3125 Origins of the working class
The Franco-Prussian War must be mixed, because Xiao Letian knew that France would be defeated in this war. How happy it would be to follow Prussia to pull the French wool!
Moreover, the compensation after the Franco-Prussian War was also a fortune. The fortress plan for Qing Dynasty was launched later, and the initial start-up capital was based on this compensation!
Moreover, through this war, we can establish good diplomatic relations with Germany, a future European power. The Chinese people's pursuit of the world really needs such an ally to lead the way.
Also, we have trained troops, let our officers feel what the war in the new era looks like, and make this rare cross-age war a whetstone for the Chinese officers' regiment.
The Franco-Prussian War is a springboard, and using this war to enhance the international influence of the Chinese people has been approved by most people within the Chinese people.
At present, the Chinese people have much less opposition to this war, but with the end of the war, new problems have come again, so is it necessary for the Chinese people to mix in this siege war?
In particular, the head of state seemed to have invested too much attention to the Paris commune, which had nothing to do with it!
It's just a rebellious organization within France. Why are the heads of state worried when it comes to this? And they are a little too concerned.
These people don’t understand Xiao Letian’s painstaking efforts, because they don’t realize what those people in the Paris Commune represent!
That is the largest volcano in the future society of mankind and the biggest conflict point in all countries!
The Paris Commune was the first attempt of the human proletarian movement and the first cry of the workers' movement. It opened a new era and made the world understand that the fundamental contradictions in human society have changed!
Before the Paris Commune, it was an era of enlightenment and development of capitalism. At that time, the main contradiction within European countries was the contradiction between the feudal system and the capital system.
The kings and capitalists were killed around. The feudal lords represented by the kings joined forces with religious forces to strangle capitalist forces, with the purpose of fighting for power and wealth!
The ultimate victory of hundreds of years of conflict was capitalism. The monarchy and religious rights of all countries were defeated. Capitalism has become dominant and has reached the point where the king and the pope dare not do whatever they want.
The capitalist forces were bullied and oppressed at the beginning and finally turned over, but the capital forces behind the turn over were not good men and women, and then social conflicts changed.
The bearded men in London had long discovered these subtle changes in society. The current European contradictions are shifting. The contradiction between capitalists and the working class has gradually replaced the original social contradictions and is becoming more and more intense!
Some people may ask, where did the king go? Where did the feudal lords and religious forces go?
The answer is simple. They have begun to unite with capitalists and they have begun to merge!
Since I can't beat it, I will become you! Isn't it just capital investment and then make a fortune together? It's okay for the king, the nobles, and even the church has countless real estate to invest in!
So in this era, the Queen's industry can be invested in business, and the Duke of Newcastle can also join forces with other nobles to do high-end food business with Xiao Lotte.
Is Xianzhiyuan a good project to make money? Come on, invest with our nobles, and we will attract a few more bankers!
In other words, at the end of the 19th century, it was no longer clear who was a noble and who was a capitalist, and they were one themselves!
Capitalism has finally completely controlled the entire Western society, so this absolute rights group will also be able to dominate people, and the main body they exploit is the proletariat, and the representative of which is the working class!
Capitalists are profit-seeking, they do not do good in business, and their suppression of workers during the Industrial Revolution was extremely cruel!
The lowest salary, the most dangerous working environment, the long working hours, no work injury insurance!
In the eyes of capitalists, all the workers in the factory are actually coal in the boiler, burned into cinders and then discarded!
Contradictions are not accumulated in one or two days, but decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation. But why was there no large-scale workers' movement before the Paris Commune?
After all, this is in the development of science and technology and in the improvement of productivity!
Before the Paris Commune, Europe's industrialization level was not very high, and the power of the earliest working class was also very weak, because there were few people!
The workers were also oppressed at that time, but because the number of people was too small, even if they wanted to protest, they would not have the strength!
Hundreds and thousands of people want to go out to the streets to protest? They want to arm the riot? The police in the city can suppress them all!
Only when the industrial revolution develops deeper, only when the technological development can produce large factories, large industrial areas, and then tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of workers gather together!
At this time, the quantitative change will undergo a qualitative change!
There are many people and many people, and there are many people and great power!
The loose working group has finally become a working class, and at this time their ability to resist oppression will become greater and greater. At least tens of thousands of people can be organized on the streets!
The police can no longer suppress it, so they have to go to the army, and the more suppressed the army, the stronger the resistance!
More importantly, these workers still have votes in their hands, so there will naturally be politicians who will approach them and provide some theoretical guidance!
Why did the Emperor deprive Blankey and others of their right to vote? Why did he characterize them as criminals from the beginning?
Because the Emperor knew very well that Blangji and the others controlled hundreds of thousands or even millions of votes!
This is an unsolvable problem!
Human society has finally entered a new stage of contradictions and conflicts, that is, the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, that is, the bloody battle between capitalists and the working class!
In Xiao Letian's eyes, this contradiction is temporarily unsolvable, and no one can adjust this contradiction, even God cannot do it!
Moreover, Xiao Letian understood that this contradiction will soon be transmitted to the Chinese people, because if you want to industrialize, the working class will definitely be born!
This is a product of contradiction that accompanies the industrial revolution, and no one can avoid it!
Xiao Letian hope that the children who came to Europe with him would see this cruel revolution with their own eyes and think about the cause and effect relationship!
Let them know that Paris is the future Naha, Shanghai, and Beijing!
Face this contradiction and conflict and use the efforts of several generations to resolve this contradiction and conflict!
"Don't take it lightly. Everything that happened in Paris today will happen next to us tomorrow! How to solve it?"
"You must not treat the people in the commune as ordinary thugs. If that is the case, it will be very superficial!"
