    Have you read Jack London’s The Iron Heel?

    It is really the prequel to 1984, even Orwell said as much. 1984 stays with you but The Iron Heel will haunt you.

        the main character has a couple speeches but I remember one in particular is so on spot for what capitalism is, that it was like OMFG THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!! FUCK!!!

        Like 1984, it does not have a happy ending.
