The Fifth Plenary Congress of the Communist International was held in Suyan's capital.

On the podium in the center of the hall, a huge red flag fluttered in the wind, and the golden sickle and hammer on the flag shone under the lights, as if heralding that the working class was about to usher in a new era.

The delegates came from all over the world and they wore revolutionary uniforms that had their own national characteristics but were unified in color.

Among them were soldiers who survived the World War. After the war, they questioned the war and reflected on the dark state of the country and society. They joined the Bolsheviks and went from being soldiers of the bourgeoisie to pioneers of the proletariat!

There are revolutionaries who have been struggling to survive in underground work for a long time. The militarist countries have persecuted revolutionaries most cruelly, and their will has become more and more tenacious.

There were also leaders from the emerging Soviet regimes who came to the conference with domestic issues in the hope that the Communist International could provide guidance and help.

The conference officially began, and Mu Yuan first summarized the war that had just ended.

“After the World War, two socialist countries, the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union, were established one after another. From then on, the era of the capitalist world economic system covering the entire world came to an end.

On one quarter of the world's land and one third of the world's population, a new socialist world was established.

The imperialists were panicking about this. They saw that their doom was approaching, so they launched a sudden war against Su Yan, desperately, like vampires standing on the execution platform about to be hanged. "

He explained the fundamental nature of this war, which cannot be simply regarded as a conspiracy planned by politicians in the capitalist world, nor can it be understood as a military invasion for the sake of territory, population, hegemony, etc. like the ancient dynastic wars. It cannot be understood from any moral reasons, nor is it due to the stupidity of politicians in capitalist countries.

In fact, the strategic timing chosen by the imperialist countries is very appropriate. Whether it is dealing with the former Soviet Union or the current Soviet Union, they launch attacks when the Soviet Union is at its weakest.

However, whether in Soviet Russia or Soviet Russia, the heroic people defended their countries and made the imperialist aggression fail once again.

Mu Yuan pointed out that the nature of this war is a counter-revolutionary war and a manifestation of the most intense struggle between the two classes of the world's proletariat and the bourgeoisie.

"We have won a great victory in the war against imperialism. Imperialism was forced to cease fire and give up its claims. North Korea has been liberated and the strength of socialism has been greatly enhanced.

The next ten years will be a decade of continued decline of capitalism, and also a decade in which the world proletarian revolution will enter a new stage! "

Mu Yuan emphasized that the post-war international world is on the brink of drastic changes, the old capitalist order is collapsing, the biggest economic crisis in the history of the capitalist world will break out, the climax of the revolution is about to come, and new socialist countries will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

He pointed out that the Communist International must formulate a new strategy in this new revolutionary high tide and provide more determined support for the revolutionary movement throughout the world.

Then, Mu Yuan announced that the conference had entered the next stage. The Bolshevik Parties of various countries spoke in turn on the question of how to carry out revolutionary work under the new situation of the world revolution, and at the same time reported on the revolutionary situation and progress in their own countries.

Finally, Zinoviev, the First Secretary of the Communist International, stood up, his face serious and firm, as if he was carrying the expectations of countless people. He said in a powerful voice: "Comrades, we must strengthen the ties between the revolutionary forces of various countries and ensure that they can provide assistance to each other at critical moments.

As the Soviet Union and the Soviet Socialist Union of Russia have proven, unity is strength! Only through close collaboration, through greater unity, can we achieve greater victories in the future struggles. "

Su Yan's representative Li Runshi then expressed strong agreement. He stated on behalf of Su Yan: "Where is the Communist Party that does not support the Communist Party? Our Communist Party is not only the party of the Su Yan people, but also the party of the proletarian people all over the world! Su Yan will always actively support the proletarian revolutionary movement all over the world!"

There was warm applause in the conference hall, and representatives from many countries applauded the two countries for their firm stance on internationalism and the path of communism.

In this warm atmosphere, the conference came to an end. After intense and fruitful discussions among representatives of various countries, the Communist International finally formulated new tasks and strategies to deal with the future international situation.

As the conference came to an end, the delegates left the venue with a burning revolutionary flame in their hearts and embarked on the journey back to their own countries.

No matter how difficult and complicated the road ahead is, they will never waver!

Because they know that in the years to come, the banner of proletarian revolution will continue to fly high all over the world, and the glory of socialism will shine in every corner of the world!

Because they know that they are never alone on the road of revolution. At the end of this road, they will meet countless comrades and welcome a brand new and bright socialist world together!

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Body: Chapter 202: From the experience of a worker, we can see the changes of Su Yan

Three years later, Edgar came to Su Yan again.

