I agree.
"The pigs aren’t going to give up the farmhouse, beds, milk and apples, start doing hard labor, and let all the animals have all their perks too."
I agree again. And I would add:
This is why I have often said that the differences between a Fascist State and a Communist State are *in practice* negligible.
One may choose to describe what is happening in different ways but the bottom line is that both resolve down to totalitarianism.
And this will be (or already is) the end result of the crony capitalist/bureaucratic/political power structure we have here today.
Fascist and Socialist state, not communist state.
Remember Communism, when supposedly achieved, the state dissolves and everyone is communist, everyone will just instinctively do what needs to be done, in a communist way. The hierarchy that was in place under socialism is just there to guide people during the transition phase of socialism, which is not pure communism, and once that is achieved, and pure communism is reached, there’s no more need for a guiding hierarchy (no more upper/inner party) and that at that point, it would no longer be needed and it goes away and everyone is truly “equal” and smart enough and conditioned enough to handle any unorthodox thing on their own and live a total communist life.
Socialism is just the transition phase to communism. At least as how it’s technically and classically defined.
