The crazy guy from Hakoden, defeated the millions of gods!

He opened the drawer and took out a piece of letter, the words flowing naturally with his emotions.

"Brother Mu Yuan, I am writing to you—"

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 232 They are creating the path from socialism to communism

The sunlight shines through the gap in the study's curtains and shines obliquely into a corner of the study.

Bookshelves are lined up along the wall, with rows of heavy books standing quietly, from the "Manifesto" to the "Selected Works of Lenin", to the theoretical research works on socialist revolution and construction in various countries translated in recent years. The blurred or clear handwriting on the spines of the books are like the marks of time, and the worn covers and yellowed pages tell of the history of being frequently read.

On the desk next to him, there were several pages of unfinished manuscripts scattered around, with revision handwriting all over the lines. In some places, big question marks were circled, and next to the question marks were densely packed fragments of thoughts.

Li Runshi sat at the desk, his hands slightly folded, his eyes fixed on the manuscript, but his mind seemed to have spanned two hundred years, and he had a conversation with his two mentors. They talked about the future of mankind, the inevitable demise of capitalism and the inevitable advent of socialism, and imagined the great ideal of communism.

In Marx and Engels's discussion, communism has two stages: the lower stage is socialism, and the higher stage is complete and developed communism.

However, since there was no socialist country in Marx and Engels' time, their thinking about the communist country was only a theoretical blueprint, remaining at the level of envisioning the future society.

But it's different now.

Socialist countries have been established all over the world, and the theory of socialist revolution and construction can be considered quite complete.

In Li Runshi's mind, the picture of communism has been gradually moving from vague to clear.

The achievements of socialism are undoubtedly great, but it is only the lower stage of communism. Distribution according to need has not yet been achieved, classes have not yet been completely eliminated, and bourgeois legal rights still remain in this society.

In Li Runshi's view, the socialist system and ideas still need several revolutionary leaps before they can reach the communism described by Marx and Engels.

What he wants to do and is doing is to create a revolutionary theory from socialism to communism and from the lower stage of communism to the higher stage.

This path already has some theoretical basis, which is the information provided to him by Mu Yuan, the valuable historical records of the Second Revolution from a parallel similar world.

...

In Su Yan, only Li Runshi knew that the man who created miracles and changed a nation, a country, and a world actually came from another world.

That world also has the Earth, humans, and classes. From the origin of human civilization to the Industrial Revolution, from the colonial wars of capitalist global expansion to the World Wars, human history with written records spans 8,000 years, and for the two worlds, the history of the past 8,000 years is not much different.

It was not until about forty years ago that the two worlds began to take different paths, without an almost completely similar human history.

Li Runshi has read through the historical records about that world after that time point countless times.

In that world, first of all, the proletarian revolution was advancing by leaps and bounds, the banner of socialism was flying high, and several powerful socialist countries were established.

But just when people thought that human civilization was about to usher in a new and bright era, the few remaining socialist countries were successively usurped by the capitalist-roaders in power, and they existed in name only. The proletariat ushered in the darkest era.

Of course, what makes Li Runshi feel gratified is that these failures did not end everything. There are always revolutionaries who dare to be the first to stand up again and try to rekindle the flame of revolution.

Many years later, the storm has risen again, the working class has reorganized, the clarion call of communism has sounded again, and the pioneers of the revolution have set off another wave of world revolution...

"What happened after that? In that world, did the proletariat win? Did the revolution finally succeed?"

Just as Li Runshi was excited and cheering for the revolutionaries in another world, he discovered that the historical records had come to an abrupt end.

This feeling is like when reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms and ending at the moment when Zhuge Liang came out of the mountains, or when reading Journey to the West and just seeing Sun Wukong attacking the Palace of Supreme Being.

What's behind? Why is there nothing behind?

Of course Li Runshi couldn't help but ask Mu Yuan why he didn't write the rest of the history.

"Because I'm dead, I don't know where the future of the proletariat will go in that world." Mu Yuan was silent for a moment before answering softly.

This answer left Li Runshi speechless for a long time.

This man who created countless miracles and seemed to be omnipotent ended up like this in that world...

...The memories end.

Li Runshi let out a long sigh and looked back at the historical materials in front of him.

The experience of the proletarian revolution's failure and resurgence was a very valuable theory for him.

However, this alone is not enough to build a path to communism.

“To create a revolutionary theory leading to the transition from socialism to communism, we need not only to learn from the experience of failure, but also to sum up experience from real practice. We can find the answer from the proletarian struggles of this world, from Su Yan’s practice, and from the struggles of every revolutionary.”

And in this era, the answer is the great ideological revolution that is taking place.

As the previous secretary Su Yan, Li Runshi has retired in name, but his influence has not diminished much. However, he never steps in to make decisions for Wang Chunjiang.

