Zhang Yu is the secretary of the Southern Anhui Prefectural Party Committee and one of the three secretaries of Anhui. Ping Suri is known for his courage to question Chen Ke to his face and for his steadfastness in carrying out the party's plan. Among the senior cadres of the People's Party, Zhang Yu's style is a very rare one.

However, Chen Ke came back to preside over the work in Anhui this time, and Zhang Yu has always been very wilted, except for his own work report and routine speeches, he has always been very silent. This made Chen Ke have to talk to Zhang Yu in person to see what happened to this energetic cadre.

"I'm in good health, but I'm a little tired." Zhang Yu did look very tired when he answered.

"In what way are you thinking too much?" Chen Ke has also had this experience, and his psychological exhaustion is closely related to confusion, and every time he tries to sort out a theoretical problem, Chen Ke always feels very tired.

"Chairman Chen, what kind of country do we want to build after the revolution? You always say it's a whole new system, a whole new country. But what is this new law? "It's really easy to change the nature of the country, Zhang Yu's voice is very tired, but the question is still acute.

"A new country? That is, industrialized modern nationalist states. Chen Ke gave Zhang Yu a complete answer. Even at the beginning of the 21st century, China was nothing more than an industrialized, modern nationalist state. Of course, in China's profound historical and cultural characteristics, ancestry is not a particularly serious issue. There is the traditional idea of "entering China and destroying China", and China is 108,000 miles away from racism. Of course, China is still 108,000 miles away from communism.

"Oh? Nationalist state? Zhang Yu became interested in the term.

"Nationalism is not racism, nationalism is really a cultural identity. Racism is identification with ancestry. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which I talked about before, proposed to protect China but not the Qing Dynasty, and this is a racist attitude. Identification with China is recognition of cultural identity. That's why I've long said that nationalism is a false proposition. But implicit in this false proposition is a sense of identity that applies to the whole of China, and then the positioning between the people and the state. This can be very troublesome. Speaking of which, Chen Ke himself felt a little tired.

Although Zhang Yu was still tired, there was already a sharp feeling in his eyes, "Chairman Chen, I have always had a question. You never finish your words, you have to leave half of it. If you look at other revolutionary parties, what they want to say and do, they always finish talking at one time, and those who are willing to follow them at least know what they are going to do. At present, many comrades in our People's Party do not know where we are going. Our goal is to change after we have done a certain level, and we will change again after we have achieved the next goal. We also want to know what the end up will be. ”

This is not an inquiry about the next step or even the next goal, Zhang Yu is questioning Chen Ke's entire political philosophy. This is the first time that someone in the party has asked this question so profoundly, and listening to Chairman Chen's words is indeed the first consensus in the People's Party that whoever does not listen to Chairman Chen should go. And the reason why Chen Ke had to do this in reality is that if the People's Party only acts according to the political theory put forward by Chen Ke, it will lead the People's Party to various paths.

The Party's revolution has made many attempts, and there have been many failures. Therefore, the party's success is also inevitable, and every defeat has not brought down the party, but has allowed the party to sum up lessons and lessons, temper its ranks, and unite its thinking. This is the objective law of development of things. It conforms to the basic principles of materialist dialectics. The path that Chen Ke has led the People's Party has taken is "in conformity" with the objective law of development of things and the basic principles of materialist dialectics. Because he knew it, he studied it, he discussed it, he thought about it.

The comrades of the People's Party marched from victory to victory, but the theories and methods put forward by Chen Ke were completely unable to rationally explain what had happened. If you don't deeply question whether Chen Ke "left a hand", this is abnormal. Because Chen Ke really "left a hand", or "left a big hand". If Zhang Yu can deduce the strategic design just by relying on the theory put forward by Chen Ke, then he is a great man comparable to Grandpa Mao.

Chen Ke's ability to speak nonsense is very low, and since the beginning of the revolution, he has learned to tell the truth from facts, and he has embarrassed Chen Ke to death. Talking nonsense, and more importantly, talking nonsense, this is completely outside of Chen Ke's consideration. So Chen Ke asked: "Many comrades think so, right?" ”

"That's what I thought." Zhang Yu answered this sentence skillfully.

"Then Comrade Zhang Yu, to what extent do you want to hear it?" Chen Ke asked.

"I wanted to listen to all the theoretical aspects, not just the positive ones. I think Chairman Chen, there are a lot of things you can't make up your mind about, and you don't seem to want to discuss them with your comrades at all. Personally, I think you don't trust your comrades by doing this. Zhang Yu's voice was a little tired, but the content was extremely sharp.

