“…… A ghost, the specter of communism, hovering the central continent......"

Gastens' voice grew thicker in the thick of the night. The meeting to discuss the founding of the Communist Party was held from afternoon to evening, and there was a pause for a while because of the meeting. At the end of the council, the first eight members of the Communist Party, including Gastens, Daisy Richardson, Ivan Warren, Sink Warren, Bimbo Bobrub, Thomas Gurakos, Eddie Warren and Charlie Harry Warren, gathered again in Room 2 to discuss the Communist Manifesto drafted by Gastens, to decide on the party's program, and to draw up a work plan for the present stage.

“…… It has been 217 years since Master Huni Havari wrote "On Capital", and communism has gone from an idea and a perception to a force that is prevalent in the entire central continent as the working class grows. Whether the people in power like it or not, whether the capitalists, landlords and aristocrats, who represent the old relations of production and exploitation, whether they want it or not, communism and the communists have become a force to be reckoned with in this world......"

Since deciding to establish a communist party in the brief period of peace in the Elena base area, Gastens has drafted this communist manifesto of his own world, referring to the "Communist Manifesto" in his memory. Because of the great differences in the history and power systems of the two worlds, communism and communism had become dangerous ideas for the entire European working class by the time the Communist Manifesto was published on Earth. In the Central Continent, because of the unrivaled power of the Grand Magister, the communist ideology only gave rise to a few moderate communists who wanted to change the treatment of workers through the formation of parties and parliaments. This form does not fundamentally understand the historical law of the transformation of social relations of production and the inevitable replacement of the old relations of production by the new relations of production, but attempts to find a balance between the two by kneading itself into the old relations of production. The history of the Earth has proven that this approach will not succeed. And the history of this world is proving the same fact. Therefore, in his world version of the Communist Manifesto, Gastens revised some of the expressions about the social background and the main contradictions, and formed a document that was closer to the actual situation.

As Thomas Gurakos listened, he mentally compared the difference between his Negru Workers' Party and the Communist Party that Gastens was founding. If the Workers' Party is the leader of the flock, taking the initiative to lead the working class to improve its own situation with the permission of ranchers like capitalists, then the Communist Party that Gastens wants to establish is the magic that can turn the flock into a flock of lions. He will thoroughly arm the working class and the serf class ideologically, and hand over the most important and strongest weapons to these people who have been oppressed and exploited for hundreds of years, so that they can break out into the most direct conflict and the most fierce confrontation with the existing authorities and rulers. This conflict and confrontation will continue until the communists, who represent the advanced relations of production, become the new leaders of this world.

Gurakos' body trembled slightly, though he could realize that the document that Gastens was reading, and what he was doing, was about to cause a storm in the world that no one could have predicted. The storm was a magnificent scenery and a deadly danger, and anyone who threw himself into it should be prepared to die generously. Gourakos prefers the growing party to the fact that the Workers' Party delegates make generous statements in parliament and form cliques at drinking parties in the hope of fighting for the meager benefits of the working class, but never radically change the oppressed fate of the working class. Now that the Grand Magus has lost its magic, communism and communists, communists and communists, are bound to become a force in this world that no one dares to ignore. And he will have the privilege of witnessing the birth of this doomed great political party.

“…… The proletariat will use its political domination to seize step by step all the capital of the bourgeoisie, concentrate all the means of production in the hands of the state, the proletariat, which is organized as the ruling class, and increase the total amount of productive forces as quickly as possible......"

Gastens' reading continued, and the night outside the window was dark. If it were normal times, it was already time to go to bed, but none of the seven comrades present would want to leave this simple, small conference room. They listened to Gastens's "Communist Manifesto" together, and felt as if they saw a path in the fog pointed out by "On Capital", which was gradually becoming clear.

Charlie Harry Warren listened intently to Gastens. Of the eight people present, he had the least seniority and the least understanding of Gastens and Communism. But even so, he could vaguely feel from Gastens's reading that what a fierce and terrifying beast was hidden in that not heavy document. This giant beast will destroy all the old institutions, destroy the exploiters and classes in this world, and let the serfs, who now work all day but are not even "people", have the same right as those workers to get paid for their labor, have the same power as those nobles to enjoy a good life, and have the same power to control the means of production as those who are high and powerful.

Although the document has not yet been read, although it is clear that the current Elena Plains, in front of the six great powers of the world, is just a small insect that will crumble in a hand, but Charlie Harry Warren has already made up his mind. In this world, the only person who can and is willing to save the serfs and treat the serfs as an equal "person" is the young man named Gastens in front of him. So, he was ready to give the only thing he had for the cause of this young man, for this cause called communism.

own life.

Gastens's reading continued, and the Communist Manifesto was nearing its end, and the seven people present stood up and applauded when Gastens finished reading. They breathed deeply, their eyes lit up with ideals and beliefs, and they had already decided to start fighting for this party, for this idea, and for the happiness of those who suffered as much as themselves.

"Ahem, alright", Gastens noticed that the atmosphere was a little solemn, he chuckled, and poured tea for everyone with Daisy before moving on to the document he had just read.

"This is the "Communist Manifesto" that I have drafted in the past few days, and on the basis of Master Huni Havare, it clearly expounds the definition of communism, the definition of communists and our Communist Party, and puts forward the goals and directions of the Communist Party. If you don't understand something, or if there is something you don't think is appropriate, you can bring it up now. ”

There was silence for a while, and when Sink Warren raised his hand hesitantly, Gastens gave him an encouraging look, waiting for him to speak.

