This dream was about revolution, and the prize boar went on to say that the animals of England should be free and that they should all be equal. This speech can be linked back to speech in which Trotsky said to inspire the Russian revolution. I also think that this speech was about communism, this is due to the communist regime is all about everyone being equal. Also I think that Old Major represents Trotsky because he was the man that had the idea of communism but died so he was never able to take part in his great idea.
