If people rebelling against a tyrannical government in a science fiction novel makes it morally equivalent to the Turner Diaries, that puts that label on a very large amount of fiction. By that widely stretched standard, \\\'\\\'The Hunger Games\\\'\\\' is a Turner Diaries knock-off. Even if we restrict it to settings with a \\\"leftist\\\" evil government and broadly \\\"rightist\\\" protagonists, it remains an extremely broad category. As was discussed earlier in this thread, is \\\'\\\'Atlas Shrugged\\\'\\\' the Objectivist Turner Diaries? For another, is \\\'\\\'Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress\\\'\\\' by Robert Heinlein the Libertarian Turner Diaries? Is \\\'\\\'Literature/LeftBehind\\\'\\\' the Christian Turner Diaries? Most people would not want to use those comparisons, since while people can disagree with some (or a lot) of the politics and message in those novels, they still do not advocate Nazism or straight-faced genocide of every single non-white person in the world like Turner does.
