From Chief to Ball

"This also determines that even if we have activities there and sow seeds, the participants are still subjectively good people with the world in mind, and then we can only mobilize the vast number of farmers who think that the tiller has his own land. How to go next is up to us. It is already difficult to influence, but it is certain that the road that Mincheng is going to take now will definitely not work there. This is the power of tradition and the great power of traditional culture, and there is never a shortage of people with the world in mind.”

"The road ahead depends on their own hands to liberate themselves. We don't need to worry about it, and we have to believe that they will blaze a trail of their own that leads to the same goal."

"In the Great Deserted City, you can directly skip these two steps and go directly to the next step. Now we are doing it. On the one hand, the slavery city-state has no power in our eyes. On the other hand, there is enough land there, and collective cooperation can achieve the goal of reclamation. To the limit, some new animal-powered farm tools can be used, and they can be combined to build water conservancy."

"From a fair point of view, this is a process of treating the symptoms and treating the root cause, just like those extremely bitter medicines you take when you have a headache."

"From a productivity standpoint, this is a process that can expand the sum of national labor wealth, which is obvious."

"Since fairness and productivity, the two values ​​that we've held since we split from the Progressive League, are both correct in terms of whether our party is doing right, I would say it's the right thing to do. of."

"From a practical point of view, is it easier for farmers to organize? Or is it easier for hired workers to organize? Is it easier for farmers to organize together to maintain fairness? Or is it easier for hired workers to organize together to fight for interests?"

"It should be noted that this kind of social progress is not forced by us, but happens naturally. Without us, wouldn't it happen?"

"That's not the case, we are just escorting this progress, making this progress faster."

"Our support for this kind of progress does not mean that we support the various injustices of the new social form after progress. On the contrary, we have been deliberately trying to eliminate them from the very beginning. Destroy with a ten-year sword."

"If we don't support it, then this progress to a certain extent may lead to a deflection, just as the advocates of the guild patriarchal system want-stand still, rebuild morality and tradition, rely on kindness , conscience, and morality, the ten-year sword, removes injustice."

"Then, obviously, the landlords in the stories told by Comrade Hailang will always exist, reincarnate, and tragic stories will still happen. Maybe the villain in the story will be the descendant of one of us. "

"We can even know that in the next society, compared with the previous ones, in addition to the improvement in productivity, things like cannibalism and injustice just continue in a different way, and there are even more reasonable and legal choices—you In the city, if you have money and capital, you can sleep with the most beautiful women in the city, instead of sleeping with tenants like in the countryside, and it sounds a little less angry than that story."

"However, we also know that if we want to go further down and get rid of the symptoms and root causes, we must go to the next step."

"One, two, three, our future is three, so we are forced to escort two to prevent falling back to one. However, we must remember that we are not for two, but for the three behind two."

"If you have to give a definition, it is that Mincheng and the countryside outside Mincheng are different."

"The capitalism in Mincheng has revealed its bloody mouth, and the idea of ​​"socialism" in the future produced in Mincheng will naturally be influenced by the idea of ​​"socialism" in the rural areas in the tenancy system based in the city. The taste of 'socialism' in the development of capitalism, so they are afraid that the rural areas will enter the capitalist road of Mincheng, and want to skip the stage of capitalism directly."

"This kind of thinking is dangerous. It can even be said that some people are 'socialist' subjectively, so they pursue fairness and justice, but objectively, they violate the conditions for achieving 'socialism'. To be more serious, They are very similar to those who try to return to the guild patriarchal system, they are a kind of 'socialist' who are utopian, contrary to reality, subjective but not objective, and petty bourgeois mentality."

"In other words, some people in the cities deeply sympathized with the idea of ​​'socialism' based on the urban factory system, and then transformed it into a reactionary utopian 'socialism' in rural areas where the conditions were completely different. I thought about a question, is the tenancy system in the countryside and the factory division of labor in the city based on the same foundation?"

Having said that, Chen Jian understands why there are so many controversies, factions, and "heresy" in history, and there are so many internal line struggles. Between objective science, sometimes it makes people feel uncomfortable, and it makes some "good people" feel cold, but in the absence of objective material conditions, they have to need subjective socialist "good people" as the basic market. paradox.However, in the face of this period of change, without the urging of "good people", it is easy for the bourgeoisie to show its scary side prematurely, thereby scaring some people to the side of utopianism, reactionary socialism, and even imperialism.

These words were so emphatic that there were bursts of discussions and buzzing below. Chen Jian tried his best to turn this kind of matter into an internal discussion rather than an act of labeling.

Suppressing my emotions, I said as calmly as possible: "I am not judging someone. In fact, this is inevitable, and it is based on the social conditions at this time. Even if this kind of thinking becomes mainstream at this time, I will not No surprise. It is determined by objective conditions."

"However, when five years later, ten years or even longer, but obviously we can live to see it, when the capitalist transformation of the countryside is completed, and when Fujian is full of large factories with various divisions of labor, this kind of thinking is natural. The earth has no basis for existence."

"And all of this, of course, requires us to continuously promote the progress of society and the development of science, so that more people can understand and accept our ideas in reality. When Mincheng is filled with black smoke, It’s when our ideas are widely accepted, and it’s when visionaries spontaneously transform.”

"I believe that everyone who joins has a three-foot sword in their hearts. This is a good thing. So I said at this time that the 'subjective, utopian, and reactionary socialists' are all things we can unite. They The reason for this is only because of objective social conditions."

"I hope that the three-foot sword in the hearts of everyone who joins knows where to cut and how to cut it, and that the three-foot sword in the hearts of millions of people will be condensed into a powerful, thoughtful, and united sword."

