Click Clack Moo. All about labour organizing, with a nice dose of animal rights.

is it indoctrination if I read these to my nieces and nephews?

Dr. Seuss has some real bangers.

Yertle the Turtle - about regular workers overthrowing an oppressor

The Sneeches - anti-consumerism

The Lorax - environmental

The Butter Battle Book - deep cut Seuss about the arms race during the cold war haha

Yeah these are good. I can't bring myself to read Butter War to my kids. Its so fucking bleak. First time I read Lorax to my oldest it made me cry. These books hit real different when you have kids.

I’m not sure if these books are available in Germany, and if it’s appropriate for such a young child, but my mom used to read a series of books from Nikolai Nosov called “Neználek” in Czech with me.

It takes place in a communist society. This was my first exposure to communism, and I remember asking my father why we can’t just get houses for free, because it seems like it would help everyone… to which I got a lecture about how communism can never work, etc, you get it. I was like 5 lol

Anyway, that would be my recommendation.

The Little Red Hen and Cory and the Seventh Story are the first two that come to mind.
