  • This along with The Dark Knight are my favorite movies of all time.

  • God it's like they don't even know what they're saying. Just brainwashed..

  • Jessie ( the dog ) is the best character in all of Animal Farm.

  • This is a epic movie.

  • Did you hear what the animals chanted? "Four legs good, two legs better!" wow, despite this movies' terrible ending when compared to the book, this scene was very well done.

  • @777greggy1777 The end was done to reflect real-world history, as it was made after the Soviet Union collapsed. It makes sense, and the part were the pigs are indistinguishable from the humans is kept in from the original book--it's just expanded on for the real world.

  • @harrietamidala1691 yeah, i understand why they did what they did, but Orwell wrote the book to convey the hope and then unsettling ending. I wish that for once a movie could stay accurate to the origional novel (or concept). Don't get me wrong, the movie was good.

  • I just remembered something funny!

    Patrick Stewart does Napoleon's voice. Napoleon is an allegory of Joseph Stalin. In the series "Fall of Eagles," he played Vladimir Lenin.

  • Fuck Communism

  • Triumph Of The Will---with animals.

  • this is a very underated movie and it should be shown in schools.

    *Knock knock*

    oh boy my triple bacon sauge sandwich is here

  • @Metalhead15712 Haha i just saw this in school..

  • @Metalhead15712 That last sentence is funny. I actually did see this in high school, freshman year, as an allegory for the Russian Revolution and subsequent Communist rule in the Soviet Union.

  • How could a pig dress himself in those clothes? He hasn't got hands with fingers only hooves!

  • @doobiesmoke15 the reason is that it is a metaphor of it...the animals are in reality real people..this novel is based on true historical events...the only thing is that instead of using humans on it the author use animals to represent the idea of propaganda in that country

  • I like the birds..... acting as a Fighter.....LOL

  • This part of the movie was and is terrifying to me. The whole idea behind "Animalism" was based off the exact opposite of what is going on in this scene. I do know that George Orwell believed that socialism had a chance in the hands of the right people or in the actual socieity itself. I myself find that Orwell did an amazing job of expressing that in the book and the scene came out frighteningly well in the movie.

  • Why does this song gives me goosebumps? Really... Is sort of disturbing, I don't know why

  • Eh, all you communists and capitalists just want to fuck the world over in your own special ways. I'll stick to anarchism, thank you very much. Viva Kropotkin!!!!

  • @NYanarchy08 I'm curious...what kind of anarchism?

    Anarch-communism: State and private property abolished right away. But...without State, how can you make sure private property is abolished at all? Expectations is that only small groups of people sharing same convictions lives in communities, fighting other groups. A real mess.

    Anarch-capitalism: This one should work. People living free doing whatever they want without harming others.

    I'm anarch-capitalist. And you?

  • @SturmFuhrerx I'm an anarcho-communist, but I do try to be less idealistic about it than some. I realize that it won't be easy and I think it could only work if anarchism was more popular than it is now, to keep some people from gaining power without having to resort to an organized state, but I think in the long run it would be worth it. No offense, but I think capitalism (anarcho or otherwise) is a scam. An upper class can be just as dangerous as a government.

  • @NYanarchy08 Government is the "upper class".

    If you want to keep "some people" from gaining power, you're already acting like a State, unorganized, but using coercion same way.

    Besides, where's the "scam" if 2 people are negociating freely for their best interests?

    I say again: you can't make sure there won't be any private property, unless everyone gives them away by free will. If you have to use coercion to achieve this, then it won't be "anarch", just plain communism, as always happen.

  • Reminds me of the military demonstrations you see in dictatorships like China and North Korea

  • he's building walls... and he says they're free.

  • i can't get over the way that duck marches in place...it's kinda freaky in a way to watch his feet...

  • Napolean may have been a powerful leader, but in my opinion, Snowball was the Chuck Norris of the whole farm.

