Chapter 91: Dogmatism

From the victory of the Soviet Revolution thirty years ago, the Red Party fell into a frenzy of spiritual beliefs. Because of the momentary victory, because of the short-term rapid development, everyone regarded Marxist-Leninist thought as the Bible, and thus gave birth to the most terrible dogmatism.

Everyone takes the classic social attention that Max fantasizes about as the truth, but ignores the gap between reality and ideals.

It's as ridiculous as a penniless person who sees someone else's villa beautiful, digging out of the dirt and building the same villa. In the end, the most we could do was build an adobe house without a roof.

What is Dogmatism? They do not analyze the changes and development of things, do not study the particularity of the contradictions of things, but only adopt ready-made principles and concepts to deal with problems.

From the perspective of social science, the main characteristics of dogmatism are that it separates theory from practice, separates subjectivity from objectivity, despises practice, despises perceptual understanding, and exaggerates the role of rational understanding.

The ideological style of treating individual words and phrases in the written books of Marxism as rigid dogmas, not conducting investigation and study of specific things, and only rigidly copying ready-made principles and concepts to deal with problems. We reject concrete analysis of specific issues and oppose the integration of the universal truths of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution.

In another life, people who have experienced this ideological harm no longer have any controversy about what dogmatism is.

In a fundamental sense, dogmatism is a rigid attitude. Its external manifestation is either to use a metaphysical point of view, to treat a certain established theory, opinion, doctrine or even a few words rigidly.

Either it is a realistic practice that uses some kind of established spiritual product to rigidly develop and change the rules and tailoring. The spirit of the two manifestations is consistent and rigid.

But in this era, when dogmatism has not yet become a danger, most people do not recognize the danger of dogmatism, and are carried away by the bright future depicted in the book.

Just like the Soviet Union now, they do not deeply reflect on the lessons and lessons of the socialist movement, do not penetrate and analyze the twists and turns of history, ignore the problems of the traditional socialist system itself hidden behind them, and still less calmly analyze some rational factors of the capitalist system hidden behind the development and prosperity.

In a word, they ignore the achievements of others and downplay their own twists and turns. In view of the objective reality that has developed and changed, it is not that they do not reflect on it, but they only know how to stick to almost all the contents of classical Marxism-Leninism and do things with an unchanged line of thought.

Ignoring the painful present for the sake of an ideal future is actually an act of dehumanization. What's even more terrifying is that they not only annihilate their own humanity, but also force others to follow this set of theories, and those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish.

The contemporary era does not have the minimum conditions for copying the classical socialism conceived by Max, first, the productive forces are underdeveloped, and second, "human nature" is not available.

In fact, even Zhou Nan believes in Marxism, but that can only be the ultimate goal, not a code that must be followed now.

To achieve a distant goal with conditions that are not available now will result in putting yourself in a desperate situation.

Everyone knows that it is good for every family to have a car, a house, an easy job, comprehensive medical insurance, and sufficient financial allocation. But you don't have that right now, so how can you do it?

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Nan did not talk much about the content of the meeting, but gave everyone a theoretical lesson. It can be said that these words did not have a big impact on Cai Lao and other old men, because they are all old people who have experienced vicissitudes, or in other words, they are all realists.

I don't care which theory is good or bad, first of all, it depends on whether it is good for me. I don't care whether the Soviet Union's national policy is correct or the West's national policy is correct, it depends on whether it is good for our country.

In order to achieve this goal, they are willing to sacrifice the present, and even sacrifice themselves to move towards this goal.

Therefore, Zhou Nan's words touched them the most, because Zhou Nan's words directly caused their faith to collapse.

Huang Wenxin, who sat to the left of Chen Zhongqing, their theoretical leader and a staunch member of the Red Party, asked rhetorically: "Mr. Zhou, how do you explain that the Soviet Union changed from a serf country to a world power in 30 years?" And what kind of Western country can have such rapid development when it does not rely on plunder? Isn't that an efficient use of productivity? ”

Zhou Nan didn't want to debate, but at this time he could only say: "I don't deny that the speed of development of the Soviet Union is indeed unparalleled, but this is based on the fact that Ukraine, the breadbasket of the world, has fallen into famine, countless prisons are full of opponents, and countless dissidents have been shot." If all people are equal, why do some people have the power to decide the life and death of others? And on the basis that others have not harmed others? ”

"The rapid development of the USSR was complicated and accidental, and internally, they forcibly integrated all their forces, concentrating on the development of heavy industry. Outside, they had a group of neighbors who were much more developed than them, and the continuous import of industrial technology, coupled with the dividends of the war, allowed the Soviet Union to develop rapidly. ”

"The increase in productivity is not simply a matter of overall strength, but in terms of unit performance, the value created by a worker in the United States far exceeds the value created by a Soviet, which proves the backwardness of the Soviet Union. Their rapid development is based on the integration of forces, but this integration neglects the most important thing, that is, human nature. ”

From the perspective of the importance of human nature, Zhou Nan talked about the difficulties faced by communism at the present stage.

