The People's Cube - Political Satire

Comrades, news from our Friends™ in Communist China that is perplexing and presents somewhat of a conundrum, a mystery wrapped in an enigma, if you will:

The Chinese Communist Party is opposed to building the wall on the southern Border™ of the USSA as a Human Rights™ Abuse™: i.e. it is an Abuse™ of Human Rights™ to prevent people trying to escape Poverty™ from trying to escape Poverty™. Human Rights™ demands that the USSA must import as much Poverty™ as time allows.

However, the Chinese Communist Party is having problems with their ungrateful citizens crossing the Border™ into Communist Vietnam to escape Poverty™, creating an embarrassing situation for the CCP.

The Solution™: build a Border™ wall to prevent ungrateful citizens from being ungrateful.



This, of course, presents another problem. The CCP has a Border™ dispute with Vietnam over where the actual Border™ is. (This is a common problem that the CCP has with all of its neighbours) The Communist Vietnamese Government says the Border™ is where it has always been and the CCP says that Traditionally™ the Border™ has been somewhat closer to Saigon and perhaps even south of there. So, where to build the wall?

The other question that is raised here is that if both nations are communist, why aren't they willing to share?

Because, Comrade, although all Communist nations are equal, some are more equal than others, and greater equality results in unequal greatness, which weighs more on the People's Scales of Equality.

The inequality of the scale seems to indicate that Vietnam should accept more immigrants from China to even out the Scales of Equality™ but also that Vietnam is the minority in this assessment of Equality™ and has therefore been elevated to a higher position on the Scale of Equality™. Add to that that the CCP is refusing to allow Equalization™ of the Scale of Equality™ and Vietnam is resisting Equalization™ of the Scale of Equality™ and we have quite the conundrum. As I suggested previously, it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Perhaps we can find a Solution™ in the penumbra of Equality™.

The level of equality is a function of who operates the scales.

Ah! Yes, comrade. Practical Equality™ supersedes Theoretical Equality™. Although both are Equally™ legitimate considerations, one is more Equal™ than the other.
