Firstly the writer makes it clear in chapter 2 that the pigs were considered cleverer than all the other animals. Leadership was naturally theirs and as a result, we see them ordering the other animals and running the affairs of the farm. Secondly, the pigs were able to both read and write. This skill made them superior to the other animals. Hence, they were able to bend the rules to their own advantage and nobody could argue with them.
Aside from this, the pigs got more rations of food than the animals who actually toiled for it. The pigs did not do any work but simply supervised. They even created a headquarters for themselves. The superior knowledge of the pigs made them live luxurious lives and enslave the other animals on the farm. They were able to trade with other farms, put on human clothes and make deals with humans. what gave them the advantage was the fact that they were naturally clever.
The pigs live luxurious lives compared to the other animals on the farm. The pigs are considered brainworkers and make all of the decisions while the other animals have no say in their lives. The pigs refrain from manual labor, while the other animals toil for the majority of the day, and enjoy the best foods, like apples and milk in their mash while the other animals starve. After Napoleon usurps power, the pigs begin living in the farmhouse and enjoy the comforts of Mr. Jones's home. The pigs also enjoy the privilege of being the only educated animals on the farm. Napoleon and the other pigs also begin drinking Mr. Jones's alcohol and start wearing his clothes. Overall, the pigs enjoy living privileged lives while the other animals suffer from starvation and tirelessly work all day. The pigs also create and enforce the rules, which only benefit themselves.
