Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels

On Animal Farms, the pigs replaced Mr. Jones, the farmer, and in Bangladesh, Mujib and his corrupt cronies replaced the previous oligarchy. Today, Bangladesh is a kleptocracy.
As we observed above in our discussion of oligarchy and oligopoly, society at any given time consists of groups that dominate other groups. Heavily influenced by evolutionary psychology, the group dominance theory, chiefly associated with Jim Sidanius and his colleagues, views society as inherently oppressive and group oppression to be the "normal, default, condition of human relations". Sidanius argues that
"most forms of oppression including racism, ethnocentrism (including the oppression of religious minorities such as Jews) sexism, nationalism, and classism and as well as a number of other social attitudes, human drives and social institutions function, in part, to help establish and maintain the integrity of this group-based hierarchical structure."
