    Do you find this book insulting to josef stalin and the government of the soviet union. Do agree with Orwell or not!

    Liked it, good point on how Communism works but leads to dictatorship and totalitarianism easilly.
    Kinda a mis-interpetation of Stalin though. For instance, Napoleon is depicted as a cowards who uses politics to solve all problems, but Stalin was one of the most upfrontly militeristic people ever, and was ready to fight for decades if he had to. Unlike just about everyone elses' leaders.

    I think it was spot on, Orwell emphasised Stalin's tyranny down to a T.

    REBELLION! Wait..there is no evidence that the Beasts of England ever existed, Maybe it was just a plot by snowball and his minions to hypnotize us! Napoleon is always right!

    Good, yes. It was all Snowballs fault. Remember, "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better!"
