Ah, but it attacks the Soviet Union from a Trotskyite perspective,
not a capitalist perspective.  It supports the goals of the
revolution; the good pig that is banished is clearly Trotsky (the pig
that takes over is Stalin).  It attacks the Soviet Union for ending
up too much like the West; at the end the other animals can't tell
the pigs from the men.  I liked it; no intelligent arch-conservative
should, since it attacks capitalism.
