Chapter 267: To capture Winston is to capture the new world
class?
This word, which neither Boyne, Verak, nor Keating had ever heard of, aroused great curiosity in them.
"Everyone plays a different role in the social labor organization, and the way and amount of social wealth are controlled differently. In this huge private ownership society, that is, a capitalist society, because the means of production are privately owned, there are
The two major classes - the 'owner class' and the 'non-owner class', can also be called the 'bourgeoisie' and the 'proletariat'." Winston told everyone about his research over the years.
After a while, Boyne, Verak, and Keating looked at each other in confusion. They only half understood Winston's words.
Boyin raised his hand, indicating that he had a question to ask: "Wait a moment, Mr. Winston. Although it would be rude to interrupt you, I'm afraid if I don't get the answer early, the rest of it will become increasingly difficult to understand.
.What specifically do you mean by private ownership society, capitalist society, and means of production?"
Winston realized that what he said was a little complicated, and tried to explain: "A social system based on private ownership of the means of production, and where the bourgeoisie who owns the means of production exploits them by purchasing labor force, is what I call a capitalist society.
.As for the means of production, you can understand them as the means of production, the tools and resources used by workers in production, such as land, factories, equipment, and raw materials."
Keating, who listened attentively, immediately followed Winston's theory and came to the conclusion: "So those workers who do not have the means of production are the proletariat who are opposed to the bourgeoisie."
"Yes." Winston nodded heavily, "In my opinion, the two sides are essentially hostile to each other and have huge conflicts of interest. For example, workers certainly hope to earn more, but capitalists
They would rather keep wages and costs as low as possible.”
"The tools used in mastering production are bourgeois. So if farmers have hoes for farming at home, is this also considered bourgeois?" Verak felt that there was a loophole in Winston's words.
Winston, who had been alone for a long time, smiled and felt happy about the people's inquiries: "That doesn't count. First, I just mentioned the land. Just like Bash's serfs, the land does not belong to them. If there is a hoe in the empty space, it will not be owned by them."
What is the use? Second, farmers use tools to farm and produce grain.
Food is for their own use, but the bourgeoisie is different. Their production is for sales, which has spawned a market for buying and selling labor, using money as a medium of exchange. They also control the production process and financial decisions, and economic behavior is based on
Seeking profit as the goal..."
Winston's theory is more sound and profound than what Chris presented in "The Theory of Equality".
"On Equality" is more about examining and discussing the historical development of equality and inequality, while Winston's book adds logic to it and explains the situation through social relations.
This is more realistic than Chris going back to history and denouncing those things that are unequal.
As they listened, Verak, Boyne, and Keating felt relieved. Their dreams were confirmed. Winston's theories and ideas were more advanced than theirs and were of great help to them.
"Actually, when we came here this time, we came with the biggest question, that is, how should we change it?" After a long exchange, Boyne and others came up with the key after understanding Winston's theory more comprehensively.
After all, how to change is the most important thing.
Both Chris and Winston had the right ideas. They tried to elicit the correct answer by studying the past and present, figuring out the logical relationship. Unfortunately, Chris failed, but what about Winston?
"Wait a moment." Winston stood up and went to the bed to get a notebook.
Chris's "Theory of Equality" was also the first to be written in a notebook.
Boyne took the notebook and opened the first page with Verak and Keating who were sitting on the left and right.
The first page was written in Pulman language, which few people could understand.
"Class theory." Winston explained at the right time, "This is the result of my research in the past few years, which includes a more structured discussion and research on class, as well as criticism and exposure of capitalism, and a vision for a better future.
It seems that you still have some vague understanding of social conjectures and some opinions. I think this book will be of great help to you."
"Lynn, translate it as soon as possible." Boy and the others couldn't understand Pluman, so they handed the notebook to Linn.
"Okay." Lin En, who had no idea what the people said in Welsh, silently accepted the new task given by Boyin.
Boyin looked at the time on his watch. It was already past three o'clock. They had been chatting with Winston for two hours without knowing it: "Mr. Winston, since you originally wanted to go to Brissy to find us, we
This trip is also specifically to invite you to join us, so I now formally invite you to become one of us and fight together for a new world, for equality, for freedom, for beauty, and for unity."
Before the chat, Winston had no clear intention to join. He wanted to go to Bressy, first to see if the group making the most noise today were on the same road as him, and then make plans.
.
Now after some communication, I know that the other party traveled thousands of miles just to find me, I know the other party's development history, the specific plans and purposes of the two major operations, I know the other party's "Equality Theory", and I know that the other party is listening to my theory.
How serious Shi Shi was, knowing that these people really wanted to change the world, everything already had the answer.
"It's an honor to be one of you... Let's work together." Winston's vision was a little blurry.
He has waited for this day for too long.
After all, one person's battle is still too difficult. He knows that he alone cannot write the most comprehensive thing, nor can he test whether his conjectures will work, nor can he let the government and the bourgeoisie show justice to him.
Surrender and admit defeat.
The Equality Society needs Winston, and Winston also needs the Equality Society.
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with several people one by one, and their eager eyes met.
"Welcome." Verak couldn't control his smile and was reluctant to let go of Winston's handshake, for fear that this man with advanced ideas was just an illusion and would cease to exist as soon as he let go. In his opinion, holding on
Winston is about seizing the new world.
"Okay, it's time to take Comrade Winston to our place. After you rest, we will take you back to Bressy, the general battlefield of the revolution." After Winston joined the Equality Association, Boyne suggested returning to their place.
Stand and have a good conversation there.
"Comrade..." Winston murmured, "that's a good word."
The group left the slums and secretly returned to the branch station established by the Equality Society in Pruman.
Linn prepared a room, a change of clothes, and a complete set of daily necessities for Winston. After Winston tidied himself up again, revealing his handsome face despite being down and out, and his upright posture despite being worn out.
, dinner was also served.
Boyne allowed another sumptuous dinner as a welcome ceremony for Comrade Winston.
