Glancing at the young man who was still sulking in the corner, and then at the rest of the young people who were a little impatient about the new injustice that Chen Jian had said, Jian Chen was as calm as possible.

"Before Comrade Hailang talked about how he met and integrated into our big family, then I will talk about how our big family is constantly divided."

"Practicing the righteousness in your heart is a kind of progress."

"But the consequences of progress are not necessarily just."

"The old Mexican Party split into a loose progressive alliance, and the reason why so many people were brought together before the split was because of the sense of justice in their hearts. Therefore, after the split, it is still called the Progressive League, because justice is a kind of progress. ”

But when the fierce debate of ideas and the contention of the three religions and the nine schools of thought first appeared, there were also differences on how to practice justice. I can say that most of the people who joined the Progressive League were good people according to this classification. ”

"However, precisely because we did not distinguish between good and bad, we split into the Progressive League, and then completely dissolved and ceased its activities because of our own disputes."

In other words, when our party split at the beginning, it chose to use the two criteria of progress of the productive forces and fairness and justice, not just goodness and morality – so who came first of the two criteria we chose? Who's behind? ”

"It's a trap because there's no one in front and no one behind. The ultimate result of progress is the natural disappearance of injustice, not the pursuit of abstract moral humanity that leads to ultimate progress. ”

"Just like the story of the landlord told by the waves, if the land is owned by the whole people, then there is no basis for the kind of story he said that makes us want to tear - the basis of this story is that the land is owned by the big landlord, and the tenant farmers have no other means of survival except farming."

"Of course, we can't take that step now, we can only take another stage, so some young people are very unhappy."

"You're not happy, and I'm not happy. I know better than you what the water-powered spinning mills look like in the valley. Distorted child labor, cheap female labor...... This is also the reason why we can only build textile factories in the Great Wilderness City, and not build too many textile factories in Fujian City - people work fifteen hours a day, we have a ten-hour working system internally, as well as work-related injury compensation and holidays, and even the pants will be lost in less than a year - the yarn can't be sold is just yarn and not money, and our way determines that the cost of our yarn is much higher than the rest of the yarn mills, so we don't build too many such yarn factories in Mincheng, and with this money, we will invest in some industries that can be monopolized by technology. Maintaining this internal system forces us to continue to develop new technologies for the sake of ideals and beliefs. ”

"You say that after becoming a big farm, you don't just want to make money and keep wages down as much as possible? If it weren't for the domestic opposition to the introduction of slaves to steal the jobs of the low-class, you would soon see that the big farms in Mincheng would be full of blacks. ”

"You say that the bourgeoisie in the cities also take pleasure in seducing other people's wives, and they can also manipulate women cheaply, and even send women in batches to the situation of being able to do their best for money. Is this different from sleeping with a tenant's wife? ”

"What is the point of progress? The distance to justice has not been narrowed at all, and in some places it has been even farther. That's why some people are shouting about restoring the patriarchal land and guild system, and I say something ugly, if you meet a good guild president and a good patriarchal head village head, the life at the bottom is better than many factories in Mincheng now. ”

"Now you ask a random landless person, and you ask them if they are in the countryside. Or is it better to wait in the city every day to sell your labor? The answer is obvious. ”

"I think this problem is the reason why many young people in our country are angry, dissatisfied, and even aggressive. This is understandable, and I am glad that you still have a heart for justice and fairness. ”

"However, if this trend continues, I think our Mexican Party will soon split again - when the time comes, it will be divided into two factions, one is the future progressives; One faction is the Righteous Ranger faction. ”

There was a buzz below, and the question that Jian Chen said was a question that has always existed in the hearts of many people, especially after capitalism began to be established and all kinds of problems were exposed, some radical young people who are still driven by the mentality of good and bad, justice and so on will definitely think, what is this special toss? It's all cannibalism, and changing the way of eating is progress?

This reason does not make sense, and the Mexican Party will inevitably split.

Jian Chen stood on tiptoe and said in a deep voice: "When I was sailing around the world, I read a poem. Here, I give it to Comrade Hailang: Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried. Who has a grievance today? ”

"This sword with an injustice in mind, okay?"

"Okay."

"Do we Mo Party want everyone to hold a frost blade, where there is injustice, there will be us? We don't want to pursue any social progress, just like those who rush to the market in the countryside, where there is injustice, we will go wherever there is injustice, and use the sword to fulfill the justice and fairness in our hearts, okay? ”

"Not good!"

