From Chief to Ball

Before they met Chen Jian, they had already had this idea. As the saying goes, flies don’t bite seamless eggs. It wasn’t Chen Jian who pulled them over, but they approached spontaneously and were influenced by Chen Jian’s three views. .

As for their motivation for coming over, Chen Jian felt that it was a disease of the progressive upper class and intellectuals.

Although it is hard to say clearly that everyone is gay now, Chen Jian is still convinced that the reason why these people joined the Progressive League in the first place was a mentality of atonement.

Confronted with the increasing injustices of the republic, these well-educated people have a sense of guilt.

They think that people like themselves who are "elegant and cultured, and have a wealthy and prominent family background" are bought by the majority of people being bullied, enslaved and miserable.

One's own grace and knowledge are a contrast and a foil to the fact that most people are not entitled to their education and unable to live the life they do.

As a result, they have a mentality of atonement, a mentality of atonement and repayment for social progress and fairness, a distorted sense of mission and a pathological sense of responsibility brought about by atonement and repayment.

Because they know the filth of the upper class, witnessed how their fathers made money, and read the old books left by Chen Jian at the beginning of the founding of the country, a residual progressive alliance was born from this. motivation.

Just as Hulin wrote Dream City in a helper's short shirt after leaving home, and was completely disillusioned after witnessing the suppression of the Hegu uprising; just as Lan Qi was as approachable as possible in the capital and manor, and sacrificed her life to organize rescue after the outbreak of the smallpox plague, In order to retaliate against those who think of moral inheritance, they raised two wolf cubs... All of these are supported by this mentality of atonement and repayment.

If Chen Jian hadn't intervened, and the development of the group of young people in the Republic had continued, a strange moral philosophy might have emerged.

Nietzsche said that there are two kinds of morality: those who are independent and brave are called aristocratic morality; those who are humble and obedient are called slave morality.

And if this group of people does not think that morality, humanity and sociality are related to social forms, and sticks to the original mentality of atonement, they will definitely rush to another broad road, which is likely to be: aristocratic sentiments, aesthetics, philosophy, and upper-class culture. , everyone should pull themselves to the lowest moral level, and no one should have a sense of superiority.

What Chen Jian wants is enlightenment. Enlightenment requires someone to go ahead to enlighten others. After learning the methodology, everyone will be leveled. Varies with society and time.

If this group of people from ten years ago matured naturally and started to be enlightened, the direction might be that no one should walk in front of anyone else, and they should level off at the lowest point, thinking that only in this way can true equality and republic be achieved.Any existence of superiority is sinful and violates the republican tradition at the beginning of the founding of the country, and they will not realize that morality and human nature are changeable.

The two look alike, but in fact they are completely different. This can easily confuse some people, and it will become the biggest underlying resistance in the process of progress. It is easy to be used by those who want to carry a black flag to fight against the black flag.

Therefore, the Enlightenment Movement here can only rely on the derivation of the three disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology, and worship science through overcorrection, instead of relying on progressive upper-level philosophy and retro reflection, which is too easy to go astray.

This is at the ideological level, and when implemented in specific reform policies, it reflects the differences between the two mainstream ideologies within the Mexican party—the scientific reasoning school and the populist utopian school.

It is normal to have factions within the party, and the realistic material conditions and economic foundation also determine that the utopian faction is still very provocative.

In addition to factions within the party, there are more factions and careerists, and they are the most vigilant enemies.

Just like the concept of "socialism" in another sense based on collective ethnicism caused by the emergence of the theory of evolution, these four-character hats are now golden crowns that everyone wants to put on their heads, especially It is those old aristocrats and conservative forces and power families.

Chen Jian would not be surprised if someone from a powerful family stood up and said he was a socialist.

Even after these theories spread to the outside world, the Russian tsars, French kings, and Swedish kings shouted that they were true socialists, which was quite normal.

Maybe the Tsar Ruiwang and the like will establish a lower-level Duma of the country without the participation of nobles and capitalists, pretending to represent the interests of the proletariat and the lower-level peasants, and resolutely oppose the bourgeois-democratic revolution.

