What message is the book, ANIMAL FARM, trying to tell readers?

Answer 1

"Animal Farm" is about the inherently selfish nature of politics. Though the humans were not kind rulers, they were clearly there for their own benefit and not that of the collective (the animals). However, the pigs promise to work for the benefit of the collective. Orwell examines the deceitful nature of any political system that claims to exist for the benefit of those not in power, especially when power becomes absolute.

Emma Larkin provides an interesting answer to your question in "Finding George Orwell in Burma". She suggests that, although "Animal Farm" is most obviously a critique of the Soviet Union, it can also be used to critique Ne Win's ideas of socialism in Burma.
