Quote by George Orwell
No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?
Summary
This quote, spoken by Comrade Napoleon in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm, highlights the leader's supposed belief in equality among animals. However, it also serves as a veiled justification for him making decisions on behalf of the others. Napoleon acknowledges the potential for individuals to make mistakes and suggests that it is his responsibility to prevent detrimental outcomes. This statement subtly demonstrates the leader's control-seeking tendencies under the guise of protecting the greater good, laying the groundwork for the erosion of true equality on the farm.
