Classless Society?

Animal Farm wanted a classless society of animals, just like Russian revolters wanted. Why is it hard to make a classless society work? Can it ever happen? Why or why not?

The reason a classless society is very had to sustain, is because of the fact that everyone have to buy into the idea of it, the idea that no matter what amount of work you do everyone gets paid the same. The worst part about it is that if you are a doctor or a sourgeon you get paid the same amount as a waitress or something lower paying in a regular society.

I don’t think that you could have a classless society, because no matter what, there is always going to be a leader, and they think they are better than the rest of the people. If it was a classless society you shouldn’t judge others, but people do anyway, so it wouldn’t work like ever.

Classles societies don’t see a lot of respect from people, so they are pressed to find a difficult way of making their point heard.

It is hard to make a classless society because jobs and income could be a factor in making a “class”. If you take income away and just make everyone have the same wage, people wouldn’t want to work harder or get and education to become something better. People wouldn’t work as hard and it wouldn’t make the society very effient. I think it could work in a small environment because then people would work together more and try to make a good society.

Not many societies are classless for the sole factor that it is so hard to sustain equality within everyone of that society. There will always be a few leaders that stand out from the rest of the crowd and there are so many different types of people that there is no way to keep equality through all.

I think everyone has to agree to a class less society for it to work. If you take away income people just don’t work as hard unless they really agree. Or they are forced to do the work.

Everyone has to agree to work the same for a classless society to work. It’s very obvious that some people are going to work their tails off and some are just going to slack off because they know that they are getting paid in the long run, so why should they work? Everyone has a different opionion on what they should work and do. People are selfish, they don’t want the good of the society, they want the good for themselves.

I think a classless society might be possible in small groups. I think in this case that the group was a little to big. The basic ideas of all the animals were the same, to get freedom. However, the ideas of how to get that freedom and keep that freedom were different.
