The Politics of George Orwell as Seen in his Novels “Animal Farm”
Animal Farm by George Orwell is one of novels which have the socialist-realist’s genre. This novel tells about the politic, government, and society at one moment. It reflects Uni-Soviet and Russian society and critics the Uni-Soviet and Russian communism. In the Russian, the leader and the governments do a lot of mistaken, they just create a lot of policies but it never becomes a reality.
In this novel, the leader is elected by all of people from every class in the election. There are two candidates in the election, the first candidate comes from an intellectual class and the last candidate comes from the bourgeois class, he is Napoleon. He has a spokesman, he is Squealer. At the beginning, the scheme is seen by the campaign. He does many ways to invite anyone to choose him in the election. The spokesman speaks well in front of the society. Finally, the spokesman can invite many voters to choose his boss, Napoleon and the final result of the election, Napoleon becomes a winner. I can conclude that is not over yet because the leader is so cruel and selfish. He just thinks himself and the high class in his authority’s area. It is a characteristic of dictator and authoritarian leader. As far as I know, it reflects to the leader of Russian, Napoleon Bonaparte.
At this moment, there are two society classes such as bourgeois class and proletarian class. That class has a differences like proletarian class just have a little bit authority and even it is nothing. On the contrary, bourgeois class has so many authorities like they can do anything, for example: in the difficult situation, they can move and stay in another country and they get happiness there. I think it is happened because bourgeois class has so much money and they can pay the government for it. However, the bourgeois class is so really lucky because they can do anything with their money there.
There are many policies in the Russian society such as windmill. The windmill determines five years policy of the Russian government. Unfortunately, it never been happened, it means the policy is only the way to increase society’s belief. In the proletarian class, there is a laborer class when this class is only working class and they just can work and obey all of the government’s rules. The laborers looks like slave, work in along time without rest and appropriate wages. On the factual, the laborers are not cared by the government although they work in along time and it is only for the government. It provides that Russian government has a dictator leader.
Beside it, the mass media and Russian government share the wrong information of this country to another country. They share that country has a progressive technology and anything else. All of that is falsehood. Nothing progress there and it is only for a politic diplomacy of this country. Sometimes when the other country wants to check the truthfully information, that government can permit it because they are afraid if the truthfully reality is known by each countries and it will be so ashamed.
Not only windmill as a policy but also 7 commandments for the society. At the beginning it is a good policy for everyone in the society. But after Napoleon becomes a leader, all of policies in his last campaign are forgotten especially for the bourgeois class. The bourgeois class forgets all of the policies. They think the policy is a rule which must not be obeyed. I believe it is happened because the bourgeois class has a good relationship with the leader, it is called nepotism. We know that Napoleon comes from the bourgeois class too. So it shows that Napoleon does it because he cares to his class, bourgeois.
Based on my statement, the proletarian class just can obey this policy without complain or anything. They look like a bird with keep nodding to the government and the leader. Actually, there is someone knows about that problem but he does not want to say that is a falsehood. He just keeps silent and thinks it is no problem because it does not appear a loss for him. I think he wants to speak this problem up but he is afraid to the leader because he has many executioners and they are already every time to kill everyone who does not wants to obey all of rules and policies in this country.