Wang Chunjiang knew that he lacked experience, so he attached great importance to his opinions and often sent him important documents for advice. For example, the Outline of the Great Revolution, which concerned the fate of the country, was reviewed and revised by him personally.

"The Great Revolution..."

Li Runshi seemed to have thought of something, took a deep breath, and his eyes darkened.

In that world, there was also a similar revolution, but it failed and was even stigmatized as a "brutal turmoil." In the tampered history books, the participants of the Great Revolution became saboteurs, the awakening of workers and peasants was portrayed as a "foolish fanaticism," and the bureaucratic bourgeoisie was transformed into a "victim" and "defender of order."

However, the so-called "order" is nothing more than the oppression and exploitation of the working class and the peasantry, and the maintenance of privileges for a minority of people.

From a class perspective, the truth is crystal clear.

Which class benefits from the revolution? Naturally, the proletariat.

Which class is struck down in the revolution? Undoubtedly, the bourgeoisie and its agents.

During that revolution, the power of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and the authority it had gained through the state machinery were greatly weakened. Those once arrogant bureaucrats no longer dared to exploit and oppress workers and peasants at will. They were afraid of being publicly criticized, afraid of losing power, and even more afraid of being exposed under the scrutiny of the working class.

There are many such examples. For example, a corrupt county magistrate secretly kept several concubines before the Revolution and destroyed the families of those who disobeyed him. During the Revolution, his misdeeds could no longer be protected by his superiors, and he was directly dragged out of his home by the victimized workers and peasants, and was directly criticized and beaten to death.

There was also an officer in the army who raped a young female nurse. Because of his outstanding abilities, he was protected by his superiors from punishment. In the wave of revolution, he hid in the army and did not dare to go out. In the end, he was dragged out and tried by the masses.

There was also a provincial governor who caused a large-scale famine and millions of people starved to death for the sake of political achievements. In the eyes of some people, this was an official with outstanding political achievements, and his merits outweighed his flaws. He was forced to cause bad consequences for the sake of the country's greater interests. But again, this person was caught and shot by the peasants who they said sacrificed for the greater good during the Great Revolution.

After these examples, these bureaucrats no longer dared to act arrogantly. Even if an ordinary old farmer came to do business, they dared not neglect him. They even tried to show goodwill to these workers and farmers whom they once regarded as "inferior people".

The status of the working class and the peasant class has been greatly improved. They stand on an equal footing in front of the bureaucrats who once cloaked themselves in the cloak of sacred authority, feeling proud and realizing that the so-called "workers and peasants are the masters of the country" is finally no longer an empty talk.

At the same time, with the liberation of thought, the wisdom of workers and farmers was fully utilized in production practice, new technologies continued to emerge, and achievements in various fields began to spring up like mushrooms after rain.

In Li Runshi's view, the significance of that great revolution was even equivalent to the violent revolution that overthrew the old system and established Su Yan.

If violent revolution is the only way to destroy the old exploiting class and establish the proletarian regime, then the great ideological revolution is a key step to completely eradicate the bourgeoisie and its agents, eliminate bourgeois legal rights, and promote the development of socialism to a higher stage.

Such a conclusion not only comes from history, but also from the practical experience summarized by Li Runshi over the years.

When he was in power, he discovered that all the top-down political movements he promoted were unable to eliminate those in power who were taking the bourgeois road, because many of them were already in high positions in the state apparatus. They were the decision makers and controllers of power, and with officials protecting each other, it was impossible for them to eliminate themselves.

Moreover, most of the capitalist-roaders in power are not stupid enough to openly declare themselves to be reactionaries. On the contrary, what they say sounds better than anything else, always talking about the benefits of socialism, shouting "Long live socialism" and "The interests of workers and peasants are paramount!", and swearing allegiance in public, they look more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, with loyalty in their eyes.

However, everything they did was capitalist. They were greedy for power and capital, turning national resources into tools for private interests, exploiting workers and peasants in the name of reform, and squeezing them dry.

Only the broadest masses of workers and peasants can expose their true colors.

Only by launching a great ideological revolution from the bottom up, mobilizing the vast majority of the working class and peasants, and by using criticism and struggle, can we gradually awaken the tens of millions of workers and peasants in the class struggle and realize their status as masters. In this way, we can completely eliminate the remnants of bourgeois legal rights and pull out and eliminate those hidden capitalist-roaders in power and the army.

"The great revolution in that world failed, but in this world, we will definitely win."

...

...

"Secretary Li, this is the relevant information about the Great Revolution." The secretary gently pushed open the door of the study and handed over a printed report.

At Li Runshi's request, the secretary summarized the progress of the Great Revolution and many important events and sent them over.

Li Runshi took off his glasses and wiped them, then took the document, slowly unfolded the paper, and began to read it carefully.

At first, his expression was very calm, but as each line of text progressed, his brows gradually relaxed and a fiery light appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, Huang Ziyuan did a great job!"

Li Runshi slammed the table and stood up, his voice full of joy and excitement.

