The document discusses themes from George Orwell's novel Animal Farm and their parallels to the Russian Revolution. It analyzes several quotes and themes, including:
1) Under totalitarian leaders like Napoleon and Stalin, individuals only exist as extensions of the leader and have no personal power or voice.
2) Hard work and good intentions are not enough - dedication is not rewarded and dissent is punished, as seen with Boxer and those who spoke out in Russia.
3) Absolute power corrupts absolutely, as Napoleon and Stalin both became increasingly corrupt and greedy for more control as their power grew.
Mr. Jones the farmer is a drunk and cruel tyrant, and one day the animals on his farm have had enough of him, so they take over the farm and kick him out. They set up a government of their own. It starts out as an egalitarian government, where all animals are equal, but as time progresses it turns into a regime as repressive and totalitarian as that of Mr. Jones. Their new motto is "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." In the end they become a drunk tyrant just like Mr. Jones, so the revolution was not revolution at all.
