...and yeah, read Max Brooks, the survival guide and world war z, and before the self parody 2nd one I already see the problem with the first (staircases can be hard to destroy depending on where). I heart Max Brooks and if I could vote for him, I would, because screw this left-right bs, we need an anti-zombie plan! If all people have a combo of secure homes well stocked with food and ammo, we'll never have to worry about zombies or pretty much anything.
Like: extreme left; rely on the nanny state! Leaving people screwed when the state collapse extreme right; we can all be islands! Ignoring that everyone you ignore isn't going to ignore you, especially when they are hungry for your flesh.
Dunno which is worse especially since they actually feed into each other. Extreme Left, like Communist China, denies individual responsibilities, people in charge refuse to recognize that they do have more power and act according to protect those under their power. Extreme Right, denies that everyone starts with a different island and that some nannying, MOTHERING, is required to bring up individuals who can individual.
...and Brooks is politically relevant because zombie is just a metaphor for a combination of plague and hunger and a majority of desperate deprived people. Christ, people eating each other when the food ran out? Happened, no need for virus.
