George Orwell's Animal Farm demonstrates that the greatest obstacle to achieving a fair society is not political beliefs but rather human nature itself. This is evident in the way that the animals on the farm are unable to resist the corrupting influence of power, as they slowly lose sight of the original goals of their revolution and begin to succumb to greed and selfishness. As a result, their attempts to create a fair and just society ultimately fail, demonstrating the difficulty of overcoming our own internal impulses in order to create a truly equitable society.
