In the novel Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer developed a philosophy in the farm called 'Animalism.'

Animalism was a communist philosophy which states that all animals are equal thus should be treated equally and share equal responsibility and rewards. The philosophy of Animalism was based on the idea of Old Major, who in his speech to the farm. In his speech to the farm Old Major said that he had a vision of a farm in which he saw all animals are equal and without any oppression from humans. He urged his fellow animals to pursue this vision and desire to have a farm like this. Old Major taught them a song of 'Beasts of England' also which was based on his idea of equality of animals.
