Animal Farm (Kindle eBook) by George Orwell for
$0.99- About this book: George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel - a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others

Not only that, but you can get these and much more using your local library and Overdrive.
Ahh-haaa 😉!!😏
But my experience of living in 4 completely different countries shows that this book is true for any political or social setting.
The only difference is that in some countries people with such views are going to labor caps and in other are being told "go earn more money".
General Info here..
If you want to get rid of a audible credit I have a recommendation. 'What everyBody is saying' by joe navaro. It's a book about body language. Great read, and changed how I communicate forever.
Also. you can put your account on hold once a year for 3 months. You can use your credits awhile account is on hold. Don't let audible bully you in to paying for credits each month you aren't using with they user agreement scheme.

All animal are equal. But some are, how would I put it? More privileged....
We all are subjects to the same rules and laws. Just to a different extent.
Some of us are allowed and can do what others cannot.
But, yes, we all are equal. And I have no doubt that you, my reader, has the same chance in court of law as governor of a state you live in.
Re: "It is a citation from the book that defines pretty much any society. Anarchist, democratic or ruled by a single iron fist."
It's the Iron Law of Oligarchy at work.
Basically, every form of governance eventually becomes an oligarchy, and every form of economic organization becomes an oligopoly due to a very simple mechanic: any group of humans delegate responsibility to a subset group of humans who eventually abuse the power that was supposed to only be applied to that responsibility.
Constitutional republic, pure democracy, monarchy, anarchy--they all devolve into oligarchy.
Communism, socialism, capitalism--they all devolve into oligopoly.
You could classify the Iron Law of Oligarchy as a particular iterative game in game theory that all human societies play over time, over and over again.

When mass media gets monopolized and manipulated, reading the book doesn't help because people were already conditioned to see the reality with colored lens. These highly-educated useful-idiots' mind were so prejudiced that they were reading George Orwell's work to fit their narratives.

The USSR had been doing that to their own people, but didn't get too far doing it to other countries because they didn't get rich enough to bribe a lot of elites generously. Communist China is the new USSR, except that they have way more USD and tech at their disposal. We'll need to starve them from USD first by all means necessary if we are to keep our freedoms.
