    The pig in charge, Napoleon, used propaganda very often. Napoleon would often "steal" from the other animals. He would reply to the other animals, through a pig named Squealer, with persuasive speeches. An example from the book is when the pigs took the apples and the milk, Napoleon, and Snowball at the time, had Squealer tell the other animals that the milk and apples are vital for the pigs and if they don't get them then Jones will come back. Since no one wanted Jones to come back they were okay with it.…

    The pigs achieved control by reinforcing the idea that they were the only animals who could properly lead the farm, separating themselves as the ´brains’. This then leads the pigs, and even the other animals, into believing that they are above others. For example, the pigs would make every decision while the others did the heavy lifting as Illustrated in the quote “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership”. This shows how the pigs made the farm animals believe that it was only natural for the pigs to make all the decisions.…

    Revolution does not always bring change. The revolution on Manor Farm changed only one thing: who had the absolute power. The ideals that spurred the revolution in the first place had been lost, and rather than changing the way life had been prior to the revolution, the animals were suppressed and taken advantage of by the pigs, who were the new leaders that had emerged after the exile of Jones. However, even with Jones gone, life did not change on the farm for the majority of the animals, because those few animals in power had been corrupted by the absolute, untamed power.…

    The pigs maintain control through power and fear, This makes the other animals unconfident to the point until they have no will to fight back or fight for their rights. When they were under the control of farmer jones they were underfed and slaughtered when they ran out of use or were fat enough to sell for meat, the only thing that was stopping them from revolting was that mr jones punished the animals that misbehaved. But with the pigs in charge the animals will be killed for revolting.…

    One of the ways they did this was with saying things like "Jones will come back". None of the animals on the farm ever liked Mr. Jones, so when they were convincing the animals that something was right and this way is the best way, they would use "surely, you don't want Jones to come back". The animal government also switched the Seven Commandments around, and then used propaganda to convince the animals that it was fine, with an element of fear. Since the pigs were the head of the farm and they made all the decisions, they "deserved" to have the extra milk and apples and sleep in beds. Without all those things, they would not be able to make the best decisions for the farm and the other animals, and the farm would fall apart.…

    His death brought upon the rise of the pigs because they were the most cleaver animals on the farm. After rebelling, the pigs made laws that needed to be followed. “Beasts of England” would have to be sung every day, and on the anniversary of “Battle at the Cowshed” one shot would be fired from Mr. Jones’ gun. Later in the story, Napoleon and Squealer start to take advantage of some of the animals. The intellectually inferior were easy to gain as followers, like Boxer and the sheep. Squealer would use propaganda and tell the animals lies so that they would not be suspicious of anything.…

Napoleon trained the dogs (who represented the military/police) to be his guards. The pigs became more and more like royalty, while other animals had their work increased and their rations reduced. During these changes, Napoleon used Squealer (who represents the Russian media) to deceive the animals into believing all these changes were necessary to make Animal Farm…
