Sometimes I think plurals dehumanize themselves too much, and then I see even a separately embodied twin wondering if they're actually a person. The singlet mind is a beautiful thing.

Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover …
"I would like to talk to Yskandr. Either stop pretending to be Mahit Dzmare, or allow him to speak."
Quite exactly like a knife, Mahit thought.
"With all respect, ezuazuacat, I can't do either of those things," she said. "The first is impossible, as I am not pretending to be myself. The second is more complicated than you are suggesting.

This is a work of exceptionally poor liberal political theory, doomed to be so because of the author's lack of historical education and historical materialist perspective as well as his commitment to a short "pop" style structure. The author makes fundamental errors on defining communism and fascism by avoiding the question of political economy, and as a result his explanation on what "tyranny" is and how to fight it is hollow. His anti-communist views lead to glaring historical omissions that result in outright misinformation. For instance, he complains about Austrians complying in advance with the Nazis in 1938, but this completely ignores the defeat of anti-fascist forces in the 1934 Austrian Civil War. In general, his suggestions to fight "tyranny" are platitudes with little substance. There are surely better works on the subject out there by actual anti-fascists.

The lice retreated and bunched together in a swarm. Then the lice were shot point blank by a microscope. Disinfectant hammered and hammered with its flail. The enemies fell, pulling up their little legs. And up above, flapping its prescription-flag, the People's Health Commissariat took a victory lap.
