Chapter 572: The Rabble
Human beings are quite contradictory and complex from the psychological level, and it is not correct to summarize them with a single label of "dark blue", "light blue", "dark green", and "light green".
A person may be "light blue" one second and "light green" the next, switching back and forth, full of contradictions, but there will always be a thought that prevails.
And this kind of inner contradiction naturally brings a sense of guilt towards the original civilization.
Therefore, the two parties have shouted more moral slogans, such as "go and help another human team build an additional shelter", "build another battle star", "build a high-scale neutron star collision data collector", and so on, so that people can get psychological satisfaction.
As an education expert, Lin Yingdong is a representative of the "light green" trend of thought, and he wants to formulate another series of education programs. In fact, his own mind was full of contradictions and confusion.
Although there is no need to give birth to children during the whole voyage stage, after arriving on a new planet, there is always a need to give birth to generations of next generations.
He was not satisfied with the original education system, believing that the free nature of human beings had been suppressed, and that there was no need to be as repressed in the future as before, and the education system would definitely need to be revised.
"But how exactly should it be changed?"
There must be a tight balance between the small righteousness of the individual and the general righteousness of civilization, and the original government leaned too much, and the great righteousness of civilization is really a hole in the void, and it should be corrected now. But how to correct it is a big question, and it is not right if the children who are taught to become refined egoists for the sake of their own interests, regardless of the interests of the whole civilization.
This is a very sensitive matter, and it should be decided by the ruling party, and he, as an education expert, can't actually decide so much......
On the other hand, human "freedom" is embodied in all aspects of life, including the right to vote.
There are advantages and disadvantages to democracy, depending on the quality of the citizens. This branch of human civilization believes that the quality of human citizens is sufficient to grasp "democracy".
The "Industrial Union" and the "Association for the Promotion of Democracy" are elected by popular vote.
Since they are all fairly young parties with little experience in government, the term of office for each term is temporarily five years, and at the end of the term, they can be re-elected for up to three consecutive terms...... It's all written in the Constitution.
The time period of 5 years, which is placed in the current life span of human beings, is a very short period of time, which is not quite in line with the trend of the times. There are so many big projects that can't be completed in just five years.
However, there were not many opinions. If you don't do it well, you get out, what a simple thing, people don't want to repeat the mistakes of the old government.
The only consensus reached by the two parties was to take the lead in building their own shelters.
In the vast universe, a decent shelter is a must, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the survival of 50 million people on this mothership alone...... Moreover, two neutron stars could collide a light-year away, so shelter became a priority.
During the 300-year voyage, the general legal and political framework was laid out.
When the spacecraft arrived at its real destination, everyone gave a real cheer from the bottom of their hearts, and then a banging election was held.
More than 90% of the population voted!
This is definitely a rare human election event, and no country on earth has ever had such a high percentage of people vote. There are many people who don't participate in democratic elections on the planet at all, and some people hide at home and play games, and they would rather play a game with their peers than vote.
There are many more who don't care about politics at all, they don't even know what the name of the president of their country is, let alone run out to vote......
This grand occasion shows that the personal quality of citizens, including personal quality, is indeed high to a certain extent!
The first party to be elected to power was called the "Industrial Union", the party that declared that it would "build a great sanctuary".
In addition to the work goals, the new government has also promulgated a series of social systems, such as the eight-hour work week, universal medical care, and the promotion of spiritual civilization.
One of the most important measures is that each person can work a maximum of eight hours and no more than 40 hours a week.
This decision was well received by the public.
It is precisely because of the endless overtime that the masses have fled from the original civilization. Now, it deserves the right to rest. As for the rest of the policies, they are also quite reasonable.
The Industrial Union Party was in power for two terms.
Ten years of time......
"The provision of shelters for 50 million people is complete."
Next, the new government wants to build a large shelter for another 40 million people, that is, a large structure that will help humans build a light year away.
After all, this is the original slogan, the basis of public opinion, the commanding heights of morality, whether useful or useless, can not be easily abandoned. Once abandoned, morally, it will be spurned by the people.
"But the time of the decade has come, and the day of the election has come."
"The third vote began with a bang, and the industrial union party still had the same slogan, and all the policies were slightly adjusted. They thought that all the plans would go ahead and that the people would support them and complete all the works...... Then get moral satisfaction. ”
"That's what they really think in their hearts."
As a result, at this time, another opposition party, the "Association for the Promotion of Democracy", delivered a fatal blow!
The Association for the Promotion of Democracy (CDP) was very clever and did not reject the proposal to build another shelter, but argued......
"Another shelter is not an urgent need, so why should we build it in a hurry?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still a long time ahead, and there is no need for us to be as urgent as building our own shelters."
The "Association for the Promotion of Democracy" put forward a bill for a six-hour work week for the whole people!
They believe that six hours of work for one person is enough to meet the needs of society as a whole and to be able to make social progress.
Because some developed countries on the earth have also implemented a six-hour work system, the effect is quite good, which is quite operable.
"On the other hand, they claim that a six-hour work is more liberal for human beings. Six hours of dedicated work can achieve far more than eight hours – if you focus on your work! ”
"And it is also planned to build this additional shelter more luxuriously and more massively!"
"Even, they want to build a large-scale data transmission device to report the current good life to people 1 light year away: Compatriots, you see, we have prepared a place for you to rest, we are not idle, we are not deserters!"
What a beautiful slogan!
The former ruling party, the United Party of Industry, began to look chaotic under this abrupt onslaught, because the program soon became popular with the masses and gained enormous influence.
These two young parties began the first ...... in the history of civilization Compete!
