The idea of “communism” is communal ownership of ALL things… All members of a society are equal and should share in the benefits… However, only members of the Communist Party enjoy many of the benefits of the Russian Revolution… Many workers and peasants still have little say in their future… “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” In 1924, the “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” (U.S.S.R.) is formed by Lenin… In the U.S.S.R., new changes are made: All parties are outlawed except the Communist Party New government bureaucracies are created Censorship to make sure only communist ideas are spread Actively spreading communist principles in Europe / America Death of Lenin In 1924, Vladimir Lenin dies… Despite the hopes of Trotsky taking over as Lenin wished, a power vacuum opens up in the Communist Party for control… The party splits as members of the Communist Party fight for control of the party AND the masses of Russian people… Joseph Stalin vs. Leon Trotsky Joseph Stalin One of the original “Bolsheviks” with Lenin… A very effective organizer of the people and masses… Very quiet and calculating and ruthless… Expert at neutralizing his opponents strengths or his own weaknesses… Privately, Lenin never doubted his devotion but did question whether or not he could lead the Communist Party effectively Leon Trotsky Best known “Bolshevik” after Lenin worldwide… Brilliant political mind… Brilliant speaker and organizer… Brilliant theorist, enjoyed debating his ideas although he could be too aggressive… Negative impact was that he was a former “Menshevik” and argued with Lenin on many issues… Privately, Lenin thought Trotsky was the most suited to lead the Communist Party… Stalin Makes His Move Stalin begins to organize the party in both the rural farmlands and in the cities… He builds a reputation for “getting things done” like no other… Stalin was quietly securing his base within the Communist Party by appointing only his trusted friends and allies… By 1924, most of the delegates in the Communist Party were “Stalinists”… Stalin Ousts Trotsky By January of 1928, Stalin began accusing Trotsky of treachery within the Communist Party… Without enough support from the party, Trotsky is forced into exile… In an attempt to save his own life, Trotsky flees to Mexico to find safety from Stalin’s agents… Trotsky Murdered After his exile, Trotsky is powerless since Stalin controls the party AND the Soviet Army… In August of 1940, Leon Trotsky is assassinated by a Stalinist agent in Mexico… Stalin has now solidified his power over the Soviet Union… Stalin and the “Cult of Personality” Stalin will rule with an iron fist for over 30 years… The “cult of personality” is associated with Stalin as a leader who was idealized and almost God-like… Through his violent purges and programs, it is estimated that between 20 to 25 million Russians died during his rule… Animalism = Communism Old Major = Karl Marx Old Major = Vladimir Lenin Mr. Jones = Tsar Nicholas II Napoleon = Joseph Stalin Snowball = Leon Trotsky Squealer = Vyacheslav Molotov (Foreign Minister (Propaganda)) Pigs = Bolsheviks Boxer = Working Class Benjamin = Old Russian Population Clover = Women of Revolution Moses = Russian Orthodox Church Muriel = Educated Working Class Mollie = Bourgeoisie (Wealthy) Dogs = Soviet Military / KGB Hens = Peasants Sheep = Uneducated Masses Pigeons = Soviet Propaganda Abroad Mr. Frederick = Nazi Germany Dictatorship Adolf Hitler Mr. Pilkington = U.S./Great Britain Capitalism Winston Churchill FDR/ Harry Truman Battle of the Cowshed = October Revolution Battle of the Windmill = Battle of Stalingrad Final Feast = Tehran Conference Animal farm by George orwell “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others…”.

    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

INTRODUCTION George Orwell, a pen name for Eric Arthur Blair, was a British novelist, essayist and critic. He was born in India in the nineteenth century (1903-1950), and grew up in a war and military atmosphere. His experienced joining the Indian Imperial Police from 1922 to 1927 had changed his character into a rebel in terms of literature and politic. In 1936, Orwell already knew where he stood when he said that, “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it” (Orwell, 2014, p.

  • Socialism in Europe and the Russian Revolution India and the Contemporary World Society Ofthefuture
    Socialism in Europe and II the Russian Revolution Chapter 1 The Age of Social Change In the previous chapter you read about the powerful ideas of freedom and equality that circulated in Europe after the French Revolution. The French Revolution opened up the possibility of creating a dramatic change in the way in which society was structured. As you have read, before the eighteenth century society was broadly divided into estates and orders and it was the aristocracy and church which controlled economic and social power. Suddenly, after the revolution, it seemed possible to change this. In many parts of the world including Europe and Asia, new ideas about individual rights and who olution controlled social power began to be discussed. In India, Raja v Rammohan Roy and Derozio talked of the significance of the French Revolution, and many others debated the ideas of post-revolutionary Europe. The developments in the colonies, in turn, reshaped these ideas of societal change. ian Re ss Not everyone in Europe, however, wanted a complete transformation of society. Responses varied from those who accepted that some change was necessary but wished for a gradual shift, to those who wanted to restructure society radically. Some were ‘conservatives’, others were ‘liberals’ or ‘radicals’. What did these terms really mean in the context of the time? What separated these strands of politics and what linked them together? We must remember that these terms do not mean the same thing in all contexts or at all times. We will look briefly at some of the important political traditions of the nineteenth century, and see how they influenced change.