This year, Su Yan announced the completion of the "three major reforms" - the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce. This marked the elimination of private ownership of the means of production in this country and the complete end of the system of exploitation and oppression of man by man!

For any socialist country, this achievement is no less significant than the victory of a revolutionary war.

And to revolutionaries around the world, Su Yan’s achievements are equally incredible.

Unlike the Soviet Union, which was an industrial country before the revolution, although this industrial country was very backward and was the weakest link in the imperialist world, it was able to build cannons, warships and had its own heavy industry.

However, before the revolution, Suyan was just a backward agricultural country, a backward semi-colonial and semi-feudal country with only a small amount of light industry and almost no heavy industry!

However, this originally backward country, after the establishment of the Soviet regime, completed such a large-scale social transformation in just three years and achieved the elimination of private ownership of the means of production!

For those revolutionaries struggling in the colonial and semi-colonial countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, Su Yan's success was of epoch-making significance.

Taking a deep breath, Edgar seemed to be able to feel the unique scent in the air - that was the scent of a new era. In this era that belongs to all workers, every breath of air on this land seems to be sweet.

With this feeling of being moved and admiring, he came to this country again. He wanted to explore and record the real changes that have happened and are happening in this country, and bring Su Yan's story to the world!

His first stop was the Magic City.

In Shanghai, one of the people Edgar interviewed was Zhang Kongshan, a worker at a state-owned cotton textile factory.

Zhang Kongshan was born in a family of small employees in Shanghai. His father worked as an accountant in a grain store and had a good income. He could have had a relatively stable life. However, his father got addicted to opium in the old society and quickly exhausted the family's only savings. His mother died of puerperal fever one month after he was born, leaving Kongshan, who was still in his infancy, alone and helpless.

The young Kongshan was sent to Zhenjiang to be raised by relatives.

When he was 13 years old, the warlord government's war actions caused prices to soar, and his adoptive parents were unable to bear the burden of life. So his adoptive mother brought Kongshan to the Magic City, hoping to borrow some money from his biological father to support the family.

But Zhang's father was a man who would not do anything without profit. Seeing that Kongshan was already thirteen years old and could be considered a laborer and no longer needed to be taken care of, he sent his adoptive mother back. From then on, Zhang Kongshan lived with his biological father, whom he had never known before.

Two years later, the Soviet regime liberated Shanghai, the owner of the grain store ran away, and Zhang's father lost his job.

Kongshan has an older sister, so Zhang's father took him to live with Kongshan's sister. Not long after, Zhang's father had a big quarrel with Kongshan's brother-in-law and left without a trace. Kongshan's sister took him in.

The year came to 1921, and Kongshan became an apprentice in a clothing store under the introduction of his neighbor.

Zhang Kongshan said: "They are called apprentices, but in fact they are [child slaves]. On the first day of entering the shop, they have to kowtow, burn incense, and sign a contract. The essence of this so-called contract is the contract of selling oneself in the handicraft industry."

There were landlords and serfs in agriculture, and bosses and child slaves in handicrafts. This was a production relationship in the old society.

"The contract stipulates that I must be an apprentice for three years, and my boss has nothing to do with my illness or life or death during this period. If I leave within three years, I must pay for my meals and other losses. And the monthly salary for an apprentice can only buy a bar of soap!"

Edgar quickly wrote down Zhang Kongshan's words in his notebook, frowned and asked, "Hasn't the demon city been liberated by then?"

Zhang Kongshan replied: "The Demon City has been liberated, but this liberation was only in name at first, just like a new county magistrate on the peasants' heads. The peasants could not feel any difference, and nothing below had changed."

His understanding is very insightful.

"The development of things cannot be achieved overnight. It is not realistic for everything to change all at once. In the early days of liberation, everything in the old society had not changed in time, and it was impossible for them to change on their own initiative.

The task of our country is to gradually eliminate the backward production relations in the three major areas of agriculture, handicrafts, and capitalist industry and commerce, so that what happened to me will not happen again. "

As he spoke, Zhang Kongshan recalled the past years, and his voice became heavy.

"I still remember the first day I arrived at the clothing store, when I was sweeping the floor in the morning, the boss slapped me in the face without any reason, and I saw stars.

He said that I should not sweep from inside to outside, otherwise I would sweep away the "wealth" of his house, but should sweep from outside to inside to sweep the "wealth" in.

It's really weird. The garbage has to be dumped outside. Isn't that throwing away the "wealth"?

But in those days, I had no right to reason and could only swallow my tears."

