Strong Governments In George Orwell's Animal Farm

“It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.” - Andrew Jackson The animals in Animal Farm by George Orwell face a series of leader, government, and society problems throughout the book. They face the revolution against the humans ruling over them, the leadership change from Snowball and Napoleon to just Napoleon, and the unjust changes that he made to the farm. Strong, long lasting governments, when it comes down to it, is based on the leader and how they respond to distressed situations and how they react when complications occur.

Strong governments communicate with the people and are strong enough themselves to handle the stress and decisions that they are given.

Strong governments let the people have a voice. Strong governments do not limit the people and influence to change the world for the better. Sometimes strong governments need a bad leader in order to become inspired. All governments will have conflicts with the people and with their allies and enemies but it is how they solve the problem is what makes them strong. “Some of the pigs themselves, however, were more articulate… which went on for nearly a quarter of an hour and put an end to any chance of discussion” (Orwell 24). The growls from the dogs to the crowd of animals trying to express their opinion to their leader shows weakness. Oppressing their voice is not what makes a strong government or society.

Not while I am speaking” then continued to the rest of his speech. After he finished what he was saying he went back to the question that the reported stated and responded with “The answer to your question sir - the next time I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question - is that this is the right thing to do for the American people”. That is

Correct? Someone who tells people what’s happening instead of obtaining the opinion from the people and brainwashes them with slogans is not a good leader. Especially if they gain power by force. That is a dictatorship and that doesn’t last very long; neither does fascism. In Animal farm it states “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” (Orwell 57) With strong governments, they should not need to say these things because they are not true. All animals are equal no matter who they are. None should be more equal than others and none should be treated any differently because they are pigs. President Trump’s jaw-dropping defense of Vladimir Putin is an article written by news.com.au talking about how fast and defensive he went when talking about Putin. While writing this article, the author interview Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse. “The US affirms freedom of speech. Putin is no friend of freedom of speech. Putin is an enemy of freedom of religion. The US celebrates freedom of religion. Putin is an enemy of the free press. The US celebrates free press. Putin is an enemy of political dissent. The US celebrates political dissent and the right for people to argue, free from violence, about places where our ideas are in conflict”. He also stated, “Putin is a mess. He’s committed all sorts of murderous thuggery, and I am opposed to the way Putin conducts
