Inspired from the movie The Equalizer where the lead character was making his way through the ‘100 books everyone should read’ list.
I started with the low hanging fruit of ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell.
A rather short satire on communism which was erringly accurate in foretelling of future events in the real world i.e. when operationalised this far left ideology eventually implodes and bizarrely morphs into fascism.
My take is that it is because selfishness is an inherent trait in humans and to expect all to give their all all the time for the common good is asking for too much and going against human nature.
