a Strange Land, contained no answers, only questions for the reader to answer himself.
