Introduction

Animal Farm is a story told in a barn by animals. The animals are treated severely,

resulting in a widespread rebellion in which their masters are overthrown. The reason is that they

should benefit from their work, create a society in which all animals are equal, free and happy

and live their own lives. We live in similar times, and books such as Animal Farm are

particularly relevant in these times and are worth reading on a regular basis to remind us how

dictators profit from the human desire for a world that is better for their own selfish interests.

Similarities between Animal Firm and happening in the US

Symbols of destruction

Also today we see that every symbol reminiscent of antebellum slavery is destroyed.

Whilst one may reasonably argue that every African American remembers this dark era in the

history of the Confederate Flag, there are other measures that are less useful. Andrew

Jacksonville, Florida was appointed the seventh president of our country. Yes, he possessed

slaves — nearly everybody else at the time. Does it have to be renamed? Should his picture be

taken out of $20? As his statues come down all over the country, we are well on the way

(Mekonnen, Mesfin and Arjen., pg 401-415)

Free Speech

Farm animals are not founded on the "Seven Commandments," but have a constitution.

Anything that passes over two legs is an enemy, no animals are a friend, no animals are to sleep in

bed, no animals are to drink alcohol, no animals are to kill any animals, no animals are to wear

clothes and all animals are identical. On the side of a barn are the commandments written. As the

authoritarian regime grows, a boar called Napoleon turns into the ruthless ruler of the farm after a
sudden, premature death of the major after the revolution. With the time, his disciples follow the

darkness and paint the commandments with changes. They added number four in order to make

the read now: "No animal should drink alcohol," "...not to excess..." after Jones's stash of mash

bourbon had been found. The latter, number seven, 'All animals are alike' adds an additional

absurd and cynical clause: '...but some livestock are equal.' A dichotomy develops that special

exceptions can be made depending on what is considered important or trendy at that time.

America is based on the freedom of expression principle. It should be welcomed on our

campuses. However, it is only when that talk coincides with students, professors and

administrators' generally leftist ideology. If not, your speech will be shouted down, if not canceled

outright. Lastly, the name "cancel culture" was born. "Free speech" is therefore only welcome on

behalf, because some are "more welcome than others." "Free speech"

Rewriting history

A hymn, the "Beasts of England," was the farm. It was frequently sung in meetings until

they were forbidden. The song is later also abolished. When the animals ask why they say "It isn't

necessary anymore," it was... the rebellion song. But the rebellion is over now." It was sung while

a desire for a new society existed. "But now that society was formed. This song clearly has no

purpose any longer." Thus, even if it is useful for remembering it in the course of history when

rulers choose that something no longer is necessary.

Similarly, previously important symbols are now deemed useless, or even worse,

insensitive or abusive to others. Today too, American history is purged. Statues fall every day.

Still the U.S. Grant has been overthrown, who fought south to end slavery. After reading Martin
Luther King's 'Birmingham Jail Letter' from his class, a UCLA professor is under investigation.

Now his students could be denied a "moral" classic American paper. It goes without saying that

the author was an important and non-violent leader of the civil rights movement. There are now

everyday attempts to expose U.S. history.

The role of science

The animals notice that the milk for the cows has disappeared not long after the

revolution. It is said to have been mixed into the pigs' mash every day. Pigs are also given apples

that fall from the trees. The animals oppose, but they tell them, "Our sole object, of course, is to

preserve our health, the pigs, who are making new norms. Milk and apples(Science, companions)

have been proved to be essential in terms of the pig's well-being. We are responsible for the whole

management and organization of this farm. We watch for your welfare day and night (Bland.,

2015)." Thus, even in 1945, a political argument was gained with the word "science." How often

have we heard that the socio-economic decisions of government concerning the pandemic are

only made after they are "led by science?' Sometimes the guidelines were correct and sometimes

they were not correct. The limits of science are there. The medical and scientific voices say

everything we need to know during this ongoing pandemic of corona virus. Except the two major

virus questions cannot answer: how much worse is it going to get, when is it going to end? As

often as they were right, the best models were wrong (Mashhady et al., pg398).

