Squealer's propaganda speech

"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself! Our sole object in taking these apples(and this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to well-being of a pig. We pigs are brain-workers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk if we pigs failed our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades" cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, "surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?"

Propaganda is used to deceive and mislead in Animal Farm. Animals are unable to discern the truth from the propaganda, which is a distorted mix of falsehoods and half-truths. To mislead and bewilder them, it is used. Most importantly, to prevent people from acting on their own initiative. Napoleon's propaganda campaign is run by Squealer. Squealer utilizes his communication talents to convince the animals that the movement is going in the right direction whenever anything unexpected occurs.
