Remember, George Orwell was a Socialist, but hated Communism.  The animals were represenative of his feeling toward governments.  Also, the other person who answered had a good point.  Do your own homework.  That's a great book

But it DOES have a moral! The moral is that Communism does not work. Communism seems like a great idea at first, but eventually natural heirarchies evolve and the government becomes autocratic.\n\nIn Animal Farm the pigs incite a revolution against the tyrannical Farmer Jones, but by the end of the book they themselves have become the tyrants - indistinguishable from humans.\n\nMost of the characters in the book represent real individuals or organisations from the Communist Revolution in Russia. \n\nFarmer Jones is Tsar Nicholas, Old Major is Marx, Snowball is Trotsky, Napoleon is Lenin or Stalin, Squealer presents the propanda machine, the horses are the people (Boxer representing the working class Proletariats and Molly representing the aristocratic Bourgoise), the raven represents the church, the dogs represent the Red Army, and so on.

First of all, Communism has never truly been achieved.  Communism is Karl Marx's idea on how to control the masses which he wrote about in his book "Communist Manifesto".  It involves everybody working for everybody, no religion, and an overall unified society.  Socialism is what was seen in the Former Soviet Union, in China now.  It involves ideas of everybody working for the whole, but is a very far cry from Communism.  To Compare to the United States: liberals and extreme leftists are socialists.

I agree completely.  The leftist liberal extremists have bought the medias propaganda regarding issues such as abortion.  These are the same communists who feel that, although equally a parent, the childrens father should have no say regarding the murder of his child.\n\nThese fascist bigots preach against sexism and bigotry, but practice sexism every day by preaching it is a 'womans choice' to murder the child.  Again the other parents opinion is not even considered.\n\nYour comparison to sex offenders is excellent.  These liberal extremists are so intolerant to the views of others that they will not even consider looking at another point of view or the facts regarding issues such as this.\n\nLiberalism is, in itself, a mental disorder.

I would argue that it wasn't.  But it certainly was more theoretical.  Marx version never had to be tested in the trenches of reality.  Whenever communism has been lived out (Leninism, Maoism, etc), it has always led to disaster: either mass poverty or mass violence, or a combination of both.  Marx' approach has never had to be tested, since one can always claim that it was the fault of lenin or Stalin or Mao or whoever that it didn't work.  The reality is that it never really works.

I am puzzled by that myself.  I use to dabble in Communism and went to a lot of meetings set by various parties after experiencing alot of racism against me most of my life for being white as well as being lower middle class I though Communism could end racism and poverty.  Communists have alot of hate in there hearts, they certainly have an "us vs them" mentality.  They would say race does not exist, but then say "blacks need to preserve there identity"  It seemed like the white communist were self hating and wished to god they were born another race.  There is one communist group in USA that says whites cannot be proletarian, no matter how poor or homeless they are, this is not racism?\n\nThey can be pretty violent, whenever there is a protest against racism or globalization, you see them out there attacking police and those who do not agree with them, as well as graffiti, smashing windows, setting things on fire, throwing garbage everywhere, smoking weed in public.  How many BNP people do you see doing that?

Constant government propaganda- it's the same reason we hate/fear terrorists now. Marxist communism had high military ambitions, and we were concerned that they might make a bid for world domination.

Looking down your list I really think you have lumped in far left and far right together.  Marxism is far left only.  No leader on that list instated any degree of marxist socialism, but instead devolved quickly into some sort of socialist dictatorship ("some pigs are more equal than others") or corporate/fascist regime.\n\nFor real examples of Marxist philosophy working nearly correctly, check out many American religious eclaves like the Amanas or the Israeli Kibbutz system.  I've lived in one, it's quite boring really but in a way it is very free.  Basically you have to figure out what to do with all your free time when every need is taken care of and you only work 4 hours a day.

Great website indeed.\n\nI believe that this is telling of the democrat nutjobs.\nhttp://www.zombietime.com/hall_of_shame/\n\nThis shows that many democrats are the enemy and there are many communists imbedded w/in the DNC.\n\nMcCarthy was correct.  He had a great nose at sniffing out the commies.  He was just ahead of his time.
