86_86695Is class consciousness good to establish?

It is quite interesting to say that for the establishment of class consciousness, modern society and the last years of the Ming Dynasty are just two opposite situations.

In modern society, the class consciousness of the exploiting class is stronger and clearer. The class consciousness of the exploited class is very loose. But in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the situation was reversed. The class consciousness of the exploited classes is stronger and clearer. The class consciousness of the exploiting class, on the contrary, is very loose.

Here are two examples. The first example is what Wang Shuhui saw in the 21st century, about the content of the CPPCC meeting in Guangdong. Most of the people who can become members of the CPPCC in Guangdong are local big entrepreneurs and businessmen in Guangdong. Speaking at the CPPCC meeting, they bluntly and explicitly demanded that the government do three aspects of work for them:

First, the government should help them deal with the workers, and the government should ensure that the workers are well controlled and that the workers are not allowed to make trouble.

Second, the government should provide them with more policies and economic incentives, so that banks can lend them more money. The industrial and commercial taxation department should exempt them from more taxes and fees.

Third, the government should reduce the wages of workers, or at least not require them to pay their wages in such a timely manner, so as to reduce their production costs.

The second example is a piece of social news. It's still about the Guangdong region. Specifically, a few parents who are in business organized an event. They regularly organize and lead their children to visit the mansions of top businessmen in the Guangdong region. In these mansions, they and their children communicate and make friends with the top businessmen and their children.

These two examples are examples of how the exploiting classes in modern society clearly express their own consciousness both externally and internally. On the contrary, the exploited classes of modern society, whether urban workers or peasant workers, have only one solution when faced with the oppression of the exploiting class. The main thing is to run to the top of a tall building and jump down, demonstrating with your own life.

Unlike modern society, in ancient agrarian societies, neither the exploiting class nor the exploited class was as distinct as in capitalist society. However, comparatively speaking, the composition and structure of the exploiting class is more complex.

Although in terms of the possession of the land for the means of production, they can theoretically be collectively called the feudal landlord class. Because the production relations of the ancient agricultural society were feudal land ownership. However, the relations within the feudal landlord class were also very complicated.

Bureaucratic landlords, noble landlords, military landlords, industrial and commercial landlords, and other landlords of different identities either have strict contradictions with each other, or some landlords have the identities of several landlords. Therefore, from this point of view, as the exploiting class of feudal society, their own class consciousness is relatively confused and not very clear.

Let's take Zhijiang County as an example. Zhijiang County Ling Tang Wenguang himself was born in the landlord class. However, as a government official, the contradiction between him and the large landlords in the Zhijiang area was very great. Because this involves not only a question of the right to speak, but also a question of interests.

The court wants to collect taxes, where does the tax come from? Normally it comes from the landlord. But the landlords were reluctant to pay taxes at the expense of their own interests.

In this case, the magistrates had to rely on the landlords to oppress the ordinary peasants and extort taxes from them. The landlords not only pass on the taxes on their own heads to the peasants, but also use the power of tax collection to further squeeze the peasants.

From this point of view, the landlords and the bureaucracy are both feudal landlords. However, they themselves have contradictions. Macroscopically speaking, the contradiction between the Ming government, which was composed of feudal bureaucratic landlords, and the ordinary landlords, was not small.

In feudal society, the class consciousness of ordinary peasants, poor hired peasants, yeoman peasants, and serfs of the exploited class was relatively easy to clarify.

First of all, their enemies are the same. Either ordinary landlords, or industrial and commercial landlords who were engaged in business. Or bureaucratic landlords, or landlordized officers. or a noble landlord, or a eunuch representing the emperor. All in all, those who have land and money are their enemies.

Second, the form in which they are exploited is the same. High land rents, usury rolled on donkeys, high agricultural taxes that have been passed on, and various taxes and fees imposed by governments at all levels. Although they faced different landlords, these landlords exploited them in the same way without exception.

Third, they live in the same situation. In the first 100 years of a feudal dynasty, because the ruler will take the initiative to learn from the experience of the demise of the previous dynasty. Therefore, in the early stage of a feudal dynasty, the life of ordinary people was relatively good. Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, in the era when Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, the life of the common people was obviously better than at other times.

However, at the end of the development of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and economic losses caused by foreign invasions were passed on to the people at the bottom by the landlords. Therefore, the common people become displaced people at every turn, become disaster victims at every turn, or directly rise up, which has become a norm for the exploited classes of the vast majority of feudal dynasties.

Therefore, from this point of view, the ruling class of agrarian society, that is, the feudal landlord class, is not only relatively thin in terms of quantity, but also relatively weak in terms of class consciousness.

Wang Shuhui and the Renaissance Society will only need to promote and promote the formation of the class consciousness of the exploited classes, that is, ordinary peasants, poor hired peasants, and serfs, and make clear to them the inevitability and necessity of class struggle. Gaining their support and leading them to overthrow the old society is a very simple process.

Of course, this is only theoretical. The implementation of practical work is difficult.

