Starlight's town actually does have something to do with communism. She forces equality on the town and makes everypony who has a talent drop to everyone else's level so they are miserable anybody with a difference is forced into equality which was communism's original intention, there is an author who expressed this...Orwin or Olsen...can't remember but he wrote animal farm and I think a short story about communism where the strong wore weights and the intelligent wore headphones that limited their intelligence with a noise. Also the mane 6 represent the UN (united nations) Fluttershy representing Germany by actually seeing the potential but betraying starlight in the end like in WW 2 where Hitler betrayed Stalin by attacking Russia. Twilight represents America in the way she notices the problem but doesn't take action until later on...Pinkie Pie represents France by being the first to take notice and the first to slowly be taken down by Starlight's magic. RD, AJ, and Rarity represent the rest of the UN by assisting in taking down Communism and the townsfolk represent well Russia and end up rising and ending the episode with a better ending than what actually happened so there you have it the whole time line of Stalin's power put into pony perspective and a better ending to the story.

But she also tried to keep everypony happy representing Maoism who for a communist was a pretty good leader

It was George Orwell, which was the pseudonym used by socialist intellectual Eric Arthur Blair. His opposition to communism (at least in its Soviet guise) was that it hadn't done away with the injustice in Russian society so much as it replaced one tyranny with another. His story was essentially the history of the Russian Revolution retold with talking farm animals and a darkly satirical bent.

Germany was not part of the United Nations, nor was the Second World War fought against communism. The Second World War was essentially a war waged against communism and liberal democracy by fascism, with the communist and democratic powers uniting against a common foe. Stalin's reign didn't end with the U.N. intervening and deposing Stalin, either: the Soviet Union continued for nearly forty years after Stalin's death under Khrushchev and Brezhnev, finally ending with Gorbachev's unsuccessful attempts at democratizing the Soviet bloc. The only time the U.N. ever went to war against a communist state was during the Korean War, when the DPRK invaded the ROK.

Notice how I put in the end Stalin's time in power I wasn't just referring to WW 2 I was referring to everything that happened in his power.

Like I said, the Soviet Union continued functioning for nearly four decades after Stalin's demise.

Sadam Hussain and Discord literally only share the fact that they have facial hair. Otherwise Hussain was a expansionist minded ductator, which implies order, while Discord is an ideological anarchist who emphasizes chaos. I really don't see the connection here.

If we're going to compare Discord to a deceased Middle Eastern dictator, I think Muammar Qaddafi is a better comparison than Saddam Hussein, considering the bizarre and disorganized manner in which he ran Libya, as well as the way he supported terrorist and insurgent groups across the globe. Other potential Discord analogues include Idi Amin Dada, Jean-Bedel Bokassa and Francisco Marcias Nguema.
