Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas?
By May, 1st, 1937, there should not be one single church left within the borders of Soviet Russia, and the idea of God will have been banished from the Soviet Union as a remnant of the Middle Ages, which has been used for the purpose of oppressing the working classes.
We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?
