The propaganda of Stalin's regime was not powerful or inspiring to masses of workers. Instead, they were inspired by the workers who blindly followed and believed in Stalin. Boxer symbolizes the strength in stupidity of communist workers who blindly followed their leader.

Although the animals were more inspired by "Boxer's strength and his never-falling cry of 'I will work harder'" we cannot ignore the fact that Napoleon (Stalin) & Squealer's propaganda greatly influenced the animals. For instance, Napoleon constantly blamed things on Snowball, and soon enough the other animals started to blame everything on Snowball from lost keys to stolen milk and mixed up seeds.

One way to bring people together is by creating a "common enemy of the state." It is also portrayed in George Orwell's novel, "1984"; Emmanuel Goldstein is known as a common villain by the people. It seems like people unite when they are trying to get rid of a common enemy. For example, when the Suez Crisis occur in Egypt, the Soviet Union and the United States worked together to create a balance of power among the British and the French. Even though the U.S and the USSR weren't best friends, they worked together. -Ian-