For its corona virus forecasts, the Institute for Health Metrics and Assessment (IHME)

together with politicians have often quoted it to support recommendations on lock-down. How

precise were the predictions of the Institute? The short reply isn't that much. The IHME model
was considered by an independent international team to underestimate the uncertainties related to

COVID19 death rate forecasts and the IHME model was considerably underscored."

Fear as a political tool

There is no indication that effective thinking control or political repression as described

in 1984 will occur or will occur. Democracy seems as strong as ever: Trump's immigration

instructions are melted by courts on "an island in the Pacific" and anti-trump ratings are passed

on the rooftops of late night TV. Every morning, the bogeyman Trump appears to fade with

political reversals and statements like, "I stand by nothing!" Each morning sunrise. A few basics,

such as the budget, are barely agreed by the White House and by the Republican Congress.

A slightly different scenario for political promises was envisaged by Animal Farm. When Orwell

wrote about failures of the Russian Revolution, she pictured a farm which overthrew her master

and replaced him by a collective pig management. These smart pigs promised to reorganize

society along equal (populist) lines in order to reward the animal workers for their work on a fair

and just farm. The ruling pigs of Animal Farm gradually became man-like and forgotten their

promises of change as Russia, where Stalin replaced Trotsky and Lenin's vision of the Gulag

camps and a system of brutal repression and corruption.

The leaders of Animal Farm kept the facts in check by dimming with smokescreens. The

Trump administration's allegory is thus dead. Wall Street officials are now in charge, who were

once lambasted by Trump as "removing the murder." On the first day of Trump's office, China,

the "currency manipulator" is now a strategical ally who contributes to the fight against North

Korea (Jauhari et al., 2020).

 After strongly criticizing his predecessor's golf outings, Trump's transformation into a

golf course is now just out of Animal Farm. Then the withdrawal of NAFTA—a column of its

platform doesn't occur. It’s another page straight away in Animal Farm that the populist Trump

gave unprecedented access to some of America's largest corporations in return for millions of

dollars' donations. The whole facing of Animal Farm governance was intended to appease

horses, sheep and hens with fresh mottoes and false schedules. Trump would have been a

suitable Animal Farm infrastructures slogan with his "drain the swamp" mantra. The pigs, who

had fear of losing control of the farm, created fantastic threats to tie their subjects. How is that

different than what Trump tells us about the Mexican rapists' threat?

Orwell, possibly the brilliant political mind of the 20th century, anticipated the fake news

phenomenon. The Cowshed's history, in which animals freed the farm from humans, had been

told and reported with falsified news, as the pigs were beginning to clash. There were constantly

new spins on the facts. So, later, Snowball, a true hero of the Cowshed battle, was said to have

been on side with people. Even Trump's deleted tweet on "hosting Palestinian President

Mahmoud Abbas' honour in the White House" was anticipated at Animal Farm when it became

politically required to write on the barn wall to be changed. The animals could not remember or

modify their original writings. Even Sean Spicer was anticipated by Orwell. The pigs have a

Squealer, who has the responsibility to reconcile the irreconcilable and analyze the absurdities

that pigs' administration has in non-sequitur pronouncements.

Conclusion

Ultimately, Orwell can only make his hat for his unbelievable foresight and his

remarkable allegory to emphasize issues of greed, treachery, inequality, deception, repression,

manipulation, corruption and hunger for power. The masses must not be brainwashed by the

ruling class; they must not remain neutral or silent and be careful not to misrepresent any new

leadership that might take control of their freedoms or freedoms. Animal Farm teaches a society

ruled by its peers and its own kind to tyrannize its animals as well. It asks how much change can

really be made in a change of regime for the working classes. George Orwell is critical of

communism, or the way communism has taken place in the Soviet Union, in the main in Animal

Farm. Animal Farm The book demonstrates how the communist movement begins by speaking

about helping people and making everyone in their lives speak out.
