The social insight that Orwell develops in the passage is "Corrupt leaders use propaganda to push their agendas." This is evident in the way Snowball and Napoleon send out pigeons with the purpose of spreading their version of events and promoting the ideals of the Rebellion, using the song "Beasts of England" as a means of influencing and rallying other animals. This reflects the use of propaganda to manipulate and control perceptions in order to further their own agendas.
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
By the late summer the news of what had happened on Animal Farm had spread across half the county. Every day Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the Rebellion, and teach them the tune of "Beasts of England."
