Orwell har aldrig lagt skjul på formålet bag Animal Farm. Fra hans egen "Why I write":

The problem of language is subtler and would take too long to discuss. I will only say that of late years I have tried to write less picturesquely and more exactly. In any case I find that by the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it. Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole.

Og som desuden bliver citeret i wikipediaen om Animal Farm, så har han selv forklaret, at det var en satirisk historie om Stalin:

In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin ("un conte satirique contre Staline")

Den basale fejl, som du beskriver, er for Orwell stalinismen og ikke socialismen.
