The lieutenant is downplaying his contribution -- he got up before sunrise to get this done. And now he's quite pleased with himself for taking care of the gruesome business so efficiently.
There is little condescension in his phrasing, more measured curiosity.
Aren't taxes almost non-existent in the Gossamer State that is Revachol?
Of course you do! You are failure, you are Communism. Absolutely vanquished, beaten, curb-stomped, shat on. While everyone else is out partying, having a callous laugh, you will reverse the fortune of the workers of the world.
Yes, you. Word on the street is you're ready to start building communism again!
Good. We need tender men like you building gargantuan communism. Word on the street is it's going to be ten thousand times larger than any communism previously attempted by human beings. Is that right?
Funky-style. Very funky. So tell me. Do you have any questions before we fire up the Big Communism Builder, or do we get right down to it?
Okay, not in so many words. But don't deny it. You're about to rip off that mask of social democracy and reveal the monstrous seven-eyed lamb of global communism that will devour and masticate mankind.
This conversation isn't really about love. Try to keep up, okay? This is about the communism you've promised to build. Word on the street is it's going to be ten thousand times larger than any communism previously attempted. Is that true?
You keep saying things like down with the bourgeoisie, eat the rich, sodomize the land-owners, impale all people who have more than 25 reál in their pocket, literally murder all human beings regardless of their political beliefs -- that kind of stuff.
Too late to back out now. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few million eggs!
So, what about all that communism you've promised to build? Word on the street is you've woken up from a thousand years of slumber, promising to erect a version of communism many times greater than any attempted before. Is that true?
Yes -- you're ready to start building communism again. You've built it before, they've built it before. Hasn't really worked out yet, but neither has love -- should we just stop building love, too?
Very well. I guess no one will build Communism then. Tell the working man it's over. Unless anyone has... objections?
Yes! Abject failure. Total, irreversible defeat on all fronts! Absolutely vanquished, beaten, curb-stomped and pissed on -- until you came along! You will reverse the fortune of the workers of the world.
