The Peoples Cube is one of my fave internet sites, but one term used on the forums has always confused me. I never understood what people on this blog meant when they talked about the Glorious World of Next Tuesday™. After watching this video I now have a much better understanding of it.

Obama 2010: "It's time for colleges and universities to get serious about cutting their own costs.

Obama 2012: "Colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down."

***
Obama 2010: "And we should continue the work by fixing our broken immigration system."

Obama 2011: "I strongly believe that we should take on, once and for all, the issue of illegal immigration."

Obama 2012: "I believe as strongly as ever that we should take on illegal immigration."
***

Obama 2010: "We face a deficit of trust."

Obama 2012: "I've talked tonight about the deficit of trust . . ."
***

Obama 2010: "We can't wage a perpetual campaign."

Obama 2012: "We need to end the notion that the two parties must be locked in a perpetual campaign."

***
The good news is that after a couple years these sorts of speeches begin to write themselves.

The man sounds like a broken record. Same speech over and over, and the worst part about it is the fact that what he is talking about is simply not possible. (If you don't believe me see Cuba, North Korea and the USSR where all this stuff DID come to pass).

If he was president for 100 years and took every penny from us and had the government make all our decisions for us top down Iron Fist syle like in the old Soviet Union, he would still give the same exact speech because these problems would still be with us. We would just be a lot poorer. And 100 years older.

Here is a sumation of the Presidents speech which sums up The World of Next Tuesday definition better that I ever could. If only he had more power, if only the government had more money and control, if only congress would pass just one more plan, if only we had more "fairness" in the system, if only we could have the government start more businesses and fix more roads, if only college were free, if only all these things would come to pass then we could Move Forward to the Glorious World of Next Tuesday™! (in about 100 years)

O.K. NOW I get it!

In the words of Chairman M. S. Punchenko, who introduced this term here:

Chairman M. S. Punchenko wrote:The coming Progressive World of Next Tuesday will come next Tuesday (and not this Tuesday). America will become the land of milk and subsidies in this glorious new world, Comrades. Want and need will fade away as the state ensures that all needs are met and that everyone -- EVERYONE!! -- is equal (except for us who will be more equal than others). What a wonderful world we will force upon the masses! Of course some will have to be, well, "liquidated" in order to achieve such a utopia -- but it isn't like they will be missed anyways.

More quotes from our collective mind:


Colonel 7.62

[Once Next Tuesday comes] ...we will have no further need for Capitalist Time Measuring Units. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years will become obsolete. What need do we have for time? Time will only serve to put limits on the Change we all Hope for. I say do away with the obsolete and oppressive notion of time and replace it all with just a single measurement; the Chour. After all, the only thing we have time for is Change and Hope.

In order to create the most time to hope for change, a day with have 100 chours. A HopeWeek will have 100 ChangeDays, and a Chear will have 100 HopeWeeks. Think of how much more can be done now with these new, progressive time units!

... if we can alter the method of tracking time itself, the reaching of arbitrary "goals" within arbitrary "time limits" will become irrelevant.

The outdated, bourgeois popularity contests we call "elections" can still be held as a means of appeasing the Proletariat but how often is "every two years" or "every four years" in Party time? Who cares? There is no need to measure "new time" against "old time", no need to convert one system to the other. Time is what The Party says it is and things will occur when The Party says it is "time" for them to occur.

Thanks Red Square! Now I really REALLY get it! Or to paraphrase the President, "This one thing is now perfectly clear."

That's alright, Ted State. You now have our kind permission to sit down. As long as you restrain yourself (and others) from asking which particular next Tuesday it is.

He's so busy playing golf after dark, and is it not much easier to recycle and redistribute last years speeches? I say YES!! Hail Abomination Obamanation!

He's like the used car salesman who says the car is previously owned, not used, when he says this is not pure Marxism, it's class warfare, er I mean, Fairness for All, you know, without all those wealthy people, like Hitler wanted it!

