Animal Farm is an
allegorical novella by
George Orwell published in England on 17 August 1945.
It was about Stalinism, but I would agrue the book was largely a critique of pretty much all forms of government that were created prior to the 21th Century. The basic flaws in them as I see it are twofold -
- An ability for pretty much any system of government to be manipulated by a concentrated few such that said system is reduced to supplying money, power and resources, from the collective society.
- In inability to for said system of government to then weather the impacts of point one on the collective society, or any other for that matter, rending it useless, ineffective and ultimately globally toxic.
Sigh - what the world needs is a actual system of living to balance designed to meet the needs of the global collective society at large.
