The democratic system of ancient Greece, as the source of the Western democratic system, does have its advanced, excellent, and excellent places, but this system has one of the most fatal flaws!

And this defect is also the biggest reason why Li Mengyang can't copy it, that is, this system is extremely rejecting centralization!

To put it simply, the concentration of power, and the dictator, is not tolerated by this system.

Wouldn't that seem great?

Didn't Li Mengyang just want to restrict his rights? Don't you just don't want to be a dictator?

That's true, but it's too much!

Let's just say how far this system can exclude centralization, let's talk about the naval battle of Salami Bay, Li Mengyang felt very good when he watched that movie, the protagonist is called Themistocles, and he fought with that big beauty there...... Oh, that's not the point.

The key is in the back, the general Themistocles, the hero who defeated Xerxes, who later became the consul of Greece, but what happened next?

Almost ten years later, Themistocles was banished!

So why is that? Could it be that Themistocles is corrupt? Character is not good?

No, really not, he was exiled for one reason, that is, the citizens of Greece were afraid that this guy could become a dictator!

In other words, they have not yet become dictators, but these citizens have banished them.

How do you look at this, it's too much of a defense, isn't it?

In addition, Leonidas of the hot spring, that guy said what kind of monarch he was, but he was so miserable.

You can do it for two years. After two years, you will have to re-elect. And this qiē. All for one thing, to guard against dictators!

This original intention is understandable, but the means of defense are also too excessive, and this defense is magnified by the infinite superiority.

What does this lead to?

Even the heroes, even the outstanding people, these citizens of ancient Greece, they are all on guard, they are all rejecting. Or even kill them by changing the law!

Themistocles' fate is good, he was banished and died a humiliating death, and there are even more unjust deaths, such as Socrates!

Socrates, everyone knows, great, philosophers, philosophers are smart, high IQ, but how did this smart man die?

Killed by democratic voting!

It's the citizens who think the old man Socrates is very difficult. It was hard for others to talk to him, but Socrates was smart. Then he found several accusations, saying that he corrupted young people, that he was ungodly...... In the end, everyone voted.

This is the other side of democracy, the frightening side, and the most ridiculous thing about this side is that it obliterates the kind of excellent people who have a greater role in promoting the progress of society, and can also be said to be leaders!

This is ancient Greece, and it is even more obvious that ancient Rome did it.

How do you spell the word authoritarianism in the West?

CAESARISM, AND WHAT DOES THIS ROOT COME FROM?

Anyone who knows English can understand that the root word comes from a name, which is Caesar!

CAESAR, that is, this gang of citizens, nailed a person, a leader, to a pillar of shame and let future generations spit on him for thousands of years!

Ruthless or not?

Of course, there will be a lot of people who say, this is a good table, this is to prevent the emergence of dictators, but is it used so ruthlessly?

And the dictator still appeared, but he didn't prevent it!

When these historical details are sorted together, it is natural to understand why ancient Greece will finish its calves and ancient Rome will fall apart, because such a system, it is difficult to produce real leaders, without a good leader, then how can you develop well?

Moreover, this is actually the fundamental reason why Europe, which originally had such a lofty system, still entered the feudal monarchical society.

It's very simple, because the excellent, powerful individuals, that is, those heroes and leaders, they can't always be bullied by those citizens, they always have to protect themselves, just because of this, so simply, let's play monarchy, play feudalism, and establish a stricter hierarchy!

In fact, these systems are not in line with the development of history, so how can Li Mengyang directly copy these systems?

So what should Li Mengyang do?

After staying up all night, after Li Mengyang sorted out his ideas, he announced that he was going to hold an important meeting!

It's just that before this meeting, Li Mengyang first summoned Mr. Mark Twain.

"Mark, what do you think of this?"

"Your Majesty, I'm listening."

The two of them almost didn't talk nonsense, and immediately got to the point, so what method did Li Mengyang give, that is, what party to build, and how to solve this difficult problem of recruitment, what should the empire do?

"I think so, first of all, we have to speed up the legislative process, one step ahead of the legislation, and the most critical one in this legislation is to protect the property safety of all citizens! Of course, this is already there, but we want to emphasize it now, because this thing has a lot to do with it. Then we will further stipulate the relationship between rights and obligations, and the most critical step, that is, we must give a threshold, which is the right of citizens, the right to vote! ”

"The right to vote?"

