But some people were not polite and directly criticized him as a traitor to Marxism, a Kautsky-like person who wanted to skip the stage of "democratic revolution" and "leap into the air" to realize socialism "all at once", and in fact wanted to destroy the proletarian revolution all at once.
In addition to this thesis of "permanent revolution", Trotsky also has a classic thesis of "world revolution".
"...It is inconceivable that the socialist revolution can be accomplished within the limits of a single country. One of the fundamental causes of the crisis of bourgeois society is that the productive forces it creates are no longer reconcilable with the limits of the national state. Hence, on the one hand, the imperialist war, and on the other, the utopia of the bourgeois federation of Europe. The socialist revolution begins on the national arena, unfolds on the international arena and is completed on the world stage. Thus, in a new and broader sense, the socialist revolution becomes a permanent revolution; it is completed only with the final victory of the new society over our entire globe."
This is his view of "world revolution", which holds that it is difficult to accomplish socialist revolution within the scope of one country.
Similarly, some people will make a soft assessment, believing that his "world revolution" has some truth to it, that capitalism has established a world division of labor and a world economic system, that no country can play all the roles in this complex division of labor, that Russia is dependent on Europe's advanced technology, and that Europe is dependent on Asia's raw materials. No country has all kinds of rich resources and more developed technology in the world.
Therefore, building socialism in one country, building a socialist country in the capitalist world, is like building a clear pond in the midst of dirty mud. The pond will eventually be polluted by the mud. Socialism built in one country will also fail sooner or later.
But some people think he is talking nonsense. Is socialism built in one country doomed to fail? Should we not build it? They think he is a typical opportunist, that he wants to give up the fruits of the revolution, that he wants to ruin the revolution, and that he has typical traitorous ideas.
Mu Yuan belongs to the latter. He believes that Trotsky's theory has left a lasting legacy, causing many Marxists of later generations to fall into a pit from which they cannot climb out.
Therefore, he also wrote articles criticizing this theory. The theoretical basis of the article was "the theory of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat", which was the great achievement of Li Runzhi and countless people in the thirty years of construction and revolution.
He wrote: "The ultimate goal of the proletarian revolution is to eliminate the bourgeoisie and all exploiting classes and realize communism. In order to achieve this goal, there can be no utopianism that transcends practice, but it is necessary to go through a series of successive and distinct revolutionary development stages based on the development of basic social contradictions and class contradictions.
In guiding the revolution, the proletarian party must clearly distinguish the nature of the revolutionary stages and must not confuse the revolutionary tasks of different stages and accomplish them all in one fell swoop. At the same time, the two stages of the revolution must be closely connected so that after the tasks of one revolutionary stage are basically achieved, the revolution can develop uninterruptedly to the next higher stage until communism is fully realized.
Therefore, Trotsky’s “direct growth” of revolution is unrealistic. Only under the dictatorship of our proletarian party, the proletariat can consciously and actively use the power of the state apparatus to continuously promote the progress of the revolution.
...
Facing Mu Yuan's questioning, Bukharin did not evade. He met the cold gaze calmly and shook his head.
"I am not siding with Trotsky. I just think that some of his theories are worth learning, especially his view on using war to promote the development of the German revolution."
Mu Yuan sneered.
"What a joke! His theory is just a bunch of shit that looks like gold! Only a dull-witted person like you who studies theory but not history or military affairs would believe his nonsense!"
Bukharin and Trotsky had a good personal relationship, which was not a problem.
However, to slide towards Trotsky in both understanding and action would be a serious error in line.
The list of members of the Central Committee was originally finalized at seven people, including Totsky and Lyudmila.
Trotsky was a veteran, having served as the leader of the Petrograd Soviet in the 1905 revolution. After going into exile, he founded newspapers as a base to advocate revolution and oppose war. He was both famous and experienced.
Lyudmila was one of the highest members of the Military Committee. She designed the organizational structure of the workers' armed forces and wrote a large number of books on military strategy and tactics. She personally established the workers' Red Guards in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other places. At the same time, she was preparing a standing army in Soviet Russia to deal with the impending counterattack of imperialism.
However, Mu Yuan was very opposed to Trotsky joining the committee. If his influence was allowed to expand as it had in history, and a Trotskyist faction was separated from the party, leading to the division of revolutionary forces, it would be better to kick him out from the beginning.
He persuaded Vladimir, and Totsky's name was finally removed. However, since the committee members generally had an odd number of members in order to implement the resolution, Lyudmila voluntarily withdrew, so the seven-member committee became a five-member committee.
