- Over 200 amendments to the Constitution
- Everyone is equal, but at what costs
- Personal regulations, but no economic regulations
- People confuse Communism with Socialism, so they also confuse the purpose of the story
Politicians use Vonnegut's story to support Capitalism, so they are using Vonnegut's own story against him. His story can be easily misinterpreted, so if his purpose was to spread the views of Socialism then he has failed. However, readers who understand the true meaning of the story can appreciate Vonnegut's satire.
Rush's 2112 tells a dystopian story of a totalitarian state in the future. The red star on the album cover is an allusion to Communism, and the ending is up for interpretation. The computers that fill the hallways of the walls of the temple show the merging of technology and religion.
