The novel which made me to know that communism is only unavailable theory was Animal Farm which was written by the English author, George Orwell. I was very surprised because it showed contradiction and result of communism well. It is simple summary.
Many animals suffered harsh life on the Manor Farm. However, animals revolutionized against human so they banished human. The two pigs which are Snowball and Napoleon became leader of animals. The most powerful pigs were Snowball and Napoleon. However, they have different thought. Eventually, Napoleon became dictator after he banished Snowball. Also, the animals which followed Snowball were banished. However, life of animals was still harsh. The pigs which follow Napoleon only live well. The slogan is also changed from “Four legs are right and two legs are evil” to “Four legs and two legs are both right.” Pigs and human became very friendly. They trade many things and pigs enjoy it. Life of other animals became harsher than before. They can’t bear it anymore. Eventually, they up rise and banished pigs.
Former communist countries showed same process like story of Animal Farm. Many poor people suffered starving under control of corrupted empire and capitalism. Eventually, people revolutionized and collapsed empire and capitalism. However, result is worse than past. Many people worked hardly and freedom disappeared. Not only former leadership but also people who criticized communism were also killed and sent to prison. Only communist leadership lived well like former royal family and noble people. In addition, when economy situation became poor, they also accept capitalism countries. Of course, it is also allowed to only leadership people. They kept their dictatorship by forcing people continuously. Communist countries became more corrupted and poor. As a result, it was also connected to uprising.
Story of Animal Farm and result of communist countries showed that Communism is just theory. It is unavailable. Although capitalism has contradiction which difference between wealth and poverty, it has opportunity which even common people become wealth class. However, communism doesn’t have it. It only exist corrupted and poor situation. We have to choose capitalism for our future. Although it has contradiction, we have to fix it.
