anti-communist white supremacist PMC were doing the baby brained “fren” fascist memes 100 years ago
I understood this post perfectly and I don’t know if that means BMF needs to step it up or I need to touch grass
how does he keep making the best posts?!?!?!
you know, when you put it that way :tito-laugh:
God it sucks still seeing it in English class curriculum
Aside from the propagandistic bullshit, it’s just a badly written novel. Truly awful writing. It’s like if someone compiled a bunch of angry boomer facebook posts and published it.
Its very standard fare YA novel material. Much better than anything Ayn Rand or Robert Heinlein put out. Much easier to digest than Asimov or Le Guine.
Beyond that, when you strip out the anti-communist bullshit, its a perfectly functional morality tale. You’ve got The Problem of Evil, the pitfalls of nepotism and pride and greed, the hazards of propaganda, the ill-treatment of working people particularly in retirement, the perils of a militarized police force…
Its very easy to live in America and read Animal Farm and finish the book thinking “Oh shit, they just like us, fr”. There are so many fucking parallels between a midwestern farm’s failed revolutionary struggle and any forty year span inside the lower 48. The only part that Leftists can really hate on are the Cliff’s Notes interpretation of the novel as “Don’t be Russia” and “Don’t ever try to change things”. But put that book in the hands of a proper Marxist and it is as deadly an indictment of Capital as anything in Mao’s Little Red Book.
Would like some pointers on building the skills to use it this way. I would at least a more in depth explanation of this. I can’t focus on the book long enough to actually finish it.
