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

"Mr. Mu, I listen to you! I'll do whatever you say!"

This boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, is called "Wang Chunjiang". He is the child of "Lao Wang", a worker who was seriously injured and almost died not long ago. He is also the last child; the others are all dead.

The exploitation of workers is not just the overt exploitation of wages.

In their daily lives, they all suffer from oppression from various gangsters and hooligans who are dependent on the feudal class, the bureaucratic comprador class, and imperialist forces.

For example, "usury", "Sunday money", "football money", these are all kinds of names they use to exploit workers.

For example, if a worker wants to borrow 200 yuan, he will first deduct 500 yuan for shoes and socks, leaving him with only 700 yuan. He needs to pay yuan a day for two months, and the principal and interest total yuan. From the perspective of the borrower, he only gets yuan, and the monthly interest is yuan, which is a full % annual interest! ! And this is still a small amount. The annual interest of weekly money is more than %, and the annual interest of ball money is more than %! !

Perhaps some people who think “Why not just eat meat porridge” will ask, since the interest rate is so high, why not just not borrow?

However, under the triple oppression of feudalism, capitalism and the comprador bureaucracy, workers' income is too low. Once they encounter unemployment, illness, weddings or funerals, they have no way to get loans and nothing to pawn. In order to cope with temporary emergency expenses, they have no time to consider future suffering and are forced to fall into the trap of usury.

Like most dock workers, the Wang family spent all their savings on an illness and were forced to borrow money at high interest rates to pay for their treatment.

Under pressure from debt collectors, he engages in such dangerous work as "mountain jumping" in order to pay off the debts and save money to support his wife and children.

And his eldest son also went mountain jumping to help Lao Wang pay off his debts.

After Lao Wang lost his ability to work, his wife also fell ill due to the coercion of feudal bosses and debt collectors, and because of the fact that their eldest son died at the dock and her husband was paralyzed.

And their child, Wang Chunjiang, after comforting his mother who was about to hang herself, became furious and took out a knife, ready to fight those guys to the death!

But Mu Yuan stopped him and persuaded him to leave.

He helped Wang Chunjiang's family pay off part of their debts, allowed him to attend his night school, and told him that it was not one or two bosses who caused his family to become so miserable, but a group of vampires who ate the flesh and drank the blood of all the workers!

Since you are willing to give up your life, then use it in a more useful place. Unite with the workers and wipe out this group of vampires!

"Mr. Mu, you are absolutely right! I will listen to you!!"

After that, Wang Chunjiang became one of the most active and hardworking workers in the night school. He was not even satisfied with studying only in the night school. Outside of the night school, he also asked Mu Yuan to teach him more things.

Mu Yuan naturally agreed happily. With a child who wanted and was eager to learn, how could he not fulfill his wish?

He began to explain Marx and Ilyich to him, telling him about the birth and establishment of a workers' country thousands of miles away, and told him that the country under our feet, with our efforts, will definitely become a working class country, a proletarian country! !

Under this kind of instruction, Wang Chunjiang grew up quickly. Sometimes when he was quiet, he had the temperament of an intellectual, but the hatred burning like blood in his eyes told everyone that he was a worker!

Mu Yuan was very pleased with his change.

Workers should never be synonymous with low culture. They should master knowledge and theoretical weapons, no longer be confused by the rhetoric of the reactionaries, and no longer be bought by the bourgeoisie's charity-like phenomena. They should become the most advanced and wise class, able to see the essence through phenomena, and be able to organize themselves to carry out not only economic struggles but also political struggles!

In the report, Mu Yuan wrote:

"Around 1811, the working people of England launched the Luddite Movement, a great riot to destroy machines. This proletarian struggle showed the resistance of the English workers to capitalist exploitation. They turned from a class in itself to a class for itself.

So, what about the workers in our country? In my investigation, I found that the exploitation and oppression of workers are becoming more and more cruel, and their class consciousness is becoming more and more awakened. We can accelerate this speed through education, organization and other activities. This is not to force the growth of seedlings, but to add the last spark to the spark that is about to set the prairie on fire.

I am sure they will quickly become a class for themselves, with many small strikes and even a few large ones - with or without us."

In his report, Mu Yuan focused on describing the basic situation of dock workers.

"Dock workers are a group that is not only exploited by capitalists, but also by foreign imperialists and the remnants of the feudal system, namely, foremen and foremen. Among them, there is a poem that is widely circulated: 'Dock workers are worried about three things a day: work tickets in the morning, food for their livelihood at noon, and lack of accommodation at night.' This really illustrates their plight."