"Not beheading people, but beheading the foundation of the existence of 'bad guys', beheading the world, even if there are fishes that slip through the net temporarily, but we believe that one day when the foundation no longer exists, these fishes that slipped through the net will naturally disappear. cease to exist."

"Cut people... the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again. This sword will collapse; this heart will be tired."

Chapter 91 Provoking the City to Fight Landlords

After Chen Jian talked dryly for a long time, the debate on how to take the next step was not so easily resolved.

This is a good thing. It proves that the Mexican party is gradually maturing, and it also proves that internal factions have emerged and more people have begun to think for themselves.

Moreover, it seems that this kind of good thing can continue for a while, and the atmosphere within the party can continue to be maintained. For the time being, it seems that there is not much external pressure, and it is unlikely that it will immediately fall into a time when it is necessary to unite and fight against external pressure.

This debate about the land issue, which was thought to be simple at first, has proved over time that this matter is not simple.

The discussion on this matter lasted for nine days from the sea waves to the end of the discussion and the vote was passed. During this period, there were many debates and scolding. This is the longest discussion on an issue since the establishment of the Mexican Party. It is a full nine days plus many night meetings. .

This debate about the land issue, which was thought to be simple at first, has been proved by the number of votes that this matter is not simple.

Rao is the many "direct descendants" brought up by Chen Jian, who also voted against the vote on the land issue--the first time in the congress of the Mexican Party since the Progressive Alliance split, Chen Jian won with a slight advantage. support.

Among the 410 representatives, more than 80 abstained from voting on the grounds that they still need time to learn and understand; more than 80 people voted against it clearly as the opposition; that is to say, only more than 200 people supported Chen Jian.

Among the more than 200 people, there are about seventy or eighty who really understand, thirty or fifty who are half-understood, thirty or fifty who understand but are emotionally unable to make it through, and a large number of people who don't understand but think that Chen Jian should be right. The last remnants of previous prestige.

In addition to reasoning and theory, Chen Jian had to add some other content that satisfied the emotions of those people, so that he won the sixty or seventy votes that were unwilling but ultimately supported.

For example, when talking about the issue that landlords are immoral but will not be punished under the legal power of the private ownership system and under the premise of abiding by the laws of the Mincheng Council, Chen Jian played a side ball.

For the time being, if we don't use the legal thought of the Mo party system to solve this matter, but use the foundation of the Mo party to solve this matter, that means breaking with the Mincheng council and going it alone.

But Chen Jian told those young people who were dissatisfied: After we used the rent reduction and interest rate cuts to mobilize the tenant farmers and gained a firm foothold, many landlords who committed heinous crimes but did not violate the current law really couldn’t find any problems?

Have all taxes been paid?Is the taxed land registered?Even if there is no tax evasion according to the previous national law?Is tax exemption enough?Is there any suspicion of colluding with old local officials to evade taxes?

No one's buttocks are clean, and when they gain a firm foothold and seek trouble from these issues, many landlords will have to strip their skins even if they don't die.The Mexican party has never said that since then, the past has never been blamed.

Not to say means that you can say it at any time, and it also means that you can not say it at any time.Whether to say or not depends on the specific situation.

If you have a firm foothold in the countryside and have a basic market, then of course you can say that you can pay taxes and interest after you say it. You can’t say that your family is ruined if you add a little bit, but if you don’t have cash, you have to use land mortgage loans to make up the payment Taxes gone.

As for those who are more open-minded, conform to the times, have a good reputation, and are willing to invest in industry and commerce or operate independently, they can naturally turn a blind eye and close one eye at that time, and there will be no problems if they do not investigate. question.

Of course, it will definitely not be checked at this stage.Rent reduction and interest rate reduction is already very troublesome. If the Mexican party does not take the lead, the council in Mincheng can only shout slogans. If there are so many enthusiastic people who go to the countryside, it is likely that they will end up being killed.

The Mexican party came forward to reduce rent and interest by relying on guns, money, tenants and organizational level. While the landlords objected, the Mexican party pretended not to talk about the past, so as not to force them to the point of completely turning their faces.

When this matter is almost done, they will turn their face in a reasonable and legal manner, and investigate the landlord's land tax exemption, tax evasion, non-reporting and other issues, so that they will cry without tears.The grassroots has been organized. It was just lukewarm water before, but now it has become boiling water. If you want to resist, you will be arrested every minute on issues such as "resisting taxes and evading taxes, flouting the laws of the Republic and the power of the Min County Council".

Even so, many people still feel resentful, that justice comes too late, and that justice is not achieved in the name of justice.

But in any case, the final vote passed can be regarded as temporarily overturning this issue, and after the resolution is formed, no matter whether it is opposed or not, it must be supported in this five-year plan.

It is impossible to hold the congress of the whole party every year, especially under the current conditions, once every five years is already the limit.

Generally speaking, this meeting can be regarded as a formal party founding meeting. It was copied according to the principle of democratic centralism, and got twice the result with half the effort, but it was also very immature and it was slowly groping.

For the plan of Mincheng within five years, after half of the votes passed the direction of activities on rural issues, the debate was temporarily put aside and brainstorming began.

Soon, a good plan to draw the citizens of Mincheng to his side was sorted out.

They were taught a lesson by the big bourgeoisie's plan to levy taxes on the countryside to turn the yeoman against the hired laborers in the cities during the last incident of the county reception factory, and they did the opposite.

Since they can stir up rural areas to suppress cities, they can also stir up urban citizens to support land reform.

Under the premise of keeping the amount of national tax payable unchanged, some people in the party proposed to take advantage of this opportunity of reducing rent and interest and re-measurement of land to cancel the mandatory poll tax and add poll tax to land tax and stamp duty .

That is to say, the poll tax for urban handicraft workers and hired workers was lifted. Specifically, most of it was transferred to the countryside and paid by rural land owners.
