> I have been told that Vonnegut wrote "Harrison Bergeron" as a kind of parody of right-wing thought about left-winger ideas of equality Though I’ve heard that sentiment before, it seems unlikely, and when I looked very hard for a source, I never found anything remotely satisfactory. Barring something, anything from Vonnegut indicating otherwise, it seems reasonable to accept that he meant the story to be taken at face value.
