I just read Animal Farm. It is impressive how a book published in 1945 is still so relevant today. The mechanism used to manipulate people nowadays is based on the exact same logic George Orwell described—explaining, from my point of view, the populist and far-right movements we see all around the world.
On the farm, the animals are tired, confused, uneducated, and quite often too scared to act against authority. Rules aren't changed all at once, but one by one, making it difficult to understand or remember their true impact.
This book is a direct message from the past, reminding us how precious our freedom is—and that we must always take care of it, reading, voting, trying to make the difference in our lives.
