Chapter 8036: Scavenging
Phoebe knew that her Titan should be classified as a neoliberal supporter if it were to be classified according to the current classification principles...... Not only that, but the new alliance, with Onclaude and the Atlantic Floaters as the hardware core, and the lonely families and low-level people in the diplomatic bloc as the software core, is essentially on the side of neoliberalism.
Phoebe's significance to the new clique is to guide the entire bloc to resist the intention of the Democratic Party to continue to expand the power of the government on the one hand, and on the other hand, to oppose the all-round restrictions on the power of the government by classicism and neoclassicism, so as to properly maintain the authority of the government.
In this sense, Phoebe thinks that it can cooperate with China, but not with the EU, which is very reasonable: once the EU really spreads its political authority to the whole of Europe, sooner or later the United States, which is already in the Western camp and willing to maintain a certain degree of alignment with the Old Continent, will join this alliance that is supposed to be European political integration.
This may be good news for the forces of finance capital, and good news for the majority of the forces of industrial capital, but for the diplomatic bloc, it is a catastrophe.
Of course, the diplomatic bloc wants world peace, after all, only when the world is peaceful, diplomats and the diplomatic community can play the greatest role, but once the EU really gains power, then the diplomatic activities that should have been between many countries will become an exchange activity within a big government, so the diplomatic bloc is the group that most wants to dismantle the European Union, from a certain point of view, the biggest hope of the US diplomatic bloc is that in addition to the United States, the world is divided into small pieces, such as for Brazil, for example, for South Africa, for example, for Russia, and for China, all countries with vast territories and large populationsThe diplomatic bloc is not pleasing to the eye - but this is also to have a priority, and those associations composed of multiple countries, such as the CIS in the past, the current economic associations, the Muslim Conference Organization, the Catholic Commonwealth, the British Commonwealth, etc., in the eyes of the diplomatic bloc, also need to be disassembled, but as I just said, the priorities of the period really need to be carefully considered, who should be dealt with first, not by emotional thinking can be straightened out.
In the same way, the members of the State Council's political affairs committee are on the same position as the diplomatic bloc on this point, and if the government really merges in the future, then the authority of the State Council's political affairs bloc will not be as promising as those idealists imagine, after all, even Europe, which benefited from the Marshall Plan, was not very willing to obey the United States from the beginning, otherwise the Europeans would not have made a European Community, that is, the predecessor of the European Union, outside NATO.
In fact, the diplomatic bloc made many efforts to dismantle the European Community, but unfortunately, the existence of the Soviet Union forced the diplomatic bloc to focus on other directions, rather than cracking down on the huddle behavior of the Old Continent.
In the same way, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the diplomatic bloc also has several directions to develop, one is to deal with the European Community, the other is to deal with China, but because the two types of capital groups have seized a lot of interests during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and at the same time, a considerable part of the military technology has been converted to civilian use, so that both the military and the government system have focused on continuing to suppress Russia and targeting China. There are also quite a few people in the diplomatic bloc who believe that they should take advantage of the frenzy of the collapse of the Soviet Union to take care of China by the way, and because of this, the people in the diplomatic bloc, who want to deal with Europe first, have gradually become the middle and lower strata of the circle, and some have even completely left the circle.
In fact, as it has been said before, the adoption of orphans by families in diplomatic circles is an investment in the future, not because of their attitude towards which ethnicity or country they are.
But it is undeniable that this system, which has been in place since the mid-nineteenth century, has indeed benefited the American diplomatic corps, and there is no better investment than raising a big wolf cub and hunting wolves – the key is whether you can raise one or not.
And Phoebe is obviously a very qualified wolf cub who meets the expectations of those in the circle.
In essence, Phoebe's plan against China is actually the same as that of the United States in the past when it was pro-China to resist the Soviet Union, except that this time the enemy is the European Union. The reason why Phoebe's plan has won the support of many people, including some people who have not joined the new circle of diplomatic blocs, is entirely because with the Democratic Party in power again, the US diplomatic system, especially the appointment of diplomatic personnel, has completely become the Democratic Party's feedback to sponsors, which is both chilling and despicable, and has aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire traditional diplomatic bloc.
Similarly, the members of the Political Affairs Committee, which are the natural allies of the diplomatic bloc, are also very chilled by this, because the government affairs system has also been rewarded by the new president.
