Chapter 534 Poverty Alleviation Starts with Moving the Capital
Chapter 534 Poverty alleviation starts with moving the capital
Luffy: With hope and passion, they continue to sail towards the second half of the great voyage.
With this "Blue Pufferfish", their trip will undoubtedly become smoother, happier and safer.
And the revolutionary army got what it wanted.
It's just that they ran into some trouble when they landed on the island, Luffy and they haven't been on the island for a week, and the whole island is like an ownerless thing, inhabited by a group of slave catchers who used to beg for a living in the Chambord Islands.
When these slave catchers were cleaned up, the revolutionary army still wasted some of its skills.
They were no match for the revolutionary army in terms of firepower or combat effectiveness, and they were easily taken down by the revolutionary army, but for the sake of not doing evil, the revolutionary army did not kill them, but only captured them and re-educated them, and then threw them on the Chambord Islands, and they did not have time to deal with the prisoners in the next matter.
Their task was very difficult, first of all, to drive the three huge islands back to the headquarters of the revolutionary army, the island of Gaya.
Now the island of Gaya has some rudiments of the capital: almost swallowing the surrounding resources and funds, a large number of resources come to the island of Gaya for trade, in fact, what they want is not policy support, but the credibility and deterrence of a big government.
Why does socialism understand capital better than capitalism (in terms of serving the people), because it can concentrate on doing great things, and capital is no bigger than the economies of the four major countries, unless there is a real super transnational group, but this super transnational capital itself is a huge paradox: if they do not have the national armed forces behind them, their capital will be slaughtered as pigs by the regime of that country wherever it goes.
If they want to protect themselves by force, then they are the state, they are the regime, and they have to provide welfare guarantees, pensions, medical care and other benefits for the citizens below.
In terms of the course of history, capitalism has reached the limit of what it can reach, which is what Fukuyama calls the end of history.
It is only the end of the capitalist process, not the end of the course of human history.
Taking the lighthouse as the historical process of mankind is the thinking of the Muqiangists mentioned many times in the book, believing that everything is right for the strong, and everything that the strong do is naturally righteous and justifiable.
But after a terrible plague, it is natural for everyone to understand the power and terror of the strong and the catastrophic consequences of extinction when he chooses to be alone, chooses to be indifferent to the suffering of the weak, and puts his hands on the economic benefits generated by the suffering of the weak.
We've all seen it and experienced it for ourselves.
What about the four percent of people who are infected? What about the death of two percent of those infected?
It is meaningless at all, and the capitalist countries that have not broken the four olds themselves have a strong selfish and egoistic character, and no one will think that they have been smashed until a grain of sand of the times falls on their heads.
After being hit, the dead person has no way to speak, and even if two percent of the deceased's family members think that more than eight relatives and friends can help him speak out, what waves can they make?
Not to mention that all media outlets are occupied by interest groups who publish your voice for their own benefit, and if the voice does not match their interests, they will simply block your voice – even the most powerful people on the planet cannot resist the forces of shielding and harmony.
Others are even less so.
They certainly don't need to spread rumors, they just need to push selective voices into your ears.
Therefore, at this time, if there is to be a confrontation of capital between countries, how can the capitalist state fight and confront the social state?
How can they carry out a confrontation between state capitals when they can't even handle their own internal affairs?
In the future, the island of Gaya can be turned into a production base, a breeding base, a fortress and a special economic zone.
But it cannot be turned into the capital of the revolutionary army.
The revolutionary army can build its own capital with all kinds of resources, but it does not want to become the kind of capital that swallows the surrounding resources, with strong backbones and weak branches.
In this case, moving the capital to an island where it can be moved, floating on the sea for a long time, is even conducive to the development of poor and impoverished areas.
Those merchants would instinctively chase the location of the capital of the revolutionary army, try to sell their goods to the revolutionary army, try to provide quality services to the families of the officials of the capital of the revolutionary army to obtain money, and try to win the attention and favor of the officials with extravagant goods and novelties to gain an advantage in intelligence.
These merchants will become a swarm of flies chasing the mobile capital of the revolutionary army.
And they will inject vitality into the capital of the revolutionary army, and wherever the capital of the revolutionary army stops, the merchants will be injected with vitality, and the merchants will naturally think about why the capital is coming to this place, and what is so strange about such a place.
Even without the need for the revolutionary army to pay for it themselves, the businessmen would pay to turn the local area upside down, find local business opportunities and make a lot of money, and help the local ordinary people get rid of poverty.
This is a completely irreproducible path out of poverty, but it is in line with the current national conditions of the pirate world.
When these three large mobile ships were still slowly approaching the island of Gaya, the headquarters of the revolutionary army, in the middle of the great route, another huge steamship like a steel city had already arrived in the sea near the headquarters of the revolutionary army one step ahead of schedule.
It was so huge, almost like a city on the sea, slowly approaching the revolutionary army.
This is one of the Seven Martial Seas, the flagship of the Golden Emperor Tezzoro, the Golden Tezzoro.
This huge city with gold has the most complete drainage system, damage management system, monitoring system, and urban management planning system in the world, which is not the credit of Tezzoro, but the absolute top technology tree piled up by money, even the Draco people are not so bold, because the Draco people do not have to worry about survival, they do not need to be armed and moved, and they do not need to think about so many situations, so their lives are luxurious and single.
But this flagship of Tezzoro undoubtedly has not only the ability to move, but also the ability to defend, the ability to fight, and then the ability to provide consumption to the whole world.
When his flagship drove near the headquarters of the revolutionary army, all the merchants who were doing business on the island of Gaya went crazy.
