I think it’s about how conservatives and liberals read Animal Farm and think it’s a condemnation of communism, without bothering to understand what communism is or learn anything about Orwell’s political beliefs. They don’t read Marx, but they think they understand Marx because they’ve read an allegory for Leninism and Stalinism.
