Seuss identified himself as a [[liberal]] [[Democrat]], and his political views often show up in his work. [[The Lorax]] heavily promotes [[environmentalism]], with a righteous "Lorax" facing an evil "Once-ler" (obviously a stand-in for humans). The Lorax bothers the Once-ler by harrassing his workshop, and the narration doesn't face any concerns about the Once-ler's environment-harming business, like the fact that if it was shut down, everyone working would lose their jobs.

Seuss identified himself as a [[liberal]] [[Democrat]], and his political views often show up in his work. [[The Lorax]], often considered a metaphorical piece on [[environmentalism]], features a lorax, who warns of impending doom, should The Once-ler, a stand-in for corporate greed, continue in it's destruction of the rare "truffula trees", to create thneeds.
