I vaguely remember that it was May 2, 1848, and the contents of the Times were like a clarion call to rekindle the fighting spirit of us (Chartists), who had already beaten the drums out, and for a moment it seemed that the whole of London was about to repeat the "pomp" of a year ago, but regrettably, the author of all this was not a real proletarian, not even a democratic/republican, but all he did was a tool for the realization of his personal ambitions.

- "Polaris and Me" Hani

………………………………………………

In the early morning of May 2, the newspaper Polaris, which was also the stronghold of the Chartist public opinion and also an advocate of the workers' movement, was gearing up to prepare the "ammunition" for the next round of the charge, and the Chartist movement of 1847 united all the Chartists in Britain, and they formed a group to submit a letter to the government in April this year, but a month later, the coalition government still did not make any move, and the minister Palmerston, who had been elected to the House by their ballot, did not respond to them. [note 1] (Lord Palmerston does not consider that to be the work of the elect.)

The Chartists, who could no longer tolerate the government's arrogant silence as a gesture of confrontation, were ready to teach the government a "lesson" in the near future about the power of the workers.

At this time, Hani, the editor-in-chief of the "Polaris", was sitting in his office, holding a pen dipped in water, thinking about what was going to happen, and the white scratch paper pressed under his arm was densely covered with traces of alteration.

After thinking for a long time, Hani's editor-in-chief frowned, and he lowered his head to review what he had written before, only to find that most of what he had written before was already clichéd, and it was wishful thinking to expect these clichéd content to arouse the empathy of subscribers.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt, and the more he looked at the unfinished manuscript, the more unpleasant he felt, and he simply crumpled the white scratch paper pressed under his arm and threw it on the ground at will, dipped the fountain pen back into place, pressed his head tightly with both hands like holding a basketball, stared at the desk carved from rosewood with his eyes, and his mouth made a "creaking grinding sound."

The writing of the article apparently caused great annoyance to the editor-in-chief of Haney.

The frustration of not being able to write lasted for a long time, until a sharp knock on the door from outside the office pulled Editor-in-Chief Haney out of his frustration.

"Please come in!" Editor-in-Chief Hani adjusted his movements slightly, his hands removed from his head and clenched them on the desk, and his gaze changed from resentment to softness.

Don't bring your negative emotions to other members, especially subordinates, this is a "truth" that Editor-in-Chief Harney has learned after serving as Editor-in-Chief of Polaris.

The office door opened, and a reporter walked towards Hani with a newspaper in his hand, saying, "Editor-in-chief, Hani, look at this!" ”

When the reporter came to Haney, Haney found that the reporter was holding a newspaper from the "Times", and the newspaper exuded a faint scent of ink, which seemed to have just been printed.

The reporter spread the "Times" newspaper on the table, pointed to the headline on the front page of the "Times" newspaper, and said to Hani in a panting and impatient: "Editor-in-chief, look at this article!" ”

"From Bonaparte to Bonaparte ......? What a title this is! Hani, who first read the headline, read the headline word by word, with a slight doubt in his eyes, as if he was asking the reporter what he was doing.

"Editor-in-chief, read on! After reading it, you will understand everything! The reporter impatiently continued to urge Hani to continue reading.

Hani put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and read line by line.

Because of the word count and layout of the article, it took Haney less than 3 minutes to read through the entire article.

After reading the article, Hani's heart was like a turbulent wave, "equality", "freedom", "democracy", "universal suffrage", this article said everything they wanted to say.

The Chartists of the 19th century were not a revolutionary party in the final analysis, and they did not have the desire to overthrow the government and realize the democratic dictatorship with the mark of bourgeois reform from the day they were born.

Despite some of the article's comments on Louis. Napoleon's comments are somewhat anachronistic, but the so-called "Bonaparte Thought" in the article succinctly points out what Britain needs.

[Haney once had a club with Louis. Napoleon, to Louis. Napoleon still has some impressions]

"Who is the author of this article?" Hani was desperate to find out.

"I don't know!" The reporter pointed to the blank space in the signature column of the "Times" and said to Hani: "It seems that the writer does not want to reveal his name!" ”

"Will this newspaper! Cut it out and give it to Carl. Mr. Marx and Friedrich. Mr. Engels, I think you should know their addresses! Hani, who was excited, told reporters.

[As early as 1847, when the Chartist movement, the Chartists had already known Karl. Marx and Friedrich. Engels, at the height of the Chartist movement, Engels was also invited by the Polaris newspaper to act as a bourgeois radical opponent. 】

"I see!" For Carl. Marx and Friedrich. Engels's reporter, who was also full of admiration and longing, immediately agreed to Hani's order.

After Hani explained a few innocuous things to the reporter, the reporter left, and the talented Hani picked up the pen and wrote again.

This time he was going to write "On Bonaparte's Thought and the Democratization Movement in Britain"

"Yesterday, a great fighter for freedom and equality left, who brought us ...... The British government should not continue to ignore it, as Louis . What a government needs, as Napoleon said, is to establish a ...... where the people have equal rights to choose"

This time, Hani is no longer based on false freedom and equality, but instead uses Louis to take advantage of it. Napoleon's tone was a critique of Britain's existing system from the point of view of universal suffrage and responsible government.

The 3,000-word article is sprinkled with joy, but it is extremely spicy.

After writing all this, Hani reviewed the manuscript again and sealed it.

PS: 1. In the election of 1847, Mr. Haney, the editor-in-chief of the "North Star", was elected by the Tiveldo district as a candidate for the Chartist faction; The district also elected Lord Palmerston, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to Parliament. But when Lord Palmerston asked for a vote, Mr. Haney, who had won the primary by show of hands, gave up his candidacy.
