- you intend angry with silly parables. I know all about his own father, Pavel Isaev told me about him, I said I was a dictator, that everyone hated him until his sharecroppers themselves killed. You think that, like his father and you hated each other, the history of the world will be just the history of wars fought between parents and children. You do not understand the meaning of the revolution. The revolution is the end of everything old, including parents and children. It's the end of the succession of dynasties. And constantly renewed, if true revolution. With each new generation, the old revolution is invalidated and the story starts again. This is the new idea, the truly new. Year One. FreeCell. Everything is reinvented, everything is erased and reborn: the law, morality, family, everything. All prisoners are released, all crimes are forgiven. The idea is so great that you not understood, nor understood by those of his generation. Rather, you understand too well, and seeks to stifle it in its cradle.
- Where's the money? When you forgive the crimes, is redistribute the money?
"Much more than that. Occasionally, when you least expect it people, said that the existing money is worthless and issue a new currency. That was the mistake of the French, allowing the old money in circulation continued. The French did not make a revolution, because they have the courage to go through. Liquidated the aristocracy, but did not eliminate the old way of thinking. In our schools will teach the thinking of the people itself, which has been repressed during this time. Everyone will go back to school, including teachers. Farmers will be the teachers, and teachers will become students. In our schools we new men and women at all. All reborn with a new heart.
- And God? What does God think of all this?
The young man laughs of pure joy.
- God? God will be green with envy.
"So you believe in God.
- Of course! What sense would not believe? The same would set fire to everything, turn the world into ashes. No, go before God, we will present ourselves standing before the throne, we will call. And come! Will have no choice but to listen. And then finally we will all be together on a equal footing!
- And the angels?
-Angels will form circles around us singing the hosanna. The angels will be charmed. They too will be free to walk the earth as footmen.
- And the souls of the dead?
- How much do you question! The souls of the dead, Surety Mikhailovich, also if you like. The souls of the dead will walk the earth, of course. If so it seems, Pavel Isaev. What we can do is limitless.
