WoW Going Towards Socialism?

Socialism - the creation of an egalitarian society.

Egalitarian Society - To have have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights.

Blizzard's current direction for WoW - To make all classes enter changeable, and more equal. The current raid buffs, and not being able to stack a lot of buffs. The spread of everyone's skills to other class's.

Does this not seem similar? Most of us know how well Socialism has worked in the past.... Will it not end up like that? It my look good on paper, but will it work out?

I am not saying this to that extreme... I am just saying that it is comparable, and what made WoW Vanilla so great was the class differences. Just putting a real world comparison towards it.

I wouldn't spend too much time drawing such a comparison. You are, after all, comparing a virtual world owned and operated by a for-profit gaming company to forms of government. If nothing else it feels like it cheapens history to focus on such an idea.
