The Dispossessed is Ursula K. Le Guin’s great anarchist novel. A story about walls, worlds, and what it means to live without masters. In this episode of Red Horizons, we explore Le Guin’s vision of an anarchist society on Anarres, the contradictions of freedom and scarcity, and the shadow cast by Urras, a world of wealth and hierarchy just across the sky.
Through Shevek’s journey, we ask: what does it mean to build a world where solidarity replaces domination? And how do we fight to protect it when empire always presses at the gates?
This is the opening chapter of our Le Guin arc, where we dive into her most revolutionary works. Not as escapism, but as blueprints for struggle.