If Zhang Yu's initial remarks made Chen Ke have self-reflection, the later words shifted Chen Ke's thinking from self-criticism to criticism, and he paused for a while before replying, "Then how can we ensure that this kind of discussion will not lead to distraction among comrades?" As far as human cognitive habits are concerned, everyone instinctively wants to go straight to the result. And meticulously going through every link of this process is the biggest reason why our People's Party can continue to win. I don't want to artificially add unnecessary trouble to the revolutionary process. What if someone uses chicken feathers as an arrow and engages in left-leaning adventurism? ”

Zhang Yu didn't argue, the tiredness on his face seemed to be more. After a long while, Zhang Yu nodded, "That's what you said, maybe I'm too tired." Recently, there has been a mountain of work, but there are too few comrades who can meet the standards of workers. Most people go straight to the result, and there are really too few people who want to do things. As long as cooperation is involved, everyone instinctively thinks about their own interests. If it's really for his own benefit, then let's do it first. These people can't wait to move their mouths to get things done immediately, and after we improve the monitoring system, there are too many things that cut corners and are exposed. ”

Seeing Zhang Yu's face full of black lines, Chen Ke couldn't help but ask: "Haven't party schools and cadre schools increased their training efforts?" ”

"I'm talking about the masses." Zhang Yu directly pushed back, "To put it bluntly, I question one thing now." The constitution says that all power belongs to the people. Historical materialism holds that the development of productive forces is the only way to promote social progress. In politics class, the state is an instrument of class rule. As stated in the constitution of the People's Party, the People's Party is the vanguard of the working masses. I've always been unclear about this issue right now. Chairman Chen, can you talk about that? ”

Chen Ke looked at Zhang Yu carefully, Zhang Yu's troubles were too advanced. Before the revolution, Chen Ke did not understand the concept of the so-called "aristocratic workers", but after the revolution, he really understood it. What Zhang Yu is talking about is a big problem facing the grassroots now. "Who the hell is the revolution trying to save!"

Zhang Yu was the first senior cadre in the party to raise this question, and although it was not explained from a theoretical level, it had already touched directly on the core issue. Even in the 21st century, this question is a matter of divergent opinion.

When Chen Ke talked to many of his brothers who were studying MBAs, some of them firmly believed that many of the people involved in labor could not be called laborers at all.

"If a person works purely for the purpose of earning money, participation in labor is only forced. I won't work with this kind of person unless I have to! "It may be that there are too many people who have worked together, and these brothers know this very well.

After such a long period of revolution, Chen Ke's own definition of a laborer is a person who is willing to become a laborer and has a conscious understanding of labor. A long time ago, Chen Ke even thought that such people were born, and they could understand the meaning of labor. The first is to be needed, and to meet the needs of others.

In many early socialist discourses, these people were referred to as "aristocratic workers." They occupy important positions in the factories, and the wages are very high, and the capitalists demand what they want. These professionals first became experts through their own efforts, and then occupied a position of high economic income in society. Many people's evaluation of these people is, "Pressing a button may only be worth a dollar, but when you press this button, it is worth 9,999 yuan." ”

Moreover, this group of people knows how to cooperate very well, they know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will definitely not become victims of various sports. What they want is this opportunity to work, the basis on which labor will make them a living. In their understanding, their own value is reflected through the results of their own labor, and has nothing to do with anything else. Not to mention that Zhang Yu likes this kind of person, Chen Ke also likes to cooperate with this kind of person. If the Chinese masses are generally able to attain this quality, the socialist system can definitely be achieved. I'm afraid that communism can be achieved.

This kind of person is the level that Chen Ke's parents have always hoped that Chen Ke can achieve. Understand society, have a skill, be recognized within the scope of skills, and most importantly, these people know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and will not be blinded by their own selfish desires.

A laborer, as long as the society provides labor opportunities, they can seize it. Even if it costs them their lives, these people can live with it. No matter how much you startle the snake, these people can still lie dormant in the hole. But when it's time for them to move, they always show up when they have to.

To put it bluntly, this is the "quality of the members of the ruling class" of the modern nation-state, who are first and foremost the masters of themselves, and who are unswervingly committed to realizing their values through labor. And through the needs of society, step by step ascended to the corresponding position.

After the establishment of socialism, when labor became the criterion for judging a person's value, these people should be given a corresponding status. But Chen Ke found that these people often don't want to get paid and status for themselves. They also have families to support, houses to buy, and more importantly, they need these pay and status for better work.

Since the state is an instrument of class control, the ruling class must use the state as a tool to achieve a mode of control that is beneficial to itself. Exploitation and becoming an exploitative empire are doomed to fail to promote the real development of the productive forces and will only lead to the decline of the state. Under socialism, how to make the masses understand and understand these things is the work of the revolution. It is also the future direction of the People's Party that Chen Ke believes.

This is also the revolution that Chen Ke can understand at this stage, and this is also the reflection that Chen Ke has gained from the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 to the beginning of the 21st century. The object of revolution is not only the system, but also the self-transformation of human thought.

"Comrade Zhang Yu, since you have asked about this matter, can you listen to me tell you about it?" Chen Ke asked.

