Tsar Nicholas II (Mr. Jones) could not operate their powers correctly due to which the condition of Russia and animal farm was wretched. In Russia majority was poor and impoverished because of the non-effective rule. a revolution takes place based on the theories of Karl Marx and Lenin (old major). Karl Marx was a German economist who laid the rules for communism and Lenin was the Russian revolutionary leader who changed the present unfortunate situation of Russia. after the revolution when the monarch leaves, Trotsky (napoleon) and stalin(snowball) are considered the most powerful heirs. the rules laid in communism(animalism) are followed and the country prospers as Trotsky leads the country but soon Stalin removes Trotsky from the power through a plot in which he gets him killed and becomes the leader of the party. this system soon changes into totalitarianism and this leads to the downfall of the country again.
I have chosen my paragraph from the 10th chapter—
As for the others, their life, as far as they knew, was as it had always been. They were generally hungry, they slept on straw, they drank from the pool, they labored in the fields; in winter they were troubled by the cold, and in summer by the flies. Sometimes the older ones among them racked their dim memories and tried to determine whether in the early days of the Rebellion, when Jones's expulsion was still recent, things had been better or worse than now. They could not remember. There was nothing with which they could compare their present lives: they had nothing to go upon except Squealer's lists of figures, which invariably demonstrated
that everything was getting better and better. Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse−hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.
The two situations are being compared on the present situation and the other the situation with Mr. Jones. In both the cases, they suffer from hunger and misery. Revolutions often lead to changes but they are back to the same situation.
Revolution takes place in manor farm because Mr. Jones treat the animals terribly, they are given food as much as required for breathing, they are over exploited with the work and are slaughtered cruelly. therefore they want a free life away from man, man who uses the animals for his own profits. number of changes occur after a revolution. there were some small changes but as soon as napoleon took the hold of the throne the farm had been deteriorating, they want to change their lives again but they are naïve and are not able to go against napoleon because he has threatened them by changing the commandments like—no animal should kill another animal without a cause. as they had seen how the animals were killed like snowball and boxer.

Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship--
is every country revolutionized or CHANGED in the long run after the overthrow of its cruel government by revolution?
That is the question; whenever there is a space for a major power, the other political leaders perform filthy deeds to attain that position and to become the ultimate leaders. Most of the time, there rule is effective for some time but in the long run they fail because they have all the power to themselves to misuse. That is why communism never works the communist leader soon tends to become the dictator or leading to the system of totalitarianism hence leading to the downfall. Animal farm is the best example for such a decline after the revolution. The same is the case with some of the countries like Russia, north Korea, Libya, yemen, etc. they got and are getting freedom from the dominating governments.
The solution to this problem is democracy where the power is majorly with the citizens. By the people, for the people , of the people, so indirectly all the power is in the hands of the citizens. Where citizens are given the basic and political rights that they possess. They elect the government; the government serves and work for them.
