140 Each Has His Own Plan (Part I)
Kamenev cupped, at this time he no longer had the right talent, slumped in his seat like a defeated rooster, listless and looked very decadent. Even Sukhanov, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sigh, he understood Kamenev's mood too well at this time, in that gray day in 1912, he was also full of pessimism like Kamenev, and the culprit of all this was standing on the podium with high spirits, like a triumphant general.
Sukhanov thought that he had attached great importance to Lenin, thinking that he already knew the combat effectiveness of this little man, and according to his ideas, this time Kamenev suddenly attacked, even if he could not succeed in seizing power, he could catch Lenin off guard, and if he was lucky, it would not be difficult for Lenin to lose his armor and collapse for a thousand miles.
But who would have thought that a moment ago, he was still surrounded by enemies on his back, and he looked like a lonely person
Ning, inadvertently came to a big turnaround, K Kamenev was full of bags. This great turn of events, which has a very comic effect, made Sukhanov very painful. I don't understand why Lenin's seemingly casual words are so lethal!
Sukhanov, of course, did not understand the reason for Lenin's victory, and this was the biggest difference between him and Lenin. As a revolutionary theoretician, or revolutionary idealist, Sukhanov was qualified to engage in pure revolutionary theory. If he is given enough time to study theories in depth, he will not become Marx, and it is still very possible to reach the level of Plekhanov.
However, those who are good at theory will certainly be able to truly guide a revolution. For example, Lao Ma and Lao En, in the theoretical world, it is Taishan Beidou, but in the revolutionary practice world, it can be said that they have made no achievements.
What's the problem? To put it bluntly, there is a typical disunity between knowledge and action in philosophy, and a pedant like Sukhanov is too idealistic and dogmatic, and the revolution must always be measured by the standards of books. If the conditions of the revolution do not fit perfectly with the dogma in the books, he thinks that it is undesirable, and even if the voice of the masses is enthusiastic, he hesitates to take one step and two steps back.
If it sounds good, it is called the pursuit of perfection, and if it is not good, it is a dead brain. And columns
Ning is not a dead brain, his brain is very alive, and he will never honestly not dig the grave of the tsar and the provisional government just because Lao Ma said according to the old yellow calendar that it is not suitable to break ground today. He was very bold and flexible, fully aware that although the foundation of the proletarian revolution was not solid, the time was fully ripe for revolution. If we don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm afraid we will have to wait until another 20 or 30 years, when the pattern of the world is reshuffled again, and then there will be a new opportunity.
Of course, Lenin did not allow to wait so long, he was almost fifty years old, and he could not wait until he was seventy or eighty years old to launch a mass revolution, right? Even if he succeeds at that time, how much time is left for him to transform Russia and build socialism?
Lenin's political ambitions were so great that he would never allow such a painful thing to happen to him, and in his opinion as long as he seized the present opportunity, he did not have to waste twenty or thirty years of time, and it was better to hurry up than to wait for later. Besides, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and instead of leaving your fate in the hands of others like the Mensheviks, it is better to take the initiative and be the master of your own destiny.
So what conditions are not ripe, what has illusions about the Provisional Government, to him
Rather, it's not a problem. There is only one thought in his heart - Lao Tzu wants to revolution, there is no difficulty to revolution, and there is a revolution to overcome difficulties! Anyone who doesn't follow me will get out, no matter what kind of old revolutionary qualifications you are, without you Zhang Butcher Lao Tzu will still eat hairy pigs.
In terms of revolutionary determination, Sukhanov was a big step behind Lenin, and in terms of trying to figure out people's hearts, he could not catch up with Lenin. From the very beginning of the February Revolution, Lenin was keenly aware that the Russian people's endurance had reached the limit, and this situation was like a manic stubborn donkey, which, when it went berserk, added punches and kicks with sticks, and the donkey did not overturn you with one foot. What to do? You can only touch the hair, let it vent, let it extinguish the fire, and meet its requirements as much as possible, even if this request seems unreasonable, you must accept it. …,
But does the Provisional Government have the means to do so? To speak in good conscience, these second-class goods are still alive in the Tsarist era, and they think they can fool the common people below. Lenin really wanted to say to these fools, man, wake up, you are an empty regime, less controllable than Nicholas II, and you want to fool the masses, do you really know how to write the dead word?
