I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

"There's no hidden secret here. People with similar ideals call each other comrades. Besides, Comrade Wu Hui herself prefers to be called 'comrade' rather than 'secretary'."

The former editor-in-chief paused, then continued.

"I can understand her. She's probably worried that her colleagues will gradually become alienated or even develop a sense of awe because of their positions.

"Comrade Wu Hui once told me that our revolution is not only to overthrow Cerino, but also to overthrow our former selves."

[Defeat my former self?]

Xiaoya was a little confused. She could understand defeating Cerrino, but what did it mean to defeat her former self?

Defeating yourself? Wouldn't that just allow others to take advantage of you?

The former editor-in-chief took a sip of tea with a smile, and looked at Xiaoya thinking. She seemed to see herself in exile.

"To overthrow your former self is to overthrow the old notions in your head. As the saying goes, a person is the sum of all social relationships. Growing up in an old, oppressive social environment, we inevitably carry some old notions."

At this point, Xiaoya has already understood that the revolution has happened and succeeded, but everyone's thinking will not change overnight. Everyone still has the same set of thinking as before. If this thinking is not changed, then in the end it will inevitably return to the state before the revolution.

"The revolution is over, but the revolution has just begun?" Xiaoya said thoughtfully.

The former editor-in-chief nodded, agreeing with Xiaoya's statement.

"Yes, the revolution has just begun, and this time the enemy..." the former editor nodded his head, "is right here."

"Thank you for taking the time to entertain me, comrade. I won't bother you anymore."

Xiaoya stood up and realized that her decision to go out for a walk was the right one. She still had a lot to learn. If she walked more and saw more, she would be able to apply what she gained to herself.

"Take care comrade, and have a pleasant time in Red Winter."

After waving goodbye to the busy editors, Xiaoya walked forward along the suburban road.

The weather is just right today. Although the wind is a bit stinging, the sunshine on the body still makes people feel a little warm.

Although Hongdong has a large population, its population density seems small compared to the vast self-governed area. If you continue walking from the suburbs, it is difficult to meet pedestrians along the way.

Although it is called the suburbs, it is actually almost no different from the wilderness. The Red Winter Affairs Bureau has never developed this place in the past. I don’t know what Wu Hui plans to use these places for.

After passing through this suburb, you will arrive at the industrial area of ​​Hongdong, which was infiltrated by the Sickle and Hammer Society like a sieve before the revolution.

The industrial zone is the place that the Hammer and Sickle Society values ​​most besides the place of exile. Most of the workers and students here support the Hammer and Sickle Society. Yesterday, the students and workers here launched an uprising together and, under the organization of the Hammer and Sickle Society, they caught all the security committee members guarding the place.

"Hello, hello. I'm the head of the Red Winter Industrial Zone and the director of the Mechanical Experimental Department. Just call me Murakami Riki."

Like other comrades, Riki also welcomed Xiaoya warmly.

"Our place is usually deserted. If I hadn't seen you at the door, you might have wandered around here all day without anyone paying any attention to you."

"Is that so? Then we are destined to be together."

In response to Riki's enthusiastic greeting, Xiaoya also responded to her. Speaking of which, Xiaoya was also very curious about the situation in the Hongdong Industrial Zone.

"We produce almost all of Red Winter's industrial products here, and all of Red Winter's weapons and equipment come from our Mechanical Experimental Department."

Lishu raised his hand and said to Xiaoya that the industrial zone gathered all the workers except those from the Ministry of Works, and was one of the bases of the Hammer and Sickle Society. It was also the first place to be changed by the revolution.

The workers in the industrial zone include not only students but also citizens. In the past, students and citizens always spontaneously formed small groups. Although this could protect the interests of the small groups to a certain extent, it also caused division and mutual fighting among the working class.

Of course, that was the situation before the Sickle and Hammer Society came. Now, under the organization of the Sickle and Hammer Society, students and citizens have abandoned the model of forming small groups and are united in lower-level organizations led by the Sickle and Hammer Society.

"Federation of Labor Unions, this is the solution we've come up with. We'll organize students and citizens, have them join the Federation of Labor Unions, and unify our demands. That way, we can unite as one in front of those security committee members."

Riki proudly pointed to a sign in the industrial zone that read "Hongdong General Labor Union." She had contributed greatly to the establishment of the General Labor Union.

"So, has your life changed since the revolution?"

Xiaoya asked, the majority of the members of the sickle-hammer society came from workers in industrial areas, and Xiaoya also wanted to know how the sickle-hammer society's base had changed after the revolution.

"Yes, yes. A while ago, it was Celino who demanded we work two twelve-hour shifts. Then there was Marina's martial law. Now, our Hammer and Sickle revolution has succeeded." Riki casually pulled a student worker over. "How's it going? Can we meet today's target?"

"Yes, Minister. We discussed the previous indicators last night and responded to them. The higher-ups have issued revised indicators based on our feedback. Now, eight hours a day is more than enough for us, and we can still spare two or three hours for rest."

