Does Snowball represent a morally legitimate political alternative to the corrupt leadership of Napoleon ?

It becomes
evident that by the end of the novel, a case could be made for Jones representing a morally
legitimate political alternative to .  All joking aside, I think thatdoes represent a morally
legitimate political alternative to the corruption that Napoleon displays.  Snowball is the only
pig that legitimately believes in the notion of Animalism, and the idea that all animals should
work together for their collective betterment.  Snowball's work on the committees that were
formed as well as the fact that Snowball's real enjoyment comes from talking to the other
animals about revolutionary fervor and post- revolutionary life represents a morlly legitimate
and politically authentic leadership alternative to Napoleon, who is more inclined even in the
initial stages of post- revolutionary life to embrace political notions that benefit he and him
alone.  Snowball's desire to construct the windmill for the benefit of the other animals is also
representative of a legitimate political alternative to Napoleon's corruption.  Probably the
best example that shows how Snowball is a morally legitimate political alternative to Napoleon
is how the latter effectively rids the farm of the former.  After Snowball gives a particularly
impassioned speech to the other animals linking his proposal of the windmill to the idea of
Animalism, Napoleon does not engage.  He does not respond in kind.  He does not even retort
anything Snowball says.  He simply sets the dogs on him, representing the full extent of his own
corruption and making Snowball out to be a morally legitimate political alternative to the
corrupt leadership of Napoleon.
