sorry but revelations have stated that she is a communist stereotype, as far as the show will allow - she is basically a "kid-friendly" take on Stalinism, which bends communist ideals in order to allow open abuse by one person (in a manner similar to the very regimes communism rebelled against).

at the very least she is using Equestria's version of communism (under a different name) to manipulate others, just like Stalin did.. the fact she goes on about "equality" while still oppressing those who dislike her philosophy shows she is meant to be critical of communist propaganda in which leaders would praise how they were making everyone equal but held themselves to a different standard from the rest of society.
