Napoleon Vs Snowball

Napoleon or Snowball

Would someone want a demanding dictator who misuses power and pretends to be doing all the work or a ruler who believes in the happiness of his citizens and would always put the farm first and try to achieve everyone's needs? Napoleon is the arduous dictator who puts himself before anyone else and uses all of his power for his own needs while Snowball is the leader who puts the farm before anything and leads the animals into making everyone successful and treated equally. In Animal Farm by George Orwell, Napoleon and Snowball two powerful leaders are in a battle for power and leadership of the farm. However, having a powerful and commanding leader is vital it is not respectable to have a demanding selfish ruler who doesn't care about anything other than himself.

With Napoleon a ruler animal farm had a totalitarian-based system where he rules everything in the farm and makes all decisions for everyone. For example Napoleon a communist based ruler uses the same tactics as a Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to have control over the entire farm. One major scheme Napoleon uses is Propaganda to responsibility on Snowball or the other animals. Although Napoleon does not use this method directly he uses the other animals to do the job. For example while Snowball was promoting his ideas about the windmill Napoleon had the sheep repeat "Four legs good two legs bad" to distract the other animals. This tactic had also been used by Stalin to keep his society under control. Napoleon used the dogs his secret force to exile Snowball the recent leader, which was also used by Stalin to exile Leon Trotsky. Although a totalitarian-based society is mostly useful it is very selfish and defeats the whole purpose of having a fair government.
