Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 125: Magical Power, Perfect Mass Line Theory

Mu Yuan had been in St. Petersburg for almost half a year. Before that, the Bolsheviks had only a few thousand members, many of whom were not pure party members. For example, Malinovsky, a spy of the Tsarist government, had actually entered the Bolshevik central organ for a time.

According to normal historical development, after the February Revolution, the number of party members would increase tenfold to 50,000 or 60,000 people, and after the October Revolution, the number would increase even more rapidly.

However, by then, it will be impossible to estimate how many insignificant elements and opportunists there are among these newly joined party members.

In order to maintain the purity of the vanguard as much as possible, Mu Yuan took the more complete organizational framework and standards of later generations, as well as the more mature "mass line", and after fine-tuning them to suit today's reality, he wrote a systematic revolutionary theory textbook, which was distributed to the Bolsheviks for circulation and study.

In accordance with these principles, the Bolsheviks educated and re-educated millions of workers and soldiers, trained and selected suitable party members, and made technical preparations for the upcoming armed struggle.

Such as accumulating weapons, making plans about where to build barricades and which locations in the city should be occupied, conducting various reconnaissance operations, obtaining maps of prisons, gendarmes and other places, finding houses suitable for street fighting, and guiding the masses to arm themselves as much as possible with rifles, bombs, shovels, nails and other items that can arm themselves.

It is extremely necessary to arm the masses.

The relationship between the Party and the masses has always been a "fish and water relationship", and they are indispensable to each other.

The masses are divided into classes, which are usually led by political parties. The proletarian party, the vanguard organization of the proletariat, represents the interests of the proletariat and concentrates its will.

The proletarian party is a symbol of the proletariat's political maturity and the highest form of proletarian organization.

Without a revolutionary party, without a revolutionary party established in accordance with Marxist revolutionary theory and revolutionary style, it would be impossible to lead the working class and the broad masses of the people to defeat imperialism and its running dogs.

Therefore, in order to achieve revolutionary victory and overthrow the exploiting class, the Bolsheviks, a party guided by advanced theories, absorbed advanced elements of the proletariat from among millions of workers, soldiers and peasants, and built a large and vigorous vanguard organization capable of leading the proletariat and the revolutionary masses to fight against class enemies.

As a result, the power of the vanguard was greatly strengthened.

Another revolutionary climax since 1905 has arrived.

In 1905, the proletarian revolution reached a great climax. The Bolsheviks led the workers in a nationwide strike and firmly supported the peasants' struggle against the landlords.

In the last three months of 1905, 150 million workers went on strike, peasant uprisings broke out in percent of Russia's regions, and hundreds of landlords' estates were burned down.

However, the Tsar weakened the revolutionary struggle of the masses by arrests and executions, dissolved the State Duma, arrested and tried members of the opposition party groups, closed down workers' newspapers, dissolved and destroyed trade unions, surrounded workers' organizations with large numbers of spies, and used black gangs to strangle the revolutionary masses in various places.

革命进入了低潮期，1905年共有300万罢工的工人；1906年，罢工的人数减少到100万；1907年，只有40万人；1908年，17.4万人；1909年，居然减少到了6.4万人！

Fortunately, Vladimir remained clear-headed and did not lose his vigilance because of his initial victory. Among all the defeated opposition and revolutionary parties, the Bolsheviks retreated in the most orderly manner and preserved the main force of the party.

At the beginning of 1917, Vladimir returned home.

The purpose of convening this general meeting was to understand the situation of mass movements in various regions, summarize the conclusions, and judge whether the time for revolution was ripe and whether to go to war with the Tsarist government immediately.

After listening to Felix's story, Joseph's face turned red with excitement.

"It's incredible. We now have more than 300,000 party members?!"

“Yes, and the number continues to increase.”

Felix said that a few months ago, the Bolsheviks were still very weak. In recent years, the arrests and shootings by the Tsarist gendarmerie forced them to move most of their forces underground and prevent them from carrying out open activities. As a result, the Bolsheviks became a minority, while the majority were groups such as the Socialist Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks.

However, since the Bolsheviks began to operate openly a few months ago, using speeches, newspapers, rallies and other actions to spread propaganda, most workers and soldiers have completely despised other groups and turned to support the Bolsheviks.

“So it took the Bolsheviks only a few months to become the leaders of the workers and soldiers?”

Totsky, who was standing aside, had an inexplicable look on his face, with confusion and suspicion in his eyes.

He didn't understand.

Are the minds of workers and soldiers made of plasticine? Can their thinking be changed in an instant?

You know, the Bolshevik organizational principle is democratic centralism.

