He was the author of the book Animal Farm, and I need to know if he was for or against communism, and how he used old major to express his political views.
Orwell was generally against communism. Animal Farm is a satire of totalitarian governments in their many guises. But Orwell composed the book for a more specific purpose: to serve as a cautionary tale about Stalinism. It was for this reason that he faced such difficulty in getting the book published; by the time Animal Farm was ready to meet its readers, the Allies were cooperating with the Soviet Union.
