Squealer claimed that Napoleon only had to guard his kinfolk by utilising reversing his determination related to the windmill, and that any between the animals could have executed the comparable element in his place. The pigs had stolen food from a neighboring farm. The pigs claimed that the neighboring farm substitute into stealing from them The probability substitute into expulsion from the farm.

No, the pigs aren't Nazis; the pigs represent big players during the Stalin era in Communist Russia. The first old pig, Old Major, who dies, represents Lenin... The pig Snowball, who gets chased out of the farm, represents Trotsky (who was forced to leave Russia). And the pig who stays on to create a dictatorship (of socialist totalitarianism), Napoleon, represents Stalin.

The pigs are Nazi's, It's been many years since I've seen this, so sorry, I don't remember their names...
