I understand that Animal Farm is a satire of Stalin and the russian revolution, but I don't understand the message that is trying to tell us.
The book is about a group of farm animals that is being oppressed by the farmers, so the animals, commanded by the pigs overthrow the farmers and the animals get in control but in reality is the pigs who end up controlling the farm and they are as bad as the farmer.
So to me the message is simple: "don't revolt, don't try to change the status quo, nothing will change if you try, so don't do it"
That was a great read, put into words my feelings about the book way better than I could have.
As always, fuck George Orwell.
check out isaac asimov's review of 1984
That's the GOAT but I will definitely read it again now (I'm on an anti Orwell kick tonight now I guess)

That was great. He is so much worse than I knew
I'm rapidly coming to regret my prior support of Orwell. I guess that's what growing as a person feels like; regret over stupid shit you said in the past.
Nice, I'll check it out, thanks!