Zhang Kongshan continued to describe his difficult life: "In addition to the work in the store, I also had to sweep the floor, wash rice, wash vegetables, and take care of the children. When winter came, my hands were all cracked and bleeding. The amount of rice used for cooking was determined by the boss's wife, and it was only enough for the family and the master. I could only stand and add rice for them. When it was my turn to eat, there was only a little rice crust and vegetable scraps left.

There was no place to sleep, so in hot weather I slept on the chopping board, and in cold weather I huddled in the cabinet under the counter."

At this point, Kong Shan paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then he continued, "At that time, although the Magic City had been liberated, the country had used most of its resources and strength to deal with the upcoming Patriotic War. The capitalists had not been reformed, and the store was still the same as before liberation.

However, the atmosphere in the factory suddenly changed. Su Yan was the regime of the working class. The workers had turned over a new leaf and were very motivated.

At that time, on International Labor Day and Party Founding Day, workers had big parades, and there were a lot of people who came to order work clothes. The store was very busy, and we often had to work overtime until one or two o'clock in the morning. "

Kong Shan said coldly: "I still remember that at about 11 o'clock in the evening, the boss and the master went to the restaurant opposite to eat snacks. They stipulated that I had to lock the holes of three sets of work clothes and sew the buttons before I could eat a bowl of small wontons, but I have never eaten this kind of hollow wontons!

On the one hand, there was too much work. A set of Mao suits had nine holes and the pants had five holes. On the other hand, you were asked to do something here and there, which made it impossible for you to work peacefully. As a result, I could only work the night shift on an empty stomach every day.

Due to severe lack of sleep, I often pricked my fingers with needles. It hurt so much. Once, I dozed off while ironing clothes. When my boss saw me, he smashed a bowl of paste on my head. The pieces of the bowl were embedded in my scalp, and my face was covered in blood. I still have the scar from that incident.

Beating with a bamboo ruler and slapping in the face were commonplace. I remember one time, my boss's son went to school and I carried him on my back. The road was flooded after the rain, but he kept hitting my head on my back. I was so angry that I threw him into the water, and of course I was beaten up as well.

I endured this inhuman life without dignity for two years, and never cried once in front of my boss! "

At this point, Zhang Kongshan's voice became excited, revealing a deep tenacity and stubbornness.

Edgar listened quietly, and the handwriting in his notebook became denser and denser.

He asked sympathetically: "What happened after that? When did this kind of life change?"

Zhang Kongshan immediately replied: "I remember it very clearly. In 1923, after the victory of the war, the country started the Three Antis and Five Antis Movements!"

Edgar nodded slightly; he certainly understood the sport.

In 1923, Su Yan won the victory in the anti-imperialist war and officially launched the campaigns against corruption, waste and bureaucracy and against bribery, tax evasion, theft of state property, shoddy work and theft of state economic intelligence.

However, he originally thought that this movement was just a political anti-corruption campaign, but he did not expect that it was closely related to the lives of Zhang Kongshan and thousands of proletarians who had the same experience as him.

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 203 The proletariat has risen up and become the masters!

"At that time, I was still an apprentice in that clothing store, and the boss was still the same, squeezing me so hard that I had no chance to breathe.

But at this time, the city sent a "Five Antis" work team to our Yangpu District's industrial system to mobilize the masses. "

Zhang Kongshan's tone revealed an excitement that was difficult to conceal: "As soon as the work team arrived, they immediately organized meetings for us, took us to the streets to paint large slogans, and explained to us in detail the significance of the 'Five Antis' campaign to enlighten our consciousness.

At that time, my boss used the excuse that the store was busy and did not allow me to participate in these activities, but somehow, I suddenly had a surge of energy and courage in my heart. I was not afraid of anything and went out to paint slogans anyway. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Kongshan's voice was filled with a hint of pride.

"Later, the work team issued a notice saying that during the campaign, wages could not be withheld, workers could not be fired, and people could not be beaten. Seeing this, I became even bolder and was no longer afraid of the boss."

Edgar recorded every word of Zhang Kongshan attentively and was touched.

In countries like Amai, it is the bourgeois dictatorship. Whether it is the judicial, legislative, or executive organs, they often lean towards the bourgeoisie in all aspects to protect the interests of these "bosses" from being harmed.

Although labor laws exist, once capitalists violate them, the price they pay is often insignificant. They can even use various means such as delays and perfunctory procedures to force the proletariat to give up litigation. The so-called "legal" rights of the working class often become empty talk on paper. If workers use legal provisions to argue their case, not only will the capitalists laugh, but even the judges will laugh.

