I don’t know why that comment is collecting downvotes. They are referencing George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”
Context: “Animal Farm” is a story about how communism can devolve into dictatorship. In the story, the animals on a farm drive out their tyrannical drunkard farmer. They write on the barn wall: “all animals are equal” and live in communist utopia. But some animals, too, hunger for power and status. Rather than overturn the system, they undermine it by adding “…but some animals are more equal than others” to the barn wall, legitimizing a ruling class (themselves) because they are “more equal.”
For anyone interested they’re currently releasing a modern retelling in comic book form called Animal Pound, next issue is #5 of 6, and the collected trade paperback will be along later after issue #6.
It’s fantastic imo so far. The Pound has just found their new autocrat, their Napoleon, and shit is getting real for the poor lil bunnies.
