Chapter Eighty-Four: Why Can't You Be Enlightened Like That?

This kind of controversy is good, and proves that after ten years of enlightenment, these people began to mature their ideas, and began to oppose direct conclusions within logic in what Chen Jian called "methodology", and began a "blasphemy" path similar to that of natural science.

The source of this dispute is nothing more than a spontaneous reaction under the conditions of insufficient productive forces after encountering the analysis of capitalism, which coexists with criticism and praise.

According to the reasoning, they saw a bloody road, a "gloomy and blood-stained" road of capital cannibalism, as noted in the report of the meeting.

So some people want to know, can you just skip this bloodstained road and directly transition to a better future?

Mincheng has already begun the road of non-budding capitalism, and the countryside will also follow the road of "peasants lose their land and become proletarians with nothing".

Is this path inevitable? Or can it be bypassed?

This is a fork in the road that concerns the fate of the entire republic and countless people of the same clan, and this debate on the rent and interest reduction in Min County or the rent and interest reduction plus the permanent tenant system is just a road sign at this fork in the road of fate.

The tenant system, the landlord land ownership system, and the big family military merit land system are beasts that are already eating people.

Capitalist mergers, exploitation, and mercenary pursuits are a noose hanging over the head.

Is it against both the beast and the noose? Or do you think that the noose is inextricable, and wait until everyone is suspended by the noose, and then raise your arms and shout? Or is it that the noose will naturally break because there are too many people attached to it, so now should we help put the noose up?

This situation is the populism, small peasant socialism, petty bourgeois socialism, and feudal socialism that will inevitably arise under the condition of advanced thinking and insufficient productive forces.

The dispute also has to do with the composition of the Mexican party. Of the 412 delegates present, more than 120 are hired workers, former tenant farmers, and miners. Although there are not too many of them, it is always possible to brazenly call themselves parties representing the interests of "hired workers and the bourgeoisie".

However, when the Progressive League was founded, Chen Jian was a big capitalist among the initiators, Hu Lin was the heir to the family estate as long as he returned home, and Lan Qi was the only daughter of the old aristocracy...... The lowest class of participants were Mr. Enlightenment, teachers, small workshop owners, etc.

In addition to Chen Jian, a die-hard element whose three views have been formed, Hu Lin, Lan Qi and others have grown up and walked towards a path close to Chen Jian, which comes from the society itself and traditional culture.

Ten years ago, there was no impatience to save the country and survive, and there was no threat of extinction. The war of unification was fought by their grandparents, the great voyage had not yet begun, the general participation and financial support of industry and commerce in the war, the royal power had not yet appeared after the continuation of the king's adherence to the traditions of the republic, and the germ of capitalism had already spread......

At that time, what they were thinking about was just a retro reaction to the beautiful social concept of a republic and equality left by Chen Jian in the previous life.

What they want is under the condition that the world is unified and the republic is the world, what is the future destination of the Chinese people? How can the unfairness, unfairness, and dark side that are increasingly appearing be erased?

Before they met Jian Chen, they had already had this kind of thought, the so-called flies don't bite seamless eggs, it was not Chen Jian who pulled them over, but they spontaneously approached and were affected by Chen Jian's three views.

And the motivation for them to come over, Chen Jian felt that it was a sick disease of the progressive upper class and intellectuals.

Although it is difficult to say that everyone is gay now, Chen Jian is still convinced that the reason why these people joined the Progressive League in the first place was a mentality of atonement.

They were confronted with more and more injustices in the republic, and these well-educated people felt a sense of guilt.

They believe that they are "elegant and cultured, and have a wealthy and prominent family" in exchange for the bullying, slavery, and misery of the majority, that is, contrary to the national republic that has been emphasized at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Their own elegance and knowledge are a contrast and foil to the fact that most people are not qualified to be educated and unable to live the life they do.

As a result, they carry a mentality of atonement, a mentality of atonement and retribution for the progress and fairness of society, a distorted sense of mission and a pathological sense of responsibility brought about by atonement and repayment.

Because they knew the squalor of high society, saw how their fathers earned money, and read the old books left by Chen Jian at the beginning of the founding of the country, the impetus for a remnant of the progressive alliance arose.

Just as Hu Lin wore a helper's shirt after leaving home, he wrote Dream City, and all thoughts were disillusioned after witnessing the suppression of the River Valley Uprising; Just as Lan Qi was as approachable as possible in the capital and manor, she sacrificed her life to organize a rescue after the outbreak of the smallpox plague, and raised two wolf cubs in order to reproach those who believed that moral inheritance was inherited...... All of this is supported by this mentality of atonement and retribution.

If Jian Chen had not intervened and continued to develop according to the trend of this group of young people in the Republic, it is very likely that a strange moral philosophy would have emerged.

Nietzsche said that there are two kinds of morality: those who are independent and brave are called aristocratic morality; The humble and obedient are called slave morality.

