When I read it along with 1984 in high school, the teacher just kept comparing it to Nazi Germany. Which is funny because Orwell specifically even stated that the USSR was the direct inspiration.
Expecting an English major to not interject himself into the book over the author is like thinking a woman isn’t acting on narcissistic intuitions when she claims empathy.
That is insane. All the animals and humans in the book are direct analogies to the communist revolution. Stalin, Trotsky, the proletariat, the royal family etc.
even commie LARPers admit it and use it as part of their "not true communism" cope.