Bukharin, who originally had Trotsky as his comrade to share the firepower, now seemed alone and helpless under Mu Yuan's rebuke.
"Bukharin, you only thought about continuing the war and bringing Germany to its knees, but you never thought that the nature of the war had completely changed the moment Soviet Russia was established!
The war between Tsarist Russia and Germany was an imperialist war, a struggle for the interests of the exploiting classes of the two countries!
The current Soviet Russia is our own proletarian country. The Soviet Russian proletariat's demand is peace! We are the party of the proletariat, and we have promised peace to the proletarian masses!
Continuing the war is a betrayal of the tens of millions of proletarian people in Soviet Russia!
To continue the war means to continue the Soviet and German proletariat's fighting and bleeding on the battlefield. Regardless of whether the war results in victory or defeat, it will be a great failure in the revolutionary strategy, because the Soviet Union's revolutionary strength has been lost, and it has taken a big step towards failure. In comparison, the imperialists in the world who have been eyeing them covetously have become stronger, and it has taken a big step towards victory!
So, Bukharin, tell me, why should we continue the war with them?"
Revolution is not something that happens overnight, and the current Soviet Russia needs peaceful development.
Mu Yuan didn't want the blood of the proletariat to be shed in such a place. There were better ways to make a revolution in Germany. Why should the proletariat of the two countries bleed together on the battlefield?
"..."
Bukharin was speechless. In the end, he could only take a deep breath and look at Mu Yuan.
“I accept criticism.”
He lowered his head, "I have no objection."
"In that case."
Vladimir nodded slightly.
The treaty proposed by Germany was very harsh, even requiring the Soviet Union to cede more than 100 million square kilometers of land. It seemed to be a humiliating armistice treaty, so many people opposed it.
However, Germany's temporary military victory could not conceal its complete political failure.
Although the Soviet Union seemed to have lost a lot, it was only a temporary defeat. The precious opportunity for recovery and construction that it could gain after the armistice was real benefit.
On the contrary, Germany seems to have gained a lot, but it is only a temporary victory. It is impossible for Germany to win the world war, and after its complete defeat, the current military government will inevitably collapse, and the treaty signed with it is just a piece of paper and can be easily abolished.
Finally, he announced the results, bringing the meeting to a close.
Dark Forest: Liberation of the Three Body: Chapter 133 Marshal Lyudmila, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army is established
After signing a peace treaty with Germany, the Soviet Union announced its unconditional withdrawal from the imperialist world war. Its main task thereafter was domestic construction and the elimination of reactionary forces in the country.
As a result, there was a debate in the Soviet Union about the issue of building the army.
Because of her outstanding military talent, Lyudmila was appointed as the chief of the Military Committee, and Trotsky, due to his rich military experience, was appointed as the vice chairman of the committee. Together, the two of them were in charge of the Soviet Union's military building work.
However, the two had serious differences over whether to establish a standing army.
In fact, if this question is put to the government of any bourgeois country, there is no doubt that the answer is "yes".
The governments of bourgeois countries need a standing army to suppress the proletariat and maintain their exploitative rule.
The army is a necessary condition for maintaining their rule. Without the army, they will be overthrown by the rebellious people in an instant.
However, in a socialist country, this issue needs to be carefully considered.
"The standing army is a product of private ownership. We are a country of proletarian dictatorship. Why should we retain this stinking system?"
Totsky snorted, his eyes widening and his eyebrows raised.
"..."
There was no sign of hesitation on Lyudmila's face. She put down the notebook in her hand, placed it on the table, pushed it, and placed it in front of Totsky.
"The standing army system does have many problems, but the current model of the Workers' Red Guards has exposed some serious problems. On the one hand, they usually need to engage in production work, have little training time, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of professional armies. On the other hand, if workers are sent to the battlefield as soldiers, there will be a shortage of workers in the factory, which will affect the production and construction of a city."
After listing some reasons, she concluded: "I think that at the beginning of the birth of a socialist country, it is indeed necessary to establish a standing army with high organization and combat effectiveness to suppress domestic reactionary forces and resist foreign imperialist forces."
Totsky was startled, picked up Lyudmila's little notebook and began to read it.
The small notebook contains Lyudmila's detailed analysis of the current situation and her suggestions, as well as the various problems exposed by the current workers' Red Guard system in various regions. The handwriting is neat and the structure is clear.
Totsky did not know that although Lyudmila was a "standing army" faction at the moment, she did not like the standing army system.
In a country with proletarian dictatorship, the proletarian party holds an absolute leadership position over the standing army.