Tired of being exploited for human gain, the animals—who have human characteristics such as the power of speech—agree to create a new and fairer society. The novel reads like a fairy tale, and Orwell originally subtitled it as one, but it is also a satire containing a message about world politics and especially the former Soviet Union. In a satire, the writer attacks a serious issue by presenting it in a ridiculous, funny way. Orwell uses satire to expose what he saw as the myth of Soviet Socialism. The novel tells a story that people of all ages can understand, but it also tells us a second story— that of the real-life Revolution. Since the Bolshevik Revolution of the early 1900s, the former Soviet Union had captured the attention of the world with its socialist experiment. This form of government had some supporters in Britain and the United States, but Orwell was against this system.

DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; Cultural Context; *Educational Attitudes; Elementary Education; Ethnography; *Literacy; *Low Income; Reading Attitudes; Social Influences; *Socioeconomic Status IDENTIFIERS *Literacy as a Social Process; *New York (Upstate) ABSTRACT An ethnographic study examined and compared schooled and non-schooled uses of literacy and literature in a small, rural, all white, Adirondack Mountain community in upstate New York to explicate the way in which low social class and economic status constrain school achievement. More than 75 interviews were conducted over a 3-year period with students, teachers, school administrators, former students, parents, community members, and local employers. Observations were also conducted at graduations, holiday celebrations, faculty meetings, and the non-school classroom of hunters' safety training and snowmobile safety training. Results indicated that most of the families in the town are literate and are often involved with literacy during the course of their daily lives. Literacy is seen to exist within a social and cultural context, and its definitions are varied and changeable. People in the town understand what is required for academic achievement, but often choose not to pursue it. In both school and non-school settings, literacy is used for particular purposes, and there are specific demands placed by the community upon its members regarding specific texts.

  • Animal Farm by George Orwell
    ANIMAL FARM BY GEORGE ORWELL IV Semester Bsc English Notes George Orwell Novella Prepared by Ravikumar A Department of English GFGC Yalahanka Bengaluru ANIMAL FARM Old Major, the old boar on the „Manor Farm‟, calls the animals on the farm for a meeting, during which he refers to humans as parasites, cruel and teaches the animals a revolutionary song called „Beasts of England‟. When Major dies, two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, assume command and consider it a duty to prepare for the Rebellion. The animals revolt and drive the drunken and irresponsible farmer Mr Jones from the farm, renaming it "Animal Farm". They adopt Seven Commandments of Animalism, the most important of which is, "All animals are equal." Snowball teaches the animals to read and write, while Napoleon educates young puppies on the principles of Animalism. Food is plentiful, and the farm runs smoothly. The pigs elevate themselves to positions of leadership and set aside special food items, separately for their personal health. Napoleon and Snowball struggle for supremacy. When Snowball announces his plans to build a windmill, Napoleon has his dogs chase Snowball away and declares himself leader of Animal Farm. Napoleon enacts changes to the governance structure of the farm, replacing meetings with a committee of pigs who will run the farm. Through a young pig named Squealer, Napoleon claims credit for the windmill idea. The animals work harder with the promise of easier lives with the windmill. When the animals find the windmill collapsed after a violent storm, Napoleon and Squealer convince the animals that Snowball is trying to damage their project.

    1 Why Does Boxer Die In Animal Farm Boxer is a loyal supporter of Napoleon, and he listens to everything the self-appointed ruler of the farm says and assumes, sometimes with doubt, that everything Napoleon tells the farm animals is true, hence Napoleon is always right. in cartoons for many years before Orwell began to write Animal Farm. Boxer fights in the Battle of the Cowshed and the Battle of the Windmill. should live on in all the animals; ergo another excuse to make the animals work even harder. Boxer is based on a coal miner named Alexey Stakhanov who was famous for working over his quota. He is shown as the farm s most dedicated and loyal laborer. Boxer was the only close friend of Benjamin, the cynical donkey. He is described as faithful and strong ; 1 and he be- lieves any problem can be solved if he works harder. Squealer concocts a sentimental tale of the death of Boxer, saying that he was given the best medical care possible, paid for by the compassionate Napoleon. Boxer supported Stalin and also was very loyal to his kind. citation needed The Joseph Stalin Regime built a cult of personality around him that rewarded workers who showed a similar heroic dedication to production and efficiency. Boxer s strength plays a huge part in keeping Animal Farm together prior to his death the rest of the animals trusted in it to keep their spirits high during the long and hard laborious winters. Squealer says that his sayings, Comrade Napoleon is always right and I will work harder.

Read the passage from Animal Farm by George Orwell. Then answer the questions. from Animal Farm by George Orwell 1 The whole farm was deeply divided on the subject of the windmill. Snowball did not deny that to build it would be a difficult business. Stone would have to be carried and built up into walls, then the sails would have to be made and after that there would be need for dynamos and cables. (How these were to be procured, Snowball did not say.) But he maintained that it could all be done in a year. And thereafter, he declared, so much labour would be saved that the animals would only need to work three days a week. Napoleon, on the other hand, argued that the great need of the moment was to increase food production, and that if they wasted time on the windmill they would all starve to death. The animals formed themselves into two factions under the slogan, “Vote for Snowball and the three-day week” and “Vote for Napoleon and the full manger.” Benjamin was the only animal who did not side with either faction.