"I'll give you a ten-year sword now, and you go and kill the landlord and divide the land. Revenge has been avenged, hatred has been dissolved, justice has been justified...... Then the society was still like this, and a hundred years later it was land annexation, and new landlords took their place. At that time, were you still alive? Can your child still maintain this pure heart to lift a three-foot sword to settle injustices? ”

"Carrying a sword to kill people and practice justice is to hold a bottle of water to extinguish the fire in the vast northern wilderness."

"To change the social system and make society progress, it is to cut down those trees in the wasteland, and there will be no more fires in the mountains."

"We all know that in the future we envision, mountains, rivers, land, minerals, and other things belong to the people. But how? ”

"Two ways."

"Now we are revolting on our own, and if we want to get support, we have to divide the land equally, so that we can get the support of tenant farmers and small yeoman farmers, and they will not support it without equalization, let alone collective ownership."

"Now we are cooperating with the bourgeoisie, reducing rents and interest rates, and at the same time, allowing capital to penetrate deep into the land management, eliminating the tenant relationship, and becoming a completely different mode of operation from the tenant relationship. Turning tenant farmers into hired laborers, and in the future, when we will bring forward the idea of ownership of the land people, and the hired laborers will change from laborers to laborers and operators, and continue to maintain the model of large land. ”

The latter sounds good, but the question is whether the bourgeoisie is strong or not? Can you be our ally? Can you cooperate with us to defeat the big families and rentier landlords of the old forces? ”

"It's going to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis."

"In Mincheng, it's entirely possible. We have the Great Desert City as a place to relieve pressure and reclaim land, we have a strong bourgeois force, and we have a large number of citizens who have been enlightened by our propaganda for nearly a decade as sympathizers, and the new council in Mincheng has little to do with the land. ”

"The bourgeois democrats in Mincheng are still in the most vigorous era, and those young people who have grown up uphold this vigor and fight against the old era; The bourgeois liberals, the craftsmen, the free weavers, etc., are also willing to fight with us against the old times. And the big bourgeoisie still needs our strength, and it has not yet come to face the gravediggers. ”

"It seems that there had been an uprising before, but the life of the weavers was much better than before, and the bad ones were only the spinners who were shocked. Therefore, a large part of the citizens have personally felt the ugliness and oppression of the old era, but they have not really felt the competition and dirtiness of the new era. ”

"They can stand with us, and it's easy for them to be mobilized because of their fanaticism to embrace capitalism against the injustices of the old times when many industries are not being affected by the monsters of capital. And when they were eaten too, we gained more strength. ”

"In the north of Wangbei City, this kind of road is absolutely impossible. The land order there is deep-rooted, the bourgeoisie there is weak and powerless, the relationship between the merchants and the land is too deep, and the land annexation of the city of Xuemin caused by the overpopulation there is a million-man uprising. ”

"Without the upsurge of peasant revolt, Wangbeicheng would not have been able to overthrow the old system and win the republic. This upsurge presupposes the most sincere sympathy for the living conditions of the peasants and the strongest hatred of their oppressors and exploiters, which in turn generates this sympathy and hatred. This sympathy and hatred determined that they could only overthrow the old system by opposing all systems of exploitation and realizing the rule of the saints and the ownership of land by the cultivators in the traditional culture. ”

"This also determines that even if we are active and sow seeds there, the participants are still subjective good people with the world in mind, and then it can only be the vast number of farmers who have the idea that the cultivators have their own fields. It is difficult for us to influence how to go next, but we can be sure that the road that Mincheng is going to take now will definitely not work there. This is the power of tradition and the great power of traditional culture, where there is never a shortage of people who have the world in mind. ”

"The way forward is to rely on their own hands to liberate themselves, we don't need to worry, and we have to believe that they will find their own path to the same end."

"In the Great Wilderness City, you can directly skip these two steps and go directly to the next step. What we're doing today is that the slave city-states have no power in our eyes, and on the other hand, there's enough land there that collective cooperation can reach the limits of reclamation, that we can use some new animal farming tools, and that we can unite to build water conservancy. ”

"From a fair point of view, it's a process of treating the symptoms and curing the root cause, just like those extremely bitter medicines that you take when you have a headache."

"From the point of view of productivity, it is obvious that this is a process that can expand the total wealth of national labor."

"Since both are correct in terms of fairness and productivity, the two measures of value that we have upheld since we split from the Progressive League, and which we have upheld in judging the right and wrong of our party affiliation, then I would say that it is the right thing to do."

"From a practical point of view, is it easy for farmers to organize? Or is it easy for the hired workers to organize? Is it easy for farmers to organize together to maintain fairness? Or is it easy for employees to organize together for profit? ”

"It should be noted that this kind of social progress is not forced by us, but occurs naturally. Wouldn't it have existed without us? ”

"Not really, we're just supporting this progress, making it a little bit faster."

