animalismo (animalism)

Animalism, in the context of George Orwell’s "Animal Farm," refers to the ideology advocating for the equality and rights of animals against human oppression. It promotes the idea that all animals are equal and should work together to overthrow their human rulers. This philosophy emphasizes unity, freedom from exploitation, and self-governance among animals. However, in the story, Animalism is manipulated by the pigs, leading to a hierarchy that mirrors the oppression they sought to escape. Thus, Animalism serves as a critique of power dynamics and the potential for revolutionary ideals to be corrupted.
