Orwell's parable can be read as a biting critique of the rise of Russian communism with it's clear parallels to Trotsky, Lenin and Stalin but also the deeper examination of how even the best intented systems of change and governing can be subverted by selfish nature and corruption. And that's the part proving it's longevity. The story outlived the Soviet Union and will continue to be not just critical of socialism or communism but of any 'revolution in thought' offering supposedly simple solutions to eternal issues.
Like snowball, the Trotsky character, is a war hero against the humans trying to take back control, then seeks shelter with people who supported the humans trying to take back control
Stalinist Russia was far more fascist than communist. It really is a shame that communism has become synonymous with someone more akin to Hitler, but with populist worker based rhetoric instead of nonsense about race superiority.
If you actually knew anything about the author and his political views, youd know you're dead wrong. This is against the Soviet union, but though it was censored in America, he said "Every line of my serious work fights, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism, and for democratic socialism."
my guy, you did not get the point of the story lol Animal Farm is anti-capitalism and espacially anti-authoritarianism. It's an allegory to the Soviet Union but it's not anti-communism at all. It's actually totally pro-socialism and pro-communism, as the only good and happy time the animals had was betweem the revolution and the rise of Napoleon as an authoritarian leader, where the animals were actually in charge of the farm, as a community, and where the animals had actually installed communism lol. This isn't even just my interpretation, it's literally George Orwell's intention of the book. The actual "moral of the story" isn't even just "capitalism bad" or "revolution bad". Orwell tells you, that if you take a bath, there might be the possibility that you're going to drown. But even tho there's a certain chance you might actually drown, he doesn't tell you to never take baths again. Just to be aware. That's the message of the book. Not to never do revolutions ever again, just because they might fail (again), but to always be aware of the possibility of failure and it's consequences. But also that capitalism is bad of course lmao
@@trollbiene8410 No he did entirely get the point because what happened in Animal Farm is exactly what happened in the Soviet Union. Being pro socialism (Orwell believes in democratic socialism) and against Soviet style communism are not mutually exclusive
In Chapter 9 of the book Animal Farm, the pigs take control of the farm and start to run it like a communist regime. The pigs use propaganda and manipulation to control the other animals, and they become more oppressive over time. This chapter highlights the dangers of totalitarianism and how even those who initially support a revolutionary movement can become corrupted by power and greed.
If only the Animals had examples of this happening in the past. I bet they would not have fallen for it. Unless...someone told them next time it would be different. 🙄
Animalism is the echoe of a ever lasting dream, equlity and justice for all animals not matter the size of their brawn or their brain. However, as beautiful as it sounds, it's just that, an ever lasting dream that will never come true. Why? You may ask, and the reason is simple. They trusted their leaders cause they were like them, but that's the catch: They *were".
Well, even if some stories like Animal Farm has no good ending, it's always good to imagine one. Think of something we never know might happen. Maybe after all the animals discovered the truth of Napoleon's colors, the animals would quickly evacuate the farm while the pigs, dogs and their guest were eating and drinking until they were too gassed to know the animals escaped and hopefully finds a better and safer farm, with no pigs.
The pigs would have anticipated something like this and put up barbed wire around the farm and had dogs patrolling the perimeter to kill any animal trying to escape.
The moral of this story is not neccesairy the piggs being bad. But actually the power they achieved making them bad. Which intrestingly refers to alot of todays real life situations. This book is like a philosophical mindgame shrouded in a fair tale. And is in no way suppost to have a good ending.

A better analogy for what's happening in Africa would be if some farmers claimed they were for animal rights, instigated uprisings at this and other farms, manipulated them to fall into complete ruin, then became even richer because they used the animals to eliminate competition.
Great summary of this Orwell classic. The scene with Napoleon and the portrait of him up on the wall made me think of North Korea and the Kim dynasty. Mao also. Big photos looking down over the people!
Before I knew who George Orwell was, I read this book and thought the author must be the most ardent anti-communist in the world. How strange he could write a story like this and still be an advocate for communism. Even he didn't get it.
Animal Farm is not anti-communist. It’s a cautionary tale of how a more equal society is at risk of the smartest group coordinating a takeover. In fact, the only time when the animals are truly happy is during the brief time when they controlled the means of production. Whenever power and supplies were owned by a few, it was bad. If anything, it’s a criticism of capitalism and how the few who control the resources will make slaves of the rest
Idk how people are finding it simply anti-communist 🤦. That's an insult to Orwell imo... Calling this anti-communist story. Animal farm is way more than that
@@bradrex4856not really a criticism of capitalism either though. Capitalism also ensures/ need to ensure free Market and competition whereas Animal farm ends up in a totalitarian regime with no free market or even freedom ... Which is a more accurate representation of Soviet union and all. But yes, your point of Animal farm being a cautionary tale is right. It's a warning , a message for the public to see how idealistic revolutions can end up taking you back to where you start or even worse... If the public is not cautious enough. Nowadays the fall of communism and USSR serves as a big fat example for this same phenomenon
My Question about this book is did George Orwell think that Russia would've been better off Under Trotskyism? From what I understand he hated communism so Stalinism and Trotskyism should surely have been two sides of the same coin to him?

Because the government made it required reading for high school during the Cold War where the curriculum says to drill in "communism scary and bad," and since few people would ever return to it after high school and so much time's spent on the book, it sticks
I wasn't required to read this story in school. But I read it voluntarily before I saw the animated and life action version. Another story I read "The Lord of the Flies" also addressed government. And I made a chilling comparison. In one story, you have too much order and in another you have too little order. The people should never have to be afraid of their government, rather the government should fear it's people. And always keep their well being in mind. As we all know this isn't always the case. And you'll always find corruption no matter where you go in everything. You'll always have that one parasite whose out for him or herself. Taking bribes, covering up certain facts and lying to cover their own incompetency and treacherous nature.
