* In the neo-Nazi novel ''[[The Turner Diaries]]'', the Aryan race is finally "liberated" as the protagonists let atomic, biological and chemical bombs rain over the entire planet, exterminating over 90% of mankind. [[Author Tract|This is portrayed as a happy ending]].
* In ''[[Discworld/Guards! Guards!|Guards Guards]]'', most of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night feel like this in their low-grade, resentful way. Notably, this is played for ''laughs''.
{{quote|'''Brother Plasterer''': I reckon my brother's been oppressing me with this new flashy carriage of his. I mean, ''I'' haven't got a carriage. That's oppression, that is.}}
* Another Orwell example occurs in ''[[Animal Farm]]'', where one of the revolution's slogans is "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad." It's horribly subverted later in the story, however, as {{spoiler|the ruling class of pigs essentially become human, and teach the sheep to chant "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better."}}
