For as long as men have come together, there have been those who have ruled unjustly. Pol Pot is one of these men and Napoleon, although not a man, is yet another. We will compare these 2 in terms of their atrocities and how they came to be... We will compare these 2 "creatures" by looking at their rise to power, laws and policies, and also their cruelties and atrocities. To rule unjustly, you must first come to rule. Napoleon had first seized power when he chased away snowballs and replaced Sunday meetings with a committee of pigs he controlled, who made decisions in private (p. 38 Animal Farm, 1997). This had allowed Napoleon to dictate what the main workforce focused on and also allowed him to take credit for the windmill. Napoleon also began to change the Seven Commandments in small ways for personal benefit. This allowed Napoleon and the other pigs to drink and work in cooperation with human farmers and other farms, as well as other things that Napoleon and Squealer originally declared illegal. Pol Pot, however, came to power by creating a new party, known as the Workers' Party of Kampuchea (WPK) (p. 2, Encyclopedia of World Biography, 1998). Pol Pot used the WPK, later known as the CPK (Communist Party of Kampuchea) to wage war on Hanoi and Lon Nol for the army in Cambodia. Another way Pol Pot gained power was through a new democratic government of Kampuchea, thus placing himself at the top (p. 3, Encyclopedia of World Biography, 1998). This, however, allowed him to root out his enemies within his own ranks in an attempt to maintain power. As you can see, Pol Pot rose to power similarly to how Gaffney 2 Napoleon rose to power by killing "animals" or, in Pol Pot's case, killing people. ...... middle of the card ...... hey; 2) Private property; 3) Jewelry; 4) Gambling; 5) reading material and religion. Napoleon did the same by not allowing animals to read (only pugs could read), they couldn't drink alcohol unless they were pigs and they also weren't allowed to do anything humans could do except sleep. As for Pol Pot, he took children from their homes and forced them to join the army just as Napoleon took puppies from their mothers and trained them to be his private security. The things I listed in the previous paragraphs are all comparable to how Napoleon and Pol Pot are similar in strange and unique ways. Now I hope you have learned a lot about my dictator and also about Napoleon and I hope that one day you won't end up behaving just like Napoleon or Pol Pot and won't be special in your own way. Thanks for reading and I hope you will read Animal Farm again and again and again.
