Animal Farm: Understanding BLM and Antifa

'What do BLM and Antifa want? They wish to dismantle present society and assume totalitarian control of the new society.' Exactly! This is a revolution!

From Everyday For Life Canada

Do you want to understand where politicians who sympathize with BLM and Antifa will take society if elected? Then, go back to the novel you may have studied, if it wasn't deleted from the high school literature curriculum in your school, Animal Farm. The clear answer is there. In the allegorical novel or beast fable, Orwell reveals the dangers of embracing Marxist socialism. It's a horrible prospect for everyone.

The Animal Farm story is a simple one. The animals on Manor Farm rebel against the owner and farmer Mr. Jones. The animal revolution is to bring about equality, freedom and happiness among the animals. However, the freedom the animals hoped for quickly evaporate as the pigs led by Napoleon gradually and deceptively reduce Manor Farm to a worse state than it was under human control. The tragedy is that the abuse and manipulation of the animals comes from the pigs, not human beings. The enemy is within. The leader pig named Napoleon turns the animal society into a dictatorship. The animals are eventually forced to call the leader, Comrade Napoleon.

To understand the calamitous change in "Animal Farm" as it goes from being run by Mr Jones to a revolution that establishes an animal government and eventually to the dictatorship of Napoleon, we just need to look at the changes to the anthem.

At the beginning to ignite the revolution, the animals together sing, "Beasts of England." The words say it all: equality, freedom and happiness. It's about celebrating "the Golden future time." The anthem captures the ideology of Animalism which is actually the principles of Marxism. What Napoleon does in the novel can be compared to what Stalin did to the Soviet Union. Here are the words:

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the Golden future time.

Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.

Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.

Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day.

Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its waters be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that sets us free.

For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom's sake.

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well, and spread my tidings
Of the Golden future time.

But "the day that sets us free" doesn't last long. Once the revolution is over and Mr. Jones is ousted, the pigs begin to break each on the seven commandments the animals has established to govern themselves. Napoleon is interested in having total power and control over the other animals. So, the animals are lied to and manipulated into believing that the original anthem is no longer needed and appropriate. A new loyalty song, both to "Animal Farm" and Napoleon, is written and sung every Sunday. These are the first two lines:

Animal Farm, Animal Farm,
Never through me shall thou come to harm!

However, even that is not enough for power hungry and ruthless Napoleon. He has a new poem composed to praise and glorify himself. At this point in the story, the idea of equality, freedom and happiness are long forgotten as Napoleon assumes total control of the Farm. The virtue signalling poem is inscribed on one wall of the big barn with a portrait of Napoleon on top. Here are the words to the new anthem:

Friend of the fatherless!
Fountain of happiness!
Lord of the swill-bucket!
Oh, how my soul is on
Fire when I gaze at thy
Calm and commanding eye,
Like the sun in the sky,
Comrade Napoleon!

Thou art the giver of
All that thy creatures love,
Full belly twice a day, clean straw to roll upon;
Every beast great or small
Sleeps at peace in his stall,
Thou watchest over all,
Comrade Napoleon!

Had I a sucking-pig,
Ere he had grown as big
Even as a pint bottle or a rolling-pin,
He should have learned to be
Faithful and true to thee,
Yes, his first squeak should be
"Comrade Napoleon!"

What do BLM and Antifa want? They wish to dismantle present society and assume totalitarian control of the new society. In their own words: "Our fight for liberty, justice, and freedom continues. Together, we can — and will — transform. This is the revolution. Change is coming." Sounds familiar? The three versions of the animal anthem, to song and then poem, tell a very different story. BLM and Antifa is the failed ideology used to motivate the animals to revolt to create a just and equitable society. However, the results were catastrophic. The revolution turned out to be nightmare for the animals. The euphoria of an animal government was soon abused by the pigs and turned into a dictatorship. The worst animals seized control. Animal Farm the novel is a depiction of satirical horror that should never see the reality of day. For the paradise the animals were promised during the revolution becomes hell on earth. That's the lesson for us today. And why the inviting lies of BLM and Antifa must be rejected. We must say no to this revolutionary and dangerous mob.
