Chapter 245: The Only Light
The second more
Although it is only a slogan, it highly summarizes the wishes and thoughts in the hearts of everyone, from the outbreak of the revolution to the defeat, all of us present have lost their dear comrades-in-arms, comrades who fought together. They are like islands surrounded by huge waves, fighting alone until another island appears.
Some people who were originally dismissive of the nobodies on the stage also began to look squarely at the man with a slight French accent in front of them. Bakunin and Proudhon whispered in the audience, wondering who this eloquent and well-imaged fellow was.
The people on the stage kept the brim of their hats down, and didn't seem to be too willing to let others see their faces.
"I seem to have seen this guy somewhere, but I can't remember. Not at a certain communist congress, not on that wanted poster, damn it, I just can't remember. ”
Proudhon had been busy with revolutionary work, so naturally he didn't pay attention to where he had seen Garion's appearance. In fact, the longest appearance of his appearance is the lace tabloid that publishes the peachy news of Parisian celebrities.
"Could it be some revolutionary leader who has never shown his face? I've never met him. ”
Bakunin, who had not returned to Paris since his expulsion from the French government, was curious about Gallien's identity, and both sides believed in their minds that the man standing on the podium must be the leader of some secret revolution, and perhaps even a veteran of the three revolutions in Europe in 1948.
The people in the audience were calm on the surface, but they had already guessed about Garion's identity in their hearts. After all, in this grand meeting of the revolutionary party, everyone wanted to become leaders and put their own line and ideas in the position of the program.
Marx smiled at the corners of his mouth, and although it was a temporary decision to bring Garion to power, this whim had an unexpected effect.
From the specter of communism to the united proletarians of the world, every sentence is refreshing, as if he was a born communist propagandist, constantly inspiring the revolutionary will of the people.
The audience was gradually immersed in Garrian's impassioned speech.
"From the French silk weavers' uprising in Lyon, the Chartist movement in England, the Silesian textile workers' uprising in Germany. We have lost too many compatriots and comrades-in-arms, but a dark era probably requires some people to stand up resolutely at certain moments, stand in a certain position, and stand there. It is the hope of the revolution, and every revolutionary who rebels against the dark world burns himself with the determination of a firewood to illuminate the way ahead for those who come later. ”
"Perhaps we will be hanged, shot, banished, and physically destroyed, but our souls will become immortal monuments, and we will all be freed from the heavy darkness of the past and the future, and only go upward, without listening to the flow of self-abandoners. Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak up can speak up. There is a point of heat, and a point of light. Even if it is like a firefly, it can also shine a little light in the dark, and you don't have to wait for the torch. ”
Garion glanced at everyone one last time and finished his last sentence.
"If there is no torch from now on, we will be the nameless bearers of the flame, the only light."
The only light.
Even the red-eyed audience had to admit that Garion's speech touched almost all the revolutionaries present, and in him they saw in him a spirit that had never been seen before.
Wish.
As Garion stepped off the podium, Marx approached him, gave himself a hug, and said with a smile, "Well done, my friend." Your presentation was so brilliant that it was beyond anyone's imagination. ”
The dense figures in the audience are all influential figures on the historical stage in the second half of the 19th century. The First International Congress of 1864 seemed to be the opening ceremony, and from the Paris Commune to the October Revolution, every successor of the revolutionary torch burned himself and illuminated the way forward for those who came after him.
"Carl, my friend, don't be in a hurry to rejoice."
Garion patted him on the shoulder, his gaze swept over the audience, and said in a low tone, "Everyone present is not a fuel-efficient lamp, they have their own different ideas and opinions, how can His Excellency Marx seek common ground while reserving differences, in order to find a real way out." ”
To tell the truth, Garion as a literati provides a theoretical basis for writing and arguing with people, but once it comes to the hands-on part, it needs to be carried out by a real revolutionary. To put it bluntly, his views and insights are to stand on the shoulders of giants and point out a path for explorers in confusion.
Marx was slightly surprised, but he did not expect the sharp-eyed Garion to see through the undercurrent under this joint conference so quickly.
And a considerable part of the turbulent undercurrent came from his friends Bakunin and Proudhon.
During his time in Paris, Bakunin became acquainted with Marx and Engels, and often spent time with German and Polish exiles actively discussing the future of the revolution. He later met Proudhon, and the two soon became friends. In 1845, Proudhonvo was regarded as a "holy place" for revolutionaries from all over the world. Bakunin was deeply attracted by Proudhon's ideas and became a follower of the other party, but Marx always believed that Proudhon's ideas were nothing more than anarchist ideas and did not represent a proletarian program of action at all.
There have been differences of opinion among friends.
Proudhonism, on the other hand, believed that both communism and capitalism had shortcomings and were irrational, and that a "mutual-aid" society based on "individual possession" was the best social model. He advocated the establishment of a "People's Bank" based on interest-free loans as the fundamental way to transform the capitalist system and realize a "mutual-aid" society;
The most terrible thing is that Proudhon preached class reconciliation and peaceful revolution, and opposed violent revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat; He advocates absolute personal freedom, opposes any state and government, and opposes all authority.
At its core, Proudhonism fantasized about the establishment of a system of petty handicraft production and petty-bourgeois socialism through peaceful reform.
Although the two men were friends, the Marxists waged a resolute struggle against Proudhonism in safeguarding the fundamental interests of the international workers' movement.
Marx and Engels profoundly exposed and criticized Proudhonism in their works such as The Poverty of Philosophy, The Communist Manifesto, and On the Housing Question.
However, it was not until after the Paris Commune that the influence of Proudhonism in the international workers' movement was largely eliminated. The revolutionary leaders of the Paris Commune, who believed in the Proudhonists, were all shot and executed, becoming the grave of the Proudhonist school of socialism.
Garion smiled slightly, didn't order anything to wear, and said calmly, "Your Excellency Marx, if you need to do something, I'll be happy to do it for you." After all, a writer who doesn't quarrel with the pen is not a real writer at all. ”