"Their income is pitifully low. Just looking at the apparent income, 97% of one dollar of income is taken away by the dock owners, capitalists, and gang leaders. The remaining % of the workers' income is also taken away by various hidden means, such as extortion, loan sharking, gambling, and Taipinghui, which are used to take away the little money the workers get.

There was a headman named Zhang Fa, nicknamed 'Living King of Hell', who even had to pay the water and electricity bills for his family to be paid by the workers. If anyone was unwilling or unwilling to give gifts, they would not be allowed to work at the dock he controlled.

"Even if dock workers work very hard, they still cannot eat enough all year round. They say: 'We work on the third floor, pounding the big bags, and we can't support the elderly or the children. We can't even support middle-aged people.' Most dock workers remain single all their lives. They can hardly support themselves, let alone their families!

They can’t even support their families, so naturally they can’t afford clothes. Most of them only have one tattered cotton jacket that they’ve worn for more than ten years. It’s been patched up and patched up again, and finally it’s heavy, weighing more than ten pounds! For them, this piece of clothing is something they wear all year round, protecting them from the sun in the summer, keeping out the wind and snow in the winter, using it as a quilt at night, and using it as a raincoat in the rain.

Needless to say, they don't have a place to live. Land is very expensive in Shanghai. How can they afford a house? Thatched huts and broken cabins are considered good. Some bachelors live under eaves, under buildings across the street, under dry bridges, and even in public toilets. They say with emotion, "The sky is my house, and the paving of my spine is my back."

After describing the miserable situation of the dock workers, Mu Yuan then described in detail the three major enemies of the dock workers and the three huge mountains pressing on them.

These are also the three huge mountains pressing down on the exploited and oppressed classes throughout the Great Yan country.

That is feudalism, bureaucratic comprador capitalism, and imperialism.

In the dock workers, the representatives of feudal forces are the feudal bosses, the representatives of bureaucratic comprador capitalism are the dock owners, and the representatives of imperialist forces are the dock companies.

Mu Yuan wrote at the end of the report:

"If these three mountains are not overthrown, the workers' situation will definitely not change much."

"I sincerely hope that the most fierce and united attack will be launched immediately on these three mountains!!"

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 149 This history is a history of cannibalism! We say: put an end to it!

After reading the end of the report, Chen Xiuquan turned it back to the beginning again. After reading it over and over again, his expression froze for a long time.

He seemed to be able to see between the lines the accusations of the workers' blood and tears, as well as the ubiquitous cannibalistic behavior of treating the workers like cattle and horses and eating them alive!

He suddenly remembered what Zhou Shuren wrote in his famous article, "I opened the history book and checked it. There was no date in the history book. On every page, the words "benevolence, righteousness, morality" were written crookedly. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I read it carefully for half the night. Only then did I see the words between the lines. The whole book was written with two words: "eat people"! 】

And this history of cannibalism has not ended until now, but is continuing instead!

He raised his head and saw Mu Yuan sitting there, staring at him deeply, waiting for his response.

Chen Xiuquan said, "Mu Yuan, your report is very well written. Before your report, the dock workers in Magic City had a miserable life. Not only did not many people in the world know about it, even in Magic City, I didn't know much about it."

Mu Yuan understood what he said.

This is a numb era, and this country is an even more numb country. Most people don’t care about what happens to others. They only care about how they can live.

Zhou Shuren criticized that "the Yan people are the most numb, they only know how to obey and do not know how to change, so they can never be independent."

His criticism is certainly powerful, but he did not analyze the root cause of why the Chinese people are "generally numb."

Analyzing from the social roots, the "general numbness" of the people is because social existence determines social consciousness. Among the 400 million people in Yan State, the peasant group accounts for 350 million people, and the peasant class is generally characterized by private ownership, narrow-mindedness, and conservatism. Therefore, the most common ideology in Yan State society is the peasant class's ideology of "obedience, numbness, and ignorance of change."

But criticism alone is not enough. In order to make Zhou Shuren's criticism fall from the level of criticism to the level of real society, it is necessary to use weapons and use real forces to destroy real forces.

Therefore, Zhou Shuren finally realized this and embarked on a more thorough revolutionary path.

Many historical narratives deliberately ignore Zhou Shuren's revolutionary experiences and describe him as a writer hiding in his study. However, Zhou Shuren led student resistance movements many times, often taught students how to resist in an organized manner, and participated in many revolutionary movements himself. Yet many history books written in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period deliberately ignore his important experiences as a revolutionary, mentioning only literature and not daring to mention the revolution at all.

This is ridiculous.

