Speech

 

 

My dear friends, recently I have been thinking a lot about everything…

 

About the new life in the farm… About the seven commandments… About the speech of Old Major… Our rebellion has allowed us to expel our enemies: the humans.

 

But are we really happy? Is this really the life we wanted to lead? I will tell you my friends: this system is all lies and hypocrisy. Of course, we are not mistreated anymore and exploited anymore but several inequalities are still remaining.

The seven commandments are all lies. They talk about animal equality, but I don’t see any equality on this farm. The pigs sleep in beds with sheets. They use the drawing-room as a recreation room where they are the only ones to have access. They do not follow the seven commandments while they are written by themselves. My friends, these pigs are manipulating us, we are in a dictatorship. Do you think this situation is normal? Do you think that’s what Old Major wanted?

 

Open your eyes my friends, the goal of this rebellion was to live in peace without humans but we have the impression that pigs have replaced them because they have the power and they behave like them. Moreover, the pigs also manipulate us because they use their intelligence to constitute another upper class. They would rather teach reading and writing to each other than to teach it from the whole farm to keep their intelligence to themselves. I repeat my friends, they are manipulators. They always want more power which leads them to act like our enemies, like the humans.

 

 For all these reasons, follow me my friends!  Let us rise up against the pigs. Together, we will build a true democracy and true equality between us.
