Animalism
In the novel, Animal Farm, George Orwell demonstrates a certain system that is used during the revolution of the animals. Old Major, one of the characters, developed 7 commandments that were made for all the animals to follow and believe. Originally the 7 commandments stated,
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.

Communism
On the other hand, Communism, is not at all different from Animalism. The only difference is instead of people, it's animals! By creating, Animalism, Orwell educates us on the system Communism that was followed during the Russian Revolution. A structure that promotes equality, fairness, classless society, which is followed by a group of people who believe in an egalitarian system. Everyone is treated equally. This is called Communism. Leon Trotsky was a strong follower of Communism. (3) (Alejandra Aguilar, n.d)
Animalism And Communism
To summarize the similarity between Animalism and Communism, Animalism is when animals rebel against humans and will no longer work for them. All animals will be treated equally. Whereas, Communism is when low class workers will rebel against capitalist and will no longer work for them. All workers will be treated equally.
