"Mr. John Brown has won a big victory!"

"Five Southerners killed! It's so exciting! ”

"You have crutches, we have bullets!"

When Li Mengyang saw these news headlines from the Kansas newspapers, he couldn't believe that because of such a violent act, killing five people, it became glorious and righteous in the newspapers, and it seemed that no one was holding John Brown legally responsible!

That's a fucking exaggeration, isn't it?! Or rather, it's too fucking messy, isn't it?!

Li Mengyang originally thought that he had seen the chaos of the California Gold Rush, which was already very out of line, but compared with Kansas, it was simply not enough.

However, when Li Mengyang learned more about the situation, he was relieved.

First of all, the state of Kansas has not yet been established, but there is a state government here, and this government was built by the Yankees, you see, this is understandable, right? How could they not have made John Brown a hero?

In addition, John Brown is not a simple guy himself, and there must be someone behind him. Although I heard that this old man is a celebrity in the wool industry, this guy seems to be famous for losing money.

Even more interesting, though, are John Brown's 'abolitionist warriors'.

"My lads are the best!" This is what John Brown said most often, and it was absolutely heartfelt, because it was John Brown's son and son-in-law!

When Li Mengyang knew that this old guy who looked like his teaching director had 20 children, he was really shocked, and the key is that among these children, the boy grew up and came out to fight the world with their father, which ...... This is probably the most primitive method of 'recruiting' soldiers, right?

A white man who is so fanatical and devotes his whole body and mind to the abolition movement, Li Mengyang really can't understand it, he should set up his own revolutionary base......

"Today, I'm going to tell you about the ...... of 'class'."

The revolutionary base area, that is, the farm, has been established, and it is too late to sow seeds at this time, so he has to buy some lambs from John Brown and start animal husbandry first, but this can be regarded as stable, so why not Li Mengyang take this opportunity to instill revolutionary ideas in the disciples of the Continental Mountain Revival Association under his command?

A big wooden house was built before, and when the farm was completed, Li Mengyang also gave everyone a new set of clothes, which the Chinese workers didn't say, but the Irish didn't want clothes, they preferred cash, so these individuals sitting in this big wooden house had a very clear feeling.

However, Li Mengyang spoke in English this time.

“…… In fact, to put it simply, we are all proletarians, you Irish, we Chinese workers, we are all at the bottom of society, we are all oppressed, that is, those capitalists, landlords, they oppress us because they control the means of production, but in fact, we individuals, we are the ones who directly use the means of production, is it good? Have any of you ever seen the boss of a company who goes to work at his workstation every day? However, the value we have worked, produced, and obtained has been appropriated by the capitalists......"

Don't say it, Li Mengyang's research monk is not fake, at least as far as the things in "Capital" are concerned, he is still clear, you know, now Marx and Engels are in the prime of life, and they have not yet come up with this book, that is to say, Li Mengyang's indoctrination is definitely the most advanced revolutionary theory in the world at this time!

"That's not right!" Unexpectedly, such an advanced theory was questioned by someone who was an Irishman in old clothes.

"What's wrong?" Li Mengyang was really taken aback, and said in his heart, you are an Irishman, you were poor before, you sold yourself to the poor, do you have the time to study social issues? Can you question the Great Guru?

"I am not a proletariat! I'm a man with over $200 now, how can I be a proletarian? ”

"......" Li Mengyang was speechless at that time, it turned out that this guy was questioning this.

"Why are there more than 200 left? Didn't you brag to me about your $300 before? ”

"Hahaha, I think this kid has gone to find the in Lawrence City, right?!"

"Hahaha......"

All of a sudden, there were those who made a heckle and there were those who laughed, and that guy was not ashamed at all, and he also talked about the details and process of finding the lost girl.

"You bastards, be quiet!" Matthew's side was actually coaxing, but as soon as he swept Li Mengyang's face was not good-looking, this guy came out to preside over the order.

In fact, in the hearts of the Irish, they don't buy much of Li Mengyang, it's just that Matthew, the leader of the Irishmen at this time, he respects Li Mengyang, and they even have some respect for Li Mengyang, otherwise, these guys probably won't come to this place to listen to any damn lectures.

Li Mengyang also understands this, and he also knows very well that he has the biggest problem, that is, he is too young!

Yes, it's really hard to convince the public like a sixteen-year-old child, you know, in fact, the white society still attaches great importance to age, unless you are a nobleman, otherwise, Mao is not Zhang Qi, and you still want to care about Lao Tzu?

