No. 049 Moderately Prosperous Crisis (2)

"In the era of agriculture, 99 percent of the people were hovering at the subsistence and clothing line, and 99 million people stood up in 100 million miles, and everyone united to fight the landlords. With the development www.biquge.info of the productive forces today, the middle class is expanding day by day, and the disposable income is above the average, and they may deep down desire to be equal to the capitalists, but they are not willing to be equal to the poor in the absolute sense, because there is no profit to share. ”

"With the improvement of material living conditions, the dividing line between rich yeoman farmers and poor peasants has become increasingly clear, just as in the early feudal dynasty, redistribution solved the problem of land annexation, which led to an increase in the number of homesteaders, and then formed a harmonious and stable force that hated turmoil; Today's middle class, that is, the yeoman farmers who were allocated land in the early days of the feudal dynasty, are all vested interests in a sense, so they should not be revolutionary, but reform. ”

"As productivity increases, the exploitation of capital becomes more inclined towards the exploitation of the machine, and the number of the middle class multiplies rapidly. The middle class wants to reform and not revolution, the proportion of the middle class and the pseudo-middle class is as high as 200 million li 300 million, and the communists shout that they will equal share the wealth of the capitalists, but the middle class is bound to disdain you, and then they will be able to unite only 100 million people in absolute significance, while the enemy will be able to gather 200 million middle class, and the revolutionaries will not only be at a financial disadvantage, but also at a numerical disadvantage. Therefore, as long as the rulers of the country do not take the initiative to destroy the middle class and make it impossible for a large number of them to fall below the average line or even to survive in dignity, the communists can no longer use revolutionary theory to attract the middle class, which is in fact seriously exploited. ”

"Why is it that consciously speaking communism from the standpoint of the people is widely opposed by public opinion?"

"Because the mainstream force of society is the middle class, because communist theory cannot benefit the middle class, because the middle class has become so large that it has crushed the poor in the absolute sense, because the structure of people's wealth has changed."

"Speaking of which, is there a sense of déjà vu of historical reproduction?"

"In the agricultural era, yeoman farmers were the stabilizing force of the feudal dynasty, land annexation was out of balance, and peasants rebelled and changed dynasties; In the industrial age, the middle class was the stabilizing force of the industrial dynasty, the capital was out of balance, and the proletarians rebelled and changed the dynasty. The middle class became the yeoman farmers of the new era, while communism was reduced to a peasant uprising that violently mediated the annexation of capital. ”

"This is by no means the communism I want."

"I believe that communism will not die, socialism will not die."

"But we have to change the way."

"Communism must not be reduced to the idea that it can only be revived in the great crisis of capital mergers, it should be a greater social relationship in absolute significance that transcends the exploitation of capital. I believe that true communism does not have to wait for the capitalist government to kill itself, but rather completely crushes capitalist social relations with a mighty force. ”

Wen Xin's arguments are both in favor and against.

Wen Xin also believes that liberal kingdom-style liberalism should not be hostile to the middle class, let alone make the middle class fearful.

In the new liberal style, the goal of struggle has never been the middle class.

Wen Xin prefers to transcend the middle class.

Wen Xin didn't agree with Yu Zhihong's point of view very much, but listened to her quietly, not because of politeness, but because of the rashness of his past youth.

As far as Wen Xin is concerned, Yu Zhihong's views are not new, as early as the underground organization of faith perfection established by Wen Xin and his comrades in the earth era, a group member named Zhu Xi had just been introduced by the old group member Yang Dian to join, and he sensationally shouted out the big vision of communism, saying: "In the early days of Marx and Engels, such as the 1842 "General Report on Communism and Augsburg" and the 1843 "Progress of the Social Reform Movement on the Mainland", they used socialism as a synonym for communism, and later felt that communism was too far away. Only then will socialism be placed in the transitional stage. The times are developing, we don't have to stick to the old rules of more than 100 years ago, and the transition stage should be more refined. To put it mildly, the middle-class government can also be seen as a transition from capitalism to communism, and our communism is not hostile to and exterminating the middle class, but using the state apparatus to restrain the evil of big capital and small capitalists, and bring everyone to the life of the middle class and even the life of small capitalists. ”

The Faith Completion Organization is a group of political fanatics who are neither satisfied with capitalism nor existing socialism, and unreliable delusions abound.

It's a pity that it was the turn of tens of billions of national experiments, and Wen Xin found that the reality was very skinny.

Xiangzhou has developed rapidly for a hundred years, and the internal contradictions are slightly similar to those of China on Earth, and the delusions of the Faith Completion Organization collide with reality from time to time, which makes Wen Xin feel nostalgic.

However, it is limited to nostalgia.

Yu Zhihong didn't know that Wen Xin's confusion about communism and socialism did not stem from the chaotic situation in the Xiangzhou People's Republic.

The Seven Star Empire is the foundation of Wen Xin.

Wen Xin's confusion is also in the Seven Star Empire.

