002.Friends and foes (2)

"Before I get into that, I would like to ask you a question, do anyone think that we can defeat the Federation and Zeon with these people alone, and we can achieve communism?"

Of course, this is impossible, and some of the people here may be more impulsive, but none of them are stupid, let alone Showa Youth Shoguns, at least they do not think that they can reform society by relying on a few hundred people to launch a mutiny, and this point does not need to be emphasized repeatedly by Lear.

This is also due to the fact that Lear recruits members, and those who don't know how to think independently will not teach them philosophy.

Lear suddenly sensed something moving outside the door, but he looked carefully, but it didn't seem to be anything, he got up vigilantly and looked out, but he didn't find anything.

He quickly returned to his seat and resumed the meeting.

"Well, having made clear the premise that we cannot complete the revolution on our own, then the biggest problem we face at this stage is obvious." Lear said.

"We need to unite all the forces that can be united."

"And the question is, who are we referring to?"

"Just all of you? Or is it our organization? Or all the people we want to help? ”

"Who can we unite? Who can be included in the scope of 'us' and who is what 'we' need to fight? ”

"That's why I'm asking you to clarify this issue first."

"Who are our friends and who are our enemies?"

"Everyone has read my article "The Basic Conditions of All Social Strata in the 70 Years of the Universe Century", so they must have some thoughts of their own."

"To summarize simply, the conclusion is that it is the proletarians that we can unite, and it is the propertied that needs to be attacked."

"But we must analyze clearly, who are the proletarians, who are the propertied people, and whether there is an ambiguous class in the middle, and those people will firmly support us, and those people, although they are proletarians, will not come close to us?"

"Thanks to the peculiarities of our time," Lear said with a sarcastic smile: "The class structure of humanity has never been clearer than it is today." ”

"Because of the development of space and the progress of agricultural technology, a large number of farmers have lost their land and entered the universe, and a small number of farmers have become agricultural workers, just like ordinary workers."

"The disappearance of the peasant as a profession as a whole in the cosmic century has caused the complete disappearance of the semi-proletarian or petty bourgeoisie, which was the largest in the past, and the vast majority of the petty bourgeoisie has completely lost all its property and has become proletarians, while a small or even part of them have become propertied with the wave of cosmic exploitation."

"We all know that a stable social class structure is a pyramid structure, with the laborers at the bottom, the small propertied people at the middle level, and the large propertied people at the top, and the biggest social problem of human beings today is that the polarization is serious, the middle layer almost completely disappears, and society has become an hourglass structure."

"This tendency is evident, especially in the colonies of the universe, where today there are only two classes, the proletariat and the propertied class that holds capital."

"In the cosmic century, people are in space and have little capital in their hands except themselves, because this age is not only the land, but even the air we breathe belongs strictly to private individuals, to the propertied classes and to the colonial governments they control."

"People who come from this environment are born with their destiny determined by their origins, and as I say in my book, this is the fundamental reason why electocratic ism is rampant in the colonies, because they themselves live in such a society, and some people are just different from others."

"This is the reality, and we must admit realistically that there is inequality between people, and that the so-called democracy and freedom of the Federation and Zeon are lies."

"Today, people from proletarian families, whether they are ordinary families, or even lower families, are faced with the situation that they have to work for the capitalists, not because they love the capitalists or their work, but because they have no choice but to do so, and this is the same for any non-propertied family, and of course they are different from each other, for example, some people sell themselves for a higher reward, but there is no essential difference between them."

"This is because there is no essential difference between the Commonwealth and the Zeon capitalists who employ them."

"In my case, I have made no secret of the fact that the Alxstein family, where I live, was a typical family of propertied people, and although my father treated those who worked for him with the warmth of the propertied people, this did not hide the fact that Lear did not hesitate to expose his own shortcomings: "The remuneration received by the Alxstein family was not proportional to his efforts. ”

"And the workers who work for my family, whether they are laborers on the assembly line or designers sitting in the office, they have no other choice but to work for my family, and in SIDE3, they don't even need the Alksteen family to do anything, they just need to be listed as not to be hired, and they don't even have the possibility of living a savage life in the mountains and forests."

"Why? Take the largest industrial center of SIDE3 'Ruhr' as an example, the Ruhr is a colonial satellite built by several families mainly in military industry and heavy industry, and 16% of the value of the satellite itself is in the hands of Alkstein, and all the enterprises of the Ruhr are related to Alkstein, and if you calculate the total value of this colonial satellite, more than 20% belongs to Alkstein. ”

"In extreme terms, if a worker in the Ruhr offends Alxstein and is fired, he will not get another job in the Ruhr, and he will not even be able to go to other colonial satellites or even SIDE to find his next job, because he is not a propertied person and he cannot afford to move long distances!"

