    I read 1984 of my own will and I just thought it was okay and not very profound but it did appeal to me a bit at the time because of my life circumstances. I was far from being a communist at that time yet I didn’t even know it was anti-communist because the themes matched my very capitalist country lol.

    The one I actively hate is Animal Farm. It was assigned reading and I had to do an essay about it. It’s the most mind-nubming anti-Stalin shit I’ve ever read, not to mention the quality of the writing itself. You could predict the plot points way before you get to that point because it’s just that predictable. I can’t describe how annoyed I was the whole time when the teacher was introducing the premise of the book. They were like “any extreme ideology is bad whether it’s capitalism or communism”, basically average lib talking points. I had to write a very watered down essay because I wasn’t sure if I’d get a good grade by writing my actual opinion.

      George, you’re not Aseop, and you’ll never be Aseop. You don’t have his skills of making animal allegories and your attempts are an insult to his writings.
