The Hidden Truth of Animal Farm Chapter One

Your English teacher lied about Animal Farm. It is not just about talking

animals. It is a brutal takedown of Stalin's Soviet communism, written by a

man who saw betrayal firsthand. Old Major's speech is literally Lenin's revolutionary rhetoric repackaged

for a farm. The horses represent the workers, the pigs the intellectuals,

and the dogs the secret police. The song Beasts of England is a direct parallel

to the socialist anthem, The Internationale. It shows how revolutionary dreams are

often hijacked by those who claim to uphold them.