If the vanguard of the proletariat has not degenerated and has not become corrupt, then this proletarian army will naturally become the armed force to defend the workers and peasants and the most powerful support for guarding the proletarian state.
But if the vanguard of the proletariat gradually degenerates into a privileged class that is opposed to the people, the army, which is absolutely dominated by the corrupt vanguard, will naturally degenerate into a bureaucratic army.
This bureaucratic army is not the army of the masses. They will follow the interests of the bureaucratic privileged class and suppress students, workers, peasants, and all resistance of the proletariat. At this time, this army is a reactionary armed force of the tsarist forces, a "white terror" army that is no different from the old tsarist forces.
This was proven in the future history that Lyudmila knew. The so-called people's army, under the orders of their superiors, pointed their guns at the unarmed people, and their hands were stained with blood.
Therefore, she hoped that the people would arm themselves and establish a people's armed force throughout the country, rather than having to rely on a mercenary army that was completely separated from the workers and peasants to protect themselves after all the weapons of resistance were confiscated.
Many historical facts have proved that the standing army system must be abolished in a socialist country.
However, this abolition, like the demise of the state, is not something that can be achieved immediately, but requires a long period of time.
With the development of the socialist country and the improvement of the literacy of the proletarian masses, the "militia system" will slowly replace the "standing army system", and the standing army will be gradually reduced until it is finally completely replaced by the "militia".
So, Lyudmila’s point is clear.
She favors abolishing the standing army, but not right now.
Within Soviet Russia, the White Army had not yet been completely eliminated, and the remnants of the Tsarist government colluded with the landlord class and the bourgeoisie to establish a White government.
Outside the Soviet Union, imperialist forces were watching covetously, but because the world war had tied up too much of their energy, they had not yet invaded. But as the Soviet regime won victory after victory, they would soon strangle this great regime at all costs.
Although the Soviet Union seems to be in a relatively peaceful stage now, it is clear that internal and external troubles cannot be ignored.
Therefore, the Soviet Union now needs a highly organized and highly combat-capable standing army led by the Bolsheviks to deal with all possible emergencies.
And Lyudmila just happened to have a complete system for building a socialist standing army, such as giving speeches and propaganda at the grassroots level of the army, conducting political education, setting up party branches, establishing branches in companies, and personally holding elections and assessments of branch leaders. At the same time, she would examine, talk to, summarize and evaluate every military chief, and create files, etc.
If this system is implemented, she can quickly build a red army with good combat effectiveness.
Totsky listened attentively, flipping through Lyudmila's notebook, carefully studying her army building theory and specific measures, and was deeply shocked. These measures were not only thorough and detailed, but also very practical, and were obviously well thought out and verified in practice.
"...your stuff is very mature."
Totsky put down his notebook, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down in his seat, with a hint of admiration and emotion in his expression.
He had long heard that Lyudmila was an extremely outstanding female marshal who was not only a master of military tactics, but also wrote some groundbreaking military theories. Under her leadership, the originally loosely organized and weakly combat-capable Workers' Red Guards quickly became a powerful military force capable of suppressing the gendarmerie and the White Army.
What was recorded in this notebook was a very mature theory of building an army, which he felt ashamed of not being able to match.
Totsky's eyes swept over every page of the notebook, secretly admiring Lyudmila's wisdom.
No wonder, the work of building the army was led by her, and he, Totsky, was just an assistant.
After he was convinced, one of the largest opposition factions disappeared.
Lyudmila's proposal encountered no more obstacles and the resolution was passed by a majority vote at the committee meeting.
The first Red Army of Workers and Peasants in human history began to be established.
Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 134: Repel the armed intervention of twelve countries, and a ghost roars in Europe!
More than a year has passed since the proletariat of Soviet Russia seized power and established a state of proletarian dictatorship.
During this period, the imperialist countries were unwilling to lose 100 million "two-legged sheep" who allowed them to "clip coupons", and surprisingly put aside their conflicts of interest and sent troops to overthrow the proletarian regime of the Soviet Union.
Twelve countries launched three large-scale attacks on the Soviet Union from various directions.
The cold winter wind howled past, carrying with it the chilly smell of war, as if it was about to once again submerge this land where a great revolution had just taken place.
However, the newly born Soviet was not shaken by this. The Bolsheviks anticipated the coming of war and quickly established a red armed force of workers and peasants.
Before the attack from the twelve countries arrived, this red army quickly wiped out the white reactionary forces in the country, including the Caucasus region, the Ulan region, the East Siberia region, the Far East region... When the imperialist forces were still wary of the power of the Soviet Union and did not dare to send troops rashly, the new Soviet regime had basically completed unification.
