This day in history: English writer H.G. Wells was born on this day in 1866. He was a pioneering science-fiction author, novelist, futurist, and political theorist, best known for his science-fiction works, and in particular The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Time Machine, and The Invisible Man.
American writer Stephen King was born on this day in 1947. King is best known for his horror fiction in works such as Carrie, Pet Sematary, It and The Shining.
Both authors are the most popular writers over the past century.
Both writers are also Leftists. Wells, a Fabian Socialist, despised human liberty, sneering, "Consider the clerks and girls who hurry to their work of a morning across Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, or Hungerford Bridge in London; go and see them, study their faces. They are free, with a freedom Socialism would destroy." An apologist for Stalinism, he visited the Soviet Union in 1934 and denied the Holodomor. In his advocacy of eugenics, he displayed contempt for human life, writing, "No doubt Utopia will kill all deformed and monstrous and evilly diseased births." In a 1932 speech at Oxford University, Wells exhorted his audience, “I am asking for a Liberal Fascisti, for enlightened Nazis.”
King has famously suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome. His obsessive hatred for Trump has even entered his new book Holly, which has reduced him from novelist to propagandist. Decades ago it was common knowledge that he used ghost writers, an idea that should not be dismissed considering that he is also a drug addict and alcoholic.