  • So everonye, stop talking silly things about Animal Farm. Orwell, who was a socialist person, really believed and fought for it in the Spanish civil war. It is not about dictatorship or democracy, it is about having talented leaders or not.He also disappointed in many socialist people. If Snowboll had taken the leadership, everything would have been brighter in Animal Farm. Today's dogmas changed the message of this book, and people are repeating these dogmas here as well. The same like 1984...?

  • SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT OUT LOUD

    SNOUT, SNOUT, PINK AND PROUD

  • If at all possible, this anthem sounds even more powerful than the Soviet anthem.

  • @AuburnAttack21 especially the ending

  • I dont understand why the film changes to color, can someone please explain?

  • @matta173 The film is in colour, only it was set in the past, so you are watching the song on a black and white telivision! :D

  •  "My recent novel [Nineteen Eighty-Four] is NOT intended as an attack on Socialism or on the British Labour Party (of which I am a supporter), but as a show-up of the perversions . . . which have already been partly realized in Communism and Fascism. . . . The scene of the book is laid in Britain in order to emphasize that the English-speaking races are not innately better than anyone else, and that totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere

  • @FTJproductions This is what it's all about. Orwell's novels are TIMELESS! We cannot restrict them to a concrete people or regimes. 1984 was also laid in Great-Britain, not in Germany or USSR.

  • @17Ararat , I totally agree with you.I haven't read the book but only from watching the movie I got the same feeling.Orwell is not doing a promotion of his own political thesis, neither does he photograph a specific regime.I think it is much more than this.Mostly it is about the mechanism and tactics used by leaders throughout history in order to use people's thirst for justice for their own purposes.Dictatorship-especial­ly now-has many faces

  • @ioandes I knowwhat you mean. I see the film as Orwell trying to show the humans how similar we are to animals, and that we can be just as barbaric as them. And it also raises the question: if the animals become humans, then what do the humans become? In my opinion: animals.

  • @TheStealthX , exactly!That's what I meant.Only animals are not plotting for the next day to come.Sadly we may be even more barbaric than them

  • @ioandes Orwell was a regretful, deluded socialist. But of course, that doesn't mean he was a capitalist enthusiast. I think Benjamin, the Donkey, reflect Orwell's views.

    But this book is a warning to the dangers of the "Socialist Dream", and is especially a photo of Russian Revolution. The dates (October), the analogy of Napoleon and Snowball as Stalin and Trotsky, leaves no doubt.

    'Tis not "about the mechanism and tatics used" by ALL leaders. 'Tis ONLY about the ones SOCIALIST LEADERS used.

  • @SturmFuhrerx ,I understand what u say but for him to be deluded and regretful would mean that he just realized that tactics used by regimes he despised were finally used by political streams he felt strongly for.Like I said, dictatorship has many faces.In modern society and western countries, propaganda takes the prize.In the end, the root for all these is the thirst for power and control.Genuine interest in common good is really difficult to find in any political system

  • @ioandes Not in Libertarianism. First because libertarians do not think of the "common good"; we believe in the free interaction between individuals, doing whatever they want, as long as they don't harm others. We believe people should be free to make their own choices, and take responsability for the consequences of their actions.

    And what makes us far different from any other line of thought is: we DON'T believe we know what's best for other people.

  • Marx was a moron. If I could go back in time and kill one person it would be Marx.

  • @BabelOn4infinity y not hitler

  • @TheEDBShow Marx's ideology killed more people than Hitler could have ever dreamed of killing.

  • @BabelOn4infinity

    No, It was STalin's idealogy that killed millions

  • @Ringlord3434 Of course. 'Tis not Communism's fault. After all, Stalin, Mao and all other communists dictators surely read and were inspired by Ludwig von Mises works, not Karl Marx ones, right?

    ALWAYS Stalin, always Mao Tse, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, etc and etc...

    There'll ALWAYS be someone to blame and ALWAYS the same fucking excuse to start it all over AGAIN.

    Damn commies. We had enough of your lies already.

