Pg 78 second paragraph

And yet the animals never gave up hope. More, they never lost, even for an instant, their sense of honour and privilege in being members of Animal Farm. They were still the only farm in the whole country - in all England! - owned and operated by animals. not one of them, not even the youngest, not even the newcomers who had been brought from farms ten or twenty miles away, ever ceased to marvel at threat. And when they heard the gun booming and saw the green flag fluttering at the masthead, their hearts swelled with imperishable pride, and the talk turned always toward the old heroic days, the expulsion of Jones, the writing of the Seven Commandments, the great battles in which the human invaders had been defeated. None of the old dreams had been abandoned. The republic of the Animals which Major had foretold, when the green fields of England should be untrodden by human feet, was still believed in. Some day it was coming: it might not be soon, it might not be within the lifetime of any animal now living , but still it was coming.

This passage was directly showing the brainwashed animals' thoughts on dictatorship. No matter how hard they worked, how lazy they were, how big they were, or how much they ate they were treated and valued the same. They all had the same status and were given the same payment. They didn't really understand all corners to this type of governing. It was actually cheating laboring animals and giving tons of advantages to the pigs and the dogs who just lived off their labour. But how would the lambs, horses, and other animals know that? So they end up being so pround of their "country" or farm that actually cheats off the citizens who work to make the country live and improve. Its really honorable of them to be pround of their home but it is really sad that there is actually more happening then they actually realize. They are wanting communism to spread all over the world but it will actually kill them and devestate them first.
