Bernard Shaw wrote: "All men are equal, but some are more equal than others."  |
| |
|  Though we all feel that all men are equal, I agree with what Shaw wrote in his famous book 'Animal Farm'. It gives a clear insight into the real picture of society.

| |  I'd actually agree with the satire, I don't see how that comment could give a good light to communism.

| | The statement means that even in communism(where all men are declared to be equal), there are different strata of people according to their importance!! | | | |

| | It does give a clear insight, and it's true to the letter. Even in a close knitt society of equals, there will always be a few be it through political or emotional, that are always held higher than others. | | | | | | |

| |  I think you made a "lapsus calami". The author of Animal Farm is George Orwell, not the other George. I'm George too. :)

| |  suryachalla-I am a scientist, for us "equal" probably means 100% EQUAL, NO MORE ,NO LESS!!!
I have not read this book, hence do not know what picture it gives or what he means by-"more equal". Thanks for th nice posting.

| |  The more equal part refers to governments preaching the quality of men while treating some as lesser people. It was written at a time when communism was taking hold of the continent preaching a new, fair way of life but subjecting it's people to harsh, unfair treatment.

| |  I'll try again. The first response just vanished. I have not seen the movie 'Animal Farm'. It sounds like a 'must see' movie. I will get and watch it intensely. I'm almost afraid to! lol Very scary!
When the origional phrase was quoted by someone else, it was,
"All men are created with equal opportunities", I'm pretty sure.

| | I'm afraid to disappoint you!!! The original text of the quotation is as I quoted (of course, instead of saying George Orwell, I attributed it to Shaw!). It is actually a satire on communism, written in early 20th century, by Orwell. There is no movie by that name, but I wouldn't wonder if one is made, since we have movies like 'babe in the city' and other animal movies. | | | |
