    Animal Farm is predominantly based on the Soviet Union when Joseph Stalin took control of Russia and used Leon Trotsky as a scapegoat. Stalin, the communist dictator of the Soviet Union from 1922-1953, was much like Napoleon. Stalin killed anyone who opposed him and abused his power to enforce unjust laws. Likewise, after Napoleon led the revolution, he gradually gained control until he ruled over every aspect of the farm and murdered anyone who stood in his way. Stalin used…

    The most beneficial view of human life can sometimes turn out cruel and monstrous when it is fueled by power, greed and a lust for more. The two dictators Napoleon, the pig from Animal Farm and MUAMMAR AL-Qaddafi of Libya are examples of those who try to achieve their ideal government but end up corrupted by more power than thought possible. Napoleon created power for himself by using various methods. He is described in the novel as a “Fierce looking boar”. Similarly, Qaddafi was an unpredictable leader, brutal and intransigent to the end. MUAMMAR AL-Qaddafi of Libya and Napoleon,the pig are two powerful leaders who are similar due to their rise to power, laws/policies, and cruelties.…

    In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, a new “political party” is created by the members of their animalian society, which is not only comparable to Communism in theory but also in execution. This so-called political party goes by the name of Animalism; a name that is reminiscent of Communism due to the pronunciation. There is far more to Animalism than the name that brings the thought of Communism to mind.…

    For starters, both Napoleon and Pol Pot made attempts to rid parts of their 'old societies'. To do so, Napoleon burned all human tools and avoided the Manor House. He also pushed the animals to work harder than ever on the farm. "All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy to work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice well aware that everything they did was for the benefit of themselves and those who would come after them." (Orwell page 5) Similarly, Pol Pot destroyed all existing jobs and forced everyone to work back breaking hours on a farm to create a classless peasant society. Secondly, both rulers used the aspect of fear to control the other people/animals in the community. Napoleon always roamed around with his retinue of dogs to drill fear into anyone willing to challenge his authority. He was always quick to kill anyone that might be against him, even if the evidence was not prominent. In the same way, Pol Pot used detention centers such as S-21, to drive some into such fear that they confessed to things they were innocent of. The last parallel between both rulers is that they both adopted names that made them appear to be friendly. Although this was deceptive, the point was to brainwash all into thinking that their ruler was a friend, not a foe. For example, Napoleon went by the title Comrade Napoleon in the beginning of the novel to gain the animals trust and support. "Loyalty and obedience are more important." (Orwell page 50). Likewise, Pol Pot changed his title to Brother Number One. What brings Napoleon and Pol Pot together in comparison, is their violent tactics, controlling power, and use of…

    Animal Farm by George Orwell was trying to show the dislike of communism. Because the old form of government end up being quiet similar to the new form. Orwell shows this by getting rid of Mr. Jones for mistreating the animals, and overtime Napoleon a pig comes to power, the same thing happened but with a different look. George Santayana wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This quote is similar to Orwell’s dislikes and the way he shows it in the book. Both the people and the animals forget the past and end up as before.…

    The North Korean supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, rules North Korea with the government system of Socialist State Republic. Socialist Republic refers to a society where the resources belong to everyone rather than to a small class of capitalists. This government type is very similar to one in Animal Farm, Animalism. Animalism is a philosophy defined by its seven commandments that encourage equality among the animals. Animal Farm also encourage socialism where “7. All animals are equal” (25, George Orwell). Kim Jong-un control the population by using his father’s establishment, Juche or Kimjongilism (a national policy of self-reliance). Similar to the Manor Farm or Animal Farm, the citizens in North Korea were forced to study Juche, likewise the animals learned the seven commandments. Each of the citizens in North Korea has jobs- such as farming, military, or finance- that they have to do to keep the society running. Meanwhile, the animals also have different tasks that they have to do such as cleaning the cows’ tails and re-educating the rats and rabbits. One more common factor of Animal Farm and North Korea is that the outsiders doesn’t usually know what is happening internally and the society/nation can choose what to project out to the world. In conclusion, both society supports socialism where the book is an allegory that symbolizes humans very…
