Chapter 159: Smallholder Consciousness

Tempting sharks, since everyone knows about it, there is nothing to hide, it's nothing more than getting some flesh and blood! Throw it into the sea, and then hang a few pieces of stinky meat on the side of the boat.

The seven scum who betrayed their compatriots were tied and hung on the side of the ship, waiting for the sharks to come and smell the blood, and then cut their feet a few times, and then put them into the sea little by little, so that the bloody sharks could eat them from their feet to their heads, and this way of death was already very merciful to them.

Gao Hongsheng didn't bother to listen to their screams, so he directly asked people to block their mouths, as for watching, it's better to skip it, it is estimated that he can't sleep well after watching the scene for a few days and nights, so he won't be stupid and come to watch it.

After listening to his arrangement, the others were frightened and moved away from the side of the ship where those scum were hanging, and turned to the other side to watch Gao Hongsheng deal with the remaining people.

The rest of the people are the ones who fight in the nest, although they will not die, Gao Hongsheng is not ready to spare them.

The result of their fight was the death of six people, and all six of them were beaten to death, and you can imagine how miserable it was to be beaten to death by a bunch of unarmed men.

The reason why the crime does not deserve death is because everyone did it at that time, and it is not clear whether they beat those unlucky people to death.

But it doesn't matter, Gao Hongsheng doesn't intend to pursue these conformists, he just wants to put those few leaders out alone, and the purpose of proposing it is simple, that is, to simply kill them.

These people are the source of the trouble, and if one of them had understood the word "compromise", it would not have happened, as it is now.

But these really can't blame them, they are all farmers, they were some landless farmers before they came to Beijing, in their concepts there are few mutual compromises, let alone do not know how to listen to the needs of other teams, and then negotiate conditions with the boss, they are a plate of loose sand, a plate of loose sand, a plate of scattered sand.

They have not yet gone through the baptism of big industry, and they have no idea that there are still people in this world who unite and have the same demands to resist together, and they have only learned a truth under thousands of years of feudal education, people do not destroy heaven and earth for themselves.

Their vision is only limited to their own one-third of an acre, they have been enslaved, they do not even dare to make the most basic upward demands, only dare to do black hands on their own compatriots, just to make their own group live better under the oppression of darkness, but they have never thought of uniting together to resist the chains imposed on them.

Teamwork, collaboration, collectivity, compromise, these are words that can only be experienced in large-scale industrial production, which they have not even heard of now.

They are a group of landless peasants who have left their hometowns to go to the flowery world of Shangjing, and they all have the narrow "peasant consciousness" in their bones.

The "peasant consciousness" here is, in modern parlance, "smallholder consciousness".

What does "smallholder consciousness" mean?

The small-scale peasant economy is the economic foundation of traditional Chinese society, popular for thousands of years, this economic form binds farmers to a fixed land, and the land becomes their foundation, so that their thinking and concepts are closely linked to their own small piece of land.

This close relationship has caused those negative thinking in their thinking concepts, such as not wanting to forge ahead, sticking to conventions, being rigid and conservative, selfish, narrow-minded and cowardly, and so on.

This is a mindset that inevitably arises in a closed social environment, which basically cannot be changed, and the only way to change it is to talk about the closed social environment to break it or let them get out of that closed social environment.

It's not that "smallholder consciousness" is really bad, but it still has a good side in itself.

For example: hard-working, perseverance, small wealth is peace, mutual assistance and mutual benefit, sympathy for the weak, diligence and thrift, and so on.

At the same time, it also has a lot of negative things, closed and conservative, fighting for profit, attacking and calculating, cowardly character, etc., plus there is a strong sense of land, blood, local consciousness and so on, which affect the big teamwork.

The reason why there was no Socialist Party in ancient China was that this "small peasant consciousness" was rooted in people's bones.

During the Qing Dynasty, the overall structure of China was still an agrarian economy, so this "small peasant mentality" spread throughout the whole society.

The "small-scale peasant consciousness" is embodied in the human aspect, that is, "narrow-mindedness" means that they cannot stand accusations, even well-intentioned jokes, cannot get along with others on an equal footing, and always have to be superior to others at every turn, and even have to ride on the heads of others to be comfortable.

The strange combination of "cowardly" conceit and inferiority, arrogant when proud, the second and third of the earth, as if the world is under his control, the simple point is that the ambition becomes rampant. When you are frustrated, it is just the opposite, you are discouraged, you are depressed, the sky is falling, you call everyone Daddy, you look like a slave, and you almost lick other people's buttocks.

"Greed" endless greed, greed without a bottom line, whether it is wealth or sex, can not stop their greed at all, full of greed for money, power, fame, etc., once no one cares, then greed can not be stopped from swelling.

Well! Now many high-level corrupt officials who are imprisoned and the CEOs of large state-owned enterprises are all rural children when they were children, that is, they have been educated by the party for so many years, but the "small peasant consciousness" in their thinking still remains even now.

This kind of "small peasant consciousness" was even more common in the Qing Dynasty, and even in the Republic of China, it still remained among the upper class of society.

For example, Wang Jingwei, who surrendered to the Japanese, is a typical expression of small-scale peasant consciousness, a form of "cowardice".

That President Jiang even had that "small peasant consciousness" in his bones, and the feudal ideology of the family and the world directly led to the shattering of his dream of ruling China.

Not to mention our great revolutionary pioneer Mr. Sun, I feel that the words "greedy" and "narrow-minded" are applied to him, and if he could be like Washington, China would probably be different.

There are also those warlords from all walks of life who were mixed up during the Republic of China, and the "small peasant consciousness" in their bones is no less than ours, and they are basically causing trouble in China.

In a China where there is no big industry, there is only an innate "small peasant consciousness", what do you ask Gao Hongsheng to do with these people?