  • @SturmFuhrerx cause of your name i can guess your political attitude. So:

    Damn nazis. We had enough of your lies already.

  • @GenialerTyp My nickname means "Stormleader" in german. It's also some equivalent for "colonel", but 'twas not what I had in mind when I adopted it. I'm not nazi, commie or any leftist ideology with homosseuxal tendences for leader culting.

    Barking lies against me won't work against serious people. You're wasting your time, since you don't need to argue to convince commies retards. But if you want a serious debate, try arguing instead.

    I would gladly refute your commies fallacies ;)

  • @SturmFuhrerx oh dude. yes sturmführer means something like colonel... IN THE SS. and thanks to your typical right and close mined arguments ala "commie or any leftist ideology with homosseuxal tendences for leader culting." and so, i will stick to my first impression. argumenting with you would be sure much fun, but you know, my time is to precious than to waste it on random nazis on the internet.

    oh by the way if you dont get it: i just quoted yourself, so who is barking ;)

  • @GenialerTyp Yeah, is that so?

    Have you saw me defending the extermination of jews? Or the "arian supremacy"? Or simply an omnipresent State with a strong leader using weird mustache? Or any bullshit like this?

    No. So you can't say I'm a stupid nazi. The nickname doesn't proves anything. For all I remember, I tryed something like "Sturmkrieger" but 'twas already in use.

    If you have precious little time, then stop barking senseless accusations and do something useful.

  • Let's play a game: it's called "Find the 7 errors". After watching this video, watch this one, and find the errors...

    /watch?v=R5q8iMgkg9c

    I found just one so far: "Lenin, Mighty Leader" instead of "Napoleon, Mighty Leader".

    And you guys, which errors did you find?

  • @Ringlord3434 Socialism kill milions peaple. Stalin was only executioner. When you give your freedom for your own good, you become a slave

  • @HusarzSLAV capitalist democracy is killing alot more right now

  • @byrneball1 I hate democracy but where are you see the capitalism :O

    In Polen all taxes where you pay is 70% of your income

  • @BabelOn4infinity yeah but i would have saved my grandfathers family then people i dont know...just a family thing

  • @BabelOn4infinity I am pretty sure you meant kill Stalin, stalinsm and its succesors were the ones who murdered all those people, do you really think Marx would be proud of the DPRK or China if he came to our time?

  • Dear boy.....muahahahaha!

  • Communism is a streamline to Autocracy and Regimes. No one has yet to find one successful communist experiment WITHOUT disgustingly violating human rights.

  • what are they saying at 1:33?

  • @thewylion Shout, Shout, Shout it now Snout, Snout, Pink and proud

  • Four legs good!

    Two legs better!!

    fucking hell thats so creepy

  • i like the sound of the plane engines in the background as the geese are flying over

  • All glory to our great and glorious leader comrade Napoleon!!!

  • He renounced socialism in the book he died writing, 1984

  • i wish that all geese sounded like soviet airplanes...

  • Idealism is fine, but when it comes to reality it is far from perfect,

    Comunism was spouse to be an idealistic idea, to make a society where everyone are equal, where there is no economic dispair

    but when the leaders made their way, by stilling and killing, by executing everyone who stood in the way, and later by taking away liberty and justice, and making a society where the strong rule, and the weak are crashed

    people realized its just another crapy mambo jambo!

  • this looks more like a nazi rally

  • wow, isn't the internet a DANDY way to express political beliefs.

    clever you.

  • What a moving novel, this only intensifies my belief in Capitalism

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @allwittynamestaken you are aware the author was a communist, right? Just shows the treason of the Trotskyists when their antistalinist propaganda intensified people's belief in capitalism...

  • @Sjoeeblom lol, he was a socialist, and treason? I feel like the point of this movie went over your head.

  • Anyone else think that the movie would have been more powerful if they had just stopped right there at the end of the propaganda film?