To add to the Commissar's thoughts, the bourgeois popularity contest day (i.e. Election Day) in this mean country is the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. After Next Tuesday, this pointless ritual will no longer be necessary.

Comrade State,

May I also add that the Glorious Chairman not only coined the phrase but also in his infinite wisdom, he also gave a practical daily demonstration of it in use for the great unwashed masses to easily comprehend.

The Chairman's Glorious Lesson!!!!!!


The Progressive World of Next Tuesday

The Progressive World of Next Tuesday™ is merely the Hope™ a Party Official uses to spur selflessness, revolutionary zeal and utter self-destruction in order to advance the revolution to its climax. Such an example of mentioning The Progressive World of Next Tuesday™ can only be demonstrated in a dialogue between a prole and a Party Official.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prole: Comrade Commissar; when will The Progressive World of Next Tuesday™ come?

Commissar: Why next Tuesday of course! That is why we need you to sacrifice more today in order to achieve The Progressive World of Next Tuesday™ – a world where there will be no more want and where all your needs will be met by the State.

7 days later…

Prole: Comrade Commissar; today is Tuesday and still we haven't achieved ideal Communism? Why is this?

Commissar: Silly Comrade; I said The Progressive World of Next Tuesday™ would come NEXT TUESDAY…NOT THIS TUESDAY- BUT NEXT TUESDAY! That is why you need to work harder for us to get there!

Snoogie, Isn't the exchange you listed above almost exactly what the President said? Art imitates life here on the Cube.

To a large degree, art IS life here on the Cube™ :)

And it will continue to be until Next Tuesday.

Comrades, some thoughts/questions...

1. Is it not good for the children™and will it not save the planet™for Dear Leader to recycle his glorious speeches? Imagine, Comrades, if he had to come up with an original campaign speech every single year? Think of it.....how much electricity would he have to use for all the activities that involve one of these annual taxpayer funded propaganda speeches?

- gathering good little progs together for the focus groups and all the electricity to test the rate of applause, not to mention the television, the lights in the room, and who knows what else...
- the writers having to spend hours in lighted rooms thinking of new glorious things for Dear Leader to say...
- the electricity for Dear Leader to practice the speech in front of TOTUS so his marketing professionals could choreograph (and perhaps add cues within the speech for) his every turn of the head and dramatic pause....

Clearly, Comrades, the answer is recycle, recycle, recycle! We recycle plastic, metal, and glass. Queen Michelle has to sacrifice by wearing the some of the same gaudy dresses to different events instead of getting a new one for each and every event. (Just ask MOTUS, the Mirror of the United States, about that...) If everyone else is recycling, and we are interested in "fairness," is it not only logical that Dear Leader shares the sacrifice a bit and does his most glorious part to recycle too?


Anyway, on a different subject, I understand the idea that we use a different unit of time in the glorious World of Next Tuesday. But I feel we need to rethink this a bit. We might be putting the Commissar of Time out of a job altogether. How can there be a need to redistribute moments and minutes when everything is simplified and we just have chours? And, while the glorious World of Next Tuesday will indeed bring us to a land of milk and subsidies, there still needs to be a ruling class to help keep the fair and equal progs, well, fair and equal. So, I vote that we save or create the job of the Commissar of Time. If necessary, when the glorious World of Next Tuesday comes, we should do a bail out of the current version of time.

Your thoughts, Comrades?

The Party has launched manned rockets on secret time travel missions to Next Tuesday. But so far the World of Next Tuesday is guarding its secrets well. It is such a wonderful paradise that not a single time traveling cosmonaut has returned alive. But these small technical setbacks will never stop the Party or our space exploration program to get socialism to The Glorious World of Next Tuesday first!

