Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 716 - 669: Thought Imprint
Perfikot and Kallen discussed a lot about how the Workers' Federation should develop given the current situation.
This includes topics concerning the dominion as well as how the Workers' Federation can expand its influence within the cabinet and the National Assembly.
Aside from these, what Perfikot and Kallen talked about the most was how the Workers' Federation could use the five-year economic development plan to enhance and develop the workers' movement.
"The implementation of the economic development plan will create a large number of jobs, which will undoubtedly greatly expand the worker base. Your Workers' Federation should take this opportunity to send key figures into these factories to spread revolutionary ideas and the workers' movement." Perfikot suggested to Kallen, or more precisely demanded: "Of course, when you are selecting key figures, you must explain clearly to them that their task is to develop and expand the scale and influence of the worker base.
The current situation and the development of the worker base are not yet suitable for launching a large-scale workers' movement, let alone a violent revolution! The Empire currently does not have the environment or conditions for a violent revolution.
At the same time, do not be blindly optimistic, thinking that the Workers' Federation has already stepped onto the political stage and begun entering the center of national power, believing that we have the advantage and can gain national power through political elections, or even overthrow the aristocracy and capitalists!
This idea is absolutely wrong! Only through a thorough revolution, a bottom-up thorough revolution, can we overthrow those rulers and oppressors completely, overthrow oppression and exploitation, and establish a proletarian society where the people are truly in charge!
You must make this clear to your comrades, and both excessive optimism and extremism must be prohibited and combated, so no one takes the wrong path."
From Perfikot's own perspective, what she was doing was exceedingly contradictory.
Being a grand aristocrat yet supporting the workers' movement, being a noble who exploits and oppresses, yet sympathizing with the oppressed and exploited.
Clearly, on one hand, secretly supporting and expanding the workers' base through economic policies, and pushing Workers' Federation members onto the political stage to form political factions, while on the other hand advising the workers' base not to be blindly optimistic about the current situation.
Opposing violent revolution, yet reminding Kallen that only a true and thorough revolution can achieve their ideals.
This indeed made Perfikot seem very contradictory, as if she was fighting with herself.
"I understand, I will make it clear to everyone." Kallen did not find Perfikot's ideas contradictory; she was perhaps the person who could understand Perfikot's thinking the most.
Because of her understanding of Perfikot, Kallen knew clearly that she did not want to get involved in any political struggles.
However, various reasons caused Perfikot to become the undisputed absolute ruler of the Northern Territory in both theoretical and practical senses.
This had a touch of black humor, but it was also understandable.
But what truly made all this difficult to accept was that Perfikot almost single-handedly supported the Workers' Federation, which now seemed to hold a crucial position in the Victor Empire.
The Northern Territory's biggest aristocrat and oppressor was the greatest secret supporter and theoretical mentor of the Workers' Federation; this truly was rebelling against one's own creation.
Fortunately, only Perfikot and Kallen knew about this matter. If others knew, it might cause instability throughout the Northern Territory?
Nevertheless, even if this were reported, probably not many people would believe it.
After all, it is truly inconceivable that the most powerful noble in the Northern Territory, the indisputable ruler, would overthrow her own ruling foundation.
"There's one more thing, you must also focus on building the workers' armed forces! Never lay down your weapons; they are the real foundation and reliance of the struggle! Because you have weapons for struggle, only then will the enemies seriously listen to you, consider your demands, and finally make compromises." Although Perfikot still appeared slightly tipsy, her eyes were exceptionally clear, and the alcohol hadn't affected her genius mind at all.
"You've emphasized this many times; only struggle can bring victory, and force is the guarantee of our revolutionary cause, which I've already stressed to our comrades many times." Kallen earnestly responded to Perfikot.
She understood Perfikot's concerns, especially as the Workers' Federation gained more seats in the National Assembly and Kallen herself entered the cabinet as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire, there indeed was an air of optimism within the Workers' Federation.
They believed that the revolution had now achieved a stage victory, and they could gradually control the National Assembly through democratic elections, eventually forming a cabinet belonging to the workers and then implementing legal reforms to transform the nation from a feudal empire to a proletarian government suggested by Perfikot.
"Just emphasizing it is not enough; you must make everyone fully recognize this point. There can't be any compromise or expectation towards the enemies, because whether aristocrat or capitalist, they are born to exploit and oppress, and when your interests conflict with theirs, they instinctively want to eliminate you." Perfikot lay on the sofa in a comfortable position, seemingly unconcerned about her personal image.
The expensive dress was wrinkled, and her well-groomed hair was in disarray, yet this did not affect her image of wisdom in Kallen's eyes.
The topic was heavy, as both Perfikot and Kallen belonged to the group 'born to exploit and oppress.'
Perfikot especially was a representative of an entire interest group, who from some perspective could even be seen as the representative of the interests selected by the entire aristocracy and capitalist class of the Victor Empire.
Her existence symbolized the interests of many, and the network of interests entangled with her nearly covered the entire ruling class of the Victor Empire.
This naturally placed Perfikot on the opposite side of the workers' movement, while also giving her identity a layer of natural protection since nobody would believe that the Northern Territory's Count would be a supporter of the workers' movement.
"There are individuals who betray their class, but never a class that betrays its interests. Kallen, remember my words: do not hope or compromise with the bourgeois and aristocratic classes; you must fight to the end." Perfikot turned her head to look at Kallen, at the same time snapping her fingers.
To ensure that Kallen fully embraced this belief, Perfikot even utilized alchemy to leave an ideological mark in her mind, engraving the spirit of fighting to the end into her psyche.
