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.

    Pretty much all of Vonnegut’s stuff is very pro-worker and very anti-capitalist. His novel Jailbird covers a fictionalised version of the Pullman Strike, Player Piano deals with automation and how it can negatively impact the worker, Slaughterhouse-five is (among many, many other things) anti-war. God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater concerns the class system and all its flaws. Hell, he dedicated Hocus Pocus to Debs. Plus, he was a fucking fantastic author to boot.

      +1 to anything by Vonnegut. One of my favorite authors by far. I loved Mr Rosewater but I also recommend Cat’s Cradle as it touches on American imperialism in South America with San Lorenzo and takes a firm anti-nuclear arms proliferation stance. Breakfast of Champions is also really great, and talks about environmental destruction, capitalism, systemic racism and more. It is also very well written, albeit very, very strange, with the descriptions of characters.
