7. Chapter 6 Analysis Government Oppression (not just in Russia)
Overworked working class
Government justified luxuries
Propaganda is used to cover up mistakes
Governments tend to blame others for their own deficiencies and wrong doings to keep their own standing
Ex: Communist Russia vs. Trotskyism
Ex: U.S.A. vs. Communism
By shifting the blame it is easy to manipulate
Orwell’s idea: Tyranny is Cyclical (reoccurring)
More Power = More Corrupt = Become what it was in 1st place
Pigs evolve into grotesque human beings-increased resemblance of humans
