Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel about farm animals taking their farm back from the farmer who owns them. After a while of having core tenets, their first and most important rule “All animals are equal” suddenly gets appended with “…But some are more equal than others.” After this, the events are heavily based off of the rise of Communism*, and more specifically Leninism throughout the newly formed Soviet Union.
*Not to say that the entire book isn’t an allegory for the rise of Communism but that’s the way writing this brief summary sounded well in my head.
