Explanation:

In Animal Farm, the pigs, especially Napoleon, deviate from the original ideals of Animalism. The satire here is used to point out the corruption of the pigs. Snowball's ideas of luxury - like electric - lit stalls and a shorter work - week - are denounced by Napoleon as contrary to Animalism, while the pigs themselves live in luxury. This shows the pigs' hypocrisy and corruption, making them look ridiculous.

Answer:

to criticize the corruption of the pigs so they look ridiculous
