Was Wonka Satan?

Wonka was Dahl's self-insert after years of dealing with shitty kids.

Also what's up with that cover? No child would want to read it.

I think it can be read as a Communist allegory, with Wanka running a commune in which all his employees live. The kids that are eliminated all represent the things communists hate: excess, addiction, the bourgeoisie, and the media. The child that wins is the poor son of a man who lost his job to a machine, a main concern of the Luddites, a communist sect. Food for thought.
