- Title
"Starry-Eyed Internationalists" versus the Social Darwinists: Heinlein's Transnational Governments.
- Authors
MCGIVERON, RAFEEQ O.
- Abstract
The article examines fiction author Robert A. Heinlein's transnational governments comparing internationalists and the social darwinists. Heinlein is almost universally considered a Social Darwinist since his works would depict Darwinistic pressures. His Darwinistic message of struggle is not a celebration of mindless expansionism but consistently a call to arms to those who would remain free.
