My favorite book would be both be George Orwell's political masterpiece, Animal Farm.
George Orwell as an author, felt to display the hidden truths behind politics, the hidden truths that they all know but choose to hide in the subconscious to act as if it won't happen. But they know it will.
First I would like to reflect off of Animal Farm. In animal farm there is a farm ran by a drunken, mean farmer. The animals are tired of putting up with such poor treatment so they run him out. After this they begin to form their own line of government, which is all based off of their 7 commandments, the most important commandment out of all of these is "All animals are created equal"
As there government is fully developed we learn that the pigs have taken full control of the farm, over powered if you will, and they soon rewrite the one commandment and add "All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others". This book signifies the treachery of communism. It shows the people (animals) as tired of there old harsh government and want to try some thing new that says it would support all but turns around and makes it's own rules.
