Sound familliar?
Government is the only real enemy we have. Remove Government from the scene and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever. Government is the only creature that consumes without producing. it does not give milk, it does not lay eggs, it is too weak to pull the plough, it cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet it is lord of all the peoples. it sets them to work, it gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest it keeps for itself.
Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by government. Remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Government and the people have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Government serves the interests of no creature except itself. And among we the people let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All of government is the enemy. All people are comrades.
Scary, isn't it?

C'mon guys! Great work here!
All animals are created equal.
Corruption and greed are the downfall of the revolution.
As I recall, it was written as a pro socialist piece and an indictment of Stalinistic purges and corruption of the will of the people... but I've drunk a lot of beer since I read it.
Some are more equal than others.
I had some great high school English teachers
Animal Farm was one of the best the forced us to read and taught us values through literature.
