this sets up fraziers argument on the idea that the politics represented in both works are more complicated and cant be 'simply' summarized using familiar terms, which I do really agree with. Butler's characters express these ideas directly. In parable of the sower, Lauren with her very outspoken nature on serious real life issues, through Lauren’s own philosophy of Earthseed, Butler creates a new perspective of understanding survival, leadership, and responsibility that goes above the more conventional political discourse both during the period it was published and currently. Lauren’s voice in the novel acts as a critique of already existing political systems while offering an alternative route that majorly reflects an intense comprehension of power, government, and aligence based in adaptability and inclusivity. while Mutu's visual work conveys them more implicitly, really resisting the idea of being put in a box.
