I didn't interpret it as communism bad, although that's how we were taught it (because of course I studied it in school). I think Orwell's take is that power corrupts and no one should be able to hold power for a significant period of time.

I disagree with Orwell's opinion because he places too much emphasis on great man theory. It's not realistic for any individual to truly dictate an entire country like a farmer or pig might dictated over the farm.

Does it really map current events accurately? Animal Farm doesn't really consider the fundamental difference between different states with different class dynamics. Animal Farm can't explain how socialist states, modern and historical, always continue to improve living conditions for workers as much as possible despite having strong centralisation of power. Meanwhile, conditions are getting worse for workers in capitalist states despite having generally lower (albeit increasing) levels of government involvement.

Also I'm curious by what you mean by neoliberal progressive rugpulling.