  • @fdragon010 It really would have but, I think the reason that the didn't was that, like the book, it would end on a sort of cliffhanger. I'm sure the writers were eager to show the fall of Napoleon.

  • @fdragon010 Yeah, that would have been SO MUCH BETTER!!!

    Or if they had ended it the way the book ended, with Jessie saying 'I can't tell the difference...'

  • four legs good... two legs better

  • napoleon the leader of retardedness

  • The book was awesome.

    Movie helped me better understand what happened in the book, although it's not like I needed a picture, the book described it well itself.

    :)

  • The only thing I liked about the movie, apart from Kelsey Grammer and SIR Patrick Stewart.

  • This is probably the darkest, and coolest, part of the movie. As far as symbolism goes, I have always thought:

    Napoleon = Joseph Stalin

    Snowball = Leon Trotsky

    Old Major = Vladamir Lenin

    This may be right or wrong. I didn't study "Animal Farm" in high school. I read it on my own time because I found it interesting.

  • @CarltonBanks4Prez Old Major is Karl Marx. And of course Napoleon is Stalin!

  • @molemanninethousand It's been a matter of debate on who exactly represents Lenin in Animal Farm, but it's likely composite character, either Snowball (Lenin/Trotsky) or Old Major (Marx/Lenin). Most likely the latter, as Old Major's head was displayed in the farm like Lenin's remains were in Russia.

  • @CarltonBanks4Prez many ppl think old major was lenin and markz, becuz with marks he thought of it, and he died b4 he could see it, like markz, while lenin died b4 it really took off and then they6 displayed old majors body like lenin

  • God...this is just so scary to watch, you know? Still, I think this should be included in every history lesson around the world.

  • and whats funny, in Comunism there were classes, 1st class, the beloved leaders, 2nd class the doctors and the cientists and militarists, 3d class the botom of the society

    high classes had high privalages, due to their status, and a low class never had a chance to become higher class.

    so whats the point?

  • @jaguar4u2 Have you ever been to a (ex-) communist country or are you just copying what you found in your fake History books, that were written by "democratic" droids? Today most ex-communist countries are more oligarchic than they have ever been. Democracy is a utopia. Orwell was also socialist, who disappointed that communists, who were fighting in the Spanish civil war against fascists, did not recieve any help from Stalin, while Hitler supprted the Spanish fascist army. Learn History, idiot.

  • @17Ararat

    what the fu.ck it has to do with what I was talking about you moron?

    you make a Huge FART

    and telling me to learn history?

    Go away looser

  • @jaguar4u2 You were writing silly things without knowing anything about ex-socialist countries. I live in an ex-socialist country. That regime had many mistakes. Many. But you wrote was totally not true. You only write what you have heard. But you know nothing. The same like in 1984. You are a brainwashed person.

  • @jaguar4u2 And yes, you should learn more about History, before you write idiot and untrue things.

  • @17Ararat

    go get a shug

  • @jaguar4u2 That's what you are. If somebody does not agree with you, you cannot argue. That's how you were blaming communism (to be a democrat, you should at least learn how to debate)? Until you know nothing, only blaming others without knowledge and argument, you are no better than Stalin or Napoleon in Animal Farm. And you still do not know anything about socialist countries...

  • @17Ararat

    listen Noob

    Im Russian and I know better than you!

    so go eat Belgium Waffles and ZIP it!

    it wasnt an arguement anyway, you were just bitching like a Queen

  • This is Ironic, that Russia now is Capitalistic country ^^

    yes Capitalism sucks, allways there is someone on the bottom, and someone is too rich, and the economy allways crash and there are many arguements.

    but at list people can say "Goverment You Suck!", "Thats not what we want to do!", "I want more I want Better!" , without being executed.

  • Anyone else notice Old Major's head next to Napoleon? Pretty disturbing... But I do like the song though...

  • @reveriehill1614 It's a reference to the Lenin Mausoleum in Russia. And yes, the mere fact that the skull of Old Major was placed right next to Napoleon shows how the original vision of the revolution was twisted to serve Napoleon's regime. It's supposed to be disturbing in hindsight.

