right-wing ideas like citizenship

For fear of turning this into a debate that belongs onto another forum, I don't think citizenship is a 'right-wing' idea. And I don't think voting rights are a right-wing idea either. Heinlein certainly expressed some very peculiar views on those subjects in this novel though.

He also had some very strange interpretations of the concept of militarty chain-of-command, not just in this novel, but in several. I'm not sure if he either never completely understood the meaning properly, or just took artistic license to purposely twist the concept to fit the specific theme of whatever story he was working on at the time.
