It turns the farm from animalism as espoused by Major (Marxism/Leninism) to the perverted brand of communism as evinced by Stalin.

When Stalin took over in Russia, he started a huge purge of any opposition - perceived or real - and killed or exiled to the Gulag (punishment camps) every being who he and his minions saw as a threat. In the same way, Napoleon stamps his ownership of the regime onto the farm by doing the same thing - mass murder and changes in the statements about animalism. The farm turn irretrievably from a collective to an oligarchy, and a sinister one at that.