In the seven areas of industry, agriculture, commerce, education, military, government and party, the Party leads everything.

Could these workers and soldiers, who were still living in the old era, change their thinking so quickly and follow the party's democratic centralism?

The so-called democratic centralism of the party means implementing centralization on the basis of democracy and democracy under centralized guidance.

Individual Party members must obey the organization, the minority must obey the majority, the lower levels must obey the higher levels, and the entire Party must obey the Central Committee. Party organizations at all levels must unify their understanding, policies, plans, command, and actions under the leadership of the Central Committee's correct line.

Create a political situation that has both centralization and democracy, both discipline and freedom, both unified will and personal comfort and liveliness.

In Trotsky's heart, he did not believe that these workers and soldiers who had suffered numbly under the Tsar's rule could change their minds and become qualified Bolsheviks in just half a year.

He was also considered an old revolutionary. Although he was abroad, he had always been paying attention to the revolutionary situation in the country and had always been in contact with Vladimir.

But he didn't know that the Bolsheviks possessed this "magical power".

Yes, in his eyes, this is the "magic" of the Bolsheviks.

What magic did the Bolsheviks have that could win such strong support from workers and soldiers? What magic power could make workers and soldiers undergo such earth-shaking changes?

PS:

I have to review every chapter, which is very stressful.

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Bodies: Chapter 126 Don't Be Like a Driver

Felix noticed Totsky's hesitation, chuckled, and shrugged.

"Seriously, it was because we, the Bolsheviks, were the only ones who were determined to see the revolution through to the end.

Both the bourgeoisie and the Mensheviks supported the revolution half-heartedly and out of selfishness. As soon as the autocracy made concessions and their narrow selfish interests were satisfied, they would inevitably turn together to the counter-revolution, to the autocracy, to oppose the revolution and the people.

All we have done is to make the workers, peasants, soldiers, and the petty bourgeoisie, who are on the verge of bankruptcy, realize this.”

Totsky was still somewhat confused. He could sense that there was some undeniable truth in Felix's words, but this was the strangest part.

Is the so-called "knowledge" really that simple?

For example, can those vulgar peasants who cannot read a single word really unite with them, can they really listen to reason, and will not oppose the workers and the Bolsheviks?

Felix didn't explain anything to him any more.

There was no shortage of people like Trotsky at this congress. The Bolsheviks did not have some magic that could bring unity to the masses. All they had now done was to build a core group of highly conscious people in the surrounding cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow.

However, Tsarist Russia was too large, and the Bolsheviks were temporarily unable to take into account the strength of party organizations in other regions. Many regional leaders still maintained an outdated mindset. They had been frightened by the Tsar’s attacks in recent years and did not dare to revolt, were afraid of attacks, and were afraid of death. They did not even believe that the Bolsheviks could build such a huge force within half a year.

If they cannot keep up with the team in the subsequent revolutionary struggle and transform their own understanding of the world, then they will have to leave the vanguard.

After he separated from Totsky with Joseph, he continued to communicate with Joseph.

"Joseph, the new generation replaces the old," he said, his eyes firm and a little serious, "We, the old revolutionary warriors, must adapt to the current revolutionary situation, strengthen the transformation of our self-awareness, and follow the party's line. Otherwise, we will be left behind and surrounded by those decadent and backward things."

He added: "We must not, like Trotsky, go straight over to the Menshevik side in terms of ideology."

After he said this, Joseph finally remembered who Totsky was who he had just communicated with.

As early as ten years ago, he came up with the theory of "permanent revolution".

Trotsky believed that the revolution did not require the participation of the peasants, that the alliance with the peasants and the revolutionary democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and the peasants were empty words, and that the peasants would inevitably oppose the working class.

At the same time, he argued that the Russian revolution could only be victorious when a victorious European working-class regime was established throughout Europe and the victorious European proletariat helped the Russian proletariat in its struggle against the peasants.

This theory can be said to be "notorious" and was severely criticized by Vladimir many times. He believed that this was a completely Menshevik theory. It not only underestimated the role of peasants in the revolution, but also did not believe in the leadership of the proletariat and the ability of the working class to win over and lead the peasants, and actually disarmed the working class.

"So it was him. It seems like he hasn't changed at all over the years."

Thinking of the ideological understanding revealed in Totsky's few words during the conversation just now, Joseph was a little confused.

He had always followed Vladimir and was equally scornful of this theory.

However, the Tsarist government and the autocratic system were the enemies of all revolutionary forces. The Bolsheviks had always been striving for all forces that opposed the Tsarist autocracy. Disapproving of Trotsky’s theory did not mean that they would regard him as a mortal enemy. After all, the other party was also opposing Tsarist Russia, being persecuted by it, and living in exile in various countries.

