Vol 3 Chapter 1446: Go to the theater
Dobrolyubov was immediately speechless. It is an indisputable fact that the power of the Russian revolution is far less than the power of totalitarian rule.
The fact that no one can avoid is that currently no one and no force can shake the rule of the Tsar.
Even those who advocate freedom the most have to admit that grabbing jobs and power now is tantamount to courting death.
Under such circumstances, a direct conflict with the Tsarist authorities is undoubtedly the most foolish choice. Even though there are strong calls for reform now, in the final analysis it is reform rather than revolution.
And people like Dobrolyubov or Chernyshevsky probably want revolution rather than reform. This led to great differences between them and Duke Vorontsov.
In fact, Li Xiao was surprised before. He really did not expect that Duke Vorontsov and Grand Duchess Irina would nominate Dobrolyubov and Chernyshevsky to attend the meeting. Because the two sides are not on the same path at all, why are you a bunch of conservative rightists preparing to win over the radical leftists?
Seeing how they were arguing at the beginning, Li Xiao felt that the subsequent meeting might be difficult. Because the differences between the two sides are so huge that it is impossible to bridge them. How can we talk about this?
Sure enough, Chernyshevsky immediately stood up: "Then we need to win more support, especially to try to awaken the people. Only if more and more people recognize our path can we continue on this path... If We are afraid of this and that, why should we change, we can just accept the servitude of the authorities!"
Prince Vorontsov was so rebuffed that he was a bit bragging about his beard and staring.
But Chernyshevsky was right when he said that revolution is not a dinner party. No revolution is bloodless. If it is, it is a fake revolution.
Revolution is about seizing class power and one class destroying another class. Without strong means, the will to persevere to the end, and the determination not to be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, there is no need to talk about it.
For Duke Vorontsov and others, they are actually trying to reconcile, trying to ease class conflicts without intending to make fundamental changes. Naturally, they are very reluctant to see bloodshed and sacrifice.
As far as Li Xiao is concerned, he definitely appreciates Chernyshevsky more. Russia cannot be reborn without a thorough revolution.
Later, the reason why Russia became the second largest country in the world for a time, forcing the US imperialism to scramble, to be honest, the October Revolution was indispensable, but it was just a continuation of the minor repairs of the Tsarist era, or the tricks of the Mensheviks. Russia could not be that big. improvement.
If you look at Russia's various struggles in the post-Soviet era, has it gotten better after going back to its old ways?
It's just that Li Xiao's **** is sitting on the side of Duke Vorontsov and other vested interest groups.
If you do a thorough renaming of the song, wouldn’t you be ruining your own job?
How difficult was it for him to get to where he is now? I can't live with myself when I get nervous.
Therefore, he was also a conciliator. He would only show high respect to Chernyshevsky and others, but he was insensitive to their line.
Of course, this does not mean that he will stand up and speak for Duke Vorontsov. First, there is no need, and second, he has no interest.
After all, there are very few people like Chernyshevsky and Dobrolyubov in Russia today. No matter how loud they shout, it will be of no use. Russia will still be conservative if it should be conservative. If you don’t see it, Alexander II will start reforming. Not long after the prologue, Chernyshevsky was sent to Siberia to repair the earth.
Since they were already miserable, there was no need to add salt to their wounds. What's more, a meeting like today's will definitely be recorded in history. It will not be difficult for future generations to find everyone's speeches and opinions when they open the memoirs of the participants.
After all, Chernyshevsky represents the direction of progress. Even if you win a verbal battle with him, you will be cast aside by future generations. Why bother to scold yourself?
As for the reason for lack of interest, it is even simpler. Look at the dozen or so people who participated in the meeting. Apart from the two extreme leftists Chernyshevsky and Dobrolyubov, are there any other radicals?
Their voices are not loud to begin with. There is a large group of conservative right-wingers who are eagerly rolling up their sleeves to prepare for the pK. There is only one more Li Xiao, so why bother?
Sure enough, as Chernyshevsky spoke up, the right wing became angry and everyone surrounded him, making everyone spit.
"You don't seem to agree with Prince Vorontsov's statement?" Grand Duchess Irina suddenly asked in a low voice.
Li Xiao was stunned and quickly replied: "No way, the Duke is right. The most important thing at the moment is to seize power. Without administrative power, we can't do anything!"
Grand Duchess Irina smiled, waved her hand and said: "Andreka, don't lie to me. Your expression has already shown your attitude. You just don't agree with Duke Vorontsov's speech. Why do you agree to proceed?" More radical reforms?”
Li Xiao curled his lips and said: "No! I don't agree! I don't want everything to be gone when I wake up. Looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com I'm not that generous and selfless!"
Grand Duchess Elena smiled: "But why do I think you think Chernyshevsky is reasonable?"
Li Xiao sighed and said: "Because what he said does make sense! No country can permanently maintain a state where only a small number of people live a happy life while the majority of people are hungry and cold. This is wrong. The direction of future development More people should live a prosperous life. Anyway, I would rather see this happen!"
He glanced at Grand Duchess Irina, and when she saw that she had no objection, he continued: "In the final analysis, the reforms we are carrying out can only ease the contradictions, but they cannot solve them. In the long run, the people's education level will become increasingly better." Gao, sooner or later one day they will feel that they can only make ends meet with hard work, and it is abnormal for some people to be popular and drink spicy food without doing anything throughout their lives. At that time they will explode! "
As he spoke, he chuckled and said, "Have you not seen the power of the French Revolution? If we don't want something similar to happen in Russia, we can only gradually give benefits to the people. If not, I'm afraid we won't be particularly far away from the Great Revolution." !”
Grand Duchess Elena nodded: "You are very sober, forcing many people around us to be much more sober. What is sad is that even some of us cannot understand this truth. For them, the less reforms, the better. , have no idea how close we are to danger!”
Li Xiao tilted his head and asked, "So you won't participate in this siege?"
Grand Duchess Elena covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course not, I have no interest in embarrassing two young people. Anyway, there are already enough people who are dissatisfied with them. One more of me is not too much, right?"
