The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

"Revolutionaries believe that only people's practice is the criterion for the truth of people's understanding of the outside world. The actual situation is that only when people achieve the results they have envisioned in their minds in the process of social practice, can their understanding be confirmed.

If people want to succeed in their work, that is, to get the expected results, they must make their thoughts conform to the laws of the objective external world. If they do not, they will fail in practice. After people fail, they also learn lessons from their failures.

By correcting one's own thoughts to adapt to the laws of the outside world, people can turn failure into victory. The so-called "failure is the mother of success" and "every failure makes one wiser" are just this truth. "Marx and Engels said to the self-defense army who participated in the revolutionary party's practical activities for the first time.

"Mr. Maan, your teachings are always so amazing from the bottom of our hearts. So, where do we start our activities? When I was in the navy, I didn't learn any efficient methods to deal with prisoners." Long asked.

"That's no problem. Our comrades will help you adapt. Everything needs practice to become familiar. Everyone must remember that the main purpose of this operation is to educate the captured navy and make them understand the philosophy of our revolutionary party and the Red Flag Army.

Therefore, we must take care of the prisoners' emotions in all our work and never oppress, beat or scold them. In short, we want to let the navy know that we are not monsters, but ordinary people like them.

Our cause is not to destroy the world, but to give more people a better tomorrow. "Marx and Engels gave advice. Afterwards, all the former members of the Yongjun joined the revolutionaries in their actions against the prisoners.

This included all actions in education, grievance meetings, and personal investigations. Even Long was no exception. Even though he was the former leader of the Brave Army, he covered his face and became an ordinary instructor.

During these activities, all members of the Self-Defense Force lived and ate with the naval prisoners. Rather than educating the naval soldiers, it would be better to say that they were influenced by the revolutionaries together with the marines. Their world outlook, values ​​and outlook on life were also being reshaped together with these marines.

During the education course, many members of the Self-Defense Force also received systematic education for the first time together with ordinary marines. During the grievance meeting, many members of the Self-Defense Force also felt sad together with the marines who were complaining. When investigating the personal situations of ordinary marines, they also found that their situations were no different from those of the marines.

This mutual progress also led to a very deep friendship between the two sides. Long was no longer the son of a naval hero, nor was he the leader of the Self-Defense Force. As an ordinary instructor, he also established friendships with many ordinary marines.

Ivankov was no longer the king of the Man-Shemale Country, nor was he a cadre of the Self-Yun Army. Although his appearance often made ordinary navy officers hesitate at first, they still established a deep friendship.

With his past experience as a slave, Ivankov has a deep empathy for the sufferings of ordinary people. This empathy also enables him to quickly establish friendly connections with the lower-level marines.

When the revolutionary party's education was over and the time of separation was approaching, the self-soldiers had realized that they were not enemies. In the process of getting along, they had deeply understood the class theory advocated by the revolutionary party.

"It turns out that we are all members of the same class who are oppressed. We are all members of the proletariat. The chaos and contradictions of the sea cannot be explained simply by the personal likes and dislikes of the nobles. Class struggle is the root of everything," Ivankov sighed.

As a slave of the Celestial Dragons, he had never analyzed the reasons so deeply. But now he knew that the Celestial Dragons were just a manifestation of the chaos in the world, and the root of the problem was actually this cannibalistic society.

Although Ivankov often criticized slavery and advocated the idea of ​​emancipating slaves in the Self-Defense Forces, he never really understood the essence of this matter. Even in his daily actions, Ivankov rarely talked about his experience of being a slave.

In fact, even Big Bear and Ginny kept their experiences of being slaves secret before joining the Revolutionary Party. This is a problem caused by the entire society, and without a vision that transcends this era, no one can escape this limitation.

Even Fisher Tiger, the future slave liberator of the One Piece world, could not escape this limitation and hid his experience of being a slave in the deepest part of his heart.

However, thanks to the revolutionaries' accurate analysis with a vision that was hundreds and thousands of years ahead of the world, people like Big Bear and Ivankov let go of the last grudges in their hearts and could face their past as slaves calmly.

"I was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons, and only escaped from the cage and regained my freedom during the Battle of God Valley. So, don't hesitate, and don't despair of this world.

I believe that in the future our revolutionary party will be able to solve all these problems." Ivankov can now speak openly about his past experiences.

"Mr. Ivankov, I didn't expect you to have such a past." Not only the naval prisoners, but even some of his former comrades in the Self-Defense Forces showed surprised expressions.

"I joined the revolutionary party so that no one would become a slave like me in the future." Ivankov proudly declared his goal, and most of the captured sailors fell into deep thought.

Is it that the navy cannot empathize? Of course not. In the final analysis, Ivankov's experience is just a microcosm of this era. The threat of pirates, the oppression of the nobles, all of this, in the final analysis, is class oppression.

At least navy officers like T. Penn have begun to think about the significance of establishing a navy. Why are there so many pirates in the world? This is the answer that the World Government has always avoided. But in this prisoner-of-war camp, all the marines have been able to think about their own answers independently.

"The ones who are wrong are not those who are struggling to survive under the pressure of reality, but those nobles, those who rely on force to oppress others.

The biggest mistake is that the high-ranking Celestial Dragons are the creators of the current world order and the world government. "Even T Pengen, who was once a member of the aristocracy, came to his own answer.

In the end, when the revolutionaries announced the next plan for the naval prisoners, all the marines felt reluctant.

"It turns out that I can survive as an upright person. It turns out that the fault is not mine, but this whole cannibalistic society." When the first Marine made his choice, he had already identified himself in his heart as a member of the proletariat.

The final outcome was beyond the revolutionaries' expectations. Even the confident Marx and Engels did not expect that the revolutionaries' prisoner policy would have such a great impact on the navy.

"Mr. Marn, nearly half of the navy are willing to join our revolutionary party immediately. Among the remaining people, a considerable number of them have expressed their desire to bring their families to settle in the West Sea, and then join our Red Banner Army." Ivankov said excitedly.

Even the meticulous Long smiled. Speaking of which, many of these people have already established friendships with the grassroots cadres of the revolutionary party who are doing work. It is indeed exciting enough to have friends join the same cause as oneself.

"Get ready to meet our new comrades."
