    Having re-read Animal Farm, it occurred to me that it's actually an allegory about Bitcoin!  Help me complete the correspondence table:


    Snowball       = Satoshi
    Napoleon       = Gavin
    The Windmill   = Bitcoin-Qt source code
    Attack dogs    = THE bitcoin Foundation's lobbyists and lawyers.
    Farmer Jones   = Ben Bernanke
    Squealer       = Erik Voorhees
    Old Major      = Diffie + Merkle
    Boxer          = all code contributors who aren't "CORE"
    Benjamin       =
    Crow           = Luke Dashjr
    The cat        = Zhoutong
    The Sheep      = bitcointalk.org
    Molly          = Bruce Wagner?
    The hens       = miners?
    Muriel         =


    Unallocated: FINCEN, MtGox/Karpeles, Bill Cosby, Butterfly Labs.

    Ah yes, the lovely bitcointalk readership, who confuse one of the 100 best novels of the century with one of the worst movies of the 1970's.

    We are so doomed.

    We are not doomed. Nothing is over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

    Animal farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and Stalinism.

    Sorry my bro! But Pearl Harbour was not bombed by the Germans... Everything will be over when we forget about our history and stop moving forward into the future with awareness of what happened.

    All the best from this end and good luck with everything!

    Pearl Harbor was torpedoed by kamikaze Japanese U-boats. Didn't you see the movie Evil Jema?
