In the book Animal Farm, what are a few similarities and differences between the rulings of Napoleon and Mr. Jones?

I would suggest that they are identical, at least in performance.  Mr. Jones makes no pretense of creating a better world, a new social order, for the animals.  He is a capitalist.  He takes care of the animals when it is to his advantage.  The animals seem OK with this until the speech of the Old Major.

Napoleon, on the other hand, is one of them.  He uses the idealism of the Old Major to convince the animals that there is something better for them and that he can deliver it to them.  In this way, he is worse than Jones who made no pretext of improving the lot of the animals.  In fact, he creates and entire class of leeches that live off the work of the rest of the animals.

Give me Jones.  At least we know what we're getting.
