Chapter 129: Karl Marx Revisits Tréville

France, which has done a lot of absurd things to the people of Europe in the past few years, is now making a big joke.

This joke takes place at the Palais Bourbon.

The nervous bourgeois bourgeois bourgeoises, who are fond of proclaiming that parliament is the best solution to the current problem, boasting that it is God's greatest creation, which can eliminate the evil, is yet a scandal that makes this frivolous boast suddenly manifest itself.

The joke goes like this: During a parliamentary questioning, Charles de Treville, a French government official, publicly declared that parliament was unconstitutionally and refused to accept parliamentary orders.

And the seemingly invincible French National Assembly, although angry after being challenged by him, did not give him any substantial punishment in the midst of the noise!

What a joke!

The National Assembly, which in June 1848 murderously declared that it would not stop until Paris was bloodbathed, is now openly challenged and helpless! Even hesitant to defend yourself!

In a word, this seemingly powerful monster is now paralyzed by schizophrenia.

How did this qiē happen?

I'm afraid we'll have to start with Charles de Treville.

――If you've been reading this article, you're probably no stranger to this person. The young man was one of Louis Bonaparte's most relied on subordinates, his assistant in his quest for supreme power.

And this man was rewarded by Louis Bonaparte for committing this heinous crime - first in the Ministry of Railways, and now in the Ministry of the Army.

Because of this, we can learn from the words and deeds of this young man. See the reflection of the elusive ghost in the Élysée Palace. Louis Bonaparte's placement of this confidant and right-hand man of his in the War Office is in itself a testament to how urgent he was at the moment. He was anxious to co-opt the army in order to foreshadow his obvious purpose.

The party of order in parliament is certainly able to see traces of such a conspiracy. They also took a step - they were to create an army belonging only to parliament in order to stand against Louis Bonaparte.

However, the War Department, which was under the control of the Bonapartist party, rejected the decision of the Parliament, and then Trevel issued a large number of rhetoric during the parliamentary questioning, saying that he would not accept any measures to distract the command of the War Office, and finally openly declared that he doubted the legitimacy of the Parliament.

A government official who openly questions the legitimacy of parliament!

The French absurdity, which has not been going on for several years, has finally reached a new chapter.

There is reason to believe that the young man's performance in the National Assembly was premeditated. It was not an impulse, it was a temptation, but rather a public agitation against Parliament, and even a general rehearsal for an open break between the Bonapartist and the Order.

The smirk of the two political factions when they suppressed the people finally turned into a vicious face after eliminating a single enemy.

This proves once again the delusion of the bourgeois parliamentary fandom - the parliament will never naturally bring about the unity of the country, on the contrary, if the country is torn apart, the parliament will not show anything but spasms, and will even bring more violent spasms to the country.

And through the points of their arguments. We can also discover something more interesting.

That is, these two factions of political figures shifted the focus of the struggle to the army from the very beginning.

Because of the teachings left by his uncle, Louis Bonaparte took care from the beginning to win the favor of the army. According to the Constitution, the president does have control over the military. However, he could not personally command the army - which meant that only when the top commander in the army bowed to the president. The president can really wield military power, and that's why it's because of that. Almost from the very beginning, he sought to make the commander of the army his own.

After many efforts, the treacherous careerist finally made his party a minister. And let his cronies, who, in addition to their age, are cunning, greedy, and other evil parties not inferior to them.

It is clear that if his plan continues, there will be no other outcome for France than a military coup.

Louis Bonaparte's rhapsodies, though evil, were also new.

If we look at history with wise eyes, we can see clearly that no matter how many years the royal historians of the French government have tried to disguise this fact, and how they have preached the so-called 'glory' and 'order', since the French Revolution of 1789, this proud and humble, impulsive and conservative, brilliant and vulgar country has been at the mercy of her army. The military can obey or abandon a government at will, and any government without the support of the army can only collapse.

