Chapter 196 The Future of Revolution
Alice sat in a seat in a room at the Trian Observatory, a secret outpost of the Visionaries Alliance, whose staff were all members of the organization.
Today, the observatory is bustling with activity. Around the central telescope, hundreds of people are standing or sitting in the park outside, which represents the vast majority of the organization.
Elves from Halvin, scientists from Trian, union members from Hilla Harbor, and people from all corners of the country have traveled across the ocean to gather here.
In modernized America society, all old relationships, including social and production relations, were being replaced by money-driven capitalism. With the rapid development of the Second Industrial Revolution, capitalist society began to disrupt past values like a raging flood.
Of course, no one wants to go back to the past, nor is it possible to go back to the past unless all machines and related technologies are annihilated, unless the entire Amelancian Empire is destroyed, otherwise industrialization will be unstoppable.
Import and export volumes soared throughout 658. The size of the merchant fleet was far less than that required for exports. Shipyards, factories, and logistics companies sprang up like mushrooms after rain. If someone were to travel by ship from the northernmost region of the North to the south, they would find the coastline of Amelansey filled with boats and docks.
Almost everyone agrees that society today has undergone "unprecedented changes" compared to the past, but even so, everyone sitting here has to admit that today, machines are more advanced than ideas.
Seemingly advanced capitalist enterprises are still family businesses in essence. More than 50 percent of these enterprises are not limited companies, but family businesses passed down from father to son.
People who seem to be free still miss the era of the Queen. Even though Alice has said that she will step down as president in fifteen years, many people still respectfully call her Her Majesty the Queen.
For the Farsighted Alliance, however, this was not something that could be solved with a simple revolution. Their social development was not yet advanced, and capitalism still held a dominant position.
And this is the most advanced country on this planet.
Carl Axe sat in the middle. When he first learned about the so-called Farsighted Alliance, he didn't react much. This so-called organization hadn't actually organized many social activities, while he, Carl Axe, had not only led several worker strikes but also named and chartered the workers' association.
While he was working for the workers in the port of Caro in Brittany, he thought he was all alone, but a mysterious man approached him, and eventually he boarded a ship and headed north to the Trian Observatory.
People were whispering among themselves, and Carl Eckers overheard many interesting conversations, some about the workers, some about the people, but many about the Halvin People's Commune.
He did indeed participate in the Harvin People's Commune incident. This white-haired and bearded old man came to this southern town immediately after the people stormed the noble mansion, and he did see what he had always dreamed of.
Without a doubt, the Harvin People's Commune was of great significance to all subsequent social revolutions, and it was also the first attempt by workers to take control of autonomous power.
Many believe that President Alice will not allow it to exist for long. As the founder and unifier of Amelia, President Alice is considered the most hardline and greatest president of her time. In just a few years, she transformed the empire into a republic, reunited the fragmented country, and defeated the Lasvia Empire, unleashing a frenzy of territorial reconquest.
Domestically, she established a new army, reformed the system, and promoted industrialization. Now, whether you like that petite vampire loli or not, you have to admit that she is not a simple ruler.
This very person actually made what he considered an incomprehensible concession, acknowledging the autonomous rights of the Harvin People's Commune. However, upon further investigation and analysis of the events, he realized that this was a ploy by Alice to strike at the old aristocracy and the new industrial elites.
The fact that the Halvin People's Commune was allowed to exist was not because Alice was cowardly or yielding; a single division would have been enough to destroy the armed civilians of Halvin.
Alice turned crisis into advantage. The emergence of the Harvin People's Commune would not destroy her rule. On the contrary, it would further solidify her rule. Once the banner of the Commune was raised, it meant that neither the old aristocracy nor the new bourgeoisie could shake her system. With just a shout, the previously ignored and whipped commoners would be overthrown.
Raffarin Lowe shared the same sentiment. After the Magic Hermitage moved to the surface, Alice quickly divided these magic researchers into batches and assigned them to different research institutions across the country. Five golden-robed mages were distributed among the five top magic research institutions, holding the titles of department head or deputy head.
Their legacy quickly entered the American Academy of Sciences, and all their research was published in the "Frontiers Today" newspaper. All their research theories and findings were edited into various cutting-edge scientific articles, using papers and pictures to preserve their last bit of value.
At this moment, with its members scattered throughout the country, the Magical Hermitage has become a mere shell of its former self. Under the new administrative system, the five-member committee, which was already divided in Japan, is now secretly vying for experimental funding, and has now become five factions in the magical science community of Amelian.
The Magical Order's move was less about resolving the crisis and more about burying the old aristocratic class.
It can be said that Alice was undoubtedly a master of strategic alliances.
Even today, some members of the Visionaries Alliance are unaware that Alice was the founder. Most of the later members are full of enthusiasm, but they don't really understand the organization.
Before everything began, Alice still hadn't decided what the future held.
Alice, Sainz, Alicia, Valery Sabrina, Raffarin Lowe, and Jack Reed sat together, discussing their future direction.
Amerlane has gradually stabilized, but a so-called proletarian revolution is impossible for at least thirty years. A nationwide revolution is difficult to achieve unless social contradictions reach a certain level, capitalism develops to a certain level, and the working class grows to a certain size.
And that is precisely their goal.
Inside this small house, these people are about to decide the future of the revolution.
