Something tells me the Party's support or funding of an author's work could have a lot to do with the author's ideology (or the perception thereof).

Not only must the work be ideologically correct, the work must also be understandable by ruling ideologues.

That is a serious choke point.

The ideologue brain is incompatible with big weird scifi ideas.

We see that in the west too.
