superintendence+of+the+pigs

Christine K. Seeing from how the pigs seem to the most knowledgeable and possess the most power, I concluded that the pigs were probably the capitalist class, or the people who acquired wealth or power through factories. They were not nobles, but were able to get rich through working hard like how the pigs worked hard to be literate and therefore gain power. Also, the factory workers supervised the workers in order to make sure that they were doing their work like how the pigs look over the other animals to ensure that they are doing their work correctly.

I agree with Christine Kim's statement that pigs are capitalist class, "the people who people who acquired wealth or power through factories". However my question was why are the pigs superior than other kinds of animals? In my opinion and to human beings pigs have reputation of being fat and lazy. When I thought about the question, I thought that high and respected reputation and position of pigs is formed by Old Major. Old Major being the same kind of animal as all pigs, have great reputation by other animals due to his leadership that led to Rebellion which later led to Animal's freedom and independence from the human beings. His great reputation was so strong and powerful that gave such a great impact for the rest of the pigs; other animals believe they are the smart and wise ones. Just like we always listen to teachers and adults even though sometimes they can be wrong.
