Often times in a communist society, a leader’s use of language can lead to abuse of power. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the farm leaders, the pigs, use unknown language, invoke scare tactics, and create specific laws, thereby enabling them to control other animals, to suit their greedy desires, and to perform actions outside their realm of power. Because of the pigs’ use of broad language, implementation of scare tactics, and creation and manipulation of laws, they are able to get away with avoiding laws and convincing other animals into believing untrue stories and lies that are beneficial to the pigs.

The stories display the characteristics of a tyrannical governments through its underlying themes.

With his hopes to maintain his status and position, he attempts to turn the population against V using lies, although this does not succeed. This method does succeed in Animal Farm, and the animals believe all the fake media that is posed to them through Napoleon and Squealer. Once the people believe all that is fed to them, governments use this as an opportunity to corrupt the ideals

History always repeats itself. From world wars to economic slumps and even genocides, there is always evil and corruption present where the goal is to obtain power. In order to claim power, evil must oppress the innocent, even if the innocent attempts to break loose, evil continues to push down.

With great power comes with great responsible. But, is great power too much for one to handle? They’re three forms of power, which are military, propaganda, and silencing the opposition.
