The whole takeover of the pigs was only because the pigs were generally smarter than the animals; Animals on the farm would get lied to every other day. In spite of Napoleon's violence the animals would have been better off if they were as smart as the pigs because, They would have understood squealers slides, known when the rules had been changed, and would have been able to read the book for the windmill on their own.

In the novel, The animal’s ignorance makes them prey to Squealer’s manipulation. For example, when the milk and apples are lost and the animals find out the pigs have taken them, Squealer justifies why the pigs took the milk and apples by saying that they “preserve their health” and “contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig” (36).

The pigs took away rights and lives of their own citizens as did the Soviet’s, which helps teach what the book was trying to show that when these political figures gain such power, that they should not use it to only their advantage but to everyone’s.

This is because Napoleon used his power for his own well-being like the humans and eventually resembled one. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” pg.124 The image of the pigs appearance is tarnished by the way the pig treated his citizen as did Stalin.

Once this extra income of supplies started flowing in, this shortened work times, but also lowered the animal’s morale. A quote that supports this claim, is “From now onwards Animal Farm would engage in trade with the neighboring farms” (76).

He even threatens the animals whenever they don’t follow the orders given that it is some unfair and unlogical orders, he gained this stance by use of manipulation. Squealer, his propaganda machine manages throughout the novel to persuade all the animals that Napoleon is the best thing ever. With his positive control he uses that to his advantage to get animals to do everything. From this we can see that the leadership of Animal Farm is corrupt and we can also see that Napoleons power has gone past the point of being a leader but he has become a tyrant. Napoleon stated all animals are equal, but how can equality be achieved when Napoleon is giving orders, telling animals what they can and can’t do, telling some animals they have to work and others they don’t.