In essence, the upper circles of the United States do not believe in those scholars who summarize the laws of economics, and the fundamental reason is that the so-called achievements of these scholars are not always applicable to the current situation, in other words, in order to maintain their own status, the upper circles are conducive to appeasing the views of scholars, and if the situation changes, then it is not impossible for another scholar to come to the stage and shout.
Therefore, although Phoebe knows that she will be classified as neoliberal, and the school that is now in power is neoclassical liberalism, she is not worried about anything wrong with this, as I just said, scholars, if it is good, use it, and change it if it is not good, and the economics and sociology things they study are mainly used to regulate the middle and lower classes rather than the upper classes.
Therefore, although Barbara had been fighting for more than an hour, Barbara no longer had the strength to report the concerns of the people in the new group, but Phoebe was not worried at all, the worries that Barbara had said before. Because, even if they are at the top, there are actually many people who are the same as ordinary people, just like Titan, Phoebe needs people, but what she needs is not people with their own thoughts - the ideas mentioned here are big strategic visions, and at this point, Phoebe will not back down, of course, this can also be simply understood as Phoebe will not give in to power, but in essence, these are two different things.
Phoebe even understands that Barbara is a little suspicious of the recent changes in the situation because she found that she was being deceived by those people because she did not adapt to the change of identity. That's why she hurriedly fought with Phoebe in the secret room before the matter was finished - of course, the final winner was Phoebe as always, after all, Phoebe not only has good physical strength, but also better skills.
Those who claim power other than freedom are destined to be slaves.
In Phoebe's opinion, this sentence is enough to answer Barbara's doubts, just like in Titan, like in the new group, since they are all asking so much, then what is wrong with her asking them to give up their freedom?
Of course, on the surface, whether it is Titan or Unclod, whether it is Pandora or the new group, it makes people feel that there is not only freedom to thrive, but also freedom to thrive. And this is also the reason why Phoebe is recognized by the top management in the circle.
This kind of management ability and vision is indeed not simply obtained by learning, the key is that there are a lot of practical opportunities, although Phoebe does not have so many practice opportunities, but don't forget, her thinking mode is a purely logical thinking mode, behind every decision she makes, there are countless other possible directions but abandoned decisions, in other words, Phoebe since the age of eight, no matter what she does, she has deduced a lot of things in her mind, so even if she has not really practiced it in the real world, she has practiced it countless times in her mind。
So in the eyes of others, this becomes Phoebe has a talent for leadership, a talent for people who are born to lead others, but in Phoebe's view, this is just a reason to think more, and the others she leads give up thinking because of laziness.
Then, in Phoebe's view, others have the freedom to choose laziness instead of thinking, then she also has the freedom to choose to enslave those who choose laziness, the key is that her biggest difference is that she makes the enslaved people think that they are free, that's all.
And this kind of good thing can only happen under the order system of the United States, which is why Phoebe mainly attacked the United States although she built Titan in Germany.
As Titan's Detroit branch said in a manifesto before its dissolution: We recognize human rights, we recognize that all people are equal, and we do not discriminate against certain people. However, we also have the freedom and power to choose who we work with and who we become neighbors with. If this is to be considered racially discriminatory and to force us to hire certain people, it is a violation of human rights and freedom. As of today, the Detroit branch will be completely deregistered and withdrawn from this place where the government and the law interfere excessively with freedoms and human rights.
After the dissolution of the Detroit Industrial Company, not a single news or Internet source reported it, and even the prosecution at the time was reluctant to say much, but Titan was accepted by the forces of industrial capital because of this incident, so that it could be safe from further attacks by the financial capital group that followed—Phoebe really liked the American system of order too much.
Similarly, even in the upper circle of the United States, it is necessary to divide the high and low, so Phoebe naturally applied the rules of this order system without hesitation, so Phoebe, as the leader of the new group, naturally has to implement and implement this rule, even if this rule will cause some people to leave, Phoebe will not make changes, after all, what she has collected is already an outcast of society or circle- For example, the people of Titan were recruited from the neo-Nazi organization, and the people of the new group either broke away from the upper circle and fell to the middle level, or they were about to be eliminated by the upper circle.
In a way, Phoebe is like a raven, a clever scavenger......
