"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

I am astounded by this book. How can something written in the 1940s seem relevant right now? Also, the way the book was written did not feel like a classic to me, as classics always had this reputation of being hard to get into. This book may be short but it tells so much without being too much.

I feel sad for the animals, especially Boxer and Clover, who represent the working class and have been exploited until they were no longer of use. However, I hate Moses because he has the same name as me (I am not a religious freak!).

Anyways, a key takeaway from this book is to never stop thinking critically and to never stop questioning things.

This is my first classic, and now I know why there is a separate genre for them. "

"absolutely brilliant 💋 don’t read this if you’re a man, especially if you suffer from the ever present disease of toxic masculinity. this manifesto hates men and the work force. it does specify its speaking of heterosexual males. it also stresses the class state of the individuals; those being of middle to upper class. it breaks down the flaws to current day manhood and fatherhood. you need to read this with the ability to have some actual thought. if you’re just going to read this with no nuance don’t bother. it’s really amazing in what it’s trying to do and is worth the read to me. as long as you can recognize what is and isn’t relevant it’s outstanding "
