On the way to the bidding location, Strasser was enthusiastically sharing his ideas with Kirov.
"All theories are constantly developing in practice. Your mentors, the Bolsheviks, were inspired by Marx's statement that socialism should be first achieved in a developed capitalist country. Many people consider this statement as a Model, believing that socialism can only be achieved through revolution in strong capitalist countries like England and France. However, your other great mentor, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, made modifications to Marxism, believing that socialism could be achieved in individual or a few countries with weaker imperialism. It has been proven that he was right."
This indicates that theories must continuously evolve. Moreover, socialism is not limited to a single form; there are many paths to communism. However, everyone believes that only the path they are taking is correct, while others are on the wrong or misguided path. Kirov was about to argue back against Strasser, but he realized he had been caught in a logical loop, so he decided to change the subject.
"To my knowledge, your National Socialist Party's founding program merely serves to protect the interests of the petty bourgeoisie; it is essentially corporatism, which advocates for class collaboration and seeks to reconcile class conflicts, and does not truly represent the interests of the workers."
"No, no, no, you are looking at an outdated version. Come and see our National Socialist Party's latest program," Strasser said as he took out the new twenty-five points of the National Socialist Party that he always carried with him.
"Seize the profits of large enterprises and redistribute the means of production..." Kirov widened his eyes and carefully read through it.
"Indeed, there are similarities in economic policies with the Bolsheviks, but I still think it's too chauvinistic." Kirov shook his head. The socialist party he envisioned should adhere to world revolution, rather than merely pursuing socialism in one country. Strasser was unconvinced; he stretched lazily with his hands resting on the back seat.
"Any ideology is meant to serve the interests of country, I am only responsible to the German people, and the responsibility for the people of the world is something the Earth's leader should worry about. Moreover, if your Stalin chairman were here, he would probably agree with my point of view. He would support socialism in one country rather than world revolution."
Kirov was a bit tongue-tied, he was very clear that he supported the ideas of Comrade Stalin, and probably really would not support world revolution.
"That's because the conditions are not ripe. When the time is right, we must launch a world revolution," Kirov made a final cunning argument.
"Forget it, Comrade Kirov," Strasser patted Kirov's shoulder. "Your Soviet Union's defeat at the gates of Warsaw has already declared the failure of this century's European world revolution. You don't have the strength to liberate all the countries in Europe; you should focus on how to build up the Soviet Union instead."
"Perhaps that's true," Kirov said, feeling a bit downcast, but he quickly rallied himself.
"Even though the road ahead is winding, I will still strive forward. I will not compromise my ideals because of the difficulties of reality. If Comrade Stalin does not think this way, then I must personally persuade him," he said firmly.
Strasser fell silent; he knew he could not persuade the person next to him from Leningrad, just as he could not persuade himself. Both were convinced that their paths were correct, and only if one side gave up their path early could they become companions.
Although they could not be companions now, they could still be collaborators, Strasser thought.

Bavaria
Nazi Party headquarters
"Ernst, how many times do I have to say it, the stormtroopers are an organization subordinate to the party, the leadership should be in the hands of the party central." Hitler was incessantly talking to Rom.
After returning to headquarters, Hitler's assistant and secretary Rudolf Hess initially expected a fierce argument and brawl. After all, over the past month, discordant voices within the party had grown louder, with some even openly questioning Hitler's leadership.
However, when Hitler once again walked into the familiar hall of the Nazi Party headquarters, Hess realized he had worried unnecessarily. All party members who had not left the Nazi Party remained absolutely loyal to Hitler. He was the core of the Bavaria movement; without him, the Nazi Party would vanish into thin air.
So when Hitler walked into the hall, everyone uniformly saluted him with a Nazi salute and shouted "Heil Führer."
In the face of such a scene, Hitler remained composed; he knew he would always be the leader of the Nazi Party because no one had his charisma to unite the masses, not even Rom.
Thus, Hitler effortlessly reclaimed command of the Nazi Party. He would expel all party members who had been disloyal to him during that time and those who questioned his leadership position and style, and he faced no obstacles in doing so.
Hes is worried that this will further weaken the already dwindling Nazi power in Bavaria, but Hitler himself resolutely told his loyal secretary that dismissing some traitors seemed to weaken their power, but in reality, it cleared the party of decay, leaving a strong body. The Nazi Party will soon redevelop.
However, within the party, Hitler faced a setback with his old comrade Rom, who refused to hand over the leadership of the stormtroopers to Hitler.
"I'm sorry, Adolf, the stormtroopers have handed themselves over to me, and I must be responsible for them," Rom said with a hint of regret but a firm attitude.
So, there was a dispute between Hitler and Rom. Both sides wanted the highest leadership within the party, and two extremely power-hungry individuals were unwilling to give up their power. In the end, Hitler appealed to Rom for compromise based on their many years of comradeship. "For the sake of our long-standing acquaintance, please make a concession, Ernst."
Rom sighed, " Adolf, let's discuss the future development direction of the Nazi Party."
Hitler raised his head, looking at his closest comrade who had now become a stumbling block to his power. He decided to temporarily set aside the dispute, as he didn't want to fall out with Rom just yet.
"Very well, let's consider how to develop the Nazi Party in Bavaria in the future," Hitler said softly.
