Because you can’t.

How so?

The part where children individualistically destroy one another for their own private gain rather than working together for the common good (i.e., communism).

What have Biden or other liberal heroes done since then to rectify this mistake? All they seem to know how to do is send tens of billions of dollars to the Nazis in the police, in Ukraine, and in “Israel,” despite the fact that the public is overwhelmingly against this.

Indeed, Animal Farm is 100% an example of capitalist propaganda.

Corporations, i.e., capitalism.

Things have indeed changed. Thanks to Biden’s crime bill, even more Black people are in prison than when Malcolm X’s biography was published.

You might be interested in what happened during the real-life Lord of the Flies, which actually turned into a communist paradise rather than the capitalist hellscape depicted in Golding’s famous novel.

For my entire life, I had only heard that communism is wrong, communism goes against human nature, communism instantaneously murdered a trillion people. Only when I started actually reading Marxist texts (like The Communist Manifesto) and Marxist history (like Losurdo’s Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend) did I begin to realize that all the people in my life who had told me that communism was bad had never actually bothered to learn anything about it. (Teachers, in particular, risk losing their jobs by doing anything other than toeing the CIA line on communism.) As it turned out, these people thought that communism is bad because communism means “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”—i.e., no more business owners, landlords, or running dogs of the bourgeoisie.

The overall tendency of profit to decline strikes again! This is how things work under capitalism. Small business is fundamentally less efficient than big business, which means that consolidation tends to be the rule. The vast majority of small businesses across the USA have been on government life support for decades. (There is absolutely no way they would exist without the imperialist free ride gained from the USA’s dollar hegemony or from the USA’s settler-colonialism, for instance.) I know that in this particular case, the book store owner passed away, but it’s telling that whoever inherited the book store chose to close it down, probably because it wasn’t profitable, since Amazon and a few other huge retailers are pretty much the only book stores that are making any money these days.

The USA in general has terrible politicians because they are controlled by business rather than workers.

Another W for liberalism: shut down one of the last public spaces available in the USA where you don’t have to pay in order to sit down or use the bathroom.

Gotta recommend A Grain of Wheat by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o if you liked Things Fall Apart.

You might be interested in the real-life Lord of the Flies. Things turned out pretty differently from what William Golding believed:

I find anti-communist books to be unbearable, fascist garbage.

The Soviet film version of Crime and Punishment is amazing but yeah Dostoevsky generally sucks.

American authors tend to be pushed on the public quite hard if they are anti-communist, and they get pushed even harder if the are anti-communists who come from communist countries, as Nabokov did. He’s a pretty amazing stylist, the last gasp of 19th century symbolism and decadence, but his politics are abominable (he was pro-Vietnam War), and this is why his most famous work is about a child molester. Better Russian authors like Chernyshevsky and Sholokhov are unknown to American audiences because, unlike Nabokov, they are actually on the political left.

Things are the same today as when The Grapes of Wrath was written because Steinbeck was a communist and therefore was able to accurately describe capitalism, which is still ruling the USA today.

Just want to note that China hasn’t fought a war in four decades because it is run by workers, who do not benefit from war. They’ve spent all that time building massive futuristic cities and have also connected their entire country with bullet trains, among many other triumphs. During this period, the USA has been investing its stolen wealth in little other than bombs and genocide.