"Our support for this progress does not mean that we support the injustices of the new social forms that follow it, but on the contrary, we have been deliberately trying to eliminate them from the very beginning of our establishment. However, it is necessary to eliminate the root cause of the problem, not by relying on a ten-year sword. ”

"If we do not support it, then this progress to a certain extent is likely to lead to a deviation, just as the proponents of the guild patriarchy want—to stand still, to rebuild morality and tradition, and to remove injustice by the ten-year sword of goodness, conscience, and morality."

"Then, obviously, the landlord like that in the story told by Comrade Hailang will always exist, constantly reincarnated, and tragic stories will still happen. Maybe the bad guy in the story will be the descendant of one of us. ”

"Even we can know that in the next step of society, compared with the previous one, in addition to the progress of productivity, cannibalism and injustice and other things will just continue in a different way, and even have a more reasonable and legal choice - you are in the city, you have money and capital, you can sleep with the most beautiful women in the whole city, instead of sleeping with tenants like in the countryside, and it sounds a little less angry than that story."

"But we also know that if we want to go further and treat the symptoms and the root cause, we have to go to the next step."

"One, two, three, our future is three, so we have to escort the second to prevent it from falling back to one. However, we need to remember that we are not for two, but for the three after two. ”

"If you have to give a definition, it is that the countryside outside Mincheng is different."

"The capitalism of Mincheng has already revealed its bloody mouths, and the idea of 'socialism' for the future that arose in Mincheng will naturally be affected by the taste of 'socialism' based on the capitalist development of Mincheng in the rural tenant system in the rural areas, so they are afraid that the countryside will enter the capitalist road of Mincheng and want to skip the stage of capitalism directly."

"This kind of thinking is dangerous. It can even be said that some people are subjectively 'socialist', so they pursue fairness and justice, but objectively, they violate the conditions for achieving 'socialism'. To put it more seriously, they are very similar to those who try to retreat to the guild patriarchy, a kind of utopian, unrealistic, subjective but not objective, petty bourgeois mentality. ”

"In other words, some people in the cities are deeply sympathetic to the idea of 'socialism' based on the urban factory system, and then change hands and transform into reactionary utopian 'socialism' in the countryside under completely different conditions. But I didn't think about the question at all, is the tenant system in the countryside the same basis as the factory system in the city? ”

Speaking of which, Chen Jian can also understand why there are so many debates, factions, and 'heretics' in history, and there will be so many internal line struggles, which is really not okay to talk about, and it is too easy to go crooked - between subjective sympathizers and objective science, sometimes it makes people uncomfortable, and it will make some "good people" feel cold, but in the absence of objective material conditions, they have to need subjective socialists "good people" to do the basic plate, which is a paradox under de-industrialization. However, in the face of such a period of change, without the urging of the "good people", it is easy for the bourgeoisie to show its frightening side prematurely, and thus scare some people into the side of utopian and reactionary socialism and even imperialism.

This was said so seriously that there were bursts of discussion and buzz below, and Jian Chen tried his best to turn this kind of matter into an internal discussion rather than an act of buttoning his hat.

Suppressing his emotions and saying as calmly as possible, "I'm not judging someone. In fact, this is inevitable and is based on the social conditions of the time, and even if this kind of thinking becomes mainstream, I am not surprised that it becomes mainstream at this time. Objective conditions determine it. ”

"However, when five years later, ten years or even longer, but obviously we can live to see the era, when the capitalist transformation of the countryside is completed, when Fujian is full of large factories with various division of labor, this kind of thinking will naturally have no basis for existence."

And all this, of course, requires us to continuously promote social progress and scientific development, so that more people can understand and accept our thoughts in reality. When the city of Fujian is filled with black smoke, that is, when our ideas are widely accepted, it is also the time when the dreamers spontaneously change. ”

"I believe that everyone who joins has a three-foot sword in their hearts. That's a good thing. That's why I say that the 'subjective, utopian, reactionary socialists' we are talking about at this time are all things we can unite. They are like this only because of the objective social conditions. ”

"I hope that the three-foot sword in the hearts of everyone who joins knows where to cut and how to cut it, and condenses the three-foot sword in the hearts of tens of millions of people into a powerful, thoughtful, and united sword."

"Don't cut people, but cut off the foundation of the existence of the 'bad guys', and turn the world upside down, even if there are fish that slip through the net temporarily, but we believe that one day when the foundation no longer exists, these fish that slip through the net will naturally cease to exist."

"Kill people...... Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. This sword will collapse; This heart will be tired. ”..
