Chapter 156: The Origin of the Source (Part 2)

The New Year's New Year was spent on the road, sleeping in the wind and not even eating dumplings.

But this was the most unforgettable and happiest year they had.

This is the first time they have officially stepped onto the stage called politics. Although they only show their side like those people disguised as red flowers and green leaves on the stage scene, they declare that they are qualified to step onto the stage.

After this incident, they understood that the power of organizing together could form a force that is facing one's face, and with a legitimate employee association they are no longer a mess.

After this, they felt that they were a living person, a person living under the sunlight that was slightly extravagant to miners, and this sunlight was themselves.

They can proudly go back and tell most of the children who are destined to become miners that they have straightened their backs and won less death for themselves and for their descendants. They can also face those once confused and puzzled families and tell them what the fright and intimidation they have been suffered these days.

For what? They still can't tell what the future they are fighting for, but they know that they have won the present.

What is the future like? How can we completely get rid of this extreme poverty and suffering?

They felt that the people of the Employees Association would tell them. Members of the Mexican Party would tell them.

…………

Although the members of the Mo Party Central Committee in Fujian City were very happy, they had no time to celebrate this victory.

This is the first time they have truly stepped onto the political stage and have succeeded.

It is indeed worth celebrating.

After this incident, the influence of the Mo Party has expanded even more. In Fujian City, it can be regarded as a polite person. It has even become a curse term within some guilds. Once a workshop owner in the guild expresses sympathy for the hired workers, he will be called a black-colored molecule.

After this incident, in just two days, the number of employees who wanted to join the Employees Association increased six times compared to before, while some employees of the Employees Association were eager to become formal members of the party.

These things are worth discussing, and those who join the Employees Association must be carefully reviewed to prevent the destruction of those who are involved in the future.

In addition, we have to safely hire workers to take them back to the mining area, and finally negotiate with the mine owner who has not gone to Fujian City to resume coal mining transportation as soon as possible to restore Fujian City to its former past, etc., all of which require a lot of manpower and time.

Therefore, even if this is a good thing to celebrate, there is no time to celebrate.

The Committee decided that all internal members must write a report on this petition, summarizing the shortcomings and deficiencies of this action, and summarizing the successful experience of this time for later use.

The public opinion propaganda department’s pen must also write something as soon as possible, praise this action and spread it to other places as soon as possible.

As a regret for the yellow paper window incident, this time, all the windows of the mining area employers' associations will be replaced with large pieces of glass, donated by Chen Jian personally as a celebration of victory.

All of these are bright and beautiful, which can make people happy and excited.

But in addition to this brightness, there is also a dangerous lurking.

The success of this incident has widened the differences accumulated before.

Given the current situation and productivity level, the Mo Party was an organization with confusion in thought and no complete program at the beginning of its founding. Now, it is inevitable that there will be disputes over ideas.

Utopianism, radicals, bourgeois democrats, liberals, conspiring rioters, anarchists, reformists, handicraft cooperatives... all of these will develop their own programs and ideas as the expansion of the workshop and this petition incident.

The so-called program and concept are things that can treat symptoms and root causes.

At the beginning, many people can be united for a lofty ideal, but as ideals and reality are intertwined, this unity will gradually loosen.

When you are in the same purpose, you can unite, but there will definitely be differences in the future. At that time, you may only be able to shake hands and smile lightly, and say that you will go your separate ways when you see each other on the battlefield.

It represents the petty citizens and some people in the small handicraft industry have expressed dissatisfaction with Chen Jian's strong opposition to the small handicraft industry who took the opportunity to encourage the small handicraft industry to fight for benefits by guilds and contractors. He believes that Chen Jian wasted a great opportunity and never tried it, so how could he know that he would fail?

Those who represent reformists and bourgeois democrats have become uneasy about the ideas of internal radicals and utopianism, such as state-owned land and collective ownership of workshops, and have expressed difficulty accepting it and believed that this violates respect for ownership.

