Animal farm readers only?

because the pigs try to gain control and take advantage over the other animals. communism will work in theory, but in reality there is always someone who wants to gain the most power. in the end, the idea of animalism is completely corrupt and the pigs end up exactly like man... probably even worse. in the beginning of the story, Old Major tells of his fantastic idea of animalism but then Napoleon totally twists it around to benefit himself. in real life history, Old Major is supposed to be Karl Marx and Napoleon is supposed to be Stalin. they also have Squealer to always justify the pigs' actions by using propaganda. At the end of the story, the Seven Commandments are condensed into "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others" the idea of communism is based on equality so this quote shows how it can never work and will always turn out with somebody gaining all the power and taking advantage of the society. hope that helped
