I am looking for fiction books where the message is explicitly socialist or anti capitalist, sorta like Animal Farm, but against Capitalism.

Not really required, but it would be helpful if those books have easily accessible PDF copies of it.

Thanks in advance.

I think the author has some anti-soviet vibes

That's huge understatement, every single polish fantasy author, especially those in 90's breathes anticommunism like a dragon, but Sapkowski didn't really show it that much since he really immerses in the setting and this prevent the usual flood of anachronisms you will find everywhere else.

Bad thing is, half of his books are just crap, first two books of shorts and first 3 books of Witcher saga are good, later the quaity drops like stone in water and of the newer shorts some are fucking disgusting, one even said that pedophilia is ok as long as it's not on the human child which was like 180 turn from the old books which were antiracist and anti sex crimes.
