i enjoyed this far more than 1984, maybe because the premise is more clear and understandable. i feel like it’s also more accurate to how the world is, and it can be compared to so many different governments. very insightful and could easily make someone aware of the unfairness in their own society.
The basis and concept of Animal Farm have been reduplicated and pondered over so much at this point that the entire plot was extremely predictable. However, it still expresses it and makes you think in a way that is very profound, and I think with the context of the surface-level message (how social movements, especially Marxist ones, devolve) you're able to see some of the deeper analogies like the types of working class people that Boxer, the rats, Benjamin, etc. represent and how that informs one's ideology. That's what makes it a classic, and a must-read for anyone anywhere.
