The rise of racist and populist movements in Europe has led to the emergence of dystopian literature, a genre that explores the darker sides of utopian societies and warns against the pursuit of perfection. This literature, rooted in Thomas More's Utopia, has become more prominent in response to modern weaponry and technology, especially after devastating wars. While post-World War II Europe aimed to eliminate racist and populist parties, these movements are resurfacing, posing a threat to progress. Dystopian literature helps grapple with these challenges, particularly for the European Union and its democratic values. The novel Finsterwalde by Max Annas examines the impact of racist political leaders and their ideologies, which can lead to societal issues and the expulsion of foreigners solely based on their non-German origins. In essence, dystopian literature reflects concerns about the potential collapse of European democratic ideals due to the resurgence of racist and populist movements, as illustrated in Finsterwalde.
