Annotation | Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels re-done with a distinctively anarchist message. All the countries of the former are visited under different names and with more explicitly political and economic characteristics. They are: Grossartiga--Lilliputians. Pretense is the rule. The poor are kept in their place. Plintablandina--Giants. No property. No money. Worship nature. Craftsmanship. Free sexuality among young. Poetry very important. The wisest are chosen as administrators. Academica (Conflict within education), Lexonomia (Language satire), Freedonia (Free Market), and Several Other Remote Regions, including Carnivalia, Imperia. Land of the Retrievers (Dogs), which is also called Ecologia --No exploitation. |
