Answer:

Animalism and the creation of "Animal Farm" presented a policy of equality for all individuals, where everyone should work for the common good, which should be available to all members of the community in an equal way. Communism and the rise of the Soviet Union presented this same policy, but like animalism and the "Animal Farm" it did not distribute the common good with equality among the members, but promoted the exploitation of some members to promote the privilege of other members.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Animal farm" is the title of the fable written by George Orwell. In this fable we are introduced to a farm, where animals take over and expel humans because they are tired of being exploited. Soon after, animals create an animalism, a kind of political system that states that all animals are equal and will be treated that way in the farm, because everyone would work in it to promote privileges to each other in an equal way. However, over time, we can see that this "equality" among animals is not true, as many animals continue to be exploited by a small portion of animals that have many privileges that are not available to all animals equally.

The rise of the Soviet Union is similar to this, as this rise happened with the hard work of individuals who believed they would live in an egalitarian country, since the communism established in the country precluded the end of the private institution and the equal distribution of the common good to all citizens. However, what happened was the exploitation of workers to maintain an extremely privileged and overvalued class.