When Li Mengyang said this, Mark Twain was completely attracted, because this voting right is simply too crucial, this is a sign of a democratic society, and the vote of our American Empire was done when we elected the emperor before, but that vote was 'YES' OR 'ON'!

That said, that vote wasn't too normal, and even in Mark Twain's eyes, it was all about getting Clint . Lee stole the fruits of the victory of the revolution...... Well, this is a clear-eyed man, so at that time he was not happy.

Now we have to vote in our empire. Isn't this about to move in the direction of true democracy? To know. This is true for most of the world's democracies at this time. For example, in the United Kingdom, there is a monarch, and there is a vote, a constitutional monarchy.

Well, Clint. How did Li Xià's voting power come about?

Li Mengyang's solution is this.

As citizens of the American Empire, every citizen must make a certain contribution to the country if they want to have the right to vote!

Hey, yes, it's called linking rights to obligations. What rights do you want to enjoy, what obligations do you have to fulfill, so specifically, how to get the right to vote?

The plan given by Li Mengyang is that citizens need to serve in the military!

It's as simple as exchanging military service for the right to vote, but of course, there are many details in it, such as some people who can't do military service, maybe they have a physical disability or something. That's another way, or some people are more prominent in some aspects. For example, if he is a scientist at a young age, it is also possible, but he also has to fulfill his obligations, such as not serving in the military, so he can be a volunteer social worker and other public welfare ...... Anyway, the details can be studied again, and this aspect is all a later story, and there must be a lot of work, so Li Mengyang naturally can't talk to Mark Twain in detail.

But it's a good idea!

And this is in the same vein, because when Li Mengyang was elected as emperor, it was elected by the army, but there was no one else, so it not only took care of the feelings of the army, but also implemented political reforms, which is definitely a good way!

Mark Twain felt good when he heard it, and he immediately understood the advantages of this method, which at least solved the problem of the empire's difficulty in recruiting troops.

And there is actually a problem here, and that is the problem of concept. As for the understanding of citizens, in fact, the white people nowadays, that is, people in Western society, they can easily accept it, but for us Chinese, especially those who have not been in the American Empire for a long time from the Manchu Dynasty, they are more difficult to understand.

The subjects under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, they really don't have any concept of citizenship, and this is actually a key factor in why the gap between the East and the West is so big, there are many things in it, Li Mengyang knows that he can't understand it for a while, so the most important problem now is to start the propaganda machine, and brainwash these ordinary people who don't know anything by the feudal imperial power.

We're going to wash our brains brightly, it's not a bad thing, we're washing it in a good direction, yes, then naturally we have to find this Mark Twain.

Thanks for the article, translate it into Chinese......

So, the current situation is to solve the recruitment, which is just a minor problem, right?

Yes, it's a small problem, and one of Li Mengyang's principles for governing the country is that I try to start from a small place, and I don't make too many adjustments!

But what about the problem? What kind of party is it to build?

For this question, Li Mengyang has actually thought about it.

"Civic Party! What do you think? ”

"Civic Party?"

For such a name, Mark Twain really wanted to complain, because what kind of party is it? Citizens' party?

Li Mengyang quickly said, "Yes, this is the citizen's party!" That's why it's called the Civic Party! ”

"......" Mark Twain couldn't say anything at this time, and he wasn't very old now, so he was counting it up in his heart. Is Li Xià kidding?

Not a joke, Li Mengyang quickly said how this party should be organized, specifically.

"First of all, if you want to join our Civic Party, you must have an introducer, but this is not enough, the introducer cannot be blindly introduced, they must be responsible for the person who wants to join the party, this person must be very good, and there must be a prominent appearance, and then let this person write into the party application, and then go through the party group discussion, and then go through the ......"

"......" Mark Twain listened in a fog, but he felt one thing, that is, His Majesty is going to be elite!

What is it exactly?

It's very simple, this guy Li Mengyang is copying the joining procedure of a big organization in the future, and this qiē is all for one purpose, I want to be elite!

I want all the elites of the world to gather around me! And the strata composed of these individuals can be divided and democratic!

Is this the same as a large organization? (To be continued......)