This has always been the policy of the Bolsheviks, to strive for all progressive forces. Otherwise, if the revolutionary forces with different ideologies started fighting before the Tsarist government was overthrown, it would be ridiculous, and the Tsar would laugh.

However, the united front does not mean going along with the crowd. There is still a question of leadership. Each political group represents the interests of a certain class or a part of a class. The Bolsheviks must hold the leadership firmly in their hands because they are the only ones who represent the interests of the proletariat.

Vladimir always adhered to this fundamental principle. Influenced by him, many people, including Felix and Joseph, became the most determined proletarian revolutionaries.

"Felix, I haven't changed."

Joseph clenched his fist and lightly hit Felix's chest, with a serious and determined smile on his face.

“A few decades is a long time, and many people have changed, many have surrendered, many have betrayed the revolution, and many have become running dogs.

But I won’t become like that, I will never fall behind! ”

"My trust in you is as strong as steel." Felix's voice was equally firm.

He paused, as he was about to tell this old friend in detail some important things that he was not convenient to tell just now.

A hand patted his shoulder gently.

"Let me explain."

Felix blinked and chuckled, a sound he was all too familiar with.

"In that case, Comrade Mu Yuan, you should explain it."

He said, turning to look at the person who came.

Mu Yuan stood behind them with a warm smile on his face.

There seemed to be an invisible force supporting his eyes, like a hundred-meter building with a foundation of ten thousand feet that could not be shaken by anything.

Joseph narrowed his eyes.

Mu Yuan...he had heard of this name.

"Hello, Comrade Joseph, my name is Mu Yuan, and this is also my pen name."

Mu Yuan smiled, stretched out his hand and shook Joseph's hand.

He had a favorable impression of this iron comrade.

He was the leader of the Bolsheviks after Vladimir, building the Russian Soviet into the center of the world proletarian revolution, and actively supporting the proletarian revolution in various countries.

Although some of his policies were problematic, when he was the leader, the working class held power in the country and remained the masters of the country.

When he died, the bourgeoisie within the party seized power, although they whitewashed their policies very well and gave some people a short-term improvement in living standards through economic stimulus for a short period of time.

However, this does not change the fact that the working class has lost power. Without power, the state apparatus, and the military, all the benefits the working class has gained in the short term will eventually be taken back. For example, eight hours of work have become twelve or sixteen hours, weekends have become one day off, no day off, and voluntary labor, and social insurance has gone bankrupt and the funds are nowhere to be found.

"Comrade Mu Yuan...it's you!"

Joseph was somewhat excited, his eyes sparkling.

During his exile, he still tried to maintain communication with the central government.

Since communication was too difficult, he entrusted correspondents to bring him a lot of letters, newspapers and books at one time.

During those difficult times shrouded in severe cold, he read those letters, newspapers and books over and over again. They were like a warm fire illuminating his tired face. He seemed to be able to feel infinite power and was greatly inspired in those texts expounding theory and revolution.

"Comrade Mu Yuan, I have read all the articles you have written. They are well written and powerful. They can not only guide the revolution, but also convince people, inspire people, and ignite the infinite flame in people's hearts."

Joseph stared at the young-looking man with some excitement.

He looks very young, only about 30 years old, but he has excellent theoretical knowledge and a deep understanding of Marxism.

What impressed Joseph most at first sight was his eyes.

There seemed to be a real flame burning in his eyes, which made people feel a real warmth.

This flame burned in the darkness, the flames burned endlessly, blazing and dazzling, as if saying: "If there is no torch in the future, then I will be the only light."

"You are overpraising me. All my knowledge and theories are based on the shoulders of my predecessors and are the fruits of countless proletarian people's revolutionary practices. I just express these achievements in the language I am accustomed to."

A smile appeared on Mu Yuan's lips.

Looking into Comrade Steel's piercing eyes, he said, "Comrade Joseph, the Party has prepared some very important information for our comrades. You must seize the time to thoroughly understand it, adapt to, understand and fully see the current revolutionary situation."

Mu Yuan said in a serious tone.

"You don't have much time left, comrade. We will immediately launch a general offensive against the Tsarist government. This imperialist war, this war that has cost the proletariat countless painful prices, must end!"

PS:

I recommend Lenin's book "State and Revolution", an enlightenment book for the Bolsheviks, which is very powerful.

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Bodies: Chapter 127: The Experience of an Ordinary Laborer from Da Yan

When the world war between imperialists broke out, Tsarist Russia actively participated in the struggle for hegemony between imperialists, sending more than 15 million people to various battlefields, with more than 2 million soldiers dying on the battlefields alone.