The reformists and bourgeois democrats and liberals also have differences. Treating headaches with headaches is not a solution. What should we do in the future? How can we avoid these situations? Is it a representative system? Or is it a national participation? Is it a centralized government? Or is it a decentralized power among counties? Where is the boundary of freedom? Where is the boundary of equality? Who will balance? Who will supervise?

Apart from these, those who support Chen Jian have opposed some utopianism's absolute equality and asceticism, but Chen Jian describes the future, while utopians are based on reality, which is difficult to convince.

Even within utopianism, there are serious differences.

Some governments that rely on hopes to surpass all rights, thus promoting some welfare laws and tax distribution; some believe that they should no longer participate in political struggles, but focus on cooperatives and handicraft workshop consortiums; some believe that some absolutely equal cooperatives, collective labor, etc. should be formed with the Mexican Party as the core; some believe that such petition activities can be carried out but must be appropriate, and the main experience should be placed on the practical technology institute. As long as you work hard to develop productivity, all problems will be solved...

These signs are gradually maturing and are beginning to try to depict the future, hoping to find a way to perfectly solve all the injustice and ugliness of this.

Based on this situation, it was proposed that an enlarged meeting be held in Fujian City in July this year, and representatives of all grassroots organizations, allies from the capital and other cities and sympathizer organizations should invite them.

In name, it is to celebrate the victory on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

In fact, many people have heard the meaning.

Or these people jointly discuss a program that everyone can accept, and they will still expand in the form of an organization and continue to exist.

Either, it is impossible to negotiate a program that everyone can accept, but there is a consensus on some issues, then it is a partial split within the Mexican Party, and the other alliances organize to form a party, forming a loose alliance that does not govern each other but can be negotiated on some issues.

Obviously, there is nothing possible to achieve the first one, so there is only the second way to go.

As I said back then, this is nothing more than a cram school. Theories fermented internally and diverged, and the organizational forms grew and learned from each other externally. After the events on December 24, we learned the boundaries between compromise and struggle. The rest are all the teams in each station and each walks their own path.

Insiders have realized how ridiculous their once saying “for everyone to live better” is, and they can only choose to make some of them live better, just by looking at where they stand.

Chen Jian just sighed at this proposal, and after thinking about it, he finally expressed his support. It might be a good thing. After all, everyone still has a common goal in many places.

These people gather together based on the most basic sympathy, morality, and human kindness in the vulgar sense.

When forced together, the political program is either from the bourgeoisie or from the utopian school of small handicrafts, which is determined by the reality.

After separation, their respective boundaries can be expanded and more marginal people who were unable to join under the joint organization.

After confirming this proposal, Chen Jian left Mincheng and returned to Nan'an.

He still has many tasks assigned. Since Nan'an is his base camp and the gathering place for the few mine owners who first expressed their petition, Chen Jian needs to go back and organize production as soon as possible to fulfill his original promise.

We also need to place the employer association there, establish and improve the organization because the number of people suddenly increases, and place the employees after the canal is built, etc.

In addition to business, there are also a lot of private affairs.

The canal, the reshuffle of the coal industry, joined forces with some mine owners to squeeze through other mine owners, so as to extend their hands to the coal mining industry; the counterattack of the cotton textile industry destroyed the cotton spinning guild in Mincheng; the development and improvement of new manual machines in the textile industry; the road to the oil seedling mining area; the establishment of simple refining workshops, etc.

All of this must be completed within half a year or laid a solid foundation. Once the expanded meeting is completed in July, you must go overseas within one year to rush to see a broader world before some vegetarian unemployment waves.

If Fujian City wants to become the source of bourgeois revolution, its qualifications are not enough now.

It is not only the source of the bourgeois revolution, but also the source of democracy, freedom, equality, universal love, economics, joint-stock companies, trade unions, shipping and insurance industries, etc.

The internal thinking has begun to be prepared, and new handicraft machines are being made, but the external environment is still insufficient.
