Mao Zedong, dressed in his iconic grey suit, sits in a modern café, sipping tea. Suddenly, Jesus walks in, wearing a simple robe and sandals. He orders a glass of water… which, moments later, turns into wine.
Mao: ("Raises an eyebrow") That’s quite the trick. But wine? A true revolutionary should drink tea, not indulge in capitalist pleasures.
Jesus: ("Chuckles") My friend, I bring people together with love, not revolutions.
Mao: Love? Love does not liberate the oppressed masses! Only class struggle can!
Jesus: ("Smiles") But what good is a revolution without love? Shouldn’t the rich and poor live as brothers?
Mao: ("Sips tea") The rich will never share willingly. The state must take what is needed and distribute it.
Jesus: ("Leans forward") But is force truly justice? I taught people to give freely, to love even their enemies.
Mao: ("Laughs") If you turn the other cheek, the oppressor will simply slap it, too. The only way forward is to overthrow the oppressors!
Jesus: ("Nods") And then? The oppressed become the new rulers, and the cycle begins again. True change comes from within.
Mao: ("Pauses") Perhaps… but can a man’s soul fill his stomach?
Jesus: ("Smiles") And can a full stomach replace an empty soul?
Mao stares at his tea. Jesus takes another sip of his wine. The café falls silent as two of history’s most powerful figures sits and talk till the sun goes down.
