Animal Farm and 1984 both have the same type of socialist society in the end. The question is: what was it in the beginning?
In Animal Farm, the animals wanted to get rid of the humans to create a better society for themselves where everyone has enough food to eat and no one works too much. in the end, however, the pigs have all the power, all of the food, and do none of the work. Their society reverts back to the way it was when the humans ruled and in the end there is no difference between pigs and humans.
In 1984, on the other hand, the inner party knew what they were doing from the very beginning. they started the society with promises, but intended to hold all of the power and privileges. They controlled everything intentionally from the beginning.
Either way, everything ended the same, but it was more tragic to see the down fall of Animal Farm, where there was no fall in 1984. it was always intended to be that way.