For example, for the Revival organization itself, many of its members lack class consciousness.

The work of building class consciousness initiated by Wang Shuhui this time began from within the Revival Association.

After detailed discussions with Meng Li, Chen Feng, and Zhang Baoshu, the Renaissance Association began to conduct briefings on the cadres at all levels from the three aspects of the party, government, and military. The three of them began to conduct a clear class education at all levels for cadres at all levels within their respective systems.

Class consciousness must be promoted by something concrete, so that it can produce good results.

Wang Shuhui sacrificed the traverser's big killer weapon for this problem and showed a movie.

One of the movies chosen by Wang Shuhui is "The White-Haired Girl" and the other is "The Chicken Crows in the Middle of the Night". These two films, "The White-Haired Girl", were edited by professionals in modern society. And "Chicken Crow in the Middle of the Night" was reshot by Wang Shuhui in modern society, spending some money and hiring a shooting team composed of film school students to reshoot it according to the background and costumes of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the reason why only these two films can be shown is that Wang Shuhui has entrusted people to set up a film production group in modern society. It is used to shoot films that reflect class contradictions in the background of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, because most of the cast and crew of these movies are school students and undesirable actors from some film studios. The directors are also two knives who are reading. So, in terms of quality, it is relatively shoddy. However, for the members of the Revival Society and ordinary people in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was quite true.

Although the members of the Revival Society have seen many amazing things. But when they saw the new shadow puppet show that Wang Shizun said, everyone was still quite surprised. Many people think that movies are something immortal and supernatural.

Fortunately, a batch of vintage cameras (19th century level) had already been trial-produced in the previous stage of the Renaissance. Therefore, everyone can still understand the movie.

The movie version of "The White-Haired Girl" has much more rendering power than the drama version of "The White-Haired Girl".

Those young cadres in the Propaganda Department of the Renaissance Army are very resistant to acting. Even if they later understand the meaning of their work, their level of education and knowledge is there. In Wang Shuhui's view, the whole drama is not as high as the level of sketches for middle school students in modern society.

Mr. Chen Qiang, known as a performance artist, really doesn't have any moisture. How hateful and evil the landlord class is, it really makes him express it vividly.

Halfway through the movie, Wang Shuhui found that Chen Feng, who was sitting next to him, was getting more and more excited. Only then did he remember that the reason why Chen Feng became a homeless was because his sister was bought by a retired official's family and killed. He avenged his sister and killed the whole family before he ran out and became an outcast.

is completely different from watching the drama version of "The White-Haired Girl", the movie version of "The White-Haired Girl" gives everyone an immersive sense of closeness and reality. When the movie first started, everyone was still excited about the novelty of the movie, and they whispered discussions with the people around them. However, as the plot of the movie unfolded, the hardships of the peasants' lives and the evil expression of the landlords and old wealth became more and more obvious, the shouts and curses began to echo in the screening hall.

Because the part that the white-haired woman turned over and was liberated was cut off. After the movie ended, most of the Revival members were like frosted eggplants, wilting and wilting.

At this time, Wang Shuhui stepped onto the podium and delivered a speech called "On Class".

In his speech, Wang Shuhui talked about the fact that from the beginning of the slave society, mankind began to enter the class society from the perspective of historical materialism. In his speech, he introduced a large number of historical materials and told everyone about the uprisings launched by countless poor people in the 2,000-year-old feudal era because of the cruelty of class exploitation.

Then, Wang Shuhui clearly told everyone what class is, what classes are in the current society, and what class contradictions are. From the perspective of class contradictions, Wang Shuhui explained to everyone that Huang Shiren's exploitation and oppression of Yang Bailao is not a separate case, but an unavoidable reality in class society.

In the end, Wang Shuhui told everyone that it was unrealistic to want to avoid countless landlords like Huang Shiren. As an exploited class, only by uniting around the Renaissance Association, an organization that stands on the standpoint of the exploited and oppressed class, seeks benefits and happiness for the exploited and oppressed people, unites the exploited people, and fights together against the landlords and old wealth of the exploiting class, can the great turnaround of the masses of the people be realized.

I have to say that these things that Wang Shuhui said are completely old-fashioned and boring things for modern people. However, in the ancient society where class contradictions were extremely acute, Wang Shuhui's clear class analysis brought an ideological impact to the members of the Revival Society.

It is not that Wang Shuhui instills class consciousness in everyone, but that class consciousness is already in the minds of the exploited class. The exploiting class of feudal society, those landlords and old wealth, are the real fools.

Their wooden heads are firmly controlled by the feudal hierarchical consciousness of Confucianism. They really think that everyone should be in their place, that the common people deserve to be exploited and oppressed, and that they, the scholars, are born to enjoy the status of the ruling class.

How can they forget that the oppressed and exploited Chinese have never believed in that set of nonsense. How could they not hear that in Daze Township 1,800 years ago, the echoing "Princes and Princes will have a kind of Xiangning!" The shouts