Now if someone stands up and says: You see, capitalism is bad. It pulls people into the abyss of poverty, sweeps away the old morality, farmers lose their land, and workers become impoverished day by day.So you must not follow the bourgeoisie to make a fuss about equality, democracy and the New National People's Council like Min County. Let me be the king, okay?

If I become a king, I will realize real socialism, and I will get rid of the barriers of classes—from the perspective of evolution and natural history, we are all human beings, so how can there be any class?

How to achieve it?You give me the supreme power to restore the old tradition, take back the land purchased by the capitalists and distribute it equally to everyone, and we will popularize love and morality in the original leasehold manor, and let them charge less rent; when purchasing goods, Give priority to your small handicraft industries, provide interest-free loans, and curb the power of capital; return to the era when land was not allowed to be bought and sold, everyone has a small piece of land that can make a living; dissolve the election of the national council, and the king appoints the council Open a road for small farmers and small producers to go directly to the capital to file a complaint. If there is any injustice, I will set up a secret police to help you deal with landlords and capitalists.

My lord, I must go beyond class and represent the interests of real and real people.I am neither on the side of the capitalists, nor on the side of the proletarians, nor on the side of the landed aristocracy, nor on the side of the tenant farmers.I only stand on the side of people's interests. I want to build a republic of Chinese people without class transcending class. Those who charge too much rent and exploit too much will be punished and given moral education, so as long as the education can keep up, socialism based on people can be realized within 20 years.

Look at the current propaganda of the Mexican Party, which is both class and struggle. It is obviously destructive, and it is sowing class rifts among the people of the country.

As long as you don't believe in what they say, then classes don't exist at all.

What they say makes sense, and they are also opposed to capitalism, so in fact, it is a good thing that our technology is backward now, so let's just skip the bloody and dirty capitalism.

Do you think it's okay?

Hired workers, tenant farmers, and petty bourgeois on the verge of bankruptcy, thought that this was not a bad idea?

Look at how scary capitalism is, forcing the petty bourgeois to go bankrupt soon; the land of tenant farmers is being bought by operating landlords and capitalists, and they cannot survive; It is also good that a king with the highest authority and Lord Qingtian come to curb these abominable and cannibalistic capital.

If you can evenly distribute the land, restrict large factories, fully restore the handicraft industry, curb the profit-seeking businessmen and capitalists, restore the pastoral feelings, and the great nobles and landlords have good education. Morality and love, isn't that great?

Maybe when these people hear it, they will win Liangjing from the food pot, cut wood into the saddle, and get off the horse, shouting long live the empire, and pushing an emperor who claims to be an arbiter, so as to realize the "true" emperor. of "socialism".

Chapter 85 Three Principles of Cooperation

Therefore, it seems that everything is perfect, and the Mincheng County Council has won the initiative, and the capitalist production mode has also begun to be established in Mincheng.

But if you think about it carefully, walking is difficult, and there are big pits where you can fall to pieces.

Min County is a model, and it is still a model that relies on technological monopoly to absorb the blood and sweat of the national market and overseas markets. If it can't survive the throes of capital budding, then the whole country will be even less.

On the fourth day of the debate on the land issue, Lan Qi gave a report on "The Similarities and Differences of Land Systems in Europe, Asia, and the Republic", and Qiao Tiexin gave a report on "On the Issue of Dominance".

Chen Jian also made a report entitled "The Bottom Line of Participating in the Power Construction of the New Council under the Conditions of Seeking Common Ground while Reserving Differences at the Present Stage", which can be regarded as announcing the trend of his faction: he gave up direct radical struggle and completely broke with the new council of Min County Instead, it adopted a policy of reunifying the remaining parties of the Progressive League to carry out reforms in Min County.

But giving up the direct radical struggle does not mean giving up the struggle. The bottom line is that the legitimacy of the existence of the Mexican Party pickets must be recognized by the new council of Min County.

If this is not recognized, then the Mexican party will announce that it does not agree with the new council of Min County, and will not hesitate to break up the uprising and go deep into the countryside and rely on Mincheng to fight against all old forces.

