Napoleon had denounced such ideas as contrary to the spirit of Animalism.
The truest happiness, he said, lay in working hard and living frugally.
Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer
—except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs. Perhaps this was partly because there were so many pigs and so many dogs.
It was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion.
There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organisation of the farm.
Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand.
For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day
upon mysterious things called “files,” “reports,” “minutes,” and “memoranda.”
These were large sheets of paper which had to be closely covered with writing,
and as soon as they were so covered, they were burnt in the furnace.
This was of the highest importance for the welfare of the farm, Squealer said.
