animalism
The quasi-Marxist socialist philosophy advocated by Napoleon and Snowball in George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is called Animalism. This ideology promotes equality among animals and the overthrow of human oppression. However, it becomes corrupted as the pigs take control and betray the original principles of Animalism.
animalism
An animalist is a believer in animalism, the belief in the dominance of man's animal nature of behaviour.
In the novel "Animal Farm," education played a pivotal role in shaping the ideology of Animalism. The pigs, particularly Snowball and Napoleon, took it upon themselves to educate the other animals about the principles of Animalism. This allowed the pigs to establish themselves as the intellectual elite, creating a power dynamic that enabled them to manipulate and control the other animals. Through education, the pigs were able to instill their ideologies and beliefs in the other animals, solidifying their authority over the farm.
Animalism celebrated equality between all animals. This loosely corresponds with Marx's vision of the collapse of class distinction between the owner of capital and the proletariat. With animalism, animals will no longer work for humans, and all animals will be equal. With communism, workers will no longer wor for capitalists, and all workers will be equal. And in both cases, the workers will own the means and the products of production with the state/ farm providing for them in old age or sickness.
In the novel "Animal Farm," Orwell has the character Napoleon explain the principles of animalism to the animals on the farm. He shortens the philosophy to the idea of "four legs good, two legs bad."
Animalism in George Orwell's "Animal Farm" serves as an allegory for communism, specifically the ideology of Marxist socialism. It critiques the corrupting influence of power and the failure of utopian ideals in the face of human nature. The animals' rebellion and subsequent transformation is a commentary on the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism.
