The Ideologies of Star Trek vs Firefly

[thewayne]

The article more specifically says Fascist, but I haven't read the whole thing yet so I have no comment on the fascist label. But I liked the way it started and want to read the whole thing, so I thought I'd share it.

Once upon a time I read an article that compared the ideologies/philosophies of Star Trek vs Star Wars, I think it was written by Orson Scott Card. It was quite interesting, I wish I could find it again.

I find Orson Scott Card a little hit and miss with his fiction.
Granted he did write one of my favourite books (Enders Game) But there are times where Ive read his stuff and gone 'nyeh...that was allright'

But his serious 'academic' stuff is often very good.
I should make an attempt to track more stuff down.
