Calling out Florin - There Will Be Dragons
Calling out Florin
#7
Has anyone read the book where ringo glorifies Nazis?
I don't know if it has has any relation to a technique I remember Jonathan Swift using. You know the man who wrote Gulliver's Travels.
Mr. Swift wrote a work advocating Eating young children.
If you skimed the work say for a review or a very quick book report it seems to be a very serious proposal to change England's law to allow women to have children and sell them for food.
Children the new veal might be a rough paraphase of the ideas he seemed to support in the work.
Mr. Swift almost seems to be openly advocating cannibalism.
Actually it was an attack on the treatment of children both by thier parents and other groups in his society such as sweat shops that he thought were in a very real sense "eating" the children as slave labor.
He was calling a segment of Englands population, some powerful and many nearly powerless, cannibals because extremely young children were being worked to death both by thier parents who had them for that express purpose and the powerful class who were supporting it to increase thier own profit and power.

I don't like Ringo's writing style so I usually avoid his books, but has anyone actually read this book?
Did any of the readers of the book get the idea that Ringo trying to use false sense of support for something as horrible as the Nazis to point out a flaw in society?
Is he pulling a Jonathan Swift cannibal proposal or does he seem to be displaying actual sympathy for the Nazis?
