Cults need something to worship, not necessarily a god. An element totally abstent in the premiere. They worship nothing.

he contradicts himself in many points
>Starlight Glimmer created a society based on egalitarian social systems and a unified class
Like the actual Communist social system that made emphasys on the labor/proletarian class as the only existent class.
> In fact, the ruling class of her town is still very much present
Yes, the "ruling class" was her. Just like in any other communist nation there was a leader.
Ok there was a ruling class, but not a superior class per se. Just some people with the duty to rule over the nation.
And is HIGHLY implyied by the episode that is the role of Starlight, she doesn't act like a superior pony.
>She did, however, strip her followers of their fundamental cultural identifiers, thus lowering the status of ponies within the privileged tiers of society to that of the more disadvantageous.
Not true, she strips them of their IDENTITIES as unique people, not of their properties/job.
>Deceived by Glimmer's cult of personality,
>cult of personality
Totally absent in the premiere
> Hegelian dialectic analysis
A a certain point he starts to use a similar dialectic.
Maybe communism is not the right word, but in my opinion the whole show was more similar to a "1984" nightmare than to a cult.
