Once you do it’s honestly a challenge to shut tf up about all the parallels for fear of being cliche, or at least it is for me. Doublespeak is here yk

One of the wildest things to me is that no one knows George Orwell was a democratic socialist. I guess America has perverted his work so much to make it seem anti-socialist, when really it’s antiauthoritarian. Like animal farm doesn’t want you rooting for the farmer, which would be the position if it was pro-capitalist.

I know it’s a downer but it’s very important that people can recognize the signs of authoritarianism early, and I would say that’s one of the next ways to do it.

The pigs represent the Soviet revolutionaries. They accumulate power and become corrupt despite the initially noble ideas of the revolution. Napoleon is very clearly Stalin, purging animals who he deems a threat to his rule. Snowball is clearly Trotsky, a noble idealist who wants to liberate nearby farms and is driven off by Napoleon for threatening his power.
