Harrison Bergeron. And yes, Amon's movement is a parallel of communism.

That actually makes me really curious as to where this is going, because clearly Amon (and metaphorically, communism) will be defeated in the end. The question is, by what means? Will Bryke do it the same way a real-world nation has tried to "defeat" communism, or will they pull out something entirely new?

Also, the Equalists' point is still valid. The city is out of balance, what with the emphasis on homelessness, organized crime, and poverty we have seen so far. Bolin and Mako are struggling to pay the bills; we know this isn't right. Somehow, Korra will fix it by the end of the series.

But how? How will she defeat the Equalists and still bring social and economic equality to Republic City? If Korra is going to defeat the metaphor of communism, then what solution will Bryke lend to the rampant inequality (not just the benders vs. non-benders thing) that permeates the whole setting?

Things like this make me think that this series will be far more fantastic than anyone even anticipates. Also, we may learn a lot from this, as Bryke are likely providing political commentary on the situation of the real world today.
