Chapter 243: Xiao Wenlong's Awakening 3
The concept of distribution according to work is in fact a concept that corresponds to the concept of exploitation of surplus value. γReading.comγ
From the standpoint of ordinary people, the concept of distribution according to work means that how much work you have done, how much work you have done, and the value generated by the work you have done and what you have done will belong to you, the laborer.
The distribution system of distribution according to work is in opposition to the capitalist system of exploitation.
In a capitalist society, the laborer must accept the exploitation of the surplus value of the capitalists. In other words, the vast majority of the value created by a laborer is taken away by the capitalist. In a socialist society, because of the public ownership of the means of production, the value created by the laborer, with the exception of a part of it that must be paid to the state as the cost of running the state, most of his income from production belongs to him.
The system of distribution according to work is a very unreasonable thing for the exploiters of feudal society and for the exploiters of capitalist society.
In the eyes of these people, the land, the implements, the cattle, the plant, the machinery, and even the laborers themselves are their things, and all the value generated by these things should belong to them. The laborers eat them, wear them, live in them, and use them, and the laborers themselves should belong to them. Then the value generated by the laborer's labor should naturally belong to them.
The system of exploitation has existed for thousands of years from the beginning of the slave society to the present, and it would not have been possible for such a thing to stand for so long without a certain degree of rationality in itself. But the system of exploitation, whether in a slave society, a feudal society, or a capitalist society, inevitably produces periodic internal contradictions that it cannot resolve by itself.
The rebellion of the slave society, the change of dynasty in the feudal society, and the economic crisis in the capitalist society are all the processes of reshuffling that naturally arise after the irrationality of the exploitation system has accumulated to a certain stage and after the society has developed to a certain stage. If the system of exploitation is really as happy and intact as the rulers themselves proclaim, how could the slave society evolve into a feudal society, and how did the feudal society evolve into a capitalist society?
The reason why the idea of new scientific socialism came into being is also because the cyclical contradictions of capitalism itself have been reshuffling the cards of capitalist society internally, and in the case of periodic crises, advanced thinkers have found a way to resolve these cyclical contradictions after summing up their experiences and lessons.
You must know that the exploitation system is advanced and creative in a certain historical period. However, once it is unable to adapt to the development of the productive forces, various crises that periodically erupt will directly threaten and destroy human society itself.
The new and advanced social systems and theories of thought are not carried out because of the personal hatred of the people who created and explored these social systems and theories towards the old ones and theories of thought and thought.
For that reason, it is often the rebels who are produced. And only for such pure and definite reasons as solving the fundamental problems of the development of human society can a real revolutionary be produced.
Although Xiao Wenlong doesn't care much about how his family's income is generated. How did his father, a great good man, give birth? However, as the son of a landlord and a member of the feudal ruling class, even though Xiao Wenlong has always made a living by practicing medicine, he still instinctively feels uncomfortable with Yan Aihua's views.
After working in his new post for a week, he approached Yan Aihua, the political commissar of the labor camp guard, on his day off to ask him about his problems.
At this time, Xiao Wenlong had already figured out why he was dissatisfied with the distribution system according to work that Yan Aihua said. He felt that the landlords were also born from among the people. The landlord was able to become a landlord from a commoner by a little accumulation. From this point of view, the landlord is also the means of production obtained through labor. In this way, the exploitation of the hired peasants by the landlords was justified.
As the third batch of party members to join the Renaissance Society, Yan Aihua learned the theoretical knowledge in the Renaissance Society, and what shocked him the most was the education of the Renaissance Society on the theory of historical materialism. It was through historical materialism that Yan Aihua truly clarified the advanced and revolutionary nature of the Renaissance Society. It was through the study of political economy that Yan Aihua's thinking rose from a personal hatred of the landlord and the old wealth to a critical understanding of the entire class society.
The understanding of the party members of the Fuxing Association on the old wealth of the landlord was constantly improved with the practice of Wang Shuhui in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, Wang Shuhui occasionally had an interest in curing diseases and saving people from the feudal landlord class. But the reality ruthlessly educated Wang Shuhui and the party members of the Revival Association.