Zhang Yu nodded, but did not speak. He looked really tired, and even after listening to Chen Ke's complete account of the concept of the social system and the spiritual cultivation of workers, Zhang Yu did not get excited. With a look of even more exhaustion, he asked, "Chairman Chen, what exactly is this problem?" Not enough social progress? Or is it not advertised enough? ”

"It's both. However, my feeling is that if one pursues not to experience the process of labor, but to enjoy the fruits of labor. It's useless to advertise this thing. And none of the people I know who are real workers find the process enjoyable, they all think it's hard. Every day, we have to spend a lot of hard work to transform ourselves and eliminate the attitude of not seeking truth from facts. Very, very hard. But these people are adamant that this is the only way to do it, and this is the way to do it. They don't even consider any other option than doing so. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Yu showed a mocking smile, "That's right. Absolutely. So I'm thinking about this question right now, if we make the truth clear to the people, how many people will follow us?! ”

Chen retorted: "But this kind of social system is indeed stronger than a system built on a system of exploitation. You should admit it. And most importantly, it is true that the real workers pay more labor and income than those who do not know how to work. The success of our People's Party proves that the working people are invincible when they unite to create a tomorrow for their own welfare. ”

"But will the people really believe that?" Zhang Yu asked.

Hearing this, Chen Ke suddenly remembered one thing, Grandpa Mao said, "The Central Propaganda Department is the palace of the king of Hades." In retrospect, the Central Propaganda Department has never engaged in this kind of propaganda. Thinking of this, Chen Ke suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhang Yu looked at Chen Ke who was laughing in amazement, he thought that Chen Ke would frown.

"Sure enough, it's not enough publicity." Chen Ke said with a smile. An incident that had always made Chen Ke feel very depressed suddenly came to fruition. The BJP is too weak now, not to mention anything else. In the matter of land reform alone, Chen Ke had to order all localities to do it, but don't say it. Because the anti-exploitation system and the exploitation system are incompatible, and the war between the two is life and death.

If the BJP is allowed to grow in such a way with its anti-exploitation platform, it will mean the demise of the exploiting classes in other regions. They will not sit idly by. Not only the exploiting class in China, but also the exploitative active in foreign countries will not turn a blind eye to the BJP.

Propaganda and anti-exploitation are not a problem, but what should the ruling class of those countries do if they take anti-exploitation as the fundamental system and establish a new regime, and the people in those countries with an exploitation system who cannot survive will do the same? People can't sit still.

As a learner of the lower reaches of history, Chen Ke has his own views on the revolution of that year. The revolution destroyed the old system and built a new system for the better. But these systems deviate slightly from the organizing point that the state is an instrument of class rule. Who is the ruling class, how can it consciously improve the ruling class itself, and how can it constantly transform other ruled classes into the ruling class, that is, "become the successor of the revolution", as I said before.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke suddenly realized. Why did he finally become a believer in Marx and Grandpa Mao after achieving nothing? That's because of his education, which forced Chen Ke to seek ways to transform himself from the truths told by these predecessors, to find ways to make himself a member of the ruling class. Through continuous study and practice, Chen Kecai realized that if a person cannot even rule himself, how can he effectively cooperate in society? If a person can't even understand himself, how can he find an effective way to communicate with others?

"Comrade Zhang Yu, do you think anyone in the Propaganda Department can understand these problems?" Chen Ke asked.

Zhang Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "What do you think of me?" ”

Chen Ke was stunned, "Are you willing to take on the work of the Propaganda Department?" ”

"I'm almost unbearable now, if I go to the Propaganda Department, I just need to use my mouth. I feel like I can take on the job. ”

"Haha! You're really lazy! Chen Ke was amused by Zhang Yu's truth, "The problem is that the work of the Propaganda Department is not easy at all, you have to pay attention to the public opinion situation in various places at all times, and the Propaganda Department has to keep up with every major move we take." This has to dominate the public opinion front. Therefore, the propaganda ministers of the provinces are all members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. ”

Zhang Yu didn't care about the evaluation of "lazy", he asked: "The Propaganda Department is led by our own comrades, is this right?" ”

"That's right."

"The Propaganda Department is not responsible for education, education is the business of the Ministry of Education, right?"

"That's right."

"The Propaganda Department is responsible for telling the truth to the masses and explaining clearly to the masses the problems we are facing and the contradictions in these problems in words that the masses can understand. That's right, right? ”

"That's right."

After getting a series of clear replies, Zhang Yu replied very simply, "Then I can do it." ”

Since Zhang Yu wanted to go to the Propaganda Department so much, Chen Ke also agreed with Zhang Yu's attitude, and said: "In this case, you can wait for the notice of the Personnel Department." However, you should prepare a propaganda content for me now, that is, to start implementing a comprehensive military service system in the base areas. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes widened, "Comprehensive military service system? ”

"Yes, we now have to carry out the infrastructure of the provinces through a large-scale recruitment of engineers, and the service is also an interaction between the people and society. The social significance of military service and the corresponding policy support provided by the "Military Service Law" in the base area for military dependents all need effective publicity. It's not an easy job at all. Chen Ke gave Zhang Yu a small sneer at the end of his words.
