Animalism-- #2

All Animals are equal but some more then others.


The idea of a communist state is in essence a good idea, creating equality and deminishing prejudice, greed and poverty. Everybody makes the same ammount of money, owns the same type of car, pays the same for goods and services, and for the most part is happy. 



In Animal farm, we see this very thing happen, the animals think that they are being treated poorly by the farmer. They decide to revolt, and they become a communist state. For a while, everything runs smoothly, and then greed and the lust for power take over. Animals begin being treated unfairly and conditions become poor.

  -----> This is common with communist states; they become totalitarian.

As with 1984, this fictional story is Orwell's comment on this issue, and though fictional, has direct references to communist states like Russia.
