The People's Cube - Political Satire

Our comrade Mike from Argentina (the Ché Gubernia), who last year reported about the prototype of a People's Cube in the virtual world of Second Life, has sent us this new report:
===================================================

Comrades !

In the glorious month of October 2007, answering the call of the Party and the Motherland, the collective of Second Life gathered and built a monument to enshrine the supreme ideal of Equality of Results. And so the Virtual People's Cube was created, thanks to the hard labor of thousands of peasants, factory workers, and members of the unwashed masses. This historical event was documented in this post, which in turn was linked by the Kommisar himself.

Now,over a year after that event, and as a tribute to the glorious workers who gave their lives to build this monument, the People's Cube was displayed on parade on Second Life's own Red Square ! Behold the Priumph of the People's will !

Comrade Mike, from the Buró of Central Planning, poses here with the Cube (the cube is the one on the left).

Mavzoléy Lénina, the final resting place of the great Leader. He would have been proud of the human cost of building the Cube.

Here,embalmed and preserved for posterity, is the leader of the masses,whose indomitable spirit is a source of eternal inspiration for progressives worldwide. You can't take pictures inside the real-life mausoleum, but in Second Life that restriction was generously lifted by the Politburó.

Glory to the Second Life collective ! Glory to the fallen comrades ! Glory to socialism !.

Now go to the People's Cube, will ya ?

Comrade Red Square,

Is Cube like Phone Booth of Dr. Who?

Just colder inside?

Comrades,

Virtual reality Communism! Truly capitalism has sold us the reality rope with which we will virtually hang itself.

There are those comrades who, for want of complete understanding, utter such blasphemies as, "Communism would have worked but for Stalin/Mao/Pol Pot/etc." But now these glorious entities have passed, although--praise Marx!--they can be virtually resurrected. In Second Life Communism, the lack of human error--real or imagined--can only guarantee success.

Now where is the USB 2 cord to upload my brain to the collective?
