Jeez, just my day to have “controversially right-wing SF authors I liked to read” come up twice. Once again, I delivered a post-mortem (literally, it was after he died) to Jerry’s discomfiting positions.
I mention it because most of that Slashdot post is about how you can read these people without picking up their agenda. I liked Jerry’s stories, but remain left-wing; I’ve read Troopers repeatedly but did not become militarist; I love The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress but do not imagine libertarianism would work.
I also enjoyed Lord of the Rings but have no wish to return to the medieval era.
