From what I heard of how the Communist elite used to life - at least in Russia - it may not even have been true that they lowered the rich to the level of the poor; they only shifted wealth. But that is hardly what I was speaking about. My mind was on things that actually began long before the October 1917 revolution, and that may even have been corrupted and twisted out of shape by its influence.