"Head, I think this Communist Manifesto is very good and inspiring, and it also allows me to see clearly what communism is going to do and how to go in the future. But are we a little far from that goal now, should we write in the manifesto what we can do now, or in our current state? ”

"Good!" Gastens clapped his hands, "This Communist Manifesto is a general outline, and it sets out the ultimate goal. The Communist Party, which we are now founding, must also draw up a party program and draft a "Main Tasks for the Present Period" to make arrangements for the recent work. Let's first finalize the documents of the manifesto, and then discuss the party program and the main tasks. ”

There was no opinion on Gastens' proposal. Several comrades attending the meeting, led by Zinke, raised their own questions. Most of their questions were questions about ignorance of certain elements of the manifesto, and Gastens answered them one by one, and for the first time clearly and systematically expounded his ideas on the long-term revolutionary work and the ultimate goal in front of his inner circle. He was relieved that everyone was very supportive of his ideas, and no one flinched or hesitated.

The discussion and study of the manifesto lasted almost two hours, and when the wall clock on the wall rang the bell for the early hours of the morning, Gastens finally pushed the task to the second step. He put forward the "Program of the Communist Party", which simplified the descriptive content of the manifesto on the relationship between communists and capitalists, and between communists and the Communist Party, and focused on clarifying the party's work objectives, main programs, and organizational forms. According to the party platform, the Communist Party will set up a council, which will be composed of the current eight core members. After the inspection, the core members can jointly promote the new party members to join the party, and if the new party members get five or more votes in the council voting, they can become members of the Communist Party. In this part, Gastens draws on the experience of underground work in the early days of the founding of the Party in the earth world, and gradually expands the manpower on the premise of controlling quantity and ensuring quality. The party members attending the meeting did not disagree on this, so after more than an hour of discussion, the party program was finally decided.

"Hah-"

Daisy yawned heavily and put away the papers scattered on her desk. She looked around and saw that everyone was a little sleepy while they were excited, and proposed to adjourn the meeting for the time being, and wait until dawn to continue. However, everyone did not agree, and everyone unanimously expressed their position to continue discussing the next document, determine the main content of the party's current work, and then rest. In Gulasco's words, "If this thing can't be settled, how can you sleep!" ”

"Yes, this document can tell us what to do now, we have been waiting hard!"

Ivan also smiled and interrupted, and Gastens saw that everyone's mood was okay, so he took out the dry bread that had been prepared a long time ago, soaked it in hot water, and distributed it to everyone, and began to talk about his thoughts while eating.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation in Ankenriin is not optimistic, and we have offended them badly by attacking the Negru Republic last year. Even if the Emperor made the matter of the Great Demon Tide public, once the Negro Republic stabilized, they would definitely continue to attack us, and because without the suppression of the Great Demon Master, this attack would definitely be very fierce. Elena's current position, although not particularly close to the front line, is the first threat we face once the defense line of Tulucas collapses, and we will most likely have to face the onslaught of the Negru Republic army. ”

The comrades who were eating stopped one after another, and the topic opened by Gastens was so heavy that they did not have the heart to eat at all.

"The second threat is civil war. Although the matter of the Ronninger rebellion has not been announced, as long as the peace talks with Negru are confirmed, the troops of the Western Theater will definitely go to the east to fight Ronninger's army. As a unit of the Western Military District, how we can avoid going out with the army and continue to develop the Elena Plain will depend on whether we can establish our superior position in the supply of arms. Once we confirm that we can provide weapons that are better than all other factories, then His Royal Highness should allow us to continue production. This step will be done together in consultation with Gurakos. ”

"Don't worry, head!"

Gurakos stood up with a serious expression. Gastens nodded at him and continued.

"The third threat is the threat of food. Last year, because the grain crisis did not end, the granaries in various places were very empty, and this war almost exhausted the family's funds. After the beginning of spring this year, a large number of serfs were arrested and sent to join the army, and there was a shortage of labor in various places, and the output of grain was sure to decline. By the end of the summer, when the first wheat is ripe, everyone will soon realize this problem, and at that time, how to ensure the food supply of the Elena Plains, and if we have the spare capacity, to attract more comrades through food, it is also a task that needs to be focused on. I'll talk to Charlie Harry about that. ”

"Definitely complete the mission, head!" Charlie Harry stood up and saluted excitedly. Gastens gave him an affirmative look and continued.

"Solve these three threats, and we will have to survive the Plains of Elena. Only by surviving can we be qualified to promote the revolution. In recent years, the Communist Party has mainly taken underground channels in promoting the revolution, and we will also use the tiger skin of Prince Eliot to strive for peaceful development for a period of time, attract more serfs, control more land, and have a population base and army sufficient for self-preservation and self-sufficiency, and then, when the time is right, we will officially make our voice heard to the world! ”

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Almost at the same time, everyone began to applaud, loud and huge, and everyone looked at Gastens with trust and support in their eyes. After a while, Gastens waited for everyone to be quiet before moving on to the next step and making a clear division of labor for everyone present. From tomorrow onwards, they will have their own organization, they will have their own goals and directions, everyone will have a task to complete, and everyone will work hard and fight for it.

On this cold winter night, in a small river bend plain in the province of Enspan, the Communist Party, determined to overthrow the old society and build a new one, was formally established with the efforts of eight comrades.

On that day, the year 848, the first month, the twenty-second day.
