When I studied Animal Farm in school, the teacher’s presentation was simply “communism bad”…and by extension, “America’s alternative good.”
Now I reread Animal Farm, read Orwell’s other works, learn about Orwell’s beliefs, and read the unpublished introduction to AF, and it’s clear that we all accepted an interpretation that was far from Orwell’s intention.