The student smiled and said that her job was very simple. She just needed to watch the machine run normally, and the automated production line would automatically produce the products.

"Before, whatever the higher-ups said was what we had to do. If they asked us to work 12 hours, we had to do it. If we didn't finish, we would be exiled.

"It's different now. The indicators from above are obviously not as stringent as before, and what has been issued is still a draft. We can discuss the specific situation and give feedback, and then the higher-ups will revise the indicators.

"More importantly, the New Affairs Bureau has paid all the back wages owed to that shorty Celino. I finally don't have to borrow money to go to work!"

As he spoke of the latter part, the student became obviously excited, and the surrounding students and citizen workers also echoed him. Although it was only the first day, Wu Hui and her colleagues' administrative efficiency was very high, and many relevant policies had already begun to be implemented.

"That's right. We're promoting democracy in the workplace. Although we're only allowing workers to participate in discussions about production targets right now, in the future, we'll also allow workers to manage themselves." Riki pointed to a blank whiteboard and said, "Over there, that's where we're going to hang the draft management document we'll discuss later.

“Workers’ democracy will be in every aspect of life.”

PS: Just consider this as the last effort, three updates, here we go!

Coup or Revolution? Greetings from the Soviet Union: Chapter 17: Healing and Saving Lives

Riki's last words left a deep impression on Xiaomei.

Workers' democracy, Xiaoya actually hasn't thought about this issue yet. Most of the societies in Gehenna, except for partnership societies like the Food Research Society, actually have a strict hierarchical order.

There is no need to say much about the tank manufacturing department and the military-style disciplinary committee controlled by Pandemonium. Even for a joke club like Convenience House 68, everything is decided by the president.

Although Alu is often led around by Kayoko and the others.

Let democracy be integrated into every aspect of life...

It seems so. Xiaoya felt that she was influenced by her habits in Gehena before, and she had never thought about this problem at all.

In this way, the community system of the millennium also seems to guarantee democracy among members. Although the final decision is made by the minister, the opinions of the members will also affect the minister's decision.

After leaving the industrial area with Riki's farewell, Xiaoya walked alone on the road, thinking.

When she came to her senses, she was almost at the entrance of the exile forest.

I remembered that although the Hammer and Sickle Society had moved out of the exile place, Marina, Celino and the others were still there. Of course, when it comes to the views on the post-revolution Red Winter, we cannot just look at the opinions of those who supported the revolution, but we also have to ask the opinions of those who were overthrown. This is the only way to be healthy.

Of course, it’s definitely not that Xiaoya is curious and wants to see Celino’s current expression, absolutely not.

So the girl went into the forest and walked along the path again.

"It's Comrade Xiaoya. Are you here to see Celino too?" A familiar voice, a familiar place. Xiaoya looked at the figure walking out of the woods.

"Hello, Comrade Shigure, how did you sleep last night?"

The one who came was Shi Yu. Today she was still on guard on this path. Although this position was not as important as before, someone was still needed to stay here to watch over Cerrino and the others.

"Not so good. Celino was making such a fuss about going back to the office that we couldn't sleep well."

Shi Yu said this with a smile, but she looked quite happy. Seeing Cerrino and the others undergoing labor reform was like fulfilling a wish.

"Don't you guys consider moving out of here? Live and study in the heart of Red Winter City."

"No, we are still needed here, and..." Shi Yu patted the new coat on his body, "We have restored the rights and interests that we should have as ordinary students. I received this coat last night. It is really warm. We also have a ration of snacks and pudding every day. It is not bad to stay here to supervise the prisoners.

"Actually, Kazuka and I have already applied. From now on, our 227th Special Class will continue to exist as a group to look after prisoners."

"I see, but the facilities are so..."

Xiaoya looked at the muddy trails here. Although the students in the power supply class had connected electricity to the exile camp, the water supply in the exile camp still relied on snow water. Such conditions were rare and harsh in the entire Kivotos.

"It's okay. The organization has already commissioned the Ministry of Works to build water pipes and a road leading to the exile area. In the future, the Red Winter Association will develop this forest with the exile area as its center. We discovered a large amount of mineral resources in this forest a year ago, but we didn't have the ability to develop it at the time."

Looking at Shi Yu like this, she must have regarded this place as her home a long time ago. After all, the exile place was built up bit by bit by her and her comrades.

"I understand. Take care, Comrade Shiyu." Xiaoya waved goodbye to Shiyu solemnly. The latter just smiled and watched Xiaoya leave her sight.

After walking along the path for less than half an hour, we arrived at the exile place.

Now it is no longer as lively as before. Only He Xiang and several Red Army soldiers from the 227th Special Squad are guarding the former Affairs Bureau and Security Committee leaders who outnumber them by several times.

"Oh, it's Comrade Xiaoya."

He Xiang, who was staring at Cerino swinging the hoe, heard the noise and looked up to see Xiao Ya walking along the road.

