In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Napoleon, the leader of the farm, and Squealer, Napoleon’s most loyal follower, both contributed to the loss of freedom and equality in the farm because Napoleon constantly changes the Principles of Animalism in the pigs’ favor and makes many questionable statements and decisions as leader. Then, anytime Napoleon does make a decision, Squealer corrupts the other animals’ minds, telling them that Napoleon means well for the farm and to do his bidding no matter what happens.

The Principle of Animalism, which states all animals are equal, has literally been changed to “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS,” (Orwell,52).

The very first and second Principles of Animalism “1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy,” and, “2.Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend” (Orwell,9) have been abolished. With Squealer walking around on two legs, carrying a whip that he uses on the sheep or any other animal that disrespects the pigs’ authority to prove that he is over them, and Napoleon strutting majestically on his two legs, while at the same time, being guarding by nine of his huge, vicious dogs, the animals finally realize they made a grave mistake.
The entire point of Animal Farm and the animals’ fight against humanity was to topple Mr.Jones and the other human leaders. But now, the animals have let themselves be ruled by something much worse: their own brethren! Napoleon and Squealer are the masterminds behind the Revolution, but at the same time, Napoleon , along with his rusty partner in crime Squealer, has successfully led a more secret, shady, injustice, and power-hungry revolution: The Pigs Are Humans
