"Beasts of England, Beast of Ireland, Beast of every land and clime, hear my glad tidings of the golden future." George Orwell's novel Animal Farm, Orwell depicts the corruption exhibited by Russian communists as leaders gain more power. Socialism, communism and capitalism are very different but they have one thing in common and that is their history of corrupt and greedy leaders. Although this novel depicts corruption in leadership, it has often been dismissed as ridiculous towards communists due to Orwell's position as a socialist. At first, publishers were afraid to publish Animal Farm because of its anti-Soviet content, although today it is considered one of the hundred best English novels. The short-sightedness of leaders has reigned for centuries while people hold to the “this is better” concept, all inevitably destroyed by ignorance, greed and wickedness. George Orwell conjured up several interpretations of his classic Animal Farm, but we prevail in none of the ideals because of corrupt leaders. The novel begins with Mr. Jones abusing his power over animals and bathing in the luxury of their sweat while an obvious drunk, but the story also ended with the same corruption. The only time power is used for good is when animals unite for their emancipation. After the animals are free, power struggles begin and corruption divides the animals. Corruption exists under the animal's government just as it existed in Mr. Jones' government, it is not the type of government but the type of characters in the government. Capitalist Pigs by David Futrelle expresses his opinion on Capitalist in the same depiction of corrupt leaders, when Orwell's work obviously covers the spectrum. Apparently, knowing Orwell's work isn't enough, but some have to imitate his success and put in their two cents. Orwell set the stage for this kind of allegory and, indeed, we have people who ride the coattails of success just to be able to do so. get their piece of the pie. Where were these people when publishers were afraid to publish Animal Farm, due to its controversies. Even TS Elliot called Animal Farm "generally Trotskyist" and refused publication of his manuscript, but when the fear of controversy subsided, everyone praised Orwell for his work. Orwell created Napoleon as a representation of the communist leader Joseph Stalin and just as Stalin did, Napoleon promised and had in the beginning somehow convinced that his way was better.