He stood up happily, paced to a corner of the study, and looked towards the direction of Yenching University.

"This is the first Marxist-Leninist big-character poster in the country! It ignited not only the ideological flame of Yanda, but also the revolutionary spirit of the entire Suyan!"

As he said this, he turned around and said to his secretary with a piercing look in his eyes: "Convey my opinion to Secretary Xiang Chunjiang. Huang Ziyuan's big-character poster is a manifesto of the Su Yan-style Paris Commune in the 20s. Its significance even exceeds that of the Paris Commune!"

That night, Suyan People’s Radio Station broadcast the full text of Huang Ziyuan’s big-character poster.

"Good evening, comrades."

The announcer on duty sat solemnly in front of the microphone, and his voice was transmitted to thousands of households through radio waves.

"Today, we will broadcast a big-character poster from a student of Yenching University, Comrade Huang Ziyuan. Secretary Wang Chunjiang and Comrade Li Runshi highly praised this big-character poster...

Next, please listen to this important revolutionary document. "

That night, countless people sat around the radio, listening with bated breath.

Some of the older generation of revolutionaries had tears in their eyes due to excitement.

"These young people did a great job."

"We have successors!"

Young people, especially students, were even more excited and felt that they had found a common direction to strive for.

"We should also learn from Comrade Huang Ziyuan! Resolutely fight against those bureaucrats!"

The next day, "Su Yan Daily" published "A Big-Character Poster Cheering for Yanda", which published the full text of Huang Ziyuan's big-character poster and gave it high praise.

"It is the voice of the proletarian spirit and the clarion call for the Suyan people's struggle in the new era!"

Afterwards, the Great Revolution entered its second stage, and literary and artistic criticism evolved into criticism of those in power.

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Body: Chapter 233 Ye Zhetai was taken away. This is a war!

Ye Zhetai is a professor of physics at Shuimu University.

In the academic world, his character is as famous as his achievements. He is a model of excellent scientific researchers, possessing all the advantages of this type of researchers, such as meticulousness, perseverance, adherence to truth, and passion for research...

For him, his life has been filled with countless formulas, experiments, teaching and research. He has an indifferent attitude towards things outside of academics and the turbulent social trends. He has neither interest nor attention.

He is a representative of this type of view, believing that anything tainted with politics will affect the purity of scientific research, so he stays away from politics and takes the initiative to become a political insulator.

With this mentality, Ye Zhetai spent the first half of his life safely and soundly.

His research results have won numerous awards, his classes are always full, and his students respect him very much.

In the ivory tower of physics, Ye Zhetai has become a "hermit" who is untainted by the worldly affairs and lives in seclusion in the city.

However, the tide of history will not take a detour just because an individual "stays out of it".

The storms stirred up by politics in the superstructure will naturally spread to all areas such as economy, culture, and science, and forcefully intervene in the lives of all those who are indifferent to it.

"Professor Ye, you have to be careful recently. If it is not necessary, don't go home. Just live in Shuimu University. It's very chaotic outside." One day, one of his students mentioned this during a break in the experiment.

Ye Zhetai, who was recording experimental data, paused for a moment, looked up at him, but then lowered his head again and responded in a flat tone: "I don't know what's going on outside, and I'm not interested in knowing. As long as I can do the experiment in peace, that's enough."

He knew that this student put a lot of energy into things that were not related to scientific research, and he had criticized him many times for this. Students should focus on studying instead of participating in those messy activities.

However, the student continued to behave the same and did not seem to take his words to heart, so Ye Zhetai became disappointed and gave up trying to persuade him.

Let this student be as he pleases, as long as he doesn't affect him.

Ye Zhetai did not take the student's well-intentioned reminder to heart and continued to maintain his own pace of life.

After the experiment, Ye Zhetai walked back home as usual.

His home is in a residential building near Shuimu University. Outside the window are rows of locust trees, and it is quiet and peaceful.

When I opened the door, soft light came towards me and the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

His wife Shaolin was busy working in an apron. His eldest daughter Ye Wenjie, a student at Shuimu University, was also wearing simple home clothes and standing by the stove to help cut vegetables.

The youngest daughter, Ye Wenxue, is a junior high school student, and is lying at the table doing her homework.

Such a heartwarming scene brought a faint smile to Ye Zhetai's lips.

After dinner, he skillfully brewed a pot of digestive tea, then sat down at his desk, opened a thick paper, tapped the table with the tip of his pen. The halo of the desk lamp made his figure look slender, and he was already immersed in the world of academia.

...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhetai heard a rapid and sharp collision.

He was startled by the sudden noise and hurried to the living room, where he saw his little daughter Ye Wenxue huddled up in fear in her mother's arms.

Ye Wenjie rushed into the kitchen with a serious look on her face, picked up her weapon, and stared at the door vigilantly.

After a few hits, the door lock broke completely and the wooden door was kicked open roughly.
