In the passage from "Animal Farm," "Man" symbolizes the oppressive ruling class and the exploitation of the working class, which is a key aspect of the concept of communism. The idea is that the removal of the oppressor (symbolized by "Man") would lead to a better and more equitable society. Therefore, the most fitting answer to what "Man" symbolizes would be communism.
Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm.
"This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep—and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining. Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word—Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever.”
