No, I think that this is an insight into Starlight's mental pathology. She views 'equality' as meaning 'identical' and furthermore considers 'different' to mean 'oppressing the lesser'. To her, the only way to stop the less skilled and less powerful from being 'oppressed' is to make everyone equally powerless and unskilled. Then everypony can enjoy the false utopia of equal want and equal powerlessness.

There's a phrase for this: It's 'narcissistic megalomaniac'; she and Pol Pot have broadly similar philosophies. Given how she lashed out at her former drones suggest that she even shares his homicidal tendencies (or hippocidal, for a pony).
