This is undoubtedly true Yet no one shall hear it today I imagine Lovecraft only agreed to Roosevolt s policies provisionally in order to evade worse chaos not out of pure principle of political philosophy A temporary neo aristocratic socialism of Platonic type was Lovecraft s idealistic unrealistic wish nothing like what modern people understand when they hear the word socialism Lovecraft scientifically can be described as a reactionary individualist anarchist in one sense NEVER a social socialist democrat as modern people understand democracy but definitely not a barbarian Fascist Nazi either his empathy based concern with the welfare of the lower stations of human society is abundant in his letters As with everything else simplism only ruins our presentation of lovecraft as he is was Added Dispute Issue to All Relevant Lovecraft Articles The modern consensus on Lovecraftian metaphysics is not absolute and S T Joshi is not an absolute monarch of cognitive prowess folks It is time to PROFESSIONALLY and DISPASSIONATELY address the issue of Lovecraft and metaphysics religion spirituality without any pre fabricated assumptions Thank you
