eventually I found his "russia in the shadows", which gave me actual secondhand embarrassment whenever we mentioned his personal political fantasies. but I don't know, I prefer to live under the illusion that his disagreements with marxism were a facade to protect his career
I read most of his fiction works on high school a long time ago and I assumed he was a marxist because all of them were basically historical materialism projected into fictional futures
