I read Wizard's First Rule ... The whole thing seems to exist just to hate on communism. There were some odd lines throughout the book that made me raise an eyebrow, but I realized I wasn't imagining it and it wasn't a coincidence once they described a master torturer villain's outfit with colors and a symbol very much conjuring up the whole hammer and sickle thing.
Let the record show that I almost knew EXACTLY what she was talking about from the keywords "fantasy book" and "hating on communism":
<~Rhiannon> Alright I was getting weird vibes from some things before
<~Rhiannon> But I'm 600 pages into this fantasy book and I am now 100% positive this writer is just hating on communism
<Raijinili> Sword of Truth is definitely hating on communism.
<~Rhiannon> THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR PICKING THIS BOOK UP AGAIN TO GIVE IT A TRY AFTER I DITCHED IT WHEN I WAS WAAAAY YOUNGER BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE THE COVER
<Raijinili> WAIT IS IT ACTUALLY SWORD OF TRUTH FAITH OF THE FALLEN
<~Rhiannon> (it was actually bought by someone else for me)
<~Rhiannon> No
<~Rhiannon> It's Wizard's First Rule
<Raijinili> oh
<Raijinili> well i got the sword of truth part right
<Raijinili> yeah the author is an objectivist
Because there's like one author that that describes.
