The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

"Mr. Marn, the workers in the shipyard live worse than the serfs in the Deya Kingdom." After hearing what Lacus said, a surge of anger surged in Marn's heart.

This is easy to understand. It has been explained before that serfs are at least private property. Even nobles would not mess around with their private property too much. But workers are not the same. In the eyes of capitalists, they are not even cattle or horses.

At this time, other members of the investigation also returned, and they also reported to Marne some of the information they had found about the port of Genoa.

The prosperity of the Kingdom of Italy in the port of Genoa was only an appearance. Looking beyond the appearance to the essence, one can understand what a sinful place this is, where workers have no guarantees whatsoever.

The workers in the shipyard are still relatively lucky, because after all they have mastered some skills. The workers in other places who rely on selling their labor are truly living in hell.

The workers who were carrying the goods were all skinny, with their skinny bodies forming a sharp contrast with the heavy goods. There were also supervisors holding whips beside them. Unfortunately, even if they worked hard all day, the wages they took away might not be enough to cover the value of any of the goods they carried.

Compared with the entire oppressed population of the Kingdom of Italy, these oppressed workers were relatively lucky; at least they had a job to make a living.

According to the situation that Daomei investigated, the whole situation might be even more serious. She was very skilled and daring, and she went straight through some forbidden areas of Genoa, which were separated slums.

Throughout the Kingdom of Italy, in every city, an area was set up that was not allowed to enter, which was where the slums were located. The poor of the entire kingdom were imprisoned in that area, which was also a form of intimidation.

By preserving such places, the city's controllers intimidate other workers into working for them. After all, if a job is lost, even if that job is extremely bad, then slums are what happens to workers who dare to resist.

Looking at the revolutionary comrades around him, Marx and Engels felt that many of their hands were trembling. At this moment, the greatest malice in the world was displayed without reservation in the eyes of everyone present.

Ma En knew what everyone was thinking because his anger was almost uncontrollable.

"When capital comes into the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filth." Marx and Engels thought of a sentence from their previous life, and the current situation is exactly the most true portrayal of it.

"Comrades, the current situation requires us revolutionaries to take action." Ma Engels said firmly to everyone.

Although what was happening was not in Marx and Engels' original itinerary, it was impossible for the revolutionaries to ignore such things. Facing difficulties head-on, this is the indomitable spirit of the revolutionaries.

Marx and Engels decided to stay in Genoa for a short period of time to investigate the problem and lay the groundwork for the revolutionary party's subsequent actions.

However, it would not be feasible to completely overthrow the exploiting class of the Kingdom of Italy in a short period of time. Although it was possible to win by concentrating the power of the revolutionary party in Italy, it was more likely to alert the enemy, which was also contrary to the revolutionary strategy formulated at the meeting.

After all, the Kingdom of Italy is one of the important member states registered with the World Government. It is not only one of the original 20 countries, but also a strategic fulcrum for the World Government to control the West Sea. Not to mention that the country still maintains a considerable industry, which is one of the basic bases for the Celestial Dragons' rule.

In Marx and Engels' view, the revolution in the Kingdom of Italy should be slow rather than hasty. The first thing to do now is to build up the Italian revolutionary party organization first. With a backbone, all subsequent actions can be better implemented.

The personnel of the Italian Kingdom Party organization were quickly decided. Marx and Engels also notified the base area using the Den Den Mushi and prepared a batch of supplies to support the Italian Revolutionary Party organization.

In addition to establishing a party organization, there is another thing that is of paramount importance, which is to mobilize the masses. This is also the basis for the victory of the revolutionary party. Only by coming from the masses and going to the masses, and with the support of the masses, can the revolution be victorious.

Marx and Engels decided to help the party organization here complete this task before leaving the Kingdom of Italy. It must be said that the strength of the reactionary forces in the Kingdom of Italy is still very strong. Only if the masses can be successfully mobilized can Marx and Engels temporarily leave with peace of mind.

Then, the revolutionaries stayed in Genoa for a few more days and conducted more in-depth research. At this time, everyone had a better understanding of the local situation in Genoa, and the first batch of supplies from the base area was about to arrive. Marx and Engels decided to speed up the process of uniting the masses.

During their research, the revolutionaries discovered class characteristics unique to the Kingdom of Italy. In the Kingdom of Italy, there was a rather special class that actually controlled the lower class of the entire kingdom.

That is the West Sea Mafia that the revolutionaries have long heard of. The revolutionaries discovered that the Italian Mafia is the purest, unlike the mafia in other kingdoms of the West Sea. This is indeed the case, and the entire West Sea Mafia originated from the Italian Kingdom.

The concept of "Mafia" originated from Maro, the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Its history may be hundreds of years old. After the Figallande family left Maro for Marijoa eight hundred years ago, the Mafia began to develop rapidly.

They started out as the government's black gloves, and even formed a large number of interest chains with many government officials. After the Ferrero family, which had close ties with the Mafia, replaced the Figarande family and became the royal family of the Kingdom of Italy, the Mafia flourished and then spread to most of the West Sea.

In Italy, the birthplace of the Mafia, the situation is even more serious. The Mafia manages the corners that the officials of the kingdom are unwilling to touch. In fact, they have become the thugs and lackeys of the exploiting class. By the way, the headquarters of the five major Mafia families are all in Maro.

Now, if the revolutionary party wants to mobilize the masses, the biggest obstacle is not the government, but the mafia that has in fact been managing the lower classes of society.

After learning that the opponent was the Mafia, Maan was relieved. Fortunately, this was not the worst case scenario. The Mafia seemed powerful, but it was still not worth mentioning in the face of the organized masses. Maan was worried about another situation.

As an important member country and also the Celestial Dragons' private territory, Italy, Marne is more worried about another notorious organization of the World Government, the CP Secret Service, than the Mafia. Compared with them, the Mafia is nothing.

However, according to current investigation results, the main enemy of the revolutionary party is still the mafia.

Generally speaking, since the World Government and even the Celestial Dragons have tacitly allowed the Mafia to develop grassroots forces in the Idelli Kingdom, there is no need for the CP organization to go to the trouble of placing spies in its own forces. Even if there are spies, they are probably placed in the middle and upper levels rather than in these corners.

This also gave Marx and Engels another peculiar idea, which was to develop a revolutionary organization under the nose of the Kingdom of Italy with the help of the Mafia.

After discussing with everyone, the plan was formally approved.

"It has been decided. The name we will use to develop in Genoa will be called the Mafia Fascist Faction." Marx and Engels passed this proposal at the meeting.
