The farm setting serves to highlight how authority creates corruption, especially in government. Farms, like countries, require a large number of everyday functions to run successfully. Orwell, who was born in England, chooses an English farm rather a Russian one to bring the message closer to home.

It symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under Communist Party rule.

Communism is known as Animalism in the Animal Farm

Communism depicts a classless society in which private property is fully abolished and all property is communally owned. It is, in essence, the polar opposite of capitalism. The government seizes control of industry and agriculture in this political system, claiming that it is in the best interests of the people, particularly the poor. The government would also collect all of the people's money in order to run a central banking system for them. The importance of equality among classes, genders, and races is highlighted, and it is established through a graduated income tax system in which the wealthy pay more and the poor pay less.

Historical Relation

karigom24 — 2022-02-10 06:11:41 UTC

In a nutshell, "Animal Farm" is an allegory depicting Joseph Stalin's rise to power and the advent of communism in the former Soviet Union. The good picture of the World War II era and the postwar Soviet Union disappointed Orwell. He saw the Soviet Union as a harsh dictatorship in which the people suffered under Stalin's control.