"If you want to move to other SIDE, you need to face not only the population control of the Federation, but also the control of both the outflow and the inflow of the land, not only the need to buy real estate in other colonial satellites, but also the dilemma of not being able to find a job."

"Because of the clear division of labor in the colonies, specialized workers, while increasing productivity, were tied to the colonies where they worked, and they could not find work in other SIDEs."

"How can a worker who can only drive a machine find a job in SIDE5, where there is no heavy industry at all?"

"This is the state of the cosmic colonies, where everything around the proletarians, even the air, is the property of the capitalists."

"Even the workers themselves are nothing more than slaves in disguise to the capitalists, because their survival must depend entirely on the handouts of the capitalists, who appear to be self-reliant, but in fact have a personal dependency with the capitalists."

"Such proletarians, who make up ninety percent of the more than 10 billion people of mankind, depend on less than one in 10,000 to sustain their lives, whether they are workers, white-collar workers, sailors, or any other occupation."

"And what we want to do is to liberate these proletarians, so that all the people, whether they are the Federation or Zeon, who make up the vast majority of human society, are allies that we can unite and must unite."

Lear said with a smile: "In fact, compared with our revolutionary predecessors, our form is very good, because the simple social structure and the absolute majority of the proletarians are the fundamental guarantee of our victory." ”

"However, it must be said that this is not only seen by us, but also by the propertied class of the universe represented by Zeon."

"The reason why Zeon is actively promoting the war is because Zeon wants to divert the attention of the proletarians."

"In fact, the life of the SIDE3 proletarians is so poor, the reason why they will erupt into such dissatisfaction, it is unfair to say that it is entirely the responsibility of the Earth Federation, because since SIDE3 is self-governing, the Federation has not been able to directly rule SIDE3, in fact, the culprit of the oppression of the people of SIDE3 has become the government of the Principality of Zeon organized by the SIDE3 propertied people, and the propertied people on the side of the Earth Federation have changed their ways, and the propertied people on the side of the Earth Federation have changed their ways, and they have been with Izabi, Matsunaga, Alxstein and other SIDE3 propertied partners, and they gave up intermediate profits, but made easy upstream profits. ”

"The propertied people of Zeon are short-sighted, and in order to make enough profit from the exclusion of the propertied people of the Earth Federation, they can only resort to further exploitation, until the anger of the proletarians explodes, and they whitewash themselves as members of the proletarians, claiming that everyone's misfortune is due to the oppression of the Earth Federation."

"In the end, even they themselves became convinced, and began to resent the Federation, coveting the share of profits distributed by the federal propertied persons."

"This is a very realistic nature of war, and it has nothing to do with nation, honor, freedom and democracy."

"This war is very similar in essence to the First World War, a dirty war in which the ruling class distributes the spoils unevenly."

"So these people are the ones we want to bring down."

"This is true of both the Federation and Zeon, because the propertied people on both sides are the same thing."

"So some comrades said before that they would help one side defeat the other, and I think this is a manifestation that they have not seen the essence of the matter clearly."

"Both the Confederation and Zeon are the governments of the propertied people, and they are both objects that we must bring down, and they are all our enemies, and there is no precedence between the two objects, and there is no relationship that says that one can be united to defeat the other."

"In this way, our friends and enemies should be more clearly distinguished, and does anyone disagree with my opinion?"

As he spoke, he took a sip of water from his teacup and moistened his throat, and the others at the meeting did not immediately say 'no opinion', but thought about it seriously, compared to the kind of organization whose leaders say nothing about it, Lear felt that such an organization should be what a revolutionary should be.

In fact, not to mention that they are with each other, even if it is Lear's opinion, it is not without rejection, and what he writes is not only his own, but he grasps the general context and writes it after many verifications and discussions.

"No objections."

"I agree."

"No objections."

Lear waited patiently, and after about an hour, the congregation began to reply.

"Very well, now that our friends and foes have been identified, let's move on to the next question."

"What are we going to do?"

"How do we unite our friends?"

"What kind of foundation do we need to have to complete the revolution?"

"We oppose the existing social distribution system of the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon, so what kind of distribution system should we establish to replace them?"

Lear smiled and said: "I think for some comrades here, compared to the 'what' and 'why' we just said, this 'how' is the most concerned issue." ”

Indeed it is.