But in proletarian dictatorship countries such as the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union, the situation is completely different. The law here clearly stands on the side of the proletariat, and the operation of the state apparatus is also aimed at protecting and improving the economic and political status of the proletariat.

Most party members and cadres also have completely different attitudes towards these "bosses" and the proletariat: they are hostile to the former and friendly to the latter.

The "Five Antis" movement reflected this point. At that time, all industries in Su Yan's country had varying degrees of private ownership of the means of production, and there were bosses and capitalists.

The "Five Antis" campaign demonstrated the will of the state under the dictatorship of the proletariat, which was to suppress private capital, suppress and gradually eliminate the power of the bourgeoisie, and allow the proletariat in every place to wipe out the previous oppression.

In the old society, insignificant apprentices like Zhang Kongshan never dared to imagine that they could resist the authority of their boss, and the system of the old society would only suppress their resistance. But under the system of proletarian dictatorship, the state told them that the state would back them up, and if the boss dared to go against them, they would punish the boss!

This allowed countless proletarians like Zhang Kongshan to feel for the first time their own value and power as proletarians. Gradually, they gained confidence and the courage to fight and strive for their own rights.

Edgar realized that this change in mentality and behavior not only represented material liberation, but also spiritual liberation.

Here, the word "liberation" becomes alive, full of vivid reality, giving him and thousands of people like him hope and strength.

Zhang Kongshan's story continues.

"Inspired by the work team, I heard truths that I had never heard before, and understood that only the Communist Party and Secretary Mu are the great saviors of us poor people who are looked down upon and bullied! Only today can we, the poor masses, hold our heads high like this!

In the past, I never dared to speak, but now, as if I had become a different person, I even dared to join the work team in promoting the great principles of "overthrowing the rampant attack of the bourgeoisie" and "strength comes from unity."

As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on Zhang Kongshan's face: "I even exposed the boss's crimes of tax evasion. At that time, the boss took me to the factory to measure the size and take business for a lot of custom-made tasks. He asked me to record them in the exercise book and never put them in the account. When the movement was carried out in depth, the boss tried to fish in troubled waters and burned all the account books and invoices, but falsely accused me of burning them. This clumsy method was exposed by the work team.

In the later period of the movement, the "Five Antis" work team also recruited me to work with them. The policy at that time was to classify the cases revealed in the movement into four categories: "law-abiding households", "half-law-abiding and half-law-breaking households", "law-breaking households", and "severe law-breaking households". In the end, our boss was classified as a "half-law-abiding and half-law-breaking household".

At the conference where the decision was issued, the venue was filled with more than a thousand people, and I, who was only 17 years old at the time, sat on the podium.

On weekdays, those bosses who were usually fierce and evil, all lowered their heads and sat in the audience waiting for the verdict. At that time, my heart was surging, it was like a dream. Just imagine, a poor child who was beaten and scolded by everyone in the past, and no one looked down on him, could actually sit on such a solemn hosting platform! At that moment, I couldn't stop crying, this was really a world-shaking event!

When the bosses came up to the stage to receive the final decision, they were not arrogant at all, but respectful, bowing first and then stretching out their hands. At that moment, I finally understood what it meant to "greatly enhance the aspirations of the proletariat and greatly destroy the prestige of the bourgeoisie"!

Zhang Kongshan recalled that moment, as if he had returned to the scene at that time, with tears flashing in his eyes. He continued, "My boss beat me and scolded me, but I never cried before. But that day, I really cried. It was tears of excitement from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget that moment. From then on, I made up my mind that I must listen to Secretary Mu's words in this life, follow the Communist Party, and never look back!"

...

Edgar stopped writing and looked down at the notebook in his hand, which was filled with Zhang Kongshan's words.

He was deeply touched by Zhang Kongshan's story.

"It takes a process for the proletariat to go from being oppressed to awakening. What is this process like, and what promotes such a process? I think I have found the answer.

I am not only recording this process, the epitome of this era, but also a very valuable historical document on the process of the proletarian revolution.”

He closed his notebook, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly to himself.

"I can't stop, I have to keep going!

I want to learn more about the stories of the proletariat, and I want people all over the world to know that in such a country, the proletariat has stood up and become the master! "

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Body: Chapter 204: Is Su Yan going for contracting or collectivization?

The revolution in Yan State was divided into two steps: the new democratic revolution and the socialist revolution.

After the establishment of Su Yan, imperialism and feudalism were overthrown, the new democratic revolution in Yan country was victorious, and the next step was to launch a socialist revolution.

The socialist revolution also consists of two steps: one is the economic revolution, which is mainly a revolution in the ownership of the means of production; the other is the political and ideological socialist revolution.
