Trotsky did not expect that Lenin would give him a surprise attack when he was approaching, and the whole program was very brilliant, not only with considerable creativity, but also with a considerable degree of operability. Of course, the most terrifying thing is not these two face-to-face, what is even more powerful is that there are not many loopholes in the whole plan, so he can't find fault if he wants to.

Truth be told, this program was refreshing to Trotsky, who never thought that socialism could do the same. But more than that, there is deep jealousy. True, even Trotsky could not help but be jealous of Lenin, who had just felt that Lenin had commanded the advice of others, but he himself was not very creative. And now this plan is a slap in the face, compared with this plan, the appointment of old officers and intellectuals that he proposed before is like a pediatric.

Even Trotsky, who was reluctant to admit it, had to say that Lenin was indeed superior to him on this issue.

Of course, like Trotsky's previous proposals, Lenin's highly creative proposal was also subject to great controversy: a joint venture with the bourgeoisie, or even allowing the petty bourgeoisie to exist in the future, is this still socialism?

At least one person was disgusted with this plan, and he was Stalin, who, for steel, was originally hiding outside and smoking a cigarette, out of sight and out of mind. Trotsky's plan annoyed him enough, but who would have thought that he would see an even more infuriating plan just after he returned.

The most unacceptable thing for him is that this plan is still made up by the mentor, what happened to Nima today? Does the core boss of the Politburo take turns to show the lower limit?

"This plan is simply unacceptable!" Stalin shook his fist angrily. "This is a betrayal of the revolution and the proletariat," he roared angrily. It is to give our country back to the bourgeoisie! ”

Stalin's attitude is very representative of a section of diehards. For them, classes are insurmountable mountains, and to build socialism is to build a high wall between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat that no one can climb, to completely isolate and imprison the enemies of these classes, so that they will never be able to turn over.

And now, Lenin wants to dig a dog hole in this high wall, so that the bourgeoisie can survive, how can this be allowed!

For a while, the conference room was bustling with shouts, and the members of the Central Committee were talking in whispers. Some of the bold ones even pointed at Lenin's plan, and one can imagine how great the resistance should be.

Is there a lot of resistance? It was only a small scene for Lenin, and when he returned home in April, it was called a big resistance, and compared to that time, the situation now is like that of a child. He looked at the desktop and said in a deep voice: "Be quiet, don't talk to each other, you can raise any questions in person!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Stalin again, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that the first of the goods had jumped out and sang a contradictory tone. I saw him say solemnly to the steel: "Make a joint venture with the bourgeoisie and use their funds to build our motherland." How did it become a betrayal of the proletariat? Comrade Joseph, how did you come to such superficial conclusions? ”

As soon as Stalin was about to speak, Lenin unceremoniously stopped him, "At present, our country and regime are facing an economic crisis and a food crisis, and without money and trade routes, we have only a dead end." How the tsar was overthrown in February last year, have you forgotten. If you can't keep the people fed and clothed, and you can't solve their practical problems, what kind of bullshit socialism is it? ”

Speaking of this, Lenin suddenly raised his voice and said very sternly: "Socialism is not pauperism, it is not poorer and more miserable than anyone else!" It's not a mess! What we need to do is to change the old face of poverty and backwardness in Russia, and to build a new society! In the current very difficult situation, we must mobilize all our efforts and use all means to contain and defuse the severe economic crisis! ”

Stalin seemed to be intimidated by Lenin's momentum, and when Lenin stopped, he forgot to ask a question, pinched his pipe and opened his mouth wide to look at his mentor like a fool, unable to utter a word.

Stalin did not speak, and the Mentor naturally did not care about his right to speak, and he said earnestly: "To get out of the present crisis, it is necessary to have a large injection of funds, and although we have obtained some of the funds through the confiscation of bourgeois industry, that money is far from enough. And money alone is not enough, I must remind the comrades present that we are facing a severe blockade by the Entente, and if we do not cooperate with the bourgeoisie abroad, there will be no food and other necessary materials. ”

The cacophony of voices in the room faded away, but that was not to say that Lenin had completely impressed everyone present. Some people may have been deeply touched by Lenin's speech, but many more people may have been only intimidated by Lenin's momentum, and Lenin choked them with his authority, so that they could not make any sound.