And if this group of people does not think that moral humanity and sociality are related to social form, and insist on the original mentality of atonement, they will definitely run towards another broad road, which is likely to be: aristocratic feelings, aesthetics, philosophy, and upper culture are all bullshit, and everyone should pull themselves to the lowest level of morality, and no one has a sense of superiority.

Chen Jian wants enlightenment, enlightenment needs someone to go ahead to enlighten others, after learning the methodology, everyone will be leveled, self-thinking and self-emancipation, not to establish the sage morality as the standard, only to spread the method of self-emancipation, because morality changes with the social form and the times.

Ten years ago, if this group of people naturally matured and spontaneously enlightened, the direction might be that no one should go ahead of anyone, and they would be leveled according to the lowest point, believing that this can be truly equal and republican. Any superior beings are sinful and contrary to the republican traditions of the founding of the state, and they will not recognize that morality and humanity are mutable.

The two look very similar, but in fact they are completely different, which is also easy for some people to confuse, and will become the biggest bottom resistance in the process of progress, which is easy to be used by people with intentions to carry the black flag against the black flag.

Therefore, the Enlightenment here can only be derived from the three disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology and overkill Scientology, and cannot rely on the philosophy and retro reflection of the progressive upper class, which is too easy to go astray.

This is ideological, and when it is implemented in concrete reform policies, it reflects the divergence between the two main ideologies within the Mexican Party – the scientific reasoning school and the populist utopian school.

It is normal for there to be factions in the party, and the actual material conditions and economic basis also determine that the utopians are still very inciting.

And outside the party faction, there are many more factions and careerists, and they are the most alarming enemies.

Just as the concept of "socialism" in another sense, based on collective ethnicity, which has emerged as a result of the emergence of evolutionary theory, these four words are now a golden crown that everyone wants to put on their heads, especially the old aristocracy and conservative forces and power families.

Now, if a powerful family comes forward and says that he is a socialist, Chen Jian is not surprised at all.

Even when these doctrines spread outside, it was normal for the Tsars of Russia, the kings of France, and the kings of Sweden to shout that they were true socialists.

It is not permissible that the Tsar Rui or the like would have set up a state Duma with the participation of non-aristocrats and capitalists, pretending to represent the interests of the proletarians and the peasants, in order to resolutely oppose the bourgeois-democratic revolution.

Now if someone stands up and says, "Look, capitalism is bad, it has dragged people into the abyss of poverty, the old morality has been swept away, the peasants have lost their land, and the workers have become impoverished." So you must not follow the bourgeoisie to make trouble with the new people's council of equality and democracy like Minjun, will you let me be the king?

If I become king, if I am truly socialist, I will get rid of the class barrier - evolutionary and naturalistic, we are all human beings, how can there be any class?

How? You give me the supreme power to restore the old traditions, to take back the land bought by the capitalists and distribute it equally to everyone, and we will popularize love and morality in the original tenant estates, so that they can collect less rent; When acquiring goods, give priority to your small handicraft industries, provide interest-free loans, and curb the power of capital; Going back to the days when land was not allowed to be bought and sold, everyone had a small piece of land to earn a living on; Dissolve the National Council and elect it, and the king shall appoint the number of seats in the Council; Open a road for small peasants and small producers to go directly to the capital to complain, and if there is any injustice, I will set up a secret police to help you deal with the landlords and capitalists.

I, my king, must transcend class and represent the interests of the real and true people. I am not on the side of the capitalists, nor on the side of the proletarians, nor on the side of the landlords and nobles, nor on the side of the tenant farmers. I only stand on the side of people's interests, to establish a republic of the people without classes and beyond classes, to hoe the strong and help the weak, we must use human love to achieve socialism, we must use traditional morality to achieve socialism, and we want to let those who collect rents too harshly and exploit too seriously be punished and morally educated, then as long as the education can keep up, socialism based on people can be realized within 20 years.

You see, the propaganda of the Mexican Party is both class and struggle, and it has a clear destructive tendency, and it has sown class rifts among the people.

As long as you don't believe in them, then classes don't exist at all.

What they say makes sense, they are also against capitalism, so in fact, it is a good thing that we are technologically backward now, so let's go directly to the bloody and dirty capitalism.

Do you think it's good?

When the hired hands, tenant farmers, and the petty bourgeoisie on the verge of bankruptcy heard this, they thought to themselves, "Isn't that good?"

You see how scary capitalism is, forcing the petty bourgeoisie to go bankrupt; The land of the tenant farmers is being bought by the operating landlords and capitalists, and they cannot survive; The hired workers are tired and half dead every day, and there is nothing, if there is a supreme king and the blue sky lord to curb these hateful cannibalistic capitals, it would be good.

Wouldn't it be nice if the land could be divided equally, the big factories restricted, the handicrafts restored in an all-round way, the mercenary merchants and capitalists curbed, the idyllic feelings restored, the great nobles and landlords had a good education and did not eat too harshly, and there was a morality and love that everyone could abide by?

As soon as these people heard this, they would get off the saddle and shout long live the empire, and push up an emperor who claims to be the arbiter, and realize the "real" "socialism" with the emperor. 129
