Chapter 141 The characteristic revolutionary road of the British magic world

Lockhart looked at the book that Dumbledore handed over, on the cover was "The Chronicle of the French Revolution".

As the world's best memory magician, Lockhart has a good memory, but he doesn't remember buying the book for Dumbledore.

Seeing Lockhart's puzzled expression, Dumbledore suddenly showed a hint of complacency that he tried to hide but couldn't stop, and then said, "Don't think about it, these books are not the ones you gave me."

oh?Now Dumbledore actually started to buy Muggle books about revolution and read them. What a big improvement. Lockhart was thinking, and then he heard Dumbledore continue to say:

"This book was written by me. It has been published in the Muggle world, and it is selling well."

This.
Lockhart was suddenly a little speechless. Dumbledore's learning and acceptance speed is too fast. He has just been exposed to this aspect of thinking for a long time, and he can write a book by himself.

Immediately afterwards, Lockhart heard Dumbledore continue to say: "I have read all your books on how to revolutionize, and I also discovered a secret."

"What secret?" Lockhart suddenly became nervous.

"The books you bought for me, or the articles you wrote, are all biased towards the Soviet Union and China. It seems that you think these two countries are the orthodoxy of the revolution."

Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, if Dumbledore found out that he was a time traveler, it would be hard to explain.

"Isn't it? I think these two countries have developed rapidly after undergoing internal revolutions, and I think they are worthy of reference." Lockhart replied.

"Lockhart, the book you gave is great, and there is a truth in it, I think you are familiar with it." Dumbledore said, looking at Lockhart.

"What's the point?"

"No theory is omnipotent. It must be viewed in conjunction with the status quo. We must persist in seeking truth from facts and proceed from reality in everything."

"so?"

"So, I think that although the French Revolution failed, it is more informative than what happened in many other countries."

Lockhart had no problem with Dumbledore saying that, and he seemed to see the day when Dumbledore joined him in Azkaban.

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore told Lockhart about his own specific understanding of the French Revolution.

The French Revolution refers to the revolution that broke out in France on July 1789, 7. The Bourbon dynasty that ruled France for many centuries and the monarchy under it fell apart within three years.

France has undergone an epic transformation during this period: the past aristocratic and religious privileges have been continuously impacted by liberal political organizations and people who took to the streets to protest, and the old ideas have gradually been replaced by new democratic ideas such as natural human rights and separation of powers. replaced.

The ideological preparation before the French Revolution was the Enlightenment, which provided free revolutionary ideas for revolutions such as the French Revolution that overthrew the French old system.

Philosophers such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, Diderot, and Rousseau led the French to undergo an ideological transformation first, and ideas such as natural human rights, constitutional monarchy, separation of powers, and sovereignty in the people emerged as the times require, and are increasingly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.It was the grand occasion when the French Revolution broke out.

At the same time, class antagonisms were very serious in France at that time. Catholic priests, nobles, farmers and workers were divided into three completely different classes, and the antagonism was very obvious.

The symbolic event of the French Revolution was that on July 7, the masses captured the Bastille, a symbol of autocratic rule, and released seven prisoners, achieving an initial victory. This day later became the French National Day.

Lockhart also thought about his occupation of Azkaban.

法国大革命是一次非常彻底的革命，从1789年7月14日巴黎人民攻占巴士底狱到1830年7月革命，至此法国大革命才彻底结束。法国大革命历时41年，漫长而曲折。

In terms of its size, it is as violent as a storm.The masses of the people have shown great strength in the three uprisings, pushing the revolution forward at every turning point of the revolution.The masses of the people actively participated in the revolution, so that the revolution can be carried out thoroughly.

And the results are outstanding, ending the 1000-year autocratic monarchy in France, and initially establishing the political system of the Republic in France.It also swept away the authoritarian forces in France and created conditions for the French Industrial Revolution economically.

Lockhart quickly read the specially pointed pages in the book Dumbledore gave him, and then looked up at Dumbledore. Dumbledore said:
"Actually, the status quo of the magic world is very similar to France before the Great Revolution. After that, there was no king, but there were pure-blood families. The role of the Catholic priests who maintain order and are responsible for propaganda is actually very similar to the function of the Ministry of Magic."

"Perhaps you don't know that seven political prisoners came out when the French captured the Bastille. They were actually lucky, because the others were all killed by the king."

"It's the same in the magic world. If a wizard offends a pure-blood family, if I don't send these people to Azkaban, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive the subsequent tricks."

Lockhart looked at Dumbledore. Dumbledore's Occlumency was no less than Lockhart's, so Lockhart had no way to read Dumbledore's memory, and even if he did, he couldn't be sure whether it was true or not.

However, Lockhart still believed in Dumbledore. In his previous life, Lockhart also doubted Dumbledore when he was studying, but with the development of the plot, Dumbledore bravely sacrificed himself to make everything clear.

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang remained courteous.

Turns out Dumbledore was a noble man...
