"if comrade napoleon says it, it must be right." in at least 150 words, identify the theme that is illustrated in this excerpt from animal farm and explain how it is developed in the story.

The theme that is illustrated is that of language and the way language is used for political propaganda. In this excerpt, Boxer questions Snowball's loyalty to the working class. Squealer, who is used by Napoleon, can convince Boxer that Snowball has always been a traitor. Squealer, who is a literate pig, uses his words to manipulate the rest of the animals. These are all illiterate. In this excerpt, he speaks "categorically" to manipulate the obedient working class. Boxer, the horse, represents the working class. Boxer represents the hard working people who tend not to question authority but they suffer the oppression from the ruling class.  Besides, Squealer is very skillful with his words; he has lied about Snowball and about other things. However, Boxer and the other animals believe more in Squealer's words than in reality. This power of language has made Napoleon a dictator.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
