Valentine's Day is here, and the author has reached the age of blind date and marriage urging during the day.

So, I decided to code the words well and not ask about the world.

London's rainy weather is finally coming to an end, and the gradually clearing skies are making Garion happy. Working as an editor in a newspaper is easier and you don't need to work overtime into the evenings like a worker. When he returned, Balanchi prepared a meal for himself and chatted like a newlywed.

When he wasn't at work, Garion went to the next door to have tea and chat with Marx, and the previous joke of sending you to see Marx finally became a reality, just living to chat with him.

As a native of the Rhine, I seem to have adapted to the afternoon tea in the UK, and in the moments of small talk, I will talk about my previous life.

Before his revolutionary friend Graces had not provided him with living funds, Marx lived at 28 Dean Street, a depressed, dirty neighborhood. At that time, it was a three-story building, and Marx's family of seven lived in two rooms on the top floor, where they spent more than five years of hard work. Due to the cold climate and lack of food, three of Marx's children died here one after another.

Garion recalls what he had seen in The Times, and vividly described Marx's tragic situation at that time.

"Marx lived in one of the worst and, therefore, cheapest parts of London. He had two modest rooms, the one facing the street was the living room and the one at the back was the bedroom. None of the furniture in this entire house is clean and solid. ”

Many proletarian revolutionaries like Marx were unnamed until their deaths.

But the cause they fought for endures forever.

He took a slow sip of his tea and said slowly, "Fortunately, everything has passed, although we launched a revolution in Europe in 1848, but it failed due to lack of preparation. But according to the growing cries of the workers' movement in recent years, a new wave of mass workers' movement in Europe will soon be launched. ”

Garion leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment. Seeing his stunned state, Marx asked, "What's wrong?" Your Excellency Trotsky? ”

"Ah...... Nothing, I'm thinking about a question, a question that has been bothering me for a long time. ”

"Huh?"

Marx crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and asked, "What is the problem, tell me about it?" ”

"But after the defeat of the revolutionary movement of 1848, European capitalism was developing rapidly, and now the world market has been formed, and the relations between the capitalist countries are becoming more and more international. ”

Marx looked at him with a smile, a little surprised in his heart, and he felt that the words that came out of the young man's mouth overlapped with some of his thoughts, and he appreciated it all the more.

"At the same time, the oppression of working people around the world is intensifying, and the resistance of the proletariat and oppressed people is intensifying, just like the workers' movement in Lyon before it. The practice of the struggle against oppression and exploitation has made the proletariat of all countries realize that they have common interests and common enemies, that they have often suffered the same defeat in the scattered struggles of the past, and that the proletariat must unite on an international scale and use the international unity of the proletariat against the international unity of the bourgeoisie. Gradually build a company! ~Congestivist country. ”

Marx sat on his knees, listened to Garion say this, and said with emotion, "I thought His Excellency Trotsky was a bourgeois republican, but I didn't expect ......."

Garion shook his head and said, "Many people, like me, embarked on this road of expulsion and came to London with the belief that the people would rise together and the world revolution would rise. They are all here to find the truth. Like Blanqui, who was expelled, and me. In the bourgeois republicans, I am their ally, but before the proletarians I am their cordial comrade. Not just out of sympathy, but also out of sympathy"

"So?"

"So I think that such as Germany, Great Britain, France, Holland, etc. ~Give birth! ~The proletariat should be united to form an organization that transcends the world, an international workers' federation, to better promote the tide of the world revolution......"

Garion looked at Marx in front of him, and the other party looked at him like he saw a like-minded friend.

"Your Excellency Trotsky, I have been thinking about this proposal for a long time, but the internal voices have not been unified, so it has been delayed for a long time."

In fact, for the future international movement, Garion has always held a pessimistic view of "knowing what cannot be done".

"Going to the company! ~ The Communist State will one day change color, stand in the camp of the bourgeoisie, become imperialism, dominate the world, exploit others, invade others, and the people of the world will be with the Communist Party 1~ The Protocratic International should put on the hat of imperialism, expose it, oppose it, and fight it together with the people. ”

Shaking his head, he put aside all the outdated ideas and continued, "There is no need to achieve complete unity, you just have to set a target, and everyone will naturally come together. ”

Gallian calmly pointed out the first goal of the moment, "such as the Proudhonists who oppose the preservation of private property in the first place......"

Before Garion could finish speaking, there was a knock on Marx's door, temporarily interrupting the conversation between the two.

Marx signaled to be out of company, got up and walked to the door and opened it, only to see Trotsky's lover standing in the doorway, looking anxious.

"What's wrong? Mrs. Hepburn? So nervous? ”

Marx quickly made way for her and asked, "Why don't you come in and sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”

"No, no."

Balanchi shook her head, and she said to Garion, who was walking towards her, "Oh no. ”

"What's going on? My dear. ”

Gary was relieved, thinking that the Parisian government had noticed his tracks. It was the worst he had ever done, and he left London immediately without any luggage.

Garion asked very cryptically, "Could it be that they are here?" ”

However, what Mrs. Balanchi said next surprised him greatly.

Balanchi took his hand and said, "No, no, it's the editor-in-chief of The Times who came to visit him and said he had come to look for you." ”

"Looking for me?"

Garian was very surprised, he had never had anything to do with the Times, why he would suddenly come to him.

"I heard him say that he had a question about an article you wrote, and I want to talk to you."
