Why does Boxer adopt a new motto?

(I believe old motto=I will try harder; new motto=Napoleon is always right. If I'm wrong, disregard, haha)
Animal Farm is in many ways a satire of how communism was practiced in the USSR, with Napoleon roughly equivalent to Stalin (Snowball=Trotsky). Boxer is the average person, first dedicated to the cause, and then to the man in charge. The change in motto reflects the change from the original goals of the Bolshevik revolution under Lenin (Old Major, though some claim he's supposed to represent Karl Marx)--freedom and equality--to the USSR under Stalin: Total control by Stalin.
