Some animals are more equal

If it is said that the more sober people are, the more painful it is, then George Orwell is destined to suffer in life.

As a believer of socialism, he went to the battlefield for his ideals, was injured, lived in poverty, and was persecuted all his life. After his death, the works he left behind became "tools for attacking socialist countries" in the West, and became taboo in the East.

I wonder if he brought himself in when he wrote Animal Farm, and what animal would he write about himself? I don't know if it's the horse who worked hard all his life and was squeezed out of his surplus value.

    I'm out of control for a movie with a deep meaning. I only see one side singing and the other side appearing, like a revolving light; the inferiority of human beings will never change. It seems that communism must kill the inferiority first. Isn't that killing humanity? mess.

    1. The cartoon is based on Orville's 1945 Animal Farm. Orville successfully predicted the future of the red camp headed by the Soviet Union with the help of French Napoleon, because he thoroughly studied totalitarianism. 2. Also in 1945, Huang Yanpei asked Mao how to break out of the historical cyclical law of "prosperity is flourishing, and death is also sudden", and Mao's answer was "democracy". The way is found, but no one wants to go. 3. Don't have illusions about human nature. Power must be restrained, and there must be a restraining mechanism. Otherwise, it will be false. Power will expand the evil of human nature to the extreme!
