What to you think Orwel ment with "Animal farm"?

well i think, Orwell wanted to protest against The Communist under Stalin, He used the term animal farm as a disguise, he might intend to offend the communist, but it is also a protection, so if someone accused him of offending the communist, he can avoid it by saying that his novel is all about animal, thus the term animal farm It may also refer to the antagonist Napoleon, who from the start tries to be a dictator and "enslave" the animals, thus His comrade (the animals) are viewed as animals (in the book, we view the animals as a representation corresponding to several Russian figures. It is also ironic because in the end, they are all still animals, and napoleon becomes more like human in the end, ruling, greedy, and power-hungry

i think he must have had only one thing in mind when he wrote this book - political satire against russians, and nothing else apparently.

I think that he wrote it as an interesting parable about history that had already happened and the results of the same--but I think he didn't just write it as history but as something for the future. Otherwords, he was telling people not to hide their heads in the sand and let a government that leaves you-the-people powerless ooze its way into your lives. It shows the subtle way that this can happen. In two short words: Be vigilant!

Well, I think first of all Animal Farm was a microcosm of the Russian evolution. Almost every person, and event in the book is a parallel to something in the or after the Russian Revolution. I think it was a history of the revolution. Also, it was a warning to the western world to be cautious of Communism. At a time when Communism and the USSR were becoming more accepted in the west, Orwell wanted to warn people of the faults of communism and specifically Russia. I think this is also a general history of all revolutions. All revolutions start out as a good thing, and eventually become what they once escaped from, at least according to Orwell.