Hold the gun in your hands, unite the rest of the Progressive Alliance parties and participate in the political struggle of the new council in Min County, while maintaining your own independence, actively participate in the formation of the new council in Min County, and do not give up any legal means to fight for the interests of the employees Opportunity.

Promote the establishment of the new council of Min County to establish a "law police to maintain the implementation of the county council's laws and regulations", supervised by various parties participating in the county council, and maintain the implementation of the county council's laws and regulations.The Mexican Party came forward to help form it, making it a non-mercenary army, but an army loyal to the people's authority... an army named "judicial police" that does not violate the major laws and regulations of the Republic.

In fact, this is an army, and it is led by public officials paid by the county council and nominally elected by the county council, but it is a battered army that will definitely be infiltrated inside.

Whether it is the military academy disguised as a civil navigation school, or the way to enroll into the "military academy" through examinations, it has been controlled by the Mexican Party for these years.I dare not say that every young person who enters is a black element, but the gray element is inevitable, including some radical young people who participated in the anarchist uprising last time. They also grew up in those schools.

The picket team of the Mexican Party is not affiliated to this army disguised as a bailiff, but an independent civil association organization. Usually playing with guns is only used to learn "hunting", and no one said that hunting is not allowed.Moreover, there is a place like Turtle Island, where off-the-job training can be carried out. Anyway, not organizing an army in the country is a gray area that exploits loopholes.

Under the arquebus system in the old days, civil associations could not fight against the army at all, so there was no law saying that associations were not allowed to own guns, only private people were not allowed to own armor that was not allowed.

According to the law of the old days, guns were allowed, not arquebuses.Allowing guns naturally includes allowing flintlocks.If it was originally stipulated that matchlock guns are allowed, then whether flintlock guns are allowed is a new issue. Half of the discussions are enough, and it can be passed with a little manipulation and hard work; This law or even changing this law requires the consent of more than two-thirds of the people, which is not so easy in the national council meeting in the capital.

Many laws in the old era had loopholes to exploit and were not perfect.

This loophole exploited is one of the bottom lines for the Mexican party to participate in the county council, which means that the Mexican party supports the bourgeois democratic revolution, but even if it does not have the leading power, it must obtain the power of an independent organization.

If the county council agrees, then let’s talk about a compromise, at least insist on supporting farmers and workers, insist on fairness, democracy, freedom and equality, which everyone agrees on, so that we will help you one day when you make troubles.

If you don’t agree or compromise, then everyone will break up and we will withdraw from the county council. We just oppose your capitalism’s throes, and we can change from segmented revolutionaries to populist equalizers with hard work.

Discussing the rural issue first at the meeting is to let the county council and other parties see the differences within the party, and let them know that the Mexican party is walking a tightrope. It is really urgent and there is no basis for cooperation. It will pull the team to fight every minute, by the way And radicalize those internal swingers who are delusional about you.

The second bottom line is to temporarily support the county council under the existing property-weighted voting rights system, but the council members of the Mexican party must put forward a proposal for equal rights every year, and there is a county council that thinks this property is weighted at any time would be unreasonably recognized.

In other words, if everyone cooperates now, we will use legal means to propose proposals every year, and it doesn’t matter if you veto it every year, we will just turn a blind eye and close one eye.As long as you cooperate, we conclude that you still have a chance to pass.

But one day everyone doesn't cooperate, then we may come to another conclusion, and you can't pass it.Now that it has been said that this is unreasonable, we do not think that such a county council is reasonable, legal and in line with the republican tradition - the reason why we black people agree with this county council is not that this county council is reasonable, but because of this It is possible for county councils to become reasonable, but when that possibility has not materialized, we object.

What we support is not the county council at this time, but a truly democratic county council that may bring about progress and transformation at this time, but the county council at this time happens to be the closest to the future .

Just like we protect green peaches and pick off the worms in order to get ripe peaches, when the peaches are not ripe one day when frost is about to fall, we will definitely choose to pick the peaches and cover them with quilts Ripe.Our allegiance is the three words "ripe peaches", not the five words "protect green peaches".
