ALL WE OWN, WE OWE
With the collapse of American power and influence across what remains of the globe, the Soviet Union reigns supreme as the only superpower (unless you count China, and China is half a superpower at best). From the icy fields of Kamchatka to the green hills of Eire, from frigid Murmansk to tropical South Africa, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics controls more than half of the world’s land mass. Much of the remainder is dismal Saharan desert or blighted lonely isle; none can resist the forceful pull of Soviet culture!
ALL WE OWN, WE OWE
Rationalists, men and women of science, the leaders of the USSR reject the concept of “magic” as absurd superstition. Fear the power of Americans over your dreams, and you risk yielding them power over your waking life. Magic is merely another face of religion, that pack of lies which keeps the masses under the thumb of a privileged elite. In the glorious communist utopia that is the USSR, there is no magic. There is no need for magic.
ALL WE OWN, WE OWE
However, in these bright dawning days, our ranks swell with the scienticians and theographers represent the brightest flames of Russia’s long history of philosophy, rationalism, and scientific inquiry. Rapidly they uncover new truths, truths long-hidden and understudied, about the world and the place of the reasoning man within it. The new field of study is called Psi by some, Soviet Magic by CIA propagandists, and Spatial Theory by its practitioners. It is the USSR’s powerful and inescapable answer to the challenge raised by the deceitful American shamans with their grotesque parlor-tricks. The Expanded Men and Expanded Women who have mastered Spatial Theory selflessly dedicate their lives to the greater service of the People, traveling within and without the boundaries of the Republics to promote health, safety, and orthodoxy.
Spatial Theory rejects the notion that anything is any distance from anything important to it; indeed, that anything is a separate ontological entity from anything important to it.
As Comrade Khrushchev is in all our hearts simultaneously, so too we are all in the heart of our peerless leader, and by extension we all share a single heart, a glorious “heart of the people” that cannot fail or die or fail to beat, a single unstoppable engine of circulation with billions of chambers pumping billions of gallons of blood. So long as he remains connected to the will of the people, an Expanded Man cannot be injured or damaged: the wounds and illnesses disperse throughout the collective, diluted and made harmless to each individual body.
Spatial Theory rejects the notion that anything is any distance from anything important to it; indeed, that anything is a separate ontological entity from anything important to it.
As is one, so are others. Orthodox Spatial Theory denies the concept of distance between two locations of like function and form. Every library, every schoolhouse, every hospital, every airport is connected to every other. Only the criminal confidence games of American shysters and capitalist fat cats convince the poor worker otherwise. They take the worker’s money for “gasoline” and “transport costs,” an enormous scam draining the coffers of the working class worldwide. The Expanded Man knows that all are as one, and may step easily from Heathrow International Airport outside London to Tokyo International Airport or elsewhere. There is only one airport.
Spatial Theory rejects the notion that anything is any distance from anything important to it; indeed, that anything is a separate ontological entity from anything important to it.
Importance is in the mind of the observer, and the mind of the Expanded Man is the mind of a powerful and well-trained observer. What is important to us is ours, by definition within Spatial Theory. To make use of that claim to ownership is to command the fealty of the owned thing, to act at a distance. Ownership is a function of the body; truly no one but you can own your arms. So too it is with your possessions. The Expanded Man claims ownership, taking according to his need and providing according to his ability: he commands the motion of distant objects to follow his mental commands as surely as a worker commands his own feet. To understand a thing is to know how to destroy it; the Expanded Man may burn away owned objects, always according to his need.

THREE EXPANDED MEN
Leon — Leon is tall and nervy. He wears horn-rimmed glasses and a badly-fit black suit. His hair is in a pompadour, and he has a long wispy goatee and mustache. He neither drinks nor smokes. Leon looks like Gary Busey as Buddy Holly as Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu as Trotsky. He speaks every language, including Sanskrit, Hmung, Aramaic, and Enochian, with a Russian accent.
Joe — Joe is small and angry. He wears a badly-fit gray suit with a Mandarin collar, hair slicked back. He has a walrus mustache, and acne. He drinks. Joe looks like Joe Pesci as George C. Scott as Stalin. He speaks Russian, and English with a Russian accent.
John — John is of average height and serene. He wears rimless round glasses and a badly-fit black suit. He is clean-shaven, but his haircut is slightly shaggy. He smokes, but not just tobacco. John looks like John Lennon as John Lennon in a bad Vladimir Lenin disguise. He speaks Russian, and English with a Liverpool accent.
