Literary Question: Does anyone see any similarities between todays two political parties.........?

...And H.G. Wells 'Time Machine'?

Here I'm referring to the peace-loving terrestrial race and their sub-terranean, meat eating counterparts...

As mentioned, this question alludes to an actual book you might be expected to have read to post an intelligent response to the question.

But don't worry if you are a republican or conservative who hasn't read that work of literature or anything else other than Ayn Rand and doesn't cognate the caricature of the natures of our two parties. You can still watch Mel Gibson's Ransom, narrated by Gary Sinise for a quick synopsis of what to expect.)

What do you think the author was trying to say about the class system or capitalist politics of that era or our own if you think it fits..
