Answer: It shows similarities with Stalin's Great Purge and reveals how dictators use fear to control people.

The book Animal Farm is a satire that criticizes the way communism was established in the Soviet Union. One of the most famous characteristics of this regime is the fact that dictators such as Stalin often used fear in order to control the people. One of the actions that caused the most fear was the questioning that the government often carried out, as this was often used as an excuse to send people to labor camps or to murder them. This is what is known as the "Great Purge." This mechanism is represented in the book by Napoleon's questioning of the pigs.
