I think we're at the part in Animal Farm where the windmill fell for the first time. https://youtu.be/uqH_Y1TupoQ?si=0t30EUUTIjtzoowh

What does a windmill have to do with anythjng
Allusion to Animal Farm, which is relevant to the discussion about class warfare.
A child's book?
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel about farm animals taking their farm back from the farmer who owns them. After a while of having core tenets, their first and most important rule "All animals are equal" suddenly gets appended with "...But some are more equal than others." After this, the events are heavily based off of the rise of Communism*, and more specifically Leninism throughout the newly formed Soviet Union.
*Not to say that the entire book isn't an allegory for the rise of Communism but that's the way writing this brief summary sounded well in my head.
OK that's cool, it explains a lot of times I've heard it mentioned in media but if I knew it was george orwell it might have clicked funny thing is I've listened to ode to catalonia I think it is but must have just blindly passed animal farm
