In Dubius Battle

In Dubious Battle
All the time that I was reading the novel In Dubious Battle I was thinking what would happen if all those workers had been reached that level of consciousness which Mac and Jim had reached. They had no fear to fight against everybody  who wanted to exploit them.Mac and Jim didn't feel being separate from other workers, or better to say the whole human being.They had found the truth that all of the people are one nature.Their heart were as big as a sea.They didn't want any profit unless all the people could have it.They couldn't be happy unless all the people were happy.They even  fight for those who hate them because they were red."Everybody hates us;our own side and the enemy.And if we won,Jim, if we put it over, our own side would kill us.I wonder why we do it."(161). Now I think if every body could reach that consciousness to know what is happening all around, and if everybody knows that he works and gets just a few percents of his real wages, and the rest of it goes to the pocket of  those minor people who exploit him. Then someone like Mac doesn't have to fight for others, and  he would fight beside Mac for all one nature(humanities). In that case all the people do the thing that should do, and Mac does not have to decide what the other should do.If it happened, Mac and Jim wouldn't have to take all the blame, or better to say there would  be no mistake to need to take the blame. All we did would be generated from our nature, no matter we would win or loose. The thing that mattered was that we should fight with those unusual men who try to obstruct our way to live in the way that we deserve.If it happened, that all of us had consciousness  a barn (the place that workers had settled in it), wouldn't be" burned down by our own kind of men"(292)What would happen if each of us asked ourselves "who we are, what is our part in this world and what is our role to make the world as the same that all humanities be happy and live as a one?"
In this novel Mac and Jim did more than their role in this world.In the end of the strike we see that "God Mac, you ought to of seen them. It was like all of them disappeared, and it was just one big-animal,going down the road.Just all one animal." (322)Then they go and knock that barricade, because " the animal don't want barricade." (323).Becoming like animal means to come back to our nature, that there is no fear of what would happen in the future if we knock the barricade which has obstructed our way.And the more valuable issue in this strike was that they wanted to decide by themselves if they fight or run away.They want to vote.In next movement this big animal Who wants to decide by himself would  become bigger and bigger.
"Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain."