And Sukhanov and his ilk think that they have a long-term view and think that they are defending the interests of Russia, but you also have to think that maintaining the current state of affairs is definitely inconsistent with the interests of stubborn donkeys. People have rioted, rioted, rebelled, you still think that like a monk, reciting two verses that do not relieve hunger and anger, you can turn war into jade silk, Nima, don't think that you are a monk with little hair, who birds you!
It's like a harmonious country in later generations, the imperial court is shouting verbally to regulate housing prices and prices, but it doesn't rain when it thunders, and it makes the CPI higher and higher month by month, who are you fooling!
Today's Russia is a situation that can no longer be fooled, the original pattern is already full of holes, and the seams and patches cannot withstand the ravages of the storm, as the so-called can only completely dismantle the original pattern and rebuild.
But whether it is Plekhanov, Sukhanov, Tsikhze, Donn, Martov and the like, they just can't let go of the original rags and are ready to continue to work hard and be a hard mason. What can the rioting fart people do, not only to let these old antiques be buried with this dilapidated house.
To put it bluntly, reality gave Lenin only two choices, either to bury someone else or to be buried by someone else. He has grand ambitions and lofty ideals, so naturally he doesn't want to lie in the grave, so he can only be a gravedigger.
It is a pity that Lenin could see and think, not that everyone in the Bolsheviks could see and think, and although they were not very satisfied with the current state of affairs, but did not make up their revolutionary determination to overthrow the Provisional Government, they were in a dilemma, and they had to sit and watch. There was complete indifference to Lenin's April Theses, that is, on the tasks of the proletariat in this revolution. What is more, it is sarcastic and ridiculed, and Lenin is not taken seriously at all.
This gave hope to some people with ulterior motives, and when Lenin ended his speech and began to discuss his report on a small scale, Kamenev, who had already died down, jumped out again: "I am firmly against this report!" In today's revolutionary situation, such rhetoric can only be misleading. I don't think this report should be published publicly, and it would be a crime to even talk about it publicly! ”
Kamenev has completely gotten out of his mind, and he has already torn his face with Lenin anyway, so he doesn't care about anything. Now, his only thought is that he is sad, and he can't make you comfortable, as long as Lao Tzu is still the editor-in-chief of Pravda for a day, and he will not let you publish this ridiculous thing.
However, Kamenev is still too young, and although the editor-in-chief of Pravda has a lot of voice in the party, this does not mean that Pravda is his hall. More than half a month ago, even a certain immortal who was a mass outside the party could make him disgraced, let alone Lenin, the leader of the party.
Lenin simply ignored Kamenev and said lightly: "Pravda's work needs to be adjusted." Since March, Pravda's editorial office has been besieged again and again by the masses of workers, a situation that is extremely rare and extremely bad. It has greatly affected the image of our party among the proletariat, and as a party to the incident, Comrade Kamenev must make a profound review! ”
Kamenev was slapped on the head, he was speechless, he wanted to fight back, but what Lenin said was the truth, and Lenin did not intend to give him another chance to argue, so he immediately gave instructions: "In view of this, Comrade Kamenev and Comrade Stalin will step down from Pravda and form a new editorial office with me, Dzerzhinsky and Zinoviev...... ...,
Kamenev finally could not bear it, and he strongly objected: "I absolutely disagree with this conclusion, since I returned to Petrograd with Comrade Stalin in March, I have been quietly presiding over the work of Pravda, and although there have been some minor problems, on the whole our Pravda has been unanimously affirmed by the working masses. I think it's too hasty to ask us to hand over our positions in such an unexplained way! ”
Kamenev kept glancing at Stalin sitting in the corner, he thought that Stalin, who had been dismissed like himself, would stand by him, but who would have thought that Stalin did not bird him at all, but instead made self-criticism:
"I must admit my mistakes to Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee, for in a month Pravda has made two major mistakes in a row, and Comrade Kamenev and I have to shoulder the responsibility of leadership......"
Kamenev was dumbfounded, Stalin's words suddenly forced him into a corner, if he didn't admit his mistake, he was afraid that he would be against the Central Committee, but if he admitted his mistake, then Lenin would not step him into the ground.
You have to save yourself! Otherwise, it's over!
Kamenev was anxious and flustered, glanced at the people in the venue, he put his only hope on his old friend Zinoviev, and opened his mouth to say: "I admit that there are some mistakes in the work, but I think these are flaws, not to mention that there are deep objective reasons for these mistakes...... And I am definitely not the kind of person who ignores the interests of the party and the proletariat...... Comrade Zinoviev, you know me best, please say a few fair words for me! ”
