"They'd have to be ten times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres - you know what I'm saying? "
Are you talking about one charming motherfucking pig?

I don't eat anything that doesn't have the sense to disregard its own faeces. |

"I'd like them to rewrite it with chimpanzees, almost planet of the apes esq like"
That'd be interesting, the setting might be a zoo instead of the farm.
I loved the latest planet of the apes trilogy. Caesar and Koba had a Napoleon and Snowball type relationship. |

Good point. I lose track of all the allegories in Animal Farm. So many parallels to draw. Humanity makes me sad. It never learns. |

There's so much going on in it. I felt sorry for all the other animals who were too trusting and/or dim to realise they were being taken advantage of.
Humanity is an utter mess. |

Fundamentally for me it’s not that humanity is a mess. Humanity has its problems, but the issue is when certain people use those problems to create division to set people against one another.
Or, as is the case in the book (and the USSR, which inspired the book), where a small group persuade people that a better, more egalitarian way is possible. All they need to do is let the small group lead them and make decisions for them. There were some worrying parallels in the last General Election, both in Labour and in several of the smaller parties.

Which happens more often than not. For instance in my country politics still boils to 'you better elect us or them'un's will get into power'
It's sadder still when the majority don't realise the small group are not of them or for them.
Poor Clover. |

I think if a few more people read and truly understood Animal Farm the small groups of ‘pigs’ would have substantially less power. |

You're not wrong. Unfortunately there are real life Squealers who are talented wordsmiths who blind folk. |

Any state that has claimed to be communist never was. It was dictatorship under a guise. |

Yes, the dictatorship of the proletariat. That is literally what state communism is, its one of the most basic elements. |

I get that. I suppose I meant we'd never seen Marx's theory play out properly because there has always been a man at the top in control taking more than his fair share. |
