In 1883, Karl Marx dies. As a godless commie, he is swiftly sent to Hell. After enduring the flames and torment for a while, he decides he's had enough. Gathering his fellow sufferers around him, he explains how their common situation cannot be worse and that they have nothing to lose in revolt.
Satan, sensing this rebellion, sends his demons to quell it before it can get properly underway. Marx eloquently breaks down the details of the demons' own exploitation at the hands of Satan, and they agree to join the revolution.
Faced with growing unrest and the betrayal of his minion's, Satan has no choice but to call Heaven for assistance. When St. Peter answers the phone, Satan explains the circumstances.
"...and since I've been lording over Hell going on seven thousand years now, I was wondering if God could do me a favour and take this guy Marx off my hands and into Heaven."
"Well," St. Peter replies, unsure. "This is highly unorthodox, but I'll see what the big guy says..."
God relents and soon after, an exception is made to allow Marx to enter into Heaven. With him gone, things in Hell settle down and revert back to normal. Satan heaves a sigh of relief.
Sometime later, however, Satan grows curious over how God is handling Marx up in Heaven. He calls back and St. Peter answers as before.
"Hey, it's me again." Satan says. "I just wanted to thank you guys for earlier and check how things were going. Could I speak to God for a minute?"
"Comrade," St. Peter replies solemnly. "there is no God."
