A very good satire of the modern society! Reminds me of the French Revolution

“All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” 

I think there’s a lot to say about this book that has already been said but not enough people are talking about it today. Obviously this is a classic, but it’s short and easy to read. It speaks a lot to governments and their abuse of power and authority over their citizens. It also speaks to the importance of education and the ability to think for oneself. Boxer represents all of us lower-middle class and working class people, working away our lives for ultimately nothing.