"Comrade Xiaoya, why are you here again? Are you here to see Celino make fun of you?"

"Well, that's not the way to say it..."

Well, Xiaoya admitted that she wanted to see Celino make a fool of himself, but her main purpose in coming here was to see how the Hammer and Scythe would deal with these defeated oppressors.

Maybe she can use these advanced experiences in Gehenna.

"Is that Xia Lai? Could it be that the teacher has come to his senses and wants to help me return to the office?"

When Celino saw Xiaoya, his eyes lit up and Xiaoya was too embarrassed to interrupt her fantasy.

"Go dig your potatoes!"

It was He Xiang who waved her fist viciously, which reminded Celine of the experience of being pinned to the ground and beaten by He Xiang yesterday. So he had to shrink his neck and look at Xiaoya pitifully.

But this trick didn't work on Xiaoya. Cerrino was not Ibuki, and he wasn't as reasonable as Ibuki.

"Where are Secretary Ba and Marina? Aren't they with Celino?"

Xiaoya looked around, but only saw a few senior security committee members, but no Secretary Ba and Marina.

"As for them, it's really annoying when they gather together, so we separated them. They should be cutting trees over there now," said Hexiang.

Only Secretary Ba and Celino are okay. Although Secretary Ba always asks her to do Celino's work as well, she can just ignore it.

When Marina and a group of officials from the Affairs Bureau and the Security Committee were brought in last night, things really got out of hand.

When he saw Marina, Cellino was extremely emotional and said he wanted to exile Marina or something like that. Marina, who was very good at fighting, just stood there like an ostrich and let Cellino insult her. Later, she even knelt on the ground and hugged Cellino's legs and said something like "President, I was wrong. I will never dare to break your statue again!", making it impossible to carry out the work.

The members of the 227th Special Squad had to separate them by force.

"Marina is so powerful, and there are many more prisoners here than you. Aren't you worried they might escape?"

Xiaoya asked. This was also what she was wondering, how did the 227 Special Class keep such a small number of people under their supervision?

"Don't worry. They'll freeze to death if they run out of this forest. If they take the small path, Shi Yu will be guarding them there. If they want to be beaten by Secretary Wu Hui again, they can just try to run away."

When Hexiang talked about Wu Hui, Xiaoya saw the security committee members tremble a few times. It was obvious that Wu Hui had become a scary existence in their minds.

"Besides, we're not treating them as prisoners. We're just doing labor reform. As long as they admit their mistakes and have a high level of awareness, we'll let them go."

He Xiang pointed to the old building and said, "Yes, we will hold ideological education classes there in the evening."

Coup or Revolution? Greetings from the Soviet Union: Chapter 18: We Have Friends All Over the World

Ideological education class? Out of curiosity, Xiaoya walked into the old building. The hall where everyone discussed things yesterday was now filled with many desks and turned into a temporary classroom.

"This is the classroom where we'll study." He Xiang temporarily entrusted her work to a Red Army soldier and followed Xiao Ya into the old building. "Also, this is what we'll be studying."

"The ABCs of Communalism?"

Hexiang handed a booklet to Xiaoya, who flipped through it briefly and found that it only contained the first part, the theoretical part, and it mentioned something about the country.

"Was this written by Wu Hui?"

"Yes, this was written by Secretary Wu Hui after she returned from the millennium, but she only wrote the first part of the novel."

Xiaoya nodded and made a mental note of "communalism".

"That's about it. We use labor reform and ideological education to transform the prisoners' wrong ideas, and hopefully make them our new comrades. Of course, we also pay them wages, after all, this is what they earned through hard work."

He Xiang found a chair and sat down. During her days in exile, she and her comrades learned a lot of theoretical things. She was also the main lecturer of the ideological education class.

"We want to eliminate the class of oppressors, not the specific individuals. We believe they can be reformed through our education."

Although He Xiang was badly hurt by Cerino, she is still willing to give them a chance. After all, they are all classmates. As long as Cerino can truly reform and recognize his mistakes, they can still become good comrades to build a new life together.

"What if they don't change?"

Xiaoya said that this possibility was not impossible. For example, for someone like Director Caesar, Xiaoya felt that even if he was forced to undergo labor reform for hundreds of years, it might not be effective.

He Xiang was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiaoya's question, and then said: "Although I don't want to do this, but if this situation really happens... physical destruction is necessary.

"This can be considered a dictatorship, but it also protects the achievements of our revolution."

Dictatorship? Xiaoya had heard a new word. This involved the question of how to protect the fruits of the revolution after the revolution. Xiaoya felt that she needed to learn more about it.

However, He Xiang just waved her hand and said, "Although I would like to explain it to you, comrade, it would be better for you to ask Secretary Wu Hui about this. I only have a vague understanding of dictatorship."

"Okay, sorry to bother you, I'll take my leave now."

"It's okay, it's okay. The work here is actually quite boring. I'm happy to have customers come up and sit with me."
