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"
They say you aren't supposed to associate the art with the artist? And to them I have to say is, who is they? What kind of stupid idea is that? If an artist is a fucking snitch who abandoned the movement he was in and worked tk actively harm it im most definitely gonna be calling his art shit because the person was shit. Fuck George Orwell
also he constantly associated his hardcore anti-communism into everything he wrote
