A young man named Raskolnikov decided that he was aboove human rules because he had the audacity and intellect to conceive of a relam beyond human rules.
He was endowed with a gift that was no one else's to ownthe gift of being able to hit someone with an ax.
So he hit a nasty old lady (probably a collectivist of some sort) in the head with an ax and took her gold.
He met a young collectivist prostitute named Sophia who tried to convince him to feel bad about himself. He rejected that terrible advice, but did enter into a contract for sexual services in exchange for some of his hard-earned gold.
A police inspector questioned the propriety of Raskolnikov's method of aquiring the gold. Raskolnikov pointed out that possession is nine tenths of the law and that he clearly possessed the gold, and that the parasitic police inspector was merely jealous of Raskolnikov's genius, having not thought of the kill-people-for-their-money idea himself.
Raskolnikov invested the rest of the gold in something very clever and became the richest man in the world.
THE END.
