Animal farm, in-essence the animals took over the farm and run it as they saw fit they wrote rules that were to be followed; but the rules were changed at night and slowly all fell into chaos. It is a good book you ought to read it it explains the feelings of many people about Stalin's Russia.

It is a corruption of the line "All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others" from Animal Farm by George Orwell.

As a bit of background, the animals overthrew the farmer and took over the farm. However, their visonary leader died, and the pigs started to betray the 'commandments' - changing them to suit their purposes, and eventually they add the 'but some are more equal than others' bit to the end and the other animals realise they have become the masters as surely as the humans had been.
It was a satirical look at communism, and the incompatibility of it with human nature.

Probably a bit excessive that answer but hey, you didn't have to read beyond the first bit.

I believe that is a variation of the classic line from George Orwell's "Animal Farm".. a satire on communism, where "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than the others"
In Animal farm, the Pigs were the "more equal animals" as akin to the Politburo in the erstwhile Soviet Union, as parodied in the book

George Orwell in the book Animal Farm. The Book is a retelling of the Bolshevik Revolution. If you know anything about it, it reminds me of Hitler and how he persecuted the Jews. I cant really explain the book but it is a good read for those history and war junkies. The character who says "We are all equal, but some are more equal than others" is a pig named Napoleon. He is in charge of animal farm. He is supposed to represent a dictator. I hope this helps with your question.

Yea, it has been answered. The pig said it in animal farm by George Orwell. It was a comment on communist society, you start out by being equal but then there comes divisions and power, then equality does not happen.

1st person is right. The animals mutinized against the farm owners and developed their own society where every animal was supposed to be equal. However, some of the pigs became leaders and started to become authoritative. They soon established this motto after they started to walk on two feet and began to eat at regular tables - thusly transforming into the people they threw out of the farm.