  • @LiveArtsCoLtd

    Napoleon's regime was "twisted"? Liberating the Jews, Emancipating the Poles, giving people basic human rights is "twisted"?

  • @LiveArtsCoLtd

    Unless you mean the pigs in Animal Farm, in which case I facepalm at my own attempt to start a historical debate.

  • @Scrinoverlord Yes, I mean Napoleon, the head honcho pig in Animal Farm. That Napoleon. It's in the video.

  • @LiveArtsCoLtd

    *Facepalm*

  • And this is easily the most delicious segment of this movie adaption. Four legs good, two legs better (panning out with Captain Picard's echo in the background, lol)

  • Yes, Orwell was a Trotskyist, just like me. The closest facsimile we have in America is the Socialist Party USA, which is a promising (but microscopic) party.

  • 4 legs good, 2 legs better? is that what they're saying?

  • @TheFuzzyElf  Yep, that's what they're saying.

  • I watched this when it first aired on tv. But watching it again now, it is quite horrifying. This scene gave me chills.

  • If Orwell was a true communist then he was pretty dumb for writing this book. More government = more problems and eventually a dude like stalin comes along and corrupts it to suit his own agenda/greed/selfishness.

  • @Hydra773 Dumb? No, he was actually pretty smart.Not to mention brave. He took what Stalin was doing to the USSR and turned it into a story that was easy for people to understand, helping the TRUE communists avoid falling for Stalinist propaganda. Stalinism and communism are not the same thing, Marx would have hated what that bastard did in his name.

  • XD lmao when i first saw this song in the movie, i gotta admit i laughed really hard. it was a bit freaky seeing Napoleon in clothes and on two feet

  • omg wht the hell i going to have nightmars because i saw napoleon in cloths and standing on to legs

  • The ending with Napoleon standing freaked me the hell out!

    The pigs' over wet noses didn't help either...

  • This is the direction out country is heading towards. And We will end up the same way Russia, Cuba, Germany, and China did unless we wake up and take a stand. Their is no veil of pretty language that can cover up what communism is. It is death.

  • @righteouswolf1 I'm sorry China? Strong, prosperous, and a superpower? Sounds like something we should be aspiring to be like.

  • @RapidCityJM yea sure, we should aspire to be like China. Oh by the way, did you know that the communism leader Mao Zedong killed, or really starved, his own people to death? He is known for INTENTIONALLY killing the most people in the 20th century. Sorry, but I don't think we should become like China in its communist stage.

  • @righteouswolf1 First of all, I didn't say Mao, I said CHINA. Second, if you really knew ANYTHING about what your talking about you would know China isn't communist, it's a one-party militariate and a CAPITALIST society. (That's why everything says Made in China=Trade) Anyone, who actually knows what they're talking about, knows that communism fell before Stalin because it doesn't work. Don't confuse the absence of freedom and despicable human rights' violations with communism.

  • @RapidCityJM Let me put it to you this way, because I know you're not going to understand: Communism is a govn't controlled economy, a bureaucrat sets the price of bread instead of the market deciding how much it costs. Problem is inorder to do that correctly the bureaucrat needs to predict what people are going to want to buy next year. Nobody can do that correctly 100% of the time.

  • @RapidCityJM Under communism, you would go to your job, earn money, buy things, and pay the price that the govn't decided you would pay for those things. Anybody see the problem with this? The system almost begs to be abused by the govn't, and if the govn't decides what you buy, because they control how much things are, how long before they're deciding other things for you?

  • @RapidCityJM oh, sorry, I didn't realize that. I knew China was communist but is no longer that way. Sorry about the confusion. I implore your forgiveness.

  • I was the only one in my class who was astounded and shocked at the end of the movie. None of them got the moral here.

  • Napoleon must have risen the same way as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zehdong.

