Satire in "Harrison Bergeron"

Vonnegut: What do you think is being satirized in this story? from What So Proudly We Hail on Vimeo.

Just found this video via Twitter this morning--great timing, since we're talking about "Harrison Bergeron" today in class.  The video raises an intriguing question:  if Vonnegut was a socialist, is "Harrison Bergeron" really his attempt to show how socialism differs from--and is better than-- the America he envisions in his story? And if it is, does he ultimately succeed in achieving that goal, or have we come to view "Harrison Bergeron" instead as a cautionary tale about the dangers of equality?  What do you think?
