Supposedly, Orwell was anti-communist and his book depicted the failure of communism. Hence, the most famous quote of his novel, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
Yes, he served in some civil war and was wounded. You are correct - he was anti communist. Snowball was actually a spoof of Trotsky. He wasn't an advocate of any political system but did seem to have it in for Trotsky.
