- The animals trust the pigs lies rather than the obvious truth because they still believe blindly that four legs good two legs bad
- Under Stalin's catastrophic 5 year plan, the USSR suffered famine that killed millions. Stalin covered it up.
- By tricking the animals into thinking animalism and animal farm are the same, the pigs can kill or punish anyone who disagrees with their orders and claim they are defending animalism. It's slavery disguised as freedom.
- The pigs rewrites the Animalism and all of animal farm history. If they can get the animals to fear snowball, they can use snowball to justify their rule, as they once used Jones.
- Boxer believes so much in animalism that he believes Napoleon's statement about what happened even over his own memories. But just the fact that he voices his own memories makes squealer sees him as a threat.
- Napoleon sees Boxer as a threat as he remembers the past correctly and boxer is so stupid he cannot comprehend that napoleon has just attacked him.
- After the purge, Napoleon and the pigs officially kills the revolution by banning Beast of England. As the new masters of the farm, the pigs fear the ideas in that Utopian and idealistic song would cause the animals to see that they are corrupted and start a revolution. They replace it with a propaganda song that defines the state as more important than the individual.
