Possibly. The old adage "power corrupts" definitely has it's place in there too though. There was a lot of overthrowing of the "elite" with communist revolutions. Until those leading the revolutions realised that they were the new "elite". Much easier to demand "equality" when you're the one that would benefit from it than when it would be detrimental to you |
Not really since all so called communist coutries ended up having very few rich people. In the Soviet Union even the elite only made about three to four times as much money as the rest of the population.