Glancing around the audience, Lenin seemed to be satisfied with the effect of his domineering sideshow, and he raised his head and spoke in an impassioned tone: "And cooperating with the bourgeoisie is far from betraying the interests of the proletariat. In the whole plan, we have greatly limited the areas of cooperation, and all pillar industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood are not allowed to exist in foreign capital. For example, military industry, energy, steel, transportation, and financial fields. In these respects, absolute nationalization, the maintenance of the dominance of the proletariat, is non-negotiable. It is only in those relatively minor areas that a part of foreign capital is allowed to exist, and in those respects even if they have bad intentions cannot shake the foundations of our rule! ”

Another part of the Central Committee seemed to have been impressed by Lenin, and if the sphere of cooperation was greatly restricted, then there really was no need to worry excessively. Moreover, even in these areas, the bourgeoisie could not achieve absolute superiority, and according to Lenin's program, the two sides were fifty against fifty, and neither could help the other.

Stalin, however, was not so easily persuaded, and he asked, with obvious dissatisfaction: "How can we then safeguard and guarantee the rights and interests of the working class in these so-called joint ventures?" Follow this plan. Although the equity is comparable. But in reality, they are still controlling the business. With the exploitative nature of the bourgeoisie, they will only suck the last drop of blood of the working class! ”

This is a very acute question, at least many of the bigwigs here have the same fear, just liberated the workers from the clutches of the bourgeoisie in their own country, and sent them back to hell, can the workers be satisfied and acceptable?

"I have discussed this issue in detail with Comrade Sverdlov and Comrade Andrei." Lenin said slowly, "How to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the working class is a very crucial issue. But this problem is not unsolvable, and there is no possibility that it cannot be reconciled. Our party firmly controls the political power, and as a party that defends the proletariat, it is our essential job to safeguard the interests of the working class. The interests of the working class can be safeguarded by the government and the party organizations by regulating the exploitation of the bourgeoisie through administrative and legislative means, limiting their exploitation to an acceptable limit...... Moreover, we also have trade unions. By establishing a seamless connection between trade unions, party organizations, and the government, we can regulate the exploitation of the bourgeoisie! ”

Many members of the Central Committee nodded secretly. Consider Lenin's program acceptable. This situation made Stalin secretly anxious, and he quickly asked: "But exploitation still exists, doesn't it?" The purpose of our party's existence is to build a society completely free from exploitation. ”

Stalin's question, not to mention Lenin, even Sverdlov could not stand it, this question is too naïve, the elimination of all exploitation is a lofty ideal, a blueprint or not. Even MARX said that there were prerequisites. There is no time when there is great material abundance, when the people's ideological consciousness is completely activated, and the elimination of exploitation is just a slogan and a rhetoric on paper!

"Comrade Joseph, I think you're completely on the tip of the bull's horns right now! The current economic foundation of our country and the consciousness of the people determine that it is impossible for us to step into a communist society in one step. Equality in the true sense of the word is impossible for the time being! What we can, what we can do and what we are working towards is to build a relatively fair society in a short period of time! If, as you say, exploitation is completely eliminated, then our regime will also be the object of extermination! ”

If Li Xiaofeng could hear Sverdlov's speech, he would probably agree with this view. In the current situation, is it possible to completely eliminate exploitation? It is simply impossible, and if there is no exploitation if there is no state ownership or collective ownership?

It is certainly impossible, and the vast majority of the profits of state-owned enterprises are taken away by the national government, the biggest exploitative leader, except for the funds needed to maintain the operation and upgrading of the enterprises. To put it mildly, the later Soviet government was the biggest exploiter of the whole country, and they used the will of the state to brutally oppress the proletarian laborers, and most of the benefits were enjoyed by a very small number of privileged classes. And the source of all this is the exploitative comrades who have just been clamoring for elimination.

Honestly, it's blushing! As Sverdlov said, if exploitation is to be completely eliminated, then the Soviet power must first be abolished, and after complete nationalization, it will be the only exploiting class in Russia.

Fortunately, all the members of the Central Committee present here understood that it was impossible and unrealistic to eliminate exploitation in a real sense for the time being, and that using this signboard as a cover was tantamount to nonsense.

At that time, including Stalin, they were all singing praises for the bourgeois Provisional Government. Speaking of which, why didn't Stalin shout at that time what to do to eliminate exploitation?

To put it bluntly, those black and white words in theory are not much better for politicians than butt wiping paper. When it is useful for one's own interests, then it is a classic and an ancestral precept, not to mention violation, that is, a little bad attitude is enough to drag out of the gang and be shot; And what about when this thing doesn't work? Hehe, it's really better to wipe the butt paper, it's too hard to wipe the butt!

Why did Stalin oppose this program? The fundamental reason was profit, and at the beginning he scolded Trotsky for a long time over the question of an old officer and an old intellectual. And even after the program was adopted. He also angrily left the table in protest. It completely puts on the frame of being a spokesman for the interests of the proletariat.

