1, two silk worker uprisings in Lyon, France;
183 1 and 1834, workers in Lyon, France held two armed uprisings against capitalist exploitation and oppression. Lyon is the center of French silk industry. Under the cruel exploitation of factory owners and businessmen's employers, silk weavers and craftsmen live in extreme poverty. 183 1 At the beginning of the year, workers in Lyon set off a movement mainly demanding higher wages. The workers held many rallies, petitions and demonstrations. During the period of 10, a minimum wage agreement was negotiated with commercial employers. But later, with the support of the Minister of Commerce of the July Dynasty, the merchant employers tore up the agreement. 183 1 year1month 2 1 workers held a protest demonstration, which clashed with the military and police and turned into a spontaneous armed uprising. The rebel army put forward the slogan "You can't live without working, but you would rather fight to death". After three days of fighting, workers once occupied the city of Lyon. The uprising was quickly suppressed by the troops transferred by the July dynasty government.
1on April 9, 834, the silk workers' uprising broke out again in Lyon. The direct cause of the uprising was that the government arrested and tried the strike leaders and issued a decree prohibiting workers from organizing assemblies. This uprising has a more distinct political nature, which not only requires economic development, but also puts forward the slogan of abolishing the imperial system and establishing a political system. The insurgents wrote on the banner: "The cause we are fighting for is the cause of all mankind." Members of workers' organizations, mutual aid societies, petty-bourgeois democratic organizations, human rights societies and progressive societies formed a general committee to lead the struggle. The rebels fought fiercely with the government forces in the suburbs and downtown Lyon for six days, and were finally suppressed by the government forces because of the disparity in strength. The uprising aroused strong repercussions in Paris and many places in France, which promoted the development of the French workers' movement. The two worker uprisings in Lyon are one of the important signs that the French proletariat has stepped onto the historical stage as an independent political force.
2. The constitutional movement:
The Charter Movement was initiated by British workers 1836- 1848, with the aim of gaining due rights. This movement has a political program-People's Charter, so it was named Charter Movement.
The purpose of the Charter Movement is for workers to demand universal suffrage in order to have the opportunity to participate in the management of the country. "Universal suffrage is a rice bowl problem", and the working class hopes to improve its economic status through political changes. They expressed their demands in the form of a people's charter. The British Constitutional Movement, the Silesia Textile Workers' Uprising in Germany and the Lyon Silk Workers' Uprising in France are called the three major workers' movements in Europe, which shows that the proletariat has stepped onto the historical stage and laid a class foundation for the birth of Marxism. However, due to the lack of guidance of scientific theory, this movement finally failed, which reflects the urgent requirement of establishing scientific revolutionary theory.
3, Silesia textile workers uprising in Germany:
The uprising of textile workers in Silesia, Prussia. Silesia had a developed textile industry at that time. Workers and domestic craftsmen engaged in cotton and linen textile in this area are brutally exploited by workshop owners, commercial employers and landlords. In the 1940s, capitalists passed on the losses caused by the impact of British machine textiles to workers, which aggravated their poverty. The British constitutional movement, the Silesia textile workers' uprising in Germany and the Lyon workers' uprising in France are called the three major workers' movements in Europe, which shows that the proletariat has stepped onto the historical stage and laid a class foundation for the birth of Marxism.
