one's class struggle

Class struggle is nothing but the act of one class overthrowing another and taking its place.
A group of people doing this is called a revolution.

One person doing that, that's the story told in this movie.

The feelings of the lower classes towards the higher classes are very delicate and complex, and
even if they were contemptuous at first, they still wanted to post it.

Just like the leaders of the peasant uprising all wanted to be officials and horses from the beginning.
It's like Mr. Ripley started clinging to Dickie and fell deeply in love with him.

As for the dignity price to be paid for "posting", the
lower classes have some numbers, bowing their heads and so on. What you have in mind is that one day you will climb higher than you, or wait for you to fall, and then humiliate you in turn.

But when this kind of attempt is severely cracked down, dignity has been lost, and interests have not been gained, and this has a strong revolutionary passion. This is often the case for leading revolutions, because if people who do not even have the attempt to climb up, or the technique of posting up, will not be able to resist when they encounter bullying, and only "jade and stone will burn" can only emerge in their thoughts. (I am a stone, others are still jade...), and not such a powerful idea as "Is there a seed for a prince and a general?" "He can be replaced!"

Mr. Ripley,
in terms of revolutionary consciousness,
is obviously on the same level as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu, etc.

With the revolutionary impulse, the next step is the revolutionary technology.
Of course, a strong revolutionary psychological quality is the premise of everything! ! !

To be honest, if I had the situation with Ripley, I would have collapsed when I got to the Opera House, and I would have turned myself in.

In addition, Chairman Mao's revolutionary psychological quality is also very powerful, otherwise he will definitely not be able to survive the Long March and wait for the War of Resistance...

What about revolutionary technology? In the end, the two words "thick" and "black" are the ones that pay attention to the methodology. In addition, the word "ruthless" is in place. The guiding ideology can refer to the principle when Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family, as long as you doubt it. Or I suspect that you may want to inform, you are dead, what a sturdy revolutionary attitude. Just like in this play, the little fat man lost his life because of suspicion.