First of all, this Chinese state could only be established with the support of the Netherlands, and it was impossible for the Netherlands to allow the Chinese to create a country completely different from theirs and lose their suzerainty in this country.

Second, the great whirlpool of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony is definitely not something that this new country, with a population of less than 10 million, can be mixed in.

Follow the USSR, the United States will strike, follow the USSR, and the USSR will not let them go. Therefore, it is the most correct path to work hard and follow the suzerain, the Netherlands.

In the end, communism can only be regarded as the ultimate goal, and this theory must not be rigidly applied to the head of this new country. The first task of the new state is to develop the economy, stabilize society and develop an economic program that is in line with the current development path.

Huang Wenxin asked again at this time: "Then Mr. Zhou, what kind of economic plan do you think is the right choice for our country?" ”

Zhou Nan had spoken to the young people of Bloody Switzerland before, so he did not hesitate to say at this time: "National socialism, or state capitalism." ”

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, socialism and capitalism are completely different models of the state, and this is where the biggest difference in this new country is at present.

The big Chinese families controlled the economy of the East Indies and were all merchant families, while the country of the Netherlands was developed by a group of merchants, and it was a real merchant country.

Therefore, Cai Lao and the others all respect this model of the Netherlands.

The advantage of this model is that Borneo's social structure is relatively compatible, and the merchant families are able to smoothly use the existing resources and develop the economy rapidly.

The disadvantage is that businessmen work in silos, interests come first, and it is difficult to effectively integrate existing forces. And this country has Britain in the north, and there are countless Chinese assets in the south that need to be protected, and if the forces cannot be integrated, then there is nothing that can be done to protect the property of Chinese in other places.

It is also because of this that Huang Wenxin and his team resolutely oppose this model and want to adopt the Soviet model.

But this model is even more unrealistic, because the international environment simply does not allow them to do so. If they dare to adopt this model, I am afraid that the Dutch will immediately compromise with the Javanese and go all out against the Chinese.

Even if their power is not large now, let's not forget that the Americans are in the Philippines, and the British are in the north. In order to eliminate the red, they will definitely go all out against the Chinese as well.

Cai Lao's calm face also showed a trace of astonishment, including the Dutch envoy Prannin and several generals who were listening to them, all of whom did not understand the meaning of Zhou Nan's words.

Zhou Nan continued: "In the thirties, Germany entered a period of rapid development. The economic model they have adopted is fully worthy of our reference......"

Huang Wenxin shouted: "This is Nazism, fascism, and it is absolutely impossible for us to recognize this path!" ”

Zhou Nan smiled, nodded to Planning, who was sitting far away from him, and then said: "Mr. Huang, your objection only proves that you are ignorant and rigid in your thinking, ignoring the achievements of others, and using such a clumsy reason makes me have deep doubts about your theoretical ability. Why don't you listen to what other people have to say......"

Planning smiled and said: "I think I understand what Mr. Zhou meant, the German economic model in the thirties is indeed a very good economic program, and Hettler has made a great contribution to the Germans in this regard." The only wrong step he took was to lose control of the prime minister and president at the same time, and then embarked on the path of fascism. There is an endless stream of research on Germany's economic model in the West, and if you only talk about the economy in terms of political factors, this is indeed a very good model. ”

That being said, Planning did not give the attitude of the Dutch. Because only after the unification of the Chinese is formed, the Dutch understand the plan of the Chinese, and will negotiate with the Chinese to maximize the benefits.

As long as the Chinese do not follow the path of the Soviet Union, they will not get too involved in internal affairs.

"The biggest mistake is that the prime minister and the president are at the same time?" Huang Wenxin repeated a sentence and thought deeply.

Zhou Nan continued his words and said: "Power should be restrained at all times, otherwise it will get out of control. This is the biggest problem of the USSR now. They seem to have eliminated the bourgeoisie, but they have created an unchecked privileged class, and this is the most terrible thing. As for socialism or capitalism, there is no clear line, the key is how to define the class ...... of management and distribution"
