I may have mentioned this before.

There was a huge discrepancy between the Egalitarian Ideology of the Bolshevik Party and their actual standards of living, particularly at the top. Not so much Lenin who was still pretty idealistic until the day he died but he KNEW Stalin and what Stalin was like but powerless to stop him.

The huge gap between the rubbish the Party was churning out about Worker’s Sacrifice and all that and the standard of living of the inner circles of the Communist Party were horrendous.

Purportedly, they were supposed to believe in Historical and Dialectical Materialism and work towards a just and equal society, while spreading the good word about Communism all over the Globe. In fact, there was a rigid hierarchy and class system within Soviet Russia.

And our friend the Major in Animal Farm was justifying exactly the same thing. “All pigs are equal,’ the crafty swine said, “but some ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS..!”
