Central Planning Theatrics
Emory Dlamini’s masterpiece play, The War Cow, is coming to nation with the original cast in tow for a one-night-only performance. With hundreds of thousands of citizen wanting to attend, the Party’s Bureau of Central Planning are at a loss as to how to best allocate scarce luxury resources such as these tickets in the absence of free market mechanisms.
I’ve encountered with 5 choice
1. “We could just allocate these tickets randomly,” notes Kendall LeCarré, Party Undersecretary and amateur blindfold darts-player. “Every citizen in nation interested in seeing the play will have an equal chance of being awarded a non-refundable, non-transferable ticket to see this moo-ving production. You can’t say fairer than that.”
2. “But darling!” protests Per Sato, your flamboyant Junior Minister of Culture. “I love the theatre so much, and I really want to go see this play with my friends! What if only one of us wins this lottery? Where’s the fun in spending an evening with strangers? Why don’t we just move the venue? I’ve identified a great space on the outskirts of capital for a new stadium-sized drama venue. I’m sure everyone will be able to crowd in there once we clear the forest out of the way.”
3. “This again?” sighs Violet Armstrong, an overworked bureaucrat attached to the central planning committee. “Listen, here we are coming up with ever more ludicrous and expensive ways to resolve this dilemma, and as much as I hate to admit it, those decadent capitalists might have a point for once. It’s a limited resource with a high demand — perfect for the free market to sort out — so let it! Save us all a headache and start privatizing non-essential services.”
4. “Can’t you see? This is corrupt imperialism, covertly attacking our proud communist state!” shouts Red Army demagogue Cho Gibson, tearing an official souvenir stuffed cow to pieces. “We must not allow this or any capitalist production into our country, and must only allow wholesome socialist theatre. There’s never any conflict over ticket allocation for those plays!”
5. Dismiss the issue
Option 1. sounds nice so I choose it.
