Its a decent little parable, but what really gets me is that the libs who wave it around as a polemic against socialism think they've got it all figured out, when really these motherfuckers are still blaming Snowball for the mill failing.
Yeah the book totally gets socialism ass-backwards and wrong, reading it as a allegory for communism feels like something dreamed up by a deranged person. But if you read it as late stage capitalism, it clicks a bit.

I always heard the book described as "anti-authoritarian" which should naturally point to late stage capitalism.
