You've read 1984 surely? I had to read both it and Animal Farm in high school. A Libertarian would quote Orwell because 1984 was about the control of people by government. Wilson thought Animal Farm was a thinly veiled allegory of the Russian revolution.

I liked the rat and giant squid articles. The homing pigeon article bored me.
