Chapter 1266: Don't Laugh at Anyone
Wang He has been immersed in the system for many years, and of course he is also deeply touched. He smiled and said: "In fact, the root cause of China's thousands of years of rise and fall is the rule of man, which directly led to China entering a vicious circle of chaos and alternation. China's thousands of years of Confucian ideology has focused on the rule of man, and the rule of man gives rise to corruption, corruption destroys society, and frequent alternation of the rise and fall of chaos is inevitable.
If you do things according to the procedure, although it looks more mechanical, but in the process of implementation, it also avoids clichΓ© red tape, and there is not too much interest relationship between people, which avoids the breeding of corruption to the greatest extent. Therefore, the rule of man is also a high-risk, high-cost political system. The rule of law, on the other hand, is relatively stable and will not fluctuate greatly.
Although a large number of grassroots management cadres trained by the company for many years are generally very competent and have a down-to-earth work style, how long can this atmosphere be maintained, and whether the next generation can continue to do so? I can tell you responsibly that if the existing political system is not changed by then, most of the grassroots cadres will have to rot completely.
Take ourselves as an example, who dares to guarantee that our next generation will have the same ideals as us. Only by constantly changing and improving can a regime adapt to the constantly developing society and remain invincible for a long time. If the environment changes and still sticks to the old-fashioned rules, and does not want to forge ahead, it will eventually lead to bitter fruits. β
Song Tao thought for a while and said: "Lao Wang, I listen to your meaning, will we also implement the social structure of Western democracy after the founding of the Far East in the future?" β
Wang He smiled, shook his head and said: "The Western democracy advocated by the intellectuals in modern society actually refers to American-style democracy, that is, the so-called universal values, and its appearance has been less than a hundred years since World War II. A system that has not gone through hundreds of years of practice, during which it has gone through several ******** real wars and several events that changed history cannot prove the universal reliability and correctness of the system in human management, as well as its advanced nature.
Hehe...... Before World War II, Americans admired naked capitalism and despised democracy to the extreme. At that time, corruption and **** were rampant. Even later, as the United States established its hegemony in the world, the democracy they practiced at home was not at all the same thing as the American-style democracy they promoted around the world. In essence, it is a democracy of a small number of elites, a group of elites through various peaceful means, sitting in rows and sharing the fruits. Imagine how there can be the possibility of true equality and democracy between a group of lions and a group of sheep.
It is not that one person, one vote is called democracy, but democracy is a very complex system that needs a foundation. This includes an advanced legal system, a mature society governed by the rule of law, a sound education system, a strong economic foundation, an efficient ruling body, an advanced public opinion system, and so on. However, in countries that are economically backward and poor, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, or where class antagonism is very acute, blindly implementing the democratic system will only exacerbate the chaos and even division of the country.
The most suitable place for democracy is a spindle society, which means that the economic status and education level of the majority of the people in the whole society are basically similar. Nowadays, the people in all parts of the Ming Dynasty have not even filled their stomachs, they have not even opened their wisdom, and they have not even been exposed to modern civilization, how can you let them be democratic. You think that with a political party, with the right to vote for one person, one vote, it is called democracy, but that is all nonsense.
For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has been a centralized system of the central government, and Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the common people. Due to the deep-rooted traditional culture, Chinese society is destined to be a society in which human feelings are greater than the rule of law. No matter how the legal system is implemented, it will not be able to defeat human feelings. The way of behavior that is ingrained in the hearts and minds of every Chinese can never be changed. The unique cultural tradition, the unique historical destiny, and the unique national conditions determine that we cannot blindly take other people's things and copy them in a rigid way, which is destined to be unadaptable.
In modern society, the election of the director of the grassroots village committee and the head of the village also adopts the method of one vote per person, but what is the result? I have worked at the grassroots level for many years, and in many remote and backward poor villages, there are relationships, intercession, and even how much a vote is, and the villagers who vote know how the candidates who spend money to buy votes will get the money back after they come to power, but they still choose to sell their votes. This is also the main reason why we in the Far East are vigorously promoting institutionalization.
Western democracies are not rich because of their democratic systems. On the contrary, democracy is only possible after getting rich through all kinds of bright and unbright means. When Britain was rising, it was still enclosing the movement, and when the United States was rising, it was shooting students and veterans who were peaceful and anti-war, and even women and blacks were not allowed to go to college. It was only after the economic rise of Western democracies that democracy gradually emerged. So don't laugh at anyone now. β
Li Ming listened to Wang He's words, nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, at present, many employees of the company have also expressed their thoughts on many occasions more than once, that is, they hope that the company's future political system will adopt the advanced Western democratic system." Although their intentions are good, they do not understand what true democracy is.
In modern society, many third world countries that claim to have established democratic governments have only a formality in their democracy. They can write down democracy on a piece of paper, but it is another matter to implement it in practice. Democracy is often obstructed and influenced by bureaucracy, interest groups, foreign powers, and even the judiciary and the legislature itself.
Those who have the ability to participate in politics are a small number of highly educated elites who will use their power to form greater resource barriers. If the laws passed by people are not respected, then their will cannot prevail in a country. This is not democracy, even if they claim that they are democratic governments.
When we first entered the Central Plains, our top priority was to feed and clothe all the poor people at the bottom of the Central Plains, let all the poor children receive education, eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and finally achieve common prosperity. Again, going deep into the grassroots to carry out mass work is the focus of the Far Eastern Company's work in the next few years. β
Wang He also said with a smile: "No matter what kind of work you do, you have to do it step by step, first of all, you have to stabilize the situation in all parts of the Central Plains, and then slowly carry out the work." At present, the company's employees are gearing up, ready to enter the Central Plains to do a big job, and everyone's enthusiasm for work is relatively high. (To be continued.) )
