Answer 2

Answer:

1. extensively use propaganda.

2. destructive of individual freedom.

4. use violence to establish complete obedience to its rule.

In Animal Farm, we can see many of the characteristics that authoritarian regimes have in reality. The extensive use of propaganda is an example. The pigs are very efficient in creating an enormous amount of propaganda that ultimatele leads to the cult of personality of Napoleon. They also destruct individual freedom by telling the animals that everything they do is for the community. Finally, the pigs also use violence in the form of dogs in order to ensure complete obedience to their rule.
