Subject: Socialist Utopia


Has anybody got recomendations of books
describing socialist utopias? Two I have read
'Woman on the edge of time' by Marge Piercy
and 'The Dispossessed' by Ursula Le Gwin 
are both inspiring and politically interesting.
They explore the economic, political and sexual relationships 
of communist society. They are deeply revolutionary
in their sentiment. I wish these novels were more
widely read - they are both 9inspirational
and profound. Are there others like them?
Do others think such work is relevant to the
struggle? Or is it irrelevant (perhaps petit bourgoies?)
fantasising? Should we restrict our reading to the
collected works of Marx and Lenin?
