Chapter 1075: Revolutionaries from Russia Ask for a monthly pass
This dialogue between Engels and Marx was later included in the Complete Works of Marx and was named "Struggle, Compromise, and Struggle". In this article, both Marx and Engels affirmed the necessity of economic struggle and compromise between proletarians and capitalists until the final victory of GCISM.
After all, it seems that there is still a lot of productive forces that capitalism can accommodate, and I am afraid that it will not be able to fully unleash them in a few decades......
However, the purpose of Engels' visit was not to discuss these long-term issues with Marx, but to ask this "China expert" to help advocate the "China Theory" so that it would be easier to raise funds or hire truly talented technicians from the financial markets of London and Paris.
Of course, the argument that Chinese demand will save the UK economy is the most popular at the moment. Human beings like to solve complex problems in simple ways, and avoid painful changes that can really solve the root causes, which is probably why the capitalist system can survive into the 21st century by tinkering after suffering from crisis after crisis.
While Engels and his assistant Scopel were busy carrying out business missions throughout Britain, Paris, the capital of the French Empire, also welcomed two guests from China. , Zhu Jishi's two wives, they came to France to attend the wedding of Zhu Jishi's eldest son Zhu Guojie and Princess Helena of the United Kingdom. It's just a little early. Zhu Guojie is only 14 years old this year. Helena was only 13 years old. The planned wedding was to take place in the second half of 1859 or the first half of 186o. There are at least 2 years left until now.
It was the autumn of 1857 and winter approaching, and the two imperial concubines had arrived in Paris. After resting for a while, Luo Xiangju went to the United Kingdom to meet her son, who was studying at Eton College, and the mother and son were really separated and pitiful.
On the other hand, it is very low-key to visit relatives and friends, sightseeing and playing.
……
"Hell. Work is happening everywhere. ”
In a carriage that shuttled through the streets of Paris, Maria's lady, Madame Adedelai, the governor of Fort Maria, looked out the window and whispered a whisper.
At this time, France under Napoleon III was certainly more prosperous than it was in history, and France's losses in the Crimean War were far smaller than in history, and the gains were far greater than in history. The special friendship with the Ming Empire and the Mexican Empire allowed French goods to have two vast overseas markets. As a result, the large-scale construction and renovation of Paris also arrived two years ahead of schedule. The ambitious Napoleon III was now bent on making his stinking capital the richest and most prosperous capital of the world.
But until this ambitious goal was achieved, Paris was a messy construction site. There was dust and construction debris everywhere, and even the roads were muddy from the muddy water that flowed from the construction site.
Horse-drawn carriages traveled along the streets and alleys. It seems to be aimless, just to let Maria, who has been away from Paris for a long time, see the city she loves. I don't know how long it took to go around, but as a coachman with an oriental face tightened the reins, the galloping carriage finally stopped.
Then, the door of the carriage opened.
Then they came to a small apartment.
It's a dilapidated house in disrepair, and I don't know how many years old, so that the whole thing exudes an unpleasantly old atmosphere. The streets were also dilapidated, with a series of such dilapidated houses, uncleaned garbage, feces floating around with the smell of garbage, and a few prostitutes with heavy makeup standing around the corner of the street to do business. Such a place is really not something that a noble lady like Maria should haunt.
She felt a few eyes on her and Aledlai, perhaps because they were so incompatible with their outstanding looks and noble temperament.
Maria, however, stood motionless and straight, while Aledley looked around warily, and her right hand could not resist reaching into the bag she was carrying, which contained a loaded revolver.
"Don't be nervous, it's safe here." Maria lightly to her female.
"But there are a couple of ill-intentioned men staring at us." Aledley hurriedly explained.
"That shows we're not in the wrong place!" Maria, a veteran Bonapartist who had seen the storm, only smiled and said, "This is the stronghold of the Russian revolutionaries in France!" ”
Russian revolutionaries! It was the Russian revolutionary in the middle of the 19th century, and he was the grandfather of Lenin and his old man, and he also had a little incense with the 8ooo revolutionaries of a certain country in later generations.
The origins of the Russian Revolution can be traced back to the Decembrist uprising of 1825, a group of aristocratic officers infected with Western European liberal ideas in a vain attempt to overthrow the Tsar**.
Of course, the insurrection certainly did not succeed and was crushed by Nicholas I lightly. However, the idea of rebellion was not easy to extinguish, and in the following ten or twenty years, the bad ideas against the tsar** were still spread among some of the aristocratic youth of the Russian upper class, and even spread to Western Europe along with some Russian students. He also exchanged and studied with a large number of politicians and thinkers who believed in or put forward various isms, such as anarchists, GC ists, and utopian socialists, who were currently rampant in Western Europe.
Moreover, these Russian revolutionaries were different from those theorists in Western Europe who liked researchism, and most of them were doers, and they also liked to be eclectic, to take the strengths of each of them, and then to combine them with the practice of the Russian Revolution. In short, he is the master who can make things louder, much better than the theoreticians in Western Europe who can only play tricks and shake the pen.
The October Revolution could not have started without a little background!
A Slavic young man, who was a little shorter than Maria, came out of a dark alley, came to Maria, and asked in blunt French: "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Who are you looking for? ”
Maria, for her part, replied in French, with a strong Polish accent: ", from Danzesk,. I have been in contact with Mr. Bakunin by letter and have made an appointment to meet today. Then she pointed to Aledley beside her, "She's Lisa, my housekeeper." ”
"Are you German?" The Slav spoke Polish.
Maria, for her part, replied in standard Polish: "I am a Pole, a free Pole!" ”
The state of Poland, which still exists, is the product of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, known as the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of the Polish Conference, or Russian Poland, with Tsar Alexander II as king. But such a Russian-dominated Poland was not recognized by a section of Polish separatists, and Maria was now playing a female Polish separatist who inherited a huge inheritance from her ex-husband, so she called herself "a free Pole." Incidentally, there was a part of the Russian revolutionaries in this period who wanted to exploit the power of the Polish national separatists, so they all professed sympathy or support for Poland**, and the same is true of the Russian revolutionary boss Bakunin, whom Maria is going to meet today.
The Slavic lad nodded, still in Polish: "Wait a minute. So saying, he turned and went into the dilapidated house, which had fallen into disrepair. (To be continued......)
