I am looking for fiction books where the message is explicitly socialist or anti capitalist, sorta like Animal Farm, but against Capitalism.

Not really required, but it would be helpful if those books have easily accessible PDF copies of it.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty much all of Vonnegut’s stuff is very pro-worker and very anti-capitalist. His novel Jailbird covers a fictionalised version of the Pullman Strike, Player Piano deals with automation and how it can negatively impact the worker, Slaughterhouse-five is (among many, many other things) anti-war. God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater concerns the class system and all its flaws. Hell, he dedicated Hocus Pocus to Debs. Plus, he was a fucking fantastic author to boot.

  1. Books from all tendencies are allowed. Please don’t downvote something just because it’s from somebody that you dislike.
  2. However, the general rule against sectarianism still applies here. A writing that takes a potshot at others every now and then is acceptable. Outright polemics dedicated to denouncing other tendencies belong elsewhere.
  3. No linking to online book stores.
  4. No memes or videos.
