Has anyone noticed that Pournelle & Andersen's dreaded "welfare state" dystopia somehow transformed into Iain M. Bank's (& others) "post-scarcity economy" utopia? It seems the difference between "socialist welfare state dystopia" and "luxury gay space communism" is the political leanings of the author.