Of course, in the Age of Empire, in the Restoration, in the July Dynasty, and in the Republic of 1848, there were differences in the classes that relied on or assisted the military in their rule. In the imperial period, it was the land-acquired peasants and the petty bourgeoisie, the product of the 1789 revolution, who dominated; During the Restoration, it was the great aristocratic landowners who followed the Bourbon family back to France who were dominant; During the reign of Louis-Philippe, it was the bankers who were dominant.

And the republic of 1848, isn't it the same? Didn't the butcher, General Kafenjac, with the support of the army, be able to bloody Paris and suppress the real revolutionaries?

Could the successors of these men in 1850 have any other ideas than to continue to flatter the army in order to seize despicable power?

From this we can see that this gang of bandits, no matter how cunning and ferocious they may be, cannot offer anything new, but can only act according to the teachings of the old Napoleon, for they themselves are the most corrupt, the most reactionary, the most backward dregs of the country.

Louis Bonaparte had no virtue or prestige except cunning, and he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of other European countries. In order to snatch what should not have belonged to him, he can only tremble and ask the undead to help him, borrowing the name that has passed, using the fallen empire, in order to win the favor of those who still indulge in the illusions of the past.

And this set is surprisingly popular - people always have the illusion in the long history that a qiē can be reproduced, and the past is always good.

Relying on the sign of "Empire", which has been washed away of blood and only the so-called "glory", how much more will Louis Bonaparte deceive?

Louis Bonaparte's enemies, however, were even weaker.

Having seized the parliamentary majority by deception, the dregs of the July Dynasty - the shrewd and pragmatic bourgeoisie - did not want to delay any time, and from the very beginning they worked to eliminate the revolutionaries whom they hated and feared the most. They purged all the staunch and combative members of parliament from the parliament, and then they legislated to deprive a large part of the French citizens of their right to vote.

These Gu worms, hiding behind the shadows, were complacent about thinking that they had devoured the fruits of the revolution, and they never imagined that their success would devour themselves.

They have weakened their legitimacy, so that the parliament has become notorious in the hearts of the people, not only because it is not a representative body, but when they are confronted with the threat of the Bonapartists to "appeal to the whole people", they do not even dare to move! Not even much protest can be done! Tréville's ridicule of them at the Palais Bourbon was actually shaking the dark shadow of the Élysée.

However, it is clear to anyone with a mind that the threat of a clown like de Treville is only a threat, and that the Bonaparte gang will never dare to hand over power to the people, as they themselves say. However, these bugs only dare to tremble in the face of this threat, because they absolutely do not dare to face the people! In order to continue to enjoy the fruits of their stealing, they don't even mind waging their tails and begging for mercy from a little man surnamed Bonaparte!

How vicious he is before the people, how weak he is before the bandits—this is the fate of a bourgeois who prides himself on being the elite of the country.

In this way, two gangs of political prostitutes competed to show which side was more daring and brazen on the seemingly strict but actually funny stage of the Palais Bourbon, entrusting the fate of France to a ridiculous stage, and even bothering to hide their ugly faces. In the end, the careerist with the dazzling halo of Austerlitz triumphed. His 'brilliant' victory, as we have seen, will continue to erode the already crumbling foundations of the republic, and will eventually bring the republic that has gone astray in the first place to its final end.

And for the French and Europeans, the catastrophe was only the beginning at that time, and by no means the end!

Time will tell how many terrible spectacles and misdeeds the circus of Louis Bonaparte and the clowns of Morni, Fuld and Treville will give us the blood of innocents after usurping the supreme power of a great nation.

How many people still remember Treville's rhetoric at the World Peace Conference? There is innumerable evidence that the ambitions of these bandits are by no means confined to the borders of France, and that they will not give up until they stir up the whole continent to the point of their final self-destruction.

May the French people soon wake up from the poisonous paralyzing medicine they have given to them called 'Empire', and soon shake off the shackles that have been pressed down on them! (To be continued......)