With the exception of a few, or very few, number of enlightened landowners, who were able to accept the ideas of the Revival Society and chose to transform from agricultural landlords to industrial capitalists. The vast majority, or 99 percent of the landlords, are as incomprehensible as diamonds.
They believe that the greatest truth in the world is their truth, and the truest truth in the world is their truth. They did not accept such a good thing as the Revival Society's open-minded and benevolent proposal of land for machinery, land for technology, and land for capital, which is really beneficial to them and can immediately make them more money.
Therefore, today, both Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Association believe that the vast majority of landlords and old wealth have no possibility of being saved, educated, and transformed.
Yan Aihua used to work in the land reform team. For him, he originally resisted and reformed one by one with a sense of revenge (there are only two ways out for the landlords of the Revival Society, one is to accept the help of the Revival Association and hand over the land to open a factory. One is to honestly accept land reform. The landlords and the local tyrants and gentry were hung on the gallows.
But after doing more work like this, he also began to think about it. Obviously, the landlords and old fortunes knew that if they accepted the transformation and became industrial capitalists, they could immediately obtain huge benefits. They were unwilling to accept such a good thing, but they wanted to be the enemy of the Revival Society, the enemy of the people, and finally hanged. He couldn't figure out what it was for.
Yan Aihua's question was only understood after he participated in Wang Shuhui's cadre training course before he obtained his primary school graduation certificate and stepped into the cadre post.
He still remembers that when Mr. Wang talked about the progress of human beings in class, he said, "Human beings have lived a life of wool and blood for a long time in primitive society. By chance, humans obtained their burned prey in forest fires and found that what was roasted tasted better than what was not cooked. In this case, it took a long time to practice before humans invented the method of artificial fire to process food. β
"Today, we have mastered all kinds of ways to make fire, and we have invented all kinds of ways to process food, and now when we look at our ancestors who drank blood, we have no way of understanding what they did at that time. Our blood-drinking ancestors also did not understand our lives today. β
"By the same token, the students here are all primary school graduates. Before you were in elementary school, you didn't understand that data can be processed in such a simple and convenient way as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Now, when you look at the illiterate people who don't have any culture, you will think that what they are doing is unreasonable. And the illiterate people who are not educated will not be able to accept the process of data processing that you can do quickly. They will instinctively think that you are lying to them, that you are lying. This is the difference between progress and backwardness. β
"The world is always changing. Society is always evolving. Humanity is always improving. Just as primitive societies must be replaced by slave societies, slave societies must be replaced by feudal societies, and feudal societies must be replaced by more advanced scientific societies. The progressive will definitely replace the backward, and the backward will be eliminated. This is just like the Qin State that uses iron weapons will definitely unify the six countries, and those human beings who refuse to accept progress will definitely be eliminated and replaced. β
It was in that class that Yan Aihua figured out all his doubts at once. Backwardness and progress, this is why although Mr. Wang is affectionate and warm to every party member and every ordinary person, all cadres and the masses will have a feeling that Mr. Wang is a majestic and inviolable person.
The Fuxing Society was more advanced than all other organizations in the Ming Dynasty, so the members of the Fuxing Society could not understand the court officials and landlords. And the most advanced person in the revival association is Mr. Wang, who will naturally give people the feeling of standing in the sky and looking down on all beings.
After Yan Aihua took the training course, his whole person's understanding of the world has been improved. He no longer looked at the landlord and the old wealth purely from the perspective of personal feelings. Because he knows that these backward and ignorant people are not able to understand the advanced and progressive ideas and theories at all, and they are the garbage of the old era that is destined to be eliminated by social progress.
Since then, Yan Aihua's temperament has also begun to become focused and calm, quiet and peaceful. He has developed a rational thinking about the world. He has taken on a new perspective.
Yan Aihua was transferred from the land reform working group to the military system and became the political commissar of the armed guard of the labor camp. He also began to become calm and quiet in the face of the landlords and old wealth. In dealing with the suicide of illegal religious elements, he was able to explain to the soldiers of the guard in an objective manner that this group of people had chosen the path of suicide because they could not correctly understand the process of social progress and because they were eliminated by social progress and had despair.
His orderly and calm attitude of explaining the reasons to the fighters really made those young fighters very impressed. After all, reason is more convincing than emotion. Space-Time Gate 1619