    Napoleon= Hitler and Stalin

    Dogs= SS and KGB

    Squealer= Herr Geobbels

    Chickens= Jews

  • This movie is a tale of Russia's rise and fall in communism, along with the horrors.

    You have most of it correct except the chickens and Squealer. The chickens weren't anything big in particular, they were just animals. Jews could be more closely related to Snowball, who is treated as a scapegoat.

    Squealer was simply propaganda in general

    Also, the farms represented Germany and England, (Hitler and Churchhill)

  • Wasn't chickens meant to be the Kulaks and Snowball Trotsky?

  • Actually:

    Napoleon=Stalin only

    Dogs=Secret Police

    Squealer =propaganda in general

    All animals including the chickens=those who followed and suffered from communist(animalism)

  • Squealer actually represents the newspaper Pravda, a Russian newspaper that printed only good news about Stalin and the Party during the time of the Soviet Union.

  • I'm fairly sure Orwell was a passionate Liberal who was intensely opposed to any form of communism. Not a Trotskyist I'm afraid Lisbon1906.

  • @TheBustoe i love liberalism!!!

  • he publicly admitted that he believed in socialism, he even participated in the Spanish civil war at the side of the socialists.

    he was anti Stalin way of socialism though.

  • well more a Libertarian Socialist, he sort of flerted with Trotskyism, I think there are elements of Trotskyism in Animal Farm. While Goldstein in 1984, is almost certainly based on Trosky. Orwell also did flert with anarcho-syndycalism too.

    He was certainly though opposed to Stailinism

  • Actually I'm afraid you're only half right. Orwell was a self-confessed socialist. During the Great Terror he took the side of Trotsky against Stalin, as many socialists in Europe did. You're right in that he was a liberal and he believed in democracy, but he was not opposed to socialism or communism. At the time he just feverishly opposed Stalin. If you can try and get a copy of his personal essays, they give a huge insight to the man himself.

  • i hate it when you can hear them chanting "Four legs good, two legs BETTER"

    Great film, and brilliant book!

  • scary

  • Can someone pm me the lyrics to this song and the song Squealer sings (Glorious Leader Napoleon)?

  • Comment removed

  • A very good book/movie. It can teach you a lot about communism and what happens when governments attempt to create "Equality." Just keep your eyes open and don't let any of these steps happen in America. Some Of them have already happened, just don't let it get to a point of no return.

    Power Corrupts, Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.

  • Actually the author was a communist himself, a Trotskyist to be more precise.

    if you know of the divergences between Trotsky and Stalin you will get the message of book/movie

  • A socialist at the end, not so much Communist. He gave names of suspected Communist sympathizers to the Yard before he died.

  • @Lisbon1906 yup

  • @Lisbon1906 im afraid you're wrong. orwell was a socialist but did have reservations about the successful outcome of any revolution. he remained uncertain about whether revolution was bound to end the same way that the one in animal farm had done - betrayed by its leaders. sorry mate ;)

  • @Lisbon1906 Orwell was NOT a communist! You should read 1984; that is a stark warning against communism and what happens to every revolution: There are always people ready to hijack the revolution and use it to its own ends. But the idea of communism as put forth by Marx has never been fully implemented anywhere

  • @neil73

    Yep he was a communist,

    he even was a member of Workers' Party of Marxist Unification from Spain.

    and yep communism hasn't been achieved yet, and the road towards it is socialism.

  • @neil73 Actually, 1984 was a warning against totalitarianism in general. You need to read Homage to Catalonia, also by Orwell, which tells of his service with a communist militia in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell's socialist beliefs are a well-known fact, and Animal Farm's message was against Stalin, not Marx.

  • @neil73 Orwell WAS a communist. But it does not mean he agreed with most of their leaders. Nineteen Eighty-Four also has its own message for today, and until you are just copying what you have heard in media and do not have own thoughts and let you brain washed, there is no difference between you and people in Nineteen Eighty-Four. That novel has a very strong topical message for today, for our lives. Just think about it...

