H.G. Wells was a utopian ecumenical state socialist
It's true.
There a movie from the 70s where Wells played by Malcom McDowell time travels to the modern world, expecting to see the worldwide socialist utopia in 1970s New York. Boy oh boy was he disappointed. It's true to his real life activity with leftist political groups and his overwhelmingly "white college chick" philosophy.
Nerds are susceptible to socialism because of the lack of "street smarts", insulated intellectual thinking and general lack of knowledge of practical human nature (hello me at age 21)
Edit-- I checked and it says he was involved with the Fabian socialists. So it's true. He was proto-woke
The movie was Time After Time and was Nicholas Meyers’ first movie… his second movie would be Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.
Wells’ love interest in the movie was Mary Steenburgen! (Talk about typecasting!)
Otherwise - yeah, Wells was very socialist and happily supported “imperialism and colonialism” because at the time that was how you civilized the savages and brought them to the light of humanity.
What you’re seeing here is communist revisionism - like denying Hitler was socialist because it destroys their entire ideology to see what their utopian ideals yield… every, single, time.

They like it because they think a new system will give them higher value. As if the problem is how the system values them, and not how obnoxious they are.
