“Animal Farm was a satire of the Russian Communist Revolution..”
Yes, and we have seen how the “woke” generation now even goes after those who indoctrinated them, which is straight out of Animal Farm.
Mao captured that spirit in the his “Culutural Revolution”. I remember a scene in the movie The Last Emperor (the tale of the last emperor of China). As the conclusion of WWII was followed by the civil war in China and its end, the last emperor of China was captured by the Russians (when they entered Manchuria) and he was turned over to the victorious communists in China. He spent many years in a prison for political prisoners. Constant indoctrination and “reeducation” was the daily program he suffered through in addition to poor health. He as eventually considered “rehabilitated” and allowed to live as a civilian. One day - during the “Cultural Revolution” he was observing a march being conducted by the Red Guards. Within the march were some individuals the Red Gaurds had taken captive and were to be punished. As the march passed by the last emperor he noticed one man the Red Guards had taken captive. It was the man who had been his chief interrogator all those years he had been in prison.
In the permanent “revolution” each newly indoctrinated generation will see their own “teachers” as insufficiently educated on what is “right” and will politically devour them.
But right now, large numbers of the common folk in the U.S., particularly among the working class that has had less exposiure to academia, many things about today’s American Red Guards are being met with rejection. Their woke memes are not commanding many folks to follow them.