  • @17Ararat lol!

  • @Lisbon1906 Communism is bad. But Stalin made it MUCH worse.

  • @Lisbon1906 Haha no, Orwell was not a Communist of any kind he was a Democratic Socialist, he was actually very critical of Trotsky throughout his life.

  • @CommissarRed

    the guy joined the POUM Partido Operário de Unificação Marxista from Spain, he wrote to Cyril Connolly from Barcelona on 8 June 1937: "I have seen wonderful things and at last really believe in Socialism, which I never did before" and the fact that he fancied the anarcho-syndicalist communities.

    he opposed Stalin and was a communist

  • @Lisbon1906 Sigh, he joined the P.O.U.M because the Independent Labour Party (not communist) sent recruits to the P.O.Um.M and the CPGB that recruited for the Pro- USSR Spanish Communist party turned him away. He joined to fight Fascism that was all. He also spoke favourably of the Anarchist CNT Union while in Barcelona. He was no Communist he believed in Socialism thats it. he was critical of both Lenin and Trotsky but most of all of Stalin.

  • @Lisbon1906 george orwell is a communist :)? sweet, I thought he always bashed communism which is stalinism in disguise ;(

    but since i learned that it is so good to know :D

  • @HeoCon811 He wasn't a Communist. In Why I Write he stated that "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it". It was highly critical of all the Communist leaders for there autocratic tendencies.

  • @Lisbon1906 Lisbon is very correct. Actually Stalinism and Trotskyism are as different as a black night and a bright day. Nowadays, most democratic socialists (points to self) maintain that Orwell wasn't a communist, since his socialist tendencies were benevolent and from the heart (which he proves in his writings incl. this one).

  • @culveyhouse

    exactly they are different however trotskysm is also communist movement, but an alternative one.

    communism is benevolent. to me what what i read about communism is equivalent of saying in 1789 that the Republic is a evil form of government and the head cutting French revolution is the prove of that.

    communism is a society without classes, without poverty, without government and socialism is the way to achieve it.

  • @Lisbon1906 As far as I heard he was more like a smal s socialist.

  • @Lisbon1906

    Dude, the Author of the story is George Orwell he is British!

    and has nothing to do with Comunism and Trotsky!

    Trotsky by the way was banished and killed by stalin just like "Snowball" in the movie

    you need to check your information

  • @jaguar4u2

    lmao so what if he is british? he fought on the side of the socialists in Spain and was member of a marxist party.

    being a communist or a socialist doesnt mean u are a stalinist the same way there are many forms of republics or monarchies there also are many forms of socialism

    you need to read

  • @Lisbon1906

    Trotsky, Lenin and Marx had the same ideals. Orwell was a Marx/Lenin/Trotskyist.

    All three leaders belived in a semi authoritian/ totaltarian state... temporarily. Stalin just never gave up his power. that is where communism took a nose dive

  • @Ringlord3434 Another Trotskyist/Leninist saying "No, only Stalin was bad!" Bullshit. Trotsky and Lenin also murdered millions and raped their country thoroughly.

  • @FFulmenTheFinnish I know this.

    did u know that Trotsky wrote a doccument called "Stalin is Too Rude", and "Stalin's Falsification of History", Both of which bash Stalin and his ideals, that he is disloyal to the Bolshevik Revolution. Trotsky/ Lenin were following closely to Marx. In the Comm. Manifesto, Marx said there HAD to be a period of government oppresssion to sabalize the society before the peopel took over. Stalin never gave it up. Would Trotsky have done so? we dont know

  • @Ringlord3434 Pah, propaganda. Communism said that there needs to be a "dictatorship of the proletariat". The difference between Stalin and Lenin/Trotsky was that the former was a paranoid self-centered powermonger, but he ended up following Lenin's ideals nonetheless by strengthening Communism first in the USSR and then spreading it to other countries by invasion. The goal was a global USSR, just like Trotsky imagined.
