Share and Enjoy!

Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.
And his love of Ronald Reagan, his love of libertarian capitalism, his love of noted racist Ayn Rand's work, and constant sexism towards women in almost every novel.
Like every Sci-Fi writer has their issues, but Heinlein is far from any form of progressive.
No but it abandons plot for gratoius sex scenes with a Jesus figure where all women find him hot, so it's not exactly the best thing for "Hey abandon the patriarchy."
Libertarianism is not Fascism. Fascism doesn’t mean “right wing politics I dislike”. It doesn’t mean patriarchy or sexism or even racism (which Heinlein was provably not). He was a radical individualist, and his ideology was absolutely at odds with ethnonationalism and authoritarianism, the two major hallmarks of fascism. He was progressive about a great many things including sexuality, religion, and individual freedoms. You can criticize him for being a capitalist, but don’t conflate it with fascism.
