In Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle", convincing arguments against socialism and capitalism are born by using animal terms and suggestions in depicting people and politics. The preface of Christopher Phelps said: Primitives slaughter people like cattle. "(1) This is the basis of Sinclair's assertion that capitalism promotes competition among working classes only for survival.

Upton Sinclair devaluated the capitalist system to promote socialist interests through his novel "jungle". The example of socialism provided by Sinclair is theoretical. You can see it from the perspective of Ostrinski, Lucas and Nicholas Schliemann. Socialism is not established in the political arena, it is just being welcomed among the working class. Socialism is proposing to remove the gap between capitalists and proletariat. It is designed not to rely on specific wages, but to give everyone the opportunity to benefit from their labor. Liberate workers from bondage and try to create a world where everyone contributes to the success of mankind.
