If I brought my novels to a publisher, I'd have to remove just about everything I wanted to say in them in favor of "nonpolitical" pretenses with a lot of extra pandering, and even then it'd be just for a chance at additional reach with a big cut of each sold book going to the very same corpos that had just sandblasted anything of value I wanted to say in my work.

There are some vaguely lefty publishers that might bite but this will massively restrict your distribution.

Well, I self published already, for better or for worse. If even those vaguely lefty publishers wanted to me to tweak an entire novel trilogy, that'd probably involve massive rewrites too. That makes me wonder what might be left.

Would the vaguely lefty publishers want me to drop the revolutionary war entirely, or remove the pivotal (and namesake) mecha from it?