Twenty years ago, controlled nuclear fusion came out of the laboratory to officially replace the backward thermal power generation and hydropower generation, and with the increasingly common intelligent machines, it has opened a magnificent new industrial era. It is expected that a large number of agricultural intelligent machines and a large number of industrial intelligent machines will sweep the land of the Seven Star Empire, and human beings will bid farewell to tedious and repetitive labor. Wen Xin was pleased with the advent of controlled nuclear fusion, and the world speech happily announced: "The Seven Star Empire has officially bid farewell to the era of hunger today, and no longer has to run for basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation." ”

Wen Xin originally believed that great material abundance was a prerequisite for communism, and that the communist movement would usher in a new upsurge in a new society brought about by the controllable nuclear fusion energy revolution.

However, Wen Xin was wrong.

Wen Xin never imagined that the revolutionary progress of the productive forces would instead set off the countdown to the collapse of the people's social state.

Why?

Because the people are not willing to work anymore.

I go to work to earn money to support my family, and if I can get food, clothing, shelter and transportation for free, who Tema still pretends that her grandson is angry with her boss.

On the day of Wen Xinjie's speech, the Seven Star Empire ushered in an unprecedented turnover rate, with the unemployment rate soaring from 13.2% to 13.7%. However, this is only the beginning of the nightmare, with the confirmation of the welfare conditions of the well-off era and the comprehensive transformation of intelligent machine factories, the unemployment rate is reaching a new high day by day, with an unemployment rate of 34.7% eighteen years ago; Ten years ago, the unemployment rate was 76.4%; The latest statistics for this year show an unemployment rate of 97.8%. In other words, out of 1,000 working-age workers, 978 chose to resign. Although many of those who left the job turned to hobbies, the unemployment rate was still as high as a staggering 47.4 percent, even if even raising flowers and gardening was considered a part-time job.

The era of moderate prosperity has sadly become an era of great unemployment.

Wen Xin is prepared for resignation, and there have been a series of public opinion surveys before the well-off era, and the survey data shows that only one in ten employees choose to resign and start a business.

How can you deceive people like this?

What if you say yes and don't resign?

Can't you trust face-to-face surveys?

Where does the trust between people go?

Who would have thought that beautiful data on paper would be a bunch of false lies.

If you think about it, this matter is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.

Who would have thought that the wave of resignations would come so violently?

Capitalism is the dominant welfare state, and if you resign, you will resign, and anyway, it will be a mobile society, and it is a big deal to close the door and reduce production. The People's Communes, accustomed to the planned economy and the state-owned enterprise economy, were immediately overwhelmed by the wave of resignations, and their economic networks were linked one after another, and they were bloated in order to deliberately reduce the unemployment rate. Initially, the People's Society, with the dedication of the state as a call, effectively stopped the rise in the unemployment rate, and the official unemployment rate in the first five years of the moderately prosperous era was only 3.7%. However, it is impossible for the citizens of the People's Commune countries to watch the citizens of other countries go to the era of dreams without work, and they themselves have to work in consecutive shifts to make up for the slackness of work. In the second to three years, the 14th Administrative Prefecture Bibang Socialist Republic took the lead in breaking out the "Protest Against Forced Labor", which shocked the overthrow of the current government and radically abandoned the communist socialist road; The other DPR of Jiaobang in the 1st Administrative Prefecture, the Socialist Republic of Di Bang in the 3rd Administrative Prefecture, the Democratic Republic of Niu Bang in the 9th Administrative Prefecture, and the Lou Bang People's Republic in the 16th Administrative Prefecture also followed suit, and the people took to the streets to oppose forced labor.

The crisis is not limited to labor or not.

In a state where capitalism is the main welfarist side, the middle and upper classes have long ceased to work to fill their stomachs, and tens of billions of billions of family assets are enough for them to spend their lives with nothing to do. Except for a few who are forced to struggle to maintain the profits of the industry, the vast majority of capitalists and middle- and upper-level executives have a wealth of hobbies, especially the families of the powerful of the generation, and most of them have chosen the path they are interested in. With the advent of the moderately prosperous era, although the importance of money was greatly reduced due to the liquidation of capital, these people either continued to work because of their hobbies or actively sought the road of capital transformation, and still did not leave their posts. At the same time, those who usually work day and night in order to support their families, those entrepreneurs who go crazy in order to make money, especially the poorest and most miserable who can only eat instant noodles, suddenly lose their goals overnight, some have nothing to do and live in chaos, and some receive free benefits to reorient.

In comparison, the elite and elites can adapt to the well-off era more quickly than the common people.

Naturally, the elite ideology began to tornado all over the world, as if this was the truth of why elite elites were able to dominate world politics.

Wen Xin understands, and other rational human beings also understand, that the reason why the middle and upper class people were able to adapt to the well-off era relatively quickly was not due to their talent, but because they had already lived a well-off life without worrying about food and clothing in the hungry era. However, rational argumentation is not as good as chicken soup in the circle of friends, at least in a short period of time, the cult of the elite has become the mainstream, which has greatly reduced the belief of the common people. The five people's social states, the 1st Administrative Prefecture Jiaobang Democratic People's Republic, the 3rd Administrative Prefecture Dibang Socialist Republic, the 14th Administrative Prefecture Bibang Socialist Republic, and the 16th Administrative Prefecture Lou Bang People's Republic successively carried out color revolutions, leaving only the Ninth Administrative Prefecture Niu Bang Democratic Republic to turn left and turn to the right.

Wen Xin was very, very disappointed.

It is not only disappointed in the Seven Star Empire, but also disappointed in oneself
