The fundamental and best comparison between Snowball and Trotsky is that both of them represent the intellectual angle towards revolution. Â Trotsky and Snowball both see the revolution as a testing ground for the theory that animated them. Â For Trotsky, this is Marxism and for Snowball this is Animalism. Â When the pigs gain power, Snowball is responsible for developing committees to run the farm. Â Napoleon takes the pups and develops his own secret police. Snowball is not really driven by power, while Trotsky was more concerned with how the revolution and post- revolution Russia would represents the theories of Marx and of Communism.
