Chapter 346: Liu Eryi's Labor Reform Career 7
The lives of the common people, the lives of the ruling class and the exploited class, have never changed in thousands of years of Chinese history. [Full text reading]
The ruled and the poor are equated. This was true both in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty and in modern China hundreds of years later.
The living conditions of the common people are indeed constantly improving with the development of society. However, this kind of improvement is based on the development and progress of the productive forces. In the distribution of social resources, the proportion of resources owned by the masses of the people has not increased relatively, but has decreased absolutely.
In fact, the more capitalist the social relations of production, the more all things with the characteristics of resources enter the mode of market distribution, and the masses of the people in a disadvantaged position will have less social resources to occupy.
For example, compared with ancient people, when women did not enter the distribution channels of social resources as social resources, even if the form of polygamous marriage was adopted in feudal society, the vast majority of ordinary people could still get the opportunity to get married and have children.
However, in modern China, which is fully capitalized and marketized, because all the people and things with resource significance have entered the field of distribution of social resources, in modern China with a market economy with optimal allocation of resources, things like getting married and having children have even begun to stay away from ordinary people.
Don't think such words are alarmist nonsense. As early as the mid-nineteenth century, Mr. Ma clearly pointed out in the "Manifesto":
"The bourgeoisie has destroyed all feudal, patriarchal and pastoral relations where it has gained domination. It ruthlessly severed the feudal fetters that bound people to natural superiority, and it made people have no other connection with each other except the naked interests, except for the ruthless "cash transaction". ”
"It drowns the sacred onset of these sentiments in the zealous citizens of the religious pious knights, drowning in the icy waters of self-interested intentions. It transforms human dignity into exchange value, replacing countless concessions and self-earned freedoms with a conscienceless freedom of trade. All in all, it replaces exploitation concealed by religious and political fantasies with open, shameless, direct, and explicit exploitation. ”
Since all human beings exist in capitalist society as means of production, as social resources. Then, according to the principle of market economy of optimal allocation of resources, the masses of the people who do not hold the power of social resources and resource distribution cannot marry wives, and the ruling class and vested interest groups who control the power of social resources and resource distribution can occupy women as social resources with one milk, two wives, three wives, and even infinite milk, which is an inevitable process.
That is to say, even in a modern society with the great development of the social productive forces, although the material living standards of the laborers and the masses of the people have improved along with the development of the productive forces, the relations of production are still under different names, but the essence is the same as that of exploitation and class antagonism, and the position and situation of the masses of the people of the ruled class, who account for the overwhelming majority of society, will not change at all.
It is precisely because of such a fundamental reason, just like in modern society, if you tell the workers who live in leaky shacks, whose children can't go to school, who cry and mess around, and eat cabbage stew all day long, that they are the ruling class of a country, they will laugh at you and ridicule you without any doubt.
In the environment of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, hearing Wang Shuhui, a member of the Baath Party who had elite soldiers and strong generals in his hands and countless resources in his hands, told these people who had changed from poor people to displaced people, and from displaced people to labor reforms, that organizations like the Ba'ath Party were of the same mind as them, and they naturally would not believe it.
Wang Shuhui propagated the purpose and ideas of the Baath Party to them, and he himself knew that these words must be put into practice in order for these people to truly agree with and understand them.
Wang Shuhui knew that the reason why these people were stunned together with their mouths half open was not because they were surprised by the content of the Baath Party's concept of establishing a new world in which workers are the masters of their own affairs. The reason why they were stunned and surprised was that the Baath Party was going to fight against all the rich and powerful people in the world. This kind of content is what makes them scary.
A person organizes a political party one by one, and it doesn't matter what he says. The common people may be fooled by nonsense for a while, but if you want to fool the common people for a lifetime, it is delusional.
It doesn't matter how you say it, but how you do it does. The eyes of the masses of the people are the brightest. They don't listen to what a person, an organization, or a political party says, but they do keep a close eye on what that person, organization, and political party do in practice.
Wang Shuhui demanded that when the Baath Party is carrying out grassroots work, it must directly and clearly convey the purpose and ideas of the Ba'ath Party to the masses, but his purpose is not to make the people believe in the Ba'ath Party through propaganda means. He wanted the masses of the people to establish a basic understanding of the Ba'ath Party. After that, the Baath Party will take practical actions to make the masses believe in themselves, identify with them, and support them.
Dissecting sparrows is a method that Wang Shuhui likes very much. She is also a working method that needs to be mastered by all levels of the Ba'ath Party. Talking about the truth and singing high-profile is not the way to solve the problem and the attitude. The working method of dissecting sparrows tells Wang Shuhui that only by analyzing the small things and specific things around him in simple terms can he get the real situation.
The same is true for ideological and political work. Wang Shuhui wanted to lead these 80 labor camp personnel to dissect the sparrows together and let them know how the people under the rule of the Baath Party are the masters of their own affairs.
"Our Baath Party has a rule, but this rule is not available in the imperial court, nor is it in the rebellious King Shan."
After the mood of the labor reform personnel in this class calmed down a little, Wang Shuhui continued.
"This rule of our Baath Party is called the people's representative system. What's the deal with this rule? That is to say, in all the factories, units, and transactions of our Ba'ath Party, as long as there is a decision to be made by this specific unit, the people's representatives must participate. ”
"Then someone has to ask, what is the matter with this people's representative? O people's representatives, these are us poor brothers, people who work. Everyone who works in this unit, in this place, is eligible to be elected as a representative of the people. ”
"Let's use an analogy. For example, our class. Soon we will have to elect a self-management committee, the Labor Camp Self-Management Council, the equivalent of a soldiers' committee within the Baath Army. All the people in our class must participate in the election work, and everyone has the qualifications to be elected. In other words, among the 80 people in our class, everyone must be elected, and everyone is eligible to be elected. ”
"This election is true for our Baath Party organization, but we have no interference in these matters in terms of who is elected as a member of the Self-Management Committee and who wants to participate in this election to be elected. It's up to everyone to choose. Anyone who wants to be a member of the self-management committee can be a candidate. It is up to everyone to decide who they want to elect as a member of the self-management committee. ”
"So everyone has to ask, what is this self-management committee for? That's because we're going to have a subsidy in the labor camp right away. Although everyone was punished and became a labor camper, and although everyone could not be paid, everyone could not work for us in vain. We, the Ba'ath Party, are going to give subsidies to everyone. The money for this subsidy is to be selected by the members of the self-management committee to participate in the work of settling accounts and distributing them. ”
"You see, even in the class of our small labor camp, we Baath Party members must insist that the people be the masters of their own affairs. No matter what we do in the Ba'ath Party, we must let the masses of the people participate in and supervise it. ”
Of course, this is also the reason why we in the Ba'ath Party insist that everyone learn culture and learn knowledge. Let's talk about the matter of the self-management committee, if you don't have the knowledge of arithmetic and the ability to read and write, then how can you know if your money is right or not, and how can you supervise the work of our Baath Party? ”
