 * Snowball painted a scene of a farm where the animals did little work. "Electricity, he said, could operate threshing machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers, and reapers and binders, besides supplying every stall with its own electric light, hot and cold water, and an electric heater." (Orwell, 1997, pg 67).
 * “In return for low-cost grain exports, Russia and other East European areas imported some Western machinery and other costly equipment, as well as luxury goods for the great aristocrats to display as badges of cultured respectability.” (Stearns, Peter N., Adas, Michael, Schwartz, Stuart B., 1992).
 * “The windmill was not used for generating electrical power. “It was used for milling corn, and brought in a handsome money profit.” (Orwell, 1997, pg 128).
 * “Some aristocrats were convinced that a freer labor system would motivate serfs to work hard and thus produce higher agricultural profits.” (Stearns et al., 1992).
 * The human beings hated Animal Farm. Each human being believed “That the farm would go bankrupt sooner, or later, and, above all, that the windmill would be a failure.” (Orwell, 1997, pg 78)
