Dune is actually rightwing, a conservative morality play and distant future. Frank Herbert was what today would be called a chud and was very open about it. That being said, Dune is still amazing space opera and something unique.
I do find it funny when leftists who don’t know the background of the author and his own interpretation twist themselves into knots trying to make Dune into some kind of leftist agitprop.
What? Herbert for sure didn’t have good politics, but he was an anarchist, not a chud. What are you talking about specifically?
And dune is very much anti-authority, anti-eugenics, anti-futurist etc etc. it’s not “pro” much of anything. But most of the things it is “against” are chud things.
