Often, in a communist society, a leader's use of language can lead to an abuse of power. In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the leaders of the farm, the pigs, use an unknown language, invoke scare tactics and create specific laws, thus allowing them to control other animals, satisfy their greedy desires and perform actions outside their reign of power. By using broad language, implementing scare tactics, and creating and manipulating laws, pigs are able to get away with avoiding laws and convincing other animals to believe false stories and lies that are advantageous to the pigs. The first The way pigs use language to abuse their power is by using extensive details and terms and vocabulary foreign to most animals. An example of the pigs using unfamiliar terms can be found when Squealer explains to the other animals how hard the pigs have to work to keep the farm running. «There was, as Clarinetto never tired of explaining, endless work in supervising and organizing the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that other animals were too ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to perform enormous labors every day on mysterious things called 'files', 'reports', 'verbals' and 'memorandums'…” (129). In this scene, the animals, exhausted, hungry, and overworked, are told how the pigs work just as hard as they do. While this is completely false, as pigs are only concerned with selfish pursuits and personal profit, the other animals believe this to be true because they do not know what documents, reports, minutes, or memos are. Their ignorance makes them unable to question Squealer's story and they confuse the truth of the pigs... half of the card... they will return. By skillfully inducing fear in animals, pigs are able to convince them to agree and support whatever they suggest. The pigs in George Orwell's Animal Farm use specific laws, use unfamiliar vocabulary and harrowing details, implement scare tactics, and create and manipulate law to successfully gain the other animal's trust, acquire certain luxuries not available to most animals, and establish themselves as dictators of a totalitarian society. Through the use of details, unfamiliar vocabulary, specific laws, and scare tactics, the pigs gain the ability to drink alcohol, sleep on beds, eat and drink milk and apples, destroy Snowball's credibility, and establish trust between each other and the other animals. From Orwell's Animal Farm we see how leaders with absolute power use carefully manipulated language to abuse their power.
