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.

Ursula K LeGuin was anticapitalist and wrote books to match, often beautiful ones that recognize the complexity and variation of humanity. I’ll always recommend this short story, which you can read for free right now if you’d like. This particular story is the opposite of explicit, though - it’s a complex mix of metaphor and human connection. She does have other much more explicit works, though, like The Dispossessed.

The Jungle was explicitly and viscerally anticapitalist.

There are also many historical fiction books set during socialist revolutions.

Rules:

  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.
