Claim: Even though the beginning of the story states that everything and everyone was equal, as always, there is one person who has more power than others.
Quote: "It was then that Diana Moon Gldeampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor.
Diana Moon Glampers loaded the gun again. She aimed it at the musicians and told them they had ten seconds to get their handicaps back on." p. 26
Commentary: This statement shows that no one tried to stop the Handicapper General and no one was going to try to stop her. All the rest of the people were equal except for her; she had all the power and everyone was willing to give it up to her. The Handicapper General was unable to give up her power to be equal with everyone else, and this is a perfect example why Communism would never work.