"Even if you have $200 now, you are still a proletarian, because you do not have the means of production, and the money in your hand cannot be an increment, and you will soon spend it all." Li Mengyang went on to say that in terms of theory, no one in this room would be his opponent.

But right away, the problem came again.

"Mr. Eastwood! I would like to ask, why do you emphasize that we are the same as you Chinese workers? ”

Hey, this question is very good, and there are still contradictions between the Irish and the Chinese workers, although they are temporarily covered up by one victory after another led by Li Mengyang, but there are still ah.

How did Li Mengyang answer?

"I know what you really mean, that is, the Chinese workers have robbed you of your jobs, then, we and you should be enemies, right?"

Li Mengyang's words made the Chinese workers present a little surprised, it was too straightforward, they looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that their English is already okay.

"That's right! That's what I mean! The Irishman looked at Li Mengyang as if he was provocative.

"Very well, so let me ask you a question first, you must have been in a lot of similar situations, haven't you?" Li Mengyang was unmoved, he still had a smile on his face.

"Yes, I worked in several mines before the San Juan Hill Silver Mine, and those Chinese laborers were always stealing our jobs, and I have to admit that they were really good at their work, they could endure hardships, and they were better at work than we did."

This is not wrong at all, Chinese workers may be numb, they may be ignorant, but they are really good at work, not only capable, but also very good at using their brains, Li Mengyang is deeply experienced. And this is a job grab, so naturally there are many reasons, but Li Mengyang was not ready to say so comprehensively, he asked again.

"Then let me ask you another question, you should have driven out the Chinese workers before, right?"

Hey, this question......

"That's right! We've done this before! ”

They also admit it.

Li Mengyang: What do you want to do? Are you ready to avenge the Chinese workers? He asked another question.

"So, after the Chinese workers were driven away, have your salaries been promoted?"

"This ......"

As soon as Li Mengyang's question came out, the Irishman who asked was speechless at that time.

"Hehe......" Matthew this guy smiled, he saw a wave on Li Mengyang's face, which was completely inconsistent with his age's maturity and spiciness, obviously, this debate, if it can be called a debate, then Li Mengyang has already won.

Sure enough, I only heard Li Mengyang say.

"Although I have not worked with you, I can help you answer this question, that is, those mine owners, capitalists, they will never raise your salary! Moreover, the Chinese workers were driven away by you, but who were those jobs that were originally Chinese laborers? You must be doing it, right? So, why is this happening? ”

Li Mengyang's words were sonorous and powerful, where is a sixteen-year-old child.

The Irishman was in a cold sweat at this time, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all, Li Mengyang simply continued.

"I can also sue you for the reason! It's very simple, that is, the capitalists are always in pursuit of the greatest profit! Their most desired state is that you, we, will do the work for them, but we will not be paid a penny, and that is the best! So, how can they be kind to you because the Chinese workers have been driven away by you? They will definitely find new Chinese workers, or they will fire you because you are making trouble, so that they will not even be paid! ”

In this way, the profit-seeking nature of capital was explained by Li Mengyang, and the absolute theory was combined with practice.

But he didn't finish speaking, "I have a certain understanding of this matter when you deal with Chinese workers, because Chinese workers do have many shortcomings, but I want to say that you have found the wrong person!" It is the oppression of the capitalists that makes this situation happen, just imagine, if you set the wages in a reasonable range, instead of letting the capitalists unilaterally say the word, then you can get what you want, and the Chinese workers will have more money not to earn? Therefore, the root of a qiē is not in the Chinese workers, but in those mine owners and capitalists! ”

Li Mengyang's words are definitely the most advanced theory of this era, although his statement is not perfect, such as the definition of 'minimum wage', which is contrary to the free market economy, and there are indeed good capitalists, this Li Mengyang himself admits it, but at this time, in the middle of the 19th century, this theory is right, because the current capitalists, most of them, are really not things!

"WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS ENSLAVED BLACK SLAVES IN THE SOUTH, HIRED CHILD LABOR IN THE NORTH, BUYING PIGLETS, BUYING IRISHMEN, BUYING SHANGHAIERS...... If you can hire people without spending money, the capitalists can go and curse God! So, do we, the bitter proletarians who have nothing, still have to fight among ourselves? ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... Matthew, an Irishman, took the lead in applauding, and then in this 'big classroom', everyone stood up and applauded!

Li Mengyang's heart at this time, it would be nonsense to say that he was not excited, but he had to hold on, ......

"That's great! I'm going to hear it too! "Suddenly, Eleanor barged in!
