>I took it at face value as a good story about animals running a farm.

I think adult 'socialists' ( as opposed to capitalists ) are in that league.

A quote come to mind: “If at age 20 you are not a Communist then you have no heart. If at age 30 you are not a Capitalist then you have no brains.”



Watch this quote become very silly over time, when the average material wealth of a 30 year old is in steep decline.


It's a Winston Churchill quote from 80 years ago.

Thanks to the leftward turn of the economy.


Survivorship bias people in their 30s be like "My money stacks have bullet holes, better buy some armor for my money stacks" ignoring the corpses and poverty of their less fortunate peers.
