The People's Cube - Political Satire

My dear fellow travelers:

While the capitalists make fortunes off Bitcoin and other similar products, it is time to prove the innate superiority of socialism by releasing our own cryptocurrency. I give to you Comrade Coin!

Unlike reactionary capitalist coins, Comrade Coin is not created by greedy miners exploiting the masses through superior computer technology. No, Comrade Coin is created according to the means and needs of the individual. It will be the first centrally planned decentralized virtual currency. You will be able to use it to purchase your bread and potato ration, or to bribe officials pay taxes. In fact, Comrade Coin will allow as robust and equal economy as that in Venezuela!

How do you get Comrade Coin? As long as you toil in socialist labor, you will be rewarded with Comrade Coin, and will be allowed to spend it on State approved purchases, and permitted to retain it as long as you wish, as it will not be transferable to anything else.

It is expected we will enjoy the new socio-economic benefits of Comrade Coin sometime next Tuesday.

Thank Marx! I've been feeling left out. Finally a Ponzi Scheme for Progs. Where do I sign up?

An excellent idea, Comrade!

All of those komputers churning out the long, complex calculations for climate models cryptocurrencies cause Global Warming.

With Comradecoin™, no calculations are necessary. Since everyone is Equal, an Equal Sign is the only calculation needed.

This is true Progressive progress.

Please Comrade. What is the symbol for Comradecoin™?

Why, something that looks like a "C" of course. Perhaps...a sickle?

Yes, that's it! Needs something else though... hmmm...

Our Karl Marx Treatment Center has already minted these coins in the past, but I guess they weren't cryptic enough. Oh well, back to the drawing board...

And then there was this economic stimulus note in the amount of 0 TYS...

Such a great idea!
I bet, it will empower the Kollektive to (again!) gourmandize on that famous post-1945 diet.
