Maybe you should read Animal Farm again. It's not so much about an authoritarian society. It's about communism, which is theoretically non-authoritarian yet never works out that way.

You would benefit from reread it, or at least the SparkNotes

He's right though, it was about how easily-corruptible/controllable communism is by a couple of bad actors.

If you think it was just about an authoritarian society, I suggest looking back at the beginning, before the pigs started changing the rules.
