Animal Farming

It is as if animals had been herded into a highly artificial box. Let us imagine a building with faulty electricity, massive leaking, poor sewerage, no windows, not enough space.

This is the condition of the contemporary proletariat.

Then, one by one, the animals succumb to various “accidents” within this unnatural environ.

Some get sick with cholera through the polluted drinking water. Others are electrocuted. Still more start to develop various symptoms of decline because of a lack of exercise, and due to the poor quality of the light.

Each of them, however, come to believe that their resulting condition is due to individual “choices” they have made, entirely separately.
