Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. Almost overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion!"

Answer:

the Bolshevik Revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

This passage is a call to arms and call to rebel against the established order of society. From the tone of the passage, it is clear that there is a great deal of social discontent that is being channelled into a full-scale revolution, and the text reflects the urgency to act.

The tyranny of men may likely refer to the privileges of the ruling class who maintained a feudal system over the tsarist Russia of the time and caused most of the working class citizens or farmers to live in poverty.
