    Old Major, a middle white boar, represents Karl Marx and holds a secret meeting in the barn to share his vision of Animalism with the other animals. He wants freedom and equality for the animals and passes on his wisdom about life, mentioning his dream of a revolution. Old Major's vision of Animalism where all animals live equally never comes to pass, as he dies before any rebellion can happen, just as Marx died before witnessing any communist revolution. Old Major symbolizes Marx's call for workers of the world to unite against oppression.