Of course. The proletariat was represented by him, but in any case, Stalin's position was already defined - even if the starting point was not to completely safeguard the interests of the proletariat, but the opposition to the capitalist roaders and the counterattack of the bourgeoisie became his core task.

Now, however, Lenin has thrown out a plan that is even more deviant than Trotsky's, and if he does not pay a blind eye to it, and does not even let out a fart, the political image he has just worked so hard to build will collapse at once. Steel is also more or less the boss of the Politburo. He still has to save some face for himself, so he must have a correct attitude at this time!

Naturally, face is still only a secondary factor, and politicians never live by face. In opposition to Lenin's program, Stalin in the final analysis was motivated by his own political interests. As the Mentor said just now, this plan was made by him after discussing with Sverdlov and a certain immortal.

What does this mean? At least Stalin had an idea - such an important line plan, such an important decision, you didn't even consult me. And just having a little meeting with Sverdlov and some kid alone was going to leave me out. This speaks volumes about your distrust of me. and who will benefit the most from the implementation of this plan at the end of the year.

It's obvious! Sverdlov would certainly reap the benefits, and a little kid would be able to reap the benefits. And I, Stalin, can only stare dryly. Although Stalin already knew that blindly looking for trouble with Xiao Si was not the best policy, but let him watch his political opponents make a lot of political merits, hehe, the cautious steel is really not so generous.

What's more, he is still very angry, so he naturally wants to stop it, and he personally feels that there is not much risk of disobedience at this time, and he may even overturn the mentor's plan. For what? The attitude of the Central Committee is very important, and there are many people in the entire Central Committee who hold positions similar to him, and most of them may find it difficult to accept the plan of the Mentor in their hearts.

At this time, it was of great symbolic significance that Stalin took the lead in firing the first shot of opposition! Maybe it will be able to win the favor of many members of the Central Committee, even if it is only a good impression now, and it will not play a big role. But with a good feeling and a common language, you can slowly manage your feelings! Maybe one day in the future, everyone will be on the same front.

Of course, you must not only look at the benefits, but also estimate the risks. Opposing the Guru is quite risky. Anyway, the last time Stalin made the same attempt, he was covered with bags. Stalin was not the kind of fool who would fall twice in the same pit, and after the lesson of the previous time, he would not dare to make a second mistake without enough certainty.

So what was Stalin sure about? Or as I mentioned earlier, there are many people with similar views to him, so many people can't be knocked over with one shot, right? You must know that these are all genuine members of the Central Committee, even if they are mentors, they have to be leisurely.

It was precisely because of the large number of people that Stalin could be a little presumptuous, at least he was not unconventional and less conspicuous even if he opposed it. He was merely speaking the voices of the other members of the Central Committee, which is called representativeness. In this case, even if Lenin wanted to smoke it, it could not be too heavy, at most it would mean something.

And Stalin also had something to say: "I am not against it for the sake of opposition, and I am not playing against you, my teacher." I really don't understand this approach ideologically, I'm dedicated to the public!! ”

Lenin was generally more tolerant of people who were devoted to the common good, the most obvious example being Dzerzhinsky, who did not like it. However, every time Dzerzhinsky opposed him, he did it on a case-by-case basis, and as a result, the tutor could only buy it, and he could not hold a grudge.

And Stalin now disguised himself as Dzerzhinsky, and with the aforementioned law of not holding the people accountable, he calculated whether the Mentor could do anything to him.

It should be said that Stalin's strategy was correct, but unfortunately, the result was unsatisfactory, and the mentor spent a lot of money in order to implement his plan, and even used his political authority. And there was Sverdlov on the side to help beat the side drum, even if there were still a large number of members of the Central Committee who did not understand or had opinions, they did not dare to confront the mentor and Xiao Si who were angry with Wang Ba.

As his supporters began to die down, Stalin was a bit of a bird out of the woods, because he had hidden himself in a forest. Now that he is in a league of his own, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he will definitely be shot in the head.

Anyway, Stalin knew that if he continued to persevere, he was afraid that he would be exposed, and there would be no good fruit to eat. Of course, he is also very skillful, which can be regarded as a advance or retreat: "On this issue, I maintain my own opinion. Even if this plan is to be implemented, it must be done with caution and must not take too many steps...... Of course, I would like you to listen to the views of other comrades, such as Comrade Trotsky, Comrade Lenin. He is also at a high level on related issues, and he has not spoken, presumably he is thinking deeply about this issue, so it is better to let him talk about his own opinions......"
