320 The collapse of revolutionary faith

In order to obtain sufficient loans to purchase a large number of military supplies through various channels and support the bottomless pit of war attrition, Lin Haoda reached a series of 'win-win' conditions with the French bourgeoisie, which will be promulgated in the context of the constitution of the French Republic to protect the future interests of the French bourgeoisie.

The French bourgeoisie is not afraid of Lin Haoda's reversal after quelling the civil war, because for Lin Haoda in a series of terms, he himself is the biggest beneficiary, and the victims are naturally the broad masses of the French people who have no rights!

During the negotiations, Lin Haoda was very surprised by the French bourgeoisie's methods of 'implicit oppression and exploitation' of French civilians, and he finally understood why in the 'democratic countries' of later generations, on the surface, the common people gained a lot of rights, but the gap between the rich and the poor increased day by day!

At the political and legal level, the common people do not understand many things at all, and they are not qualified to understand, let alone so-called experts to expose this kind of 'hidden exploitation and oppression' of the people, which is undoubtedly against the power and rich people of the entire country, and it is really the end of the world that will evaporate before the words are spoken.

In fact, the new constitution seems very normal on the surface, such as: the protection of the sanctity of individual private property, the complete freedom of the economy, the abolition of all price limit laws in all situations, the conduct of commercial activities in accordance with the laws of the market itself, etc., everything seems very natural, if Lin Haoda had not listened to the in-depth explanations of those capitalists, he would not have seen any harm to the French people......

There were no additional tax increases, and no unpaid hard labor, which was fully in line with the basic principles of the Republic, but soon the French people would feel the pain of these new constitutions!

Naturally, they will not find anything strange in it, but the French people will find that their bread is gone, their incomes are legitimately reduced, prices are always fluctuating, and then the small proprietors are bankrupt, and the savings of ordinary people for years are emptied......

However, they could not find a reason, but where did the bread go?

The combination of economics and politics is a seamless legal trap, even if it is studied in detail, it will not violate the law, the only thing that is needed is the cooperation and profit of the ruling class!

The National Assembly of the French Republic, with the consent of Lin Haoda, openly defended the interests of the bourgeoisie: "All a wise man can ask for is the equal rights of citizens, absolute equality is only an illusion, and absolute equality must be achieved by the complete equality of all men in thought, morality, physical strength, education, and property."

The equality of people in society is nothing more than legal equality, and it is neither equality of property, nor equality of stature, strength, thought, activity, skill, and labor.

We should allow the best men to rule, who are the most cultured and upright of the law, and yet, with very few exceptions, you can only find such people in the following ranges: they own the property, love the place where their property is, are faithful to the laws that protect it, and love the balance that is beneficial to it; They were also well educated by the possession of property and the comfort that came with it, which enabled them to have the foresight to discuss accurately the pros and cons of the laws that were relevant to the fate of their homeland.

A state ruled by the propertied is a state with social order, while a state ruled by the proletarian is a state in a state of nature.

If you give unlimited political rights to the proletarians, if one day they sit in the legislature's seat, they will incite or condone unrest without regard to the consequences, and they will agree to impose extremely harmful tax rates on commerce and agriculture.

Because they themselves do not feel it, they are not afraid, and they do not anticipate the terrible consequences that these rates will bring, and in the end, they will push us back into the violent turmoil we have just escaped! ”

The French bourgeoisie is a group of elites educated, and unlike the simple violence of Lin Haoda, the proletarian ideology and theory they have built up since the French Revolution have been crushed from the point of view of 'truth'!

These remarks favorably refuted the harmfulness of the proletariat's control of state power, and laid the foundation and scientific rationality for the rule of the propertied (i.e., the bourgeoisie).

As for Lin Haoda's right to rule, the National Assembly recognized him as the "most capable person" as a matter of course, which shows that the criterion for determining whether or not he is capable is related to success and failure, and the truth that the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, which is eternal and unchanged!

At this time, the French Robespierre line was completely purged, and a large number of democratic patriot intellectuals either died in the war or were guillotined by the republic, and the remaining members of the line headed by Danton naturally joined the ranks of the propertied for their own interests, so under the overwhelming propaganda, the French civilians in the area controlled by Lin Haoda fell into a state of confusion, and the long-term war made them doubt the concept of the French Revolution and the correctness of the proletariat to establish political power. This impression was reinforced by the forceful rebuttal of the French bourgeoisie.

The reason why there are so many sans-culottes in the remnants of the French Revolution is because logically speaking, the royal power and nobility should be overthrown, and most people think that they can be fed and clothed by themselves, so they burst out with a strong fighting enthusiasm.

When this ideological core was defeated by the bourgeoisie's 'meritocracy theory', a large number of French civilians naturally fell into silence and gave up the idea of resistance.

Ideology is the source of human power, Lin Haoda is obviously very satisfied with the French bourgeoisie's approach, under this set of theories, the number of local guerrillas who oppose him is constantly decreasing, the most obvious is the Marseille theater, many guerrillas who can't get around the bend under the double blow of body and spirit, laid down their weapons and returned to their hometown to become 'obedient people', they are not subservient to the horror of military repression, but defeated by the truth!

After the French Republic established the basis of the rule of the propertied people, the bourgeoisie finally began to feed back, first of all, the first batch of large loans were exchanged for various military materials and raw materials at high prices, and a steady stream of blood began to be transfused to Lin Haoda's arsenal and army!

He didn't care how the French capitalists got these supplies, he just made a simple deal with the other party, gave the French bourgeoisie political convenience, and then obtained the logistics and military raw materials to continue the war!
