Animal Farm - How some animals are more equal

 

Animal Farm - written by George Orwell is a very unique book to me. I just started reading books this year, like more seriously. And this was one of the books that felt an imprint on me. I've just read this once and it needs more than just one reading.

The premise of animal farm is simple, Manor Farm is owned by Mr. Jones, he fails to properly treat the animals present in the farm, so the animals decide to do a revolution, led by the pigs of the farm overthrew Mr.Jones and manage the farm theselves, slowly this revolution looses its point making the whole ordeal trivival. 

Sounds similar? Yeah thats the unfortunate part. Initially it was a metaphor to the Russian revolution, but it is also very relatable our country. 

Animal Farm deals with very serious subjects, like how criticizism is treated as anti nationalism, how logic threatens the powerful. How every revolution becomes pointless. 

George Orwell was once a victim of this, he, though an english man participated in the spanish civil war, siding with the communists. Slowly the whole revolution became pointless, and became a game of "who's more loyal to our Russian paymasters"

Now the question may arise, is this a capitalist propoganda? 

No, this book is against capitalism, imperialism and colonialism. The old pig, which ignited the revolution calls for an immediate action against exploitation of the underprevilleged, in this story

it is the animals, at the same time it doesn't side to one ideology. Like how we are stuck in a mess, by mob culture, fear mongering, propoganda and manipulation. The book shows how the line between opperessors and the so called saviours from oppressors have become so blurred that one cannot find difference between both of them. 

To me, this book drove every bit of hope out of me, guess that's what truth will do
