The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Ma En questioned the party members in the audience, and the whole meeting room fell silent. After a long while, Ma En continued, "In order to let everyone think deeply about the questions I raised, I also found an acquaintance, let him talk about his ideas."

Then, under the protection of two Red Flag Army officers and soldiers, a man with a black cloth covering his head was brought to the podium. At Ma En's signal, his hood was taken off by the soldier on his left.

After seeing who was coming, the audience was in an uproar, especially Qie, whose face was extremely ugly. It turned out that this acquaintance was the highest-ranking member of the Revolutionary Party who was captured in this operation.

In the eyes of many party members in the audience, the man on the stage had a pale face, his chin trembled slightly, and his teeth chattered loudly. The climate in Xihai was always warm, but he seemed to be in a different climate from the people in the audience, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Ma En was sitting down at this time, "Please speak."

Ma En's words seemed like a signal, which made the people on the stage react. Then, he began to narrate himself.

“…Because I was injured in the revolutionary war on Roland Island, it was inconvenient for me to continue working in the army, so I was later transferred to the economic construction department. After that, I felt the magic of power for the first time, and from then on, I couldn’t stop.

...We started out as a smuggling business, but later on, I was not satisfied because it was too slow to make money this way. So, the merchants taught me other ways, and I started to embezzle government property directly. It is said that officials from the World Government all do this.

...Later, they were not satisfied and wanted to get their hands inside the party, so they came to me. I had no choice, I was already on their boat and had the leverage over me, so in the end, I chose to betray.

... I don't need to beg for mercy. What's the value of dying? I was wrong. No matter how the party treats me, I will accept it. Only by doing this can I educate the whole party. Pain, extreme pain! It's too late to say anything else now. I can only accept this bloody lesson!"

After he finished his self-statement, he was hooded and taken away from the venue. Ma En then walked up to the podium and said, "I can also tell you about his treatment plan. The death penalty and execution.

I will not hide it from my comrades. I arrested him as an example. Because only in this way can we educate the whole party and educate the party cadres. From now on, it will be useful in history. "

Ma En's words sounded a wake-up call to all the cadres present. But he was not finished yet. Ma En continued, "Back to the question I mentioned. Do you have any new ideas?"

When Ma En asked the question again, the audience was completely silent. "Since none of you are going to say anything, I will do it," Ma En said simply.

"Back to the first question, why do we need a revolutionary party? Because wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. There are enemies in the world who oppress the people, and the people want to overthrow the oppression of the enemies, so there must be a revolutionary party.

As far as the world government, the enemy we are fighting against, is concerned, we need a revolutionary party that believes in communism. Without such a revolutionary party, it is simply impossible for the people to overthrow the oppression of the enemy.

We are a revolutionary party. We want to lead the people to defeat the enemy. Our ranks must be in good order, our steps must be consistent, our soldiers must be elite, and our weapons must be good. If these conditions are not met, then the enemy will not be defeated by us. "At this point, Marx and Engels paused, and the people in the audience also fell into thought.

Seeing this, Marx and Engels also struck while the iron was hot and continued, "So, what problems does our party still have? I would say that there are still problems, and in a sense, the problems are quite serious.

Mainly speaking, it is a problem of work style. This is a headwind, a perverse wind, running from the other side of the sea. It is not good that there is still such a wind in our party. War cannot make us surrender, so this perverse wind of hedonism, bureaucracy and individualism cannot make us surrender either.

Therefore, the next task of the Party is to stop this unhealthy trend, and the whole Party must participate in this work. Although it is not yet dominant in the Party, it is still causing trouble, attacking us, and corrupting our cadres. Therefore, it is necessary to resist it, and to study, analyze and explain it.

The voices of Marx and Engels resounded heavily in the hearts of the participants. To be honest, a considerable number of them had been shaken to varying degrees in the course of the revolution.

Many cadres in charge of supplies in the rear, looking at the huge amounts of supplies they handle every day, dare not pat their chests and say that they have never had any bad thoughts.

Marx and Engels went on to say, “The fight against hedonism, bureaucracy and individualism should arouse the attention of our leading bodies at all levels. They are not only a big problem at present, but will also be a big problem for a very long time.

In terms of its social roots, this is a problem in which the remnants of the reactionary ruling class's reactionary style of dealing with the people are reflected within our party and government. In terms of the leadership tasks and methods of our party and government organizations, this is a problem in which the explanation of work tasks is not linked to the explanation of policy boundaries and work style.

This is because among our high-level staff in prefecture-level and above institutions, there still exists a kind of bureaucracy, hedonism, and individualism that does not understand and cares about the suffering of the people, and does not understand and cares about the situation of grassroots organizations. We have not yet launched a struggle against this and have not yet eliminated it.

In the face of these problems, if our leadership tasks are strengthened and our leadership methods are improved, the ideologies that harm the masses can be gradually reduced, and many of our party and government organizations can be away from the style of the world government earlier. The many bad people mixed in our party and government organizations can be eliminated earlier, and many bad things that currently exist can be eliminated earlier. "

Marx and Engels pointed out the problems in the revolutionary ranks incisively and accurately, and many people in the audience could not help but lower their heads.

Seeing this, Marx and Engels knew that the purpose of the attack had been achieved, and then they continued, "So, comrades present here, in conjunction with the rectification and building of the party and other work, start with handling letters from the people, check the situation of bureaucracy, hedonism and individualism, and wage a resolute struggle against them.

Party committees at all levels should be determined to punish and expel from party and government organizations those who violate laws and discipline and are hated by the masses. The most serious offenders should be sentenced to death to appease public anger and educate cadres and the masses.

Finally, when the extensive struggle against bad people and bad deeds has reached an appropriate stage, typical good people and good deeds in various places should be investigated, analyzed and praised, so that the whole Party can emulate these good examples.

This work cannot be done by simply beating people up indiscriminately. We must not be reckless in dealing with ideological and political problems. The correct and effective approach is to promote positive energy and suppress negative energy."
