Explanation

Satire lets Orwell criticize Soviet communism indirectly by presenting a fictional farm, and it ridicules the system to expose its faults. Irony helps readers notice the difference between what characters claim and what is actually happening. The parody of Stalin through Napoleon is meant to criticize Stalin, not make him seem sympathetic, and irony is more than saying untrue things just to amuse readers.
