I am looking for fiction books where the message is explicitly socialist or anti capitalist, sorta like Animal Farm, but against Capitalism.

Not really required, but it would be helpful if those books have easily accessible PDF copies of it.

Thanks in advance.

    Ursula K LeGuin was anticapitalist and wrote books to match, often beautiful ones that recognize the complexity and variation of humanity. I’ll always recommend this short story, which you can read for free right now if you’d like. This particular story is the opposite of explicit, though - it’s a complex mix of metaphor and human connection. She does have other much more explicit works, though, like The Dispossessed.

    The Jungle was explicitly and viscerally anticapitalist.

    There are also many historical fiction books set during socialist revolutions.

      Just a note that the Dispossessed is pro-anarchist and against “authoritarian communism”.

        This is true but it’s not polemical, it’s more along the lines of positive imagining towards vague ancom views.