Therefore, when the imperialist exploiting class finally made up their minds to eliminate this "government of the lower class" even at the cost of their own flesh and blood, they had already missed the best opportunity.
The strategy used by the Soviet Union was a three-pronged approach.
War, propaganda, armed uprising.
If you can avoid fighting, don't fight. But if you have to fight, you must win. Use the victory of your own war to undermine the morale of the intervening troops and avoid further war.
Use propaganda to arouse anti-war and war-weary sentiments among the soldiers of the intervening countries, propagate class ideas and Marxism, and tell them who their enemies should be. At the same time, carry out propaganda among the people in their own countries.
The soldiers and people of the imperialist countries had experienced the cruel world war and were extremely disgusted with war. Soviet propaganda was like a fuse that ignited the powder keg, making their resistance emotions no longer suppressed.
At the same time, the establishment and consolidation of the Russian Soviet regime was undoubtedly a groundbreaking event for the proletarian parties in various European countries. They sent members of their organizations to Soviet Russia to seek advice and learn advanced experiences in propaganda, organizational construction, armed struggle, etc.
Soviet Russia unreservedly imparted these “magic weapons” to proletarian organizations in various European countries, and sent personnel with rich experience in struggle back to their countries to help them develop their own revolutionary cause.
As a result, not only did the soldiers on the front lines launch armed uprisings one after another, but even in the imperialist rear areas, under the propaganda and agitation of these proletarian organizations, the workers also continued to protest and even began armed struggle.
Every workers' meeting is full of heated discussions and angry emotions. In a dilapidated factory in France, workers who are exhausted by endless labor gathered together, their thin faces full of determination and anger.
The rally was led by a proletarian organizer who had been trained in the Soviet Union. He stood on a crude podium and said in a loud and firm voice: "Comrades, remember who we are!
We are the working class, the proletariat, and the vanguard of the revolution! The imperialist exploiting class is just a vampire parasitic on us! Their war is for their own interests, not for our future!
We have lost too much in the imperialist wars! We cannot shed blood and sacrifice for their interests any longer! "
The workers nodded one after another, with angry flames flashing in their eyes. Some clenched their fists, some hugged each other, and excitement filled the air. Then, they held up the red flags, took to the streets, and shouted deafening slogans: "Down with imperialism! Down with capitalists! Long live the Bali Commune! Long live the working class!"
At the same time, on the battlefield, the soldiers on the front line also began to resist. Their disgust for the war and resonance with Soviet propaganda made them lay down their weapons and start an armed uprising. The soldiers no longer obeyed the orders of their superiors, but began to organize their own Red Army and fight against the oppression of imperialism together with their former comrades.
On a cold night, in a military camp on the front line of Germany, several soldiers sat around a campfire, whispering about future plans. The flames of the campfire reflected on their resolute faces, and one of the soldiers stood up and said in a low but firm voice: "We can no longer fight for those corrupt officials. We have to fight for ourselves, for our families, and for our future!"
His words were echoed by other soldiers, who nodded and clenched their weapons. Under the firelight, their eyes were firm, and they revealed an indescribable tacit understanding and trust between each other. So, they quietly left the barracks and joined the Red Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, starting a new battle - fighting for the liberation of the proletariat of the world!
Not only in France and Germany, but also in all European countries, more and more proletarian parties began to take action. They organized strikes, launched protests, and even launched armed uprisings. The whole continent seemed to be burning with red flames.
A ghost, communism, is wandering around Europe! The rulers of the imperialist countries were horrified to find that the army and workers on whom they relied to maintain their rule were actually standing against them!
Seeing this "red plague" spreading at such an alarming rate, the imperialists turned pale with fear. The rulers of the exploiting classes were afraid that they would be caught and killed by their own soldiers and workers like the tsarist aristocrats, landlords and capitalists who were hanged in Tsarist Russia. So they hurriedly wanted to recall the army to suppress the workers' movement in the country.
However, the Soviet Union had predicted this in advance and cleverly created a time difference. At various strategic locations, the Soviet Union's Red Armed Forces had already made preparations. When these troops that had penetrated deep into the interior of Russia retreated, they quickly ambushed them at these locations. In the end, a large number of troops from the twelve countries were surrounded and captured in an organized manner.
This battle not only dealt a heavy blow to the morale of imperialism, but also greatly inspired the revolutionary forces throughout the world. It was like a sharp sword that pierced the mask of the paper tiger of imperialism and allowed workers and peasants around the world to see the hope of revolution.