Seeing that Chen Xiuquan seemed to be hesitating, Mu Yuan stood up.

His eyes seemed to be filled with thorns, making Chen Xiuquan feel uneasy. He felt as if he was standing in front of the teacher as an unqualified student.

"Xiuquan, I hope that this report can be published in the Youth Daily and in all newspapers and periodicals that we can control, so that people in the Magic City and even the entire Yan Country can see this report!"

Of course, the weapon of criticism cannot replace criticism with weapons, and material force can only be destroyed by material force; but once theory has gained the masses’ grasp, it will also become material force. As long as theory convinces people, it can gain the masses; and as long as theory is thorough, it can convince people.

His words made Chen Xiuquan's eyes widen in surprise.

Mu Yuan explained: "This is what a propaganda position is like. If we don't occupy it, the enemy will occupy it. We must publicize the workers' experiences. This will greatly increase our strength!"

He felt this was a great opportunity.

At present, the thoughts of most reactionary warlords in Dayan are still stuck in the feudal society. They neither understand nor attach importance to "public opinion". They even feel that the clamor of a group of powerless peasants cannot threaten them at all.

It is true that public opinion is only a verbal force at the beginning, but if it is allowed to develop unchecked, it can quickly become a real force, from the anger of simple words to the anger of action. And if it is coupled with organized power, the isolated and scattered forces can be condensed into a whole. At this time, it is no longer a force that can be easily eliminated by the reactionary regime.

What Mu Yuan said makes a lot of sense.

However, Chen Xiuquan had many concerns about this. In the current Magic City, there were only more than 500,000 workers, and the strength of the working class was too small. He was worried that if Mu Yuan's report was put on the table as it was, it would provoke a full-scale counterattack by the reactionary warlords, and the spark that had just been ignited would be extinguished in an instant.

So, after a long silence, he said, "I promise you, but some things in your report are too radical, I need to revise them."

"Now is not the time for us to go to war with the reactionary forces. Mu Yuan, I hope you can understand."

understand?

Of course Mu Yuan could understand.

But when he thought about the miserable experiences those workers were enduring, he couldn't understand it.

If this is the case for the workers, what about the hundreds of millions of farmers throughout Dayan?

He could understand Chen Xiuquan, but who could understand them? !

He suppressed his suppressed emotions and said, "Xiuquan, I agree with your approach and understand your concerns, but I think that at this time, a slightly more radical approach is fine."

Chen Xiuquan hesitated and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Yuan seemed to take a step back and suggested, "You can publish the revised report in newspapers such as Youth Daily for the widest publicity, and I will publish the original report in our internal newspaper Liaoyuan."

"Liaoyuan? Indeed, this is a good idea."

Chen Xiuquan considered it carefully and felt that it was an option.

His main purpose in inviting Mu Yuan was to use his abilities to build a left-wing position covering the Magic City, and currently, this position is "Liaoyuan".

As of now...

Mu Yuan truly demonstrated his strength.

Based on the actual experiences of the workers in Yan Country that he had witnessed, he produced a translation of the "Manifesto" and explanatory materials that were in line with the current situation in Yan Country.

At the same time, he even borrowed from Bukharin's good introductory textbook "The Alphabet of Communism" which had not yet been written, and wrote his own textbook "The ABC of Communism", which, like "The Manifesto", served as an enlightenment textbook for Marxists.

The reason why it is called reference is that the second part of the book, about some theories of socialist construction, has been proven to be problematic in the socialist practice of the next hundred years, so he wrote down the correct answers verified by practice according to his own theoretical understanding...

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Bodies: Chapter 150 Sparks set the prairie on fire, burning with flames!

Mu Yuan has a historical foresight and his theoretical level is very high compared to this era.

The theoretical books he wrote are popular and easy to understand. They are not at all like the moral precepts in the feudal era, which deliberately raised the threshold to make it obscure and contained all kinds of seemingly reasonable but actually empty moral precepts. Instead, they are truly powerful and can guide practice.

These things undoubtedly transcended this era, whether it was the paradigm of text that could be used as a teaching material for the Da Yan vernacular, or some things that were common sense in his understanding but were shocking enough to change the worldview of people of this era.

For example, what he wrote at the very beginning: What is a party and what is the party program?

If the mouthpieces of the bourgeoisie were to write about this, they would certainly write a lot of meaningless things. They would say, "A party is a political organization that represents the interests of a certain class, stratum, or group and aims to hold or participate in state power to realize its political program." "A party program is a document that states a political party's guiding ideology, political propositions, and goals."

