    In the early morning of January 26, 1878, there was already a huge crowd on Nevsky Prospekt in Petersburg.  This avenue, which can accommodate 8 horses and carriages in parallel, is the main thoroughfare of Petersburg designed by Peter the Great himself. There are many famous buildings along the way, such as the Admiralty Building, Stroganov Palace, Kazan Cathedral, Yeka  The Monument to Telina II, and of course the Petersburg Square complex including Palace Square, Navy Square and the recently renamed Uprising Square.  A few months ago, the people of Petersburg marched to the Winter Palace along this street, overthrowing the reactionary rule of the Romanov dynasty and setting off the prelude to the most glorious proletarian revolution in Russian history.  Today, almost the same group of people have gathered again, but this time they have become enemies of the revolution. They are destined to be beaten black and blue by the proletarian iron fist of the Popular Democratic Party, and some of them will lose their lives.  ¡°These supporters of the socialist parties and socialist-revolutionary parties who have become class enemies are still ignorant of their inevitable tragic fate.  Still hoarse~no~wrong~small~say~~quledu~ shouting reactionary slogans at the top of his lungs.  "Long live the Russian people!" "Long live socialist democracy!" "Down with the People's Enemy, the Volya Volya!" "Down with the dictator Nechayev!" When these counter-revolutionary masses shouting reactionary slogans entered the not-so-wide Winter Palace Square  , I saw that a large number of counter-revolutionary fighters wearing gray military uniforms and red armbands had gathered in front of the Alexander Stone Pillar.  Every anti-revolutionary soldier had a rifle with a sharp bayonet in his hand, and some set up machine guns, pointing their black muzzles directly at the marchers.  The political commissars with livid faces all stood in front of the counter-revolutionary fighters under their control.  While waving the pistol vigorously.  While encouraging loudly.  "Comrades, the future of the Russian motherland lies in your hands. Do you want the Socialist Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Party to bring you a weak Russia that can be bullied by others? Or do you want the Volya Volya to bring you a powerful Russia that will make all enemies tremble?  The trembling socialist Russian motherland? "We want a strong motherland!" the anti-revolutionary fighters said in unison.  "Long live the Volya Volya Party!" "Long live Nechayev!" At this moment, the inside and outside of the Winter Palace Square seemed to be drowned by the earth-shattering slogans.  In the square, the counter-revolutionary fighters of the Popular People's Party were shouting - in the name of the motherland and revolution.  Outside the square, supporters of the Socialist Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Party were shouting - in the name of democracy and the people.  In the south of the square, the former Russian Imperial General Staff Building is arranged in a bow shape.  On the platform at the top of the famous double triumphal arch of the current All-Russian Commissariat for Suppression of Counterrevolutionary Affairs building.  Nechayev, chairman of the Russian People's Opinion Party, was crossing his arms and looking at the crowd confronting each other inside and outside the square with gloomy eyes.  "Comrade Nechayev, do you understand what you are doing?"  Someone was asking questions in German.  Nechayev looked back and saw Marx, the chairman of the International Workers' Association.  Revolutionary mentor Marx arrived from Warsaw a week ago with the purpose of persuading the Socialist Party, Socialist Revolutionary Party and Narodnaya Volya Party to abandon the referendum that will start in February and at the same time adopt a republican constitution to turn Russia into a people's republic.  But he never imagined that Nechayev and the People's Democratic Party would use violence to achieve the instructions of the "International Workers' Association"!  "Comrade Marx, do you know the biggest failure of the Polish and British revolutions?"  Nechayev asked indifferently, and then did not wait for Marx to answer.  He asked himself and answered the question, "The biggest failure of the Polish Revolution and the British Revolution was democracy. It was that there was no strong revolutionary vanguard to lead the country. The two events of William I becoming King of the Republic of Poland and William V becoming King of England have proven  Engels's line will not work Although Comrade Engels was a very outstanding economist, he knew how to keep a country's economy in a virtuous cycle and sustaining growth as much as possible, and he knew how to improve the living standards of most people.  Significant improvement But he didn¡¯t know how to build a strong socialist country. What he built was a socialist country where the people were prosperous but the country was weak. If it was not attached to the powerful German Empire, socialist Britain and socialist Poland.  Our survival will be in question! Comrade Marx, do you think that such a weak socialist country, which cannot even protect its own safety, can undertake the arduous task of liberating all mankind and overthrowing capitalism?¡±  Marx¡¯s eyes were deep and he said nothing.  He has always been a strong supporter of Engels' line.  Because Engels was quite consistent with him to a certain extent, such as planned economy, restricting capital, implementing democracy, protecting the interests of workers and peasants, realizing a welfare society, etc.  Such a route has indeed achieved good results in Poland's practice. Before the war, Poland was already one of Europe's most powerful countries.?One of the enviable wealthy small countries, the people's living standards have increased several times compared with before the revolution.  