1984 by George Orwell was strongly inspired by We by Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin. He was a former Bolshevik who grew disillusioned with authoritarianism, was critiquing the nascent Soviet bureaucracy, the philosophy of Taylorism, and the loss of individual imagination and soul in a collectivist project. He was warning against the trajectory of the revolution.
We is a modernist novel. It is fragmented, philosophical, and heavily reliant on symbolism and stream of consciousness. I would suggest to read We by Zamyatin, to the readers who prefer modernist complexity over narrative accessibility.
We contains a more pervasive and psychologically intense exploration of sexuality, which is essential to the protagonist’s philosophical unraveling.

Thanks for the suggestion.
While not a novel, Mattias Desmet’s The Psychology Of Totalitarianism’s also a good read to be aware of such things.
… Also, frighteningly, Edward Bernays’ Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) (and Propaganda (1928)), to learn from the monster’s mouth, what inspired Hitler’s Mein Kampf (1925), and many other psyops put upon us.
Also even contrast Marx, to the anarchist writings of e.g. Mikhail Bakunin who said “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality”, to see how Marx usurped the words (like “communism”) and philosophies of anarchists, to hand them over to the tankies and totalitarians.
As relates to the original post, perhaps we, the people, can yet end up with the “girl” of a good system (or lack of system), even after it being perverted to something that hates us while she’s with someone else (… the pedovore aristocratic satanists).
Can still mend this.
