I buy all Baen's webscription packages, because I very much support what they are trying to do, but I certainly don't read those books which I find unpleasant.
Which of Eric Flint's books push a socialist ideology? I'd like to support SF that isn't mired in libertarian fantasies or militarism. I've been eyeing his Belisarius books because the Byzantine Empire is part of the social studies curriculum that I teach (I also have ties to India, so that part of the setting is interesting as well).
