/^t/In one of his essays Orwell wrote that politics is a kind of a subatomic world in which part can be bigger than a whole. According to Orwell world of politics is too complicated to talk about equality in it. He once said that Stalin and his colleagues having the best intentions could not behave in different ways in reality of that time. There is no equality if there is any hierarchy. Since 1930 it was possible to notice signs of attempts to establish clear hierarchy in Russian society which completely argues with the idea of equality. Orwell thought that English people could not understand the system established in Russia because they wanted to believe that somewhere in the world there is a country of real socialism where equality is the highest virtue. Of course we know that there is no such country. It cannot exist as there will always be a kind of hierarchy. There will be always a ruling class: "more equal" people who pull the strings and "less equal" group of society which has to work hard.