Well, Comrade Otis, we must tell the people that the time travelers simply could not stand the thoughts of returning to this dreadful KKKAPITALIST world here and waiting it out until the glorious World of Next Tuesday comes along. Afterall, it would only make sense. If you had a world where the rich get richer™ vs. a world where the government takes care of everything and they just tax the rich™ to pay for it all so nobody else has to work, who wouldn't want that? And this is what the useful idiots proles have been promised if only they would cheerlead for support our cause. So, just make up some notes they sent back telling us they can't return because they can't wait™ until the glorious world of Next Tuesday.

Come to think of it, has anyone heard from dear Comrade Laika recently?

Well, let's just hope next Tuesday doesn't fall on a Wednesday! it could, ya know, what with Leap Year and all! Here's hopin'!

A terrifying possibility, Pamalinkski, and we should, indeed, be prepared for such confusilations.

I suspect that 7.62 will be able to do some temporal manipulations as necessary (anyone seen him lately?) but - being a former Boy Scout - I must say that it's best to be prepared (for anything, these days).

I know, ROCK! I just don't know where to draw the line and decide "i'm prepared now!" Very hard decision, especially when the lines of the law are loosely drawn!

Pamilinski..... THERE IS NO LINE !

My Honey brought me home the BEST GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! Excellent! Coconut, chocolate thingys! Can't eat just one! Superb!

Here's where I, Pamalinsky, draw the line! : • ) <off>: (not)

Perhaps this piece of oriental wisdom will explain more:

Big government is like a thousand foot fishing line with a hook, but efficiency is always an inch beyond the hook. Every time you realize this, Obama wants you to believe that the government must grow an inch bigger.

Comradressdsess Pamalinsky,

Should we on the Cube be anticipating any randomly verbose lists or commentaries emanating from you this fine evening ?

It is, after all, Friday night !

Some people just know how to have a good time on Friday night.

Let's hope she thought ahead earlier today and got herself a designated typist !

Or perhaps she went with Red Square's favorite while on speaking tours : Pre-paid bail.

Aw, jeez, Kraz and Tovi, I'm so sorry I missed you guys! I just love playing with you!

I did a "hit-and-run" on that last post, just to let Red Square know I'm in his corner.

Re: "Randomly verbose lists", et. al. Um, YOU should talk!

My posts are friggin' Haiku compared to the verbose, run-on rants both of you posted on Commissar Redumdimski's Occupy the USSA!

Five, yes five whole pages of run-on sentences and rants! All of which I loved and tuned in to cheer you on!

You know, guys, when I first arrived here on The Cube™ I was dumbstruck at the profound humor and sincerity of purpose I read, and belly-laughed my way through it. I knew right away I wanted to play with these "Cubers."

I was determined to do so, even though I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. I knew, for me, I had to just write my way through it. Very much like a dog, who is constrained by his owner with electronic shocks every time he goes beyond the perimeter, the perimeter being my own ignorance, and barges through it anyway!. I wanted, so dearly, to play with the people I admired, which includes you.

At the beginning I was hard-pressed to separate by commentary from my Kommentary. I was so upset with what was happening to us all, I just couldn't do it! Father Prog Theo was my mentor, and saw this in me. He let me know I was just going through my initiation and, all would work itself out.

It has! And, I am so happy! I am nuts about you guys!

P'sky/ X!

Run on sentence? Who, Me? Krasno?

Dearest P-ski, Redumdiptick was the master of the run-on, aimless, diatribe. What did that get him? I think "Standing Room Only" in a boxcar...

Missed you, glad you're back.

Well, Tovi, you have to admit it did get Redumdi 5 whole pages of traffic! That's pretty awesome! Common! I know you like the guy. In fact, I think you are in kahooties with him! Which is fine with me, because it transferred to my post, which netted 3 pages! Unheard of for me! I ain't complainin'! X!p.s. I missed you, too!

Love, here on the Cube™
Like respect, a little rare
Haiku: even more

Comrades, I can see it from here! I can see it! President Biden will bring us to The Glorious World of Next Tuesday. It will have ice cream too. I can see it! I can see....

<Sorry, Comrades, Comrade Films has died of anticipation. (A concerned citizen.)>