This kind of definition is just using concepts to explain concepts. It is completely empty and makes people confused. This is their purpose, which is to make people unable to understand it. This is the best way to prevent people from becoming interested in the nature of the party.

But what Mu Yuan wrote was for the whole society, for many workers and peasants with insufficient cultural level, and it needed to be understandable to people at once.

He wrote: “Any political party must achieve certain goals; otherwise it cannot be called a political party, and this applies to both the party of landlords and capitalists and the party of workers and peasants.”

“The purpose of the landlord party is to safeguard the interests of the landlord class. They study how to control the land, how to restrain the peasants, how to sell grain at high prices, and how to squeeze the landlords to pay high prices.”

“The purpose of the capitalist party is to safeguard the interests of the bourgeoisie. They study how to obtain cheap labor, how to tame factory workers, and how to earn more profits.”

"The purpose of the peasant party is to safeguard the interests of the peasant class. They must study how to fight against the landlords, how to have more food and farming tools, and how to protect their own land."

“The purpose of the working class party is to safeguard the interests of the working class. They must study how to fight against capitalists, how to fight for their own economic and political rights, and how to establish and maintain the working class’s political power.”

“It is not the class as a whole that joins a political party, but the best and most active section of the class. Those who join the workers’ party are the best and most active workers and poor peasants. Those who join the landlords’ and capitalists’ party are the most capable landlords, capitalists and their lackeys: lawyers, professors, officers, generals, etc.”

“And precisely because the party is composed of the best and most active members of this class, the landlords or capitalists who form a party can deal with the workers and peasants more effectively than those who are not organized. Similarly, the worker who joins the party can fight the capitalists and landlords more effectively than the non-party worker, because he has carefully considered the goals and interests of the working class and knows how to achieve them and what methods are the simplest and most feasible.”

“The programme of a political party is the whole of the aims which it strives to achieve in the interests of its class. The programme of the Social Democratic Labour Party declares what the workers and poor peasants must strive for.”

“To see whose party a party is, we first need to look at its program, and then we need to look at whose interests it protects in actual actions. This will tell us whether the party is a party of capitalists, landlords, or workers.”

By writing in this way, he explained some concepts in a very clear and easy-to-understand way. Even the workers who were originally illiterate had a basic understanding of these things after listening to his explanation.

Therefore, even Chen Xiuquan, despite his busy schedule, would still come to Liaoyuan every week to read the unpublished manuscripts carefully, and was often amazed by Mu Yuan's talent.

The torch of this prairie fire was soon passed on to the factories, schools, and intellectual groups in the Magic City, sparking heated discussions among them. Those who had the conditions organized reprinting, and those who did not had the conditions copied and circulated it. In this way, one person spread to ten, and ten to a hundred. Soon, the prairie fire spread out of the Magic City and spread to all parts of the country.

Many confused students and young people accidentally got a reprint of Liaoyuan's weekly magazine. After reading it, they felt like they had been enlightened. When it was time to go to bed, they still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the big words "Muyuan", infinite curiosity arose in their hearts.

Who exactly is Mr. "Mu Yuan"?

Many people who have the conditions set out on a journey to the Magic City with great enthusiasm. Perhaps one of their purposes is to meet Mu Yuan in the Magic City and ask him in person, "Sir, where is the future of Dayan, our future?"

Chen Xiuquan, who was in the Magic City, was completely unaware of this change. Society changes incredibly fast, and when former leaders stay in a corner, they cannot see the changes that have taken place on the land, and cannot understand the drastic changes that are taking place in this era, and their thoughts lag behind unconsciously.

After discussing the report, members of Youth Daily began to discuss Mu Yuan’s work as a dock worker.

Chen Xiuquan praised, "Mu Yuan, your approach is very good and worth promoting. If possible, we should not only run night schools at the docks, but also at textile, automobile, ship, iron and other factories, so that they will have the awareness to fight for management rights."

Mu Yuan nodded and said, "I have already made relevant plans. During the night school at the dock, I have identified two to three hundred activists. We can disperse them to various factories to carry out such work."

Afterwards, Mu Yuan explained the current organizational situation of the dock workers.

"After a period of publicity, the time is ripe. Dock workers have a strong desire to unite. They are ready to establish a shipping and warehouse workers' union. We need to help them."

He talked about the plan to establish this federation, and Chen Xiuquan listened and applauded.

"Very good! This is absolutely the best thing. This shows that our workers have begun to have class consciousness and have begun to have the consciousness of working people!"

They discussed various matters concerning the establishment of this federation, but they did not expect that the actual development had reached a more intense stage.
