Animal Farm by George Orwell (Aeons Classics) (460 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

In George Orwell's timeless classic, "Animal Farm," a seemingly idyllic farm becomes the stage for a powerful and thought-provoking allegory. Set in a rural landscape, this remarkable novel examines the nature of power, corruption, and the human condition. When Old Major, a wise and respected boar, shares his vision of a utopian society, the animals of Manor Farm are captivated. Inspired by his words, they rise up against their human oppressors, overthrowing their human masters and establishing their own self-governed farm. Led by the pigs, notably the intelligent and manipulative Napoleon and the eloquent Snowball, the animals embrace the principles of "Animalism" and set out to create a fair and equal society. Initially, the farm thrives under the animals' collective efforts, with the Seven Commandments of Animalism serving as their guiding principles. However, as time passes, the pigs gradually assume more power and privilege, distorting the original vision of equality. The farm's transformation unfolds before the reader's eyes, as Orwell masterfully illustrates how power corrupts even the noblest of intentions. As the pigs consolidate their authority, the other animals witness a chilling erosion of their rights and freedoms. The novel vividly portrays the struggles, hardships, and disillusionment faced by the hardworking animals as they grapple with the stark reality that their revolution has been hijacked by those who crave power and control. "Animal Farm" is a captivating and deeply allegorical novel that holds a mirror to society's dynamics, exploring themes of totalitarianism, propaganda, and the dangers of unchecked authority. Orwell's sharp and incisive prose exposes the flaws and contradictions of human nature, challenging readers to question the nature of power and its ability to corrupt.

The Constitutional Convention of 2022 by Kevin O'Kane (Threadsafe Publishing & Railway Maintenance Co.) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

In 2016, after eight years of health care and immigration debacles, epidemics and riots, the Democrat Party implodes. But from the ruins, a new, authoritarian, neo-fascist Progressive Party rises on a sea of fat cat funding. Its political philosophy is simple: representative democracy is an obsolete and outdated concept from another era. In the modern world, governments should be run by experts and charismatic leaders, not 18th century debating societies. Through clever changes to the voting laws, a few well chosen dossiers supplied by the NSA, and a general amnesty, the Progressives seize control in the election of 2020. They quickly consolidate their power over the country by means of the endless alphabet soup of Federal agencies to which lazy Congresses, over many years, have delegated their authority. Congress itself becomes largely irrelevant. But things do not go well. Laws and policies once hammered out by political compromise are replaced by an endless stream ill-thought-out central government executive decrees. The economy spirals into depression. The government responds by printing ever more money to survive and pay its EBT clients. The country becomes so weakened that the Chinese boldly decide the time is right to strike. They dump their trove of worthless Treasuries onto the world markets. The dollar collapses. America is bankrupt. By 2022 the country is in chaos. The money is worthless and the cities are charred ruins after the food riots. States are seceding and printing their own currency. Mexican armies have recaptured large areas of the southwest. Russian and Chinese troops are on the move while the U.S. sells assets to buy foreign exchange. The nation is paralyzed. When all seems lost, the people finally rise to smash the Washington leviathan. But the federal beast, though wounded, fights back.
