For some insane reason my school had us read Animal Farm in English class a full year before they taught us about the Russian Revolution in history class. The whole time the English teacher was like "trust me, you'll get who this is when you learn about Russia."

Maybe that's why the liberal brainwashing didn't work on me.

We got taught 1984 and animal farm without any explicit mention of communism. And I was like “oh, this is a critique of our current democratic society”.
