I am reading the book Animal Farm in class and answer "Understandment Questions". There is one that I just can't figure out. If anyone could please help me with this I would be grateful. Here is the question:
In a satire, the author highlights a failure of society or of human nature. What institution does George Orwell satirize in Animal Farm? How does Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's "tactics" contribute to the satire?
(Squealer mentions "tactics" at the very last page in chapter V)
Thank for the help!

Orwell is satirering the Russian government during the Russian Revolution. Napoleans, who reprosents Stalin, says " All animals are equal, some animals are just more equal that others."
Squealers exlanation just gives the satire more depth because Squealer is defending Napoelan and what he did to Snowball's plans. Which must have reflected on some of the people during the Russian Revolution. They defended the government even though there ideas where way out there and weren't good for the people of Russian or the farm.

I know Animal Farm is a satire on Communism, but I haven't read it recently, so I can't help you explain why.
