The Equalists are clearly based off of Asian Communists like Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung. Just as the Communists emphasized overthrowing the capitalist establishment, so too do the Equalists emphasize overthrowing the bending establishment. Both insist on achieving equality without specifying exactly what it means; Communists justified all sorts of brutalitily and luxurious hypocrisy in the name of equality. The propaganda poster during the Equalist meeting in "The Revelation" has the rays of the sun coming out of Amon's hand, much in the same way that Communist propaganda posters depicted the rays of the sun coming out of Mao's and Kim's faces. Finally, the way the benders were made to kneel and be humiliated before the crowd is very similar to the way that "rightists" were made to kneel and be humiliated during Communist Struggle Sessions.
