It seems that he wrote the story of my own country .. government , people are just like those animals!
USSR still being a Socialist regime just out of a devastating war aimed to destroy it, Orwell was using examples of Capitalism as a warning.
No, he was using the USSR as a warning, of how an enterprise that was intended to be socialist in nature quickly degenerated into a totalitarian nightmare. Capitalism was what the farm intended to overthrow and expunge, but in turn, they created something that was worse.
Diana I couldn't agree more, the book is a precise description of many of today's regimes. USSR was just an episode of an ever repetitive tragic series
I think you are write because it is kind of like what happened in Turkey with the mall. He really writes something that will always reflect humanism.
I have a question though. It seems to me that Animal Farm focuses on the tyranny of the government, even using pigs as an embodiment of politicians. So, in essence, the novel deals with the freedom of the individual, the freedom to decide for oneself. However, in its implicit criticism of Soviet Russia, it appears to not recognize the fact that businesses and corporations also have the ability to create systems of injustice. In the novel's portrayal of the government as a wicked entity, it has lost sight of the neoliberal propaganda of individual freedom and civil liberty....or maybe i was over-reading hahaha
