For Whitewave, you really didn't understand that "even in Communism there is privilege" comment??
Check out Animal Farm, and the "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" quote? Orwell wrote his satire in WW2, and though he was a democratic socialist (think Scandinavia perhaps), he knew plenty about Stalin's Russia and detested that regime.
Stalin and the Party rulers lived like royalty (the same bunch they'd bumped off in the Revolution), as does the North Korean leader right now, he's not on the verge of starvation like half the population!
When Mugabe took over in Zimbabwe, he claimed to be a man of the people, for the people . . .which is how he got to rape the country for hundreds of millions, stashed in Switzerland, and indulge in luxury houses, fleets of limos, etc.
We’re not a Communist country to my knowledge….