Moreover, the political power is firmly in the hands of the people - Polish democracy is a democracy that limits the participation of capital. Therefore, in the 10 years before the war, the political power rotated between the two socialist parties, the Socialist Party and the Social Democratic Party, and the implementation of socialism was  Multiple parties take turns in power.  The political power has always been under the effective supervision of the people, so it has always remained clean and efficient.  But such an "ideal society" also has a fatal weakness - politics is dominated by votes, and votes are dominated by welfare. In order to win the support of the people, politicians will try their best to benefit the people This is actually the idea of ??the great teachers of socialism.  Engels's success won him and Marx, who proposed these lines of ideas, great reputation.  However, the problem also arises, that is, the distribution of the entire society is heavily tilted towards the people, especially ordinary workers. The share taken by the government and capital (mainly state capital) is too small, and there is not enough financial resources to build a strong society.  socialist country.  Although the Polish people were very enthusiastic when the war with Russia broke out and organized a large number of troops, they were quickly defeated by Russia because they did not have strong national support. In the end, they could only pray for Germany's asylum and formed an alliance with Germany.  Alliance of Shared Monarchs - The emergence of the Alliance of Shared Monarchs between Poland and Germany, in the eyes of Nechayev and other radical socialists, is the bankruptcy of Engels' line!  A socialist country with a prosperous people and a weak country cannot survive in this world with many imperialist powers.  And a socialist country that relies on imperialist protection is not true socialism!  "Comrade Nechayev, I understand your thinking, but can't we use a more moderate method to convince the Russian people? Why is it necessary to use machine guns and rifles?" Marx shook his head.  "Those people are just people who don't know the truth after all!" "Don't know the truth?" Nechayev smiled and pointed at the counter-revolutionary fighters with guns and ammunition under the Alexander Column, "They are the people who don't know the truth! And those who oppose me  all know the truth! The truth is that our People's Democratic Party wants to be dictatorial and firmly hold all power in its hands, because only in this way can we concentrate the human, material and financial resources of Russia on socialist industrial construction.  Only when the country is strong can it undertake the lofty mission of liberating mankind. And the Russian people must make their greatest contribution to the strength of the country and the world revolution! They cannot be like Polish and British workers.  , and fully enjoy the fruits of their labor." Having said this, it is already clear-this is probably the consistent style of Nechayev who wrote "The Catechism of Revolutionaries"?  He didn't bother to hide it in front of the great teacher, and in fact he couldn't hide it.  "Comrade Chairman, the counter-revolutionary fighters are ready to attack the enemy at any time!" A young revolutionary wearing a gray military coat quickly walked up to the double triumphal arch and loudly asked Nechayev for instructions.  "Let's do it!" Nechayev did not hesitate at all, and gave the order to suppress with a wave of his hand.  Not just on Nevsky Prospekt, but all over Petersburg and Moscow hundreds of kilometers away at the same time!  At this time, more and more people gathered on Nevsky Prospekt, almost forming a torrent, and began to surge towards the Winter Palace Square.  Because most of the leaders of the Socialist Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Party were arrested at the Tafrida Palace, and the headquarters and branches of the two parties in Petersburg were also sealed by the counter-revolutionary fighters, today's protest march was not well organized.  The crowd was mostly organized spontaneously, with only a few minions from the Socialist Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Party on hand to agitate.  Even if they see bad signs, these people are unable to direct the masses to evacuate as soon as possible.  The people walking at the front were even pushed by the inertia of the procession towards the bright bayonets in the hands of the counter-revolutionary fighters.  Just as the surging crowd was getting closer and closer, Plekhanov, the deputy political commissar of the All-Russian Suppression Committee troops who was in command at the Winter Palace, had received the final instructions from Nechayev.  "Fire!" He waved his hand violently.  Twenty-eight machine guns that had been ready roared at the same time, and twenty-eight tongues of fire almost formed a dense fire net, covering all the crowded marchers.  There was a clang of copper and bullet casings flying.  Twenty-eight streams of fire, like the scythe of the god of death, harvested the crowd of reactionaries who were so dense that they couldn't be any denser!  The blood mist is no longer spraying out in clusters, but in clusters, spreading like a gush.  Looking down from the double triumphal arch where Nechayev and Marx were, I could see the crowds of people wearing shabby clothes and holding red flags falling down in rows indiscriminately on Nevsky Prospekt.  In addition to the blood and light, it is the light of fire.  But both of them know that today¡¯s sacrifice is the key to the prosperity of socialism.The price that must be paid for the birth of the country!  (To be continued) Chapter 1519 The Beginning of a Powerful Socialist Country:
