George Orwell's 1944 allegorical novel Animal Farm tells the story of a farm taken over by its animals and represents the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the establishment of the Soviet Union. The animals establish seven commandments of equality to guide their new society, but the commandments are later replaced by Napoleon the pig to assert that "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others." Ultimately, the pigs take over the farm and establish a new hierarchy similar to the capitalists they overthrew, representing how the Russian Revolution failed to achieve true equality and democracy.
