When Starlight's "ideal society" broke down, I think she herself exposed her motives. She has convinced herself that what she is doing is the right thing, but perhapes even she does not conform to her own rules, as this is the show basically saying that leaders like that are corrupt. She says things like "if it weren't for my magical ability" and "I brought you friendship, I brought you equality, I created harmony". And the way she speaks in her "You'd still be thinking you're better than everypony else" line seems to indicate that she believes she is better than them. She is ironicallybreaking her rules, but she's corrupt so she doesn't notice it as the power goes to her head.
