In every collectivist system, be it fascism or communism or "liberal democracy" the ruling class and it's minions of intellectuals and middle class useful idiots deeply hate the working class.

They hate them because they fear them.

They fear them because deep down they know they are plundering them and in their nightmares they come with pitchforks to hold them accountable.

And that's why they always want to disarm them. They want control, not order, and control relies on concentrating all weapons in the hands of central authority.
