And many who live under capitalism still read the Animal Farm connecting the themes to their own experience of being an exploited worker, rather then that of the Soviet Union (which the book was obviously written about). But that is not the point. George Orwell never thought our only choice was capitalism or soviet style communism. He obviously sympathized with the animal revolution but hated the results. A real worker liberation is not when you switch out one oppressor for another, but when the workers seize the means of production for them self.

Similarly I don’t think the authors of Severance are advocating for a Soviet style communism as an alternative to capitalism. In fact I don’t see them advocating for any alternative (at least not during the 1st season). Simply they are stating that our current system has issues.
