Chapter 41 The Meaning of Class [Seeking Recommendation and Collection]

Of course, none of the villagers knew about Ziggy's plan now, and soon the well-fed villagers danced and sang merrily around the campfire, and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ziggy circled around all the campfires, good guys!

These villagers didn't even have a drop of soup left, they had eaten all the mutton, all the mutton soup had been drunk, and a few villagers who had not gone down to dance were still holding on to the mutton bones and gnawing on them! There were often some fragments of tendons and meat attached to the bones on the bones, and they refused to give up after gnawing all the tendons and meat.

Many people will ask, seeing that everyone is so happy, why do we need to divide classes? How good is it to build a Datong society where everyone is prosperous, and how attractive is it to be happy and happy for everyone to be happy together?

Ziggy also wanted to build a universal nation where everyone was equal.

But Zigger, as a college student with an economics degree, knew that the country of Datong was nothing more than a dream, and the Nobel laureate economist Hayek once said, "The road to hell is usually paved with good intentions." ”

Social classes have always existed from ancient times to the present day.

In the Stone Age, people who hunted more got more wealth.

In the feudal era, from the king, to the nobles, to the petty nobles, to the commoners, they became poorer and poorer.

In modern times, every country has a class of rich and poor.

Why is that?

Because of the class, people have the direction of effort!

Everyone wants their life to be better and better, and when a person sees their relatives and friends, driving luxury cars, wearing good clothes, and their wives dressing up with expensive jewelry and eating better food, they will be envious!

They all want to live a better life like that!

If you want to live a better life, you will work hard.

In the Stone Age, primitive people wanted to live a better life, so they would work hard to hunt! In this way, the wealth of the whole tribe would increase, the food would be more abundant, the tribe could feed more children, and the tribe would grow stronger day by day.

In the feudal era, the aristocracy was better than the poor, if the commoners did not want to live poorly, if the commoners wanted to live the same life as the nobles, then they had to work hard to become nobles, and they had to work hard to become nobles, either to serve the king or to serve the nobles, this kind of service was often to go to the front line to fight, and only after making meritorious contributions could they become nobles!

In the feudal era, the establishment of the aristocratic class was without exception for the purpose of serving war, and only those who fought bravely in war had the opportunity to become nobles and had the opportunity to live a better life, right? Under the stimulus of the aristocratic class being able to live a better life, the commoners would fight more bravely, and only then could such a country win a war against another country.

However, there were not so many battles to fight in the feudal era, so the class in the feudal era was often very rigid, resulting in the phenomenon that the poor were poor all their lives, and the nobles were nobles all their lives.

In modern society, if a person wants to live a better life and wants to live a life of a rich person, then he has to work hard to make money.

Once the country has a class, there must be a lot more people at the bottom than at the top, forming a pyramid shape, and there are often only one or a few people standing at the top of the pyramid, and the more people go down the ladder, the more people there are, and the last class, that is, the poor class at the bottom of the pyramid, is often the most.

Seeing this, some people say that it is not right! Not every country's class state is pyramid-shaped, and the United States is not! The class in the United States is cannonball-shaped, or fusiform-shaped, and many scholars have talked about it, the American class has the least number of people at the top, and there are very few people at the bottom end, and the most is the middle class, that is, the middle class, and a healthy country should be a country where the middle class accounts for the majority.

In fact, these so-called scholars only know one thing and do not know the other, and only see the surface but not the inside.

Why? Because the United States as a whole is no longer an independent United States from the rest of the world, and in the context of global integration, the bottom of American society has been outsourced in the form of capital!

If the whole country of the United States is closed, who will make the daily necessities of the American people, and will the middle class be willing to go to the assembly line and work as workers to make toothbrushes or toilet seats?

Therefore, the actual social class of the United States, or the social class of the entire earth in the real world, is still pyramid-shaped, and a lot of dirty work still has to be done by people at the bottom of the pyramid.

It's just that because of the role of capital, the bottom of the pyramid in developed countries has been transferred to poor countries in the form of outsourcing.

It can be seen from this that those scholars who say that the United States has a fusiform social structure are either blind or simply praise the stinky feet of the Americans.

So why did the modern commercial state replace the feudal state?

Because the class of the modern commercial state can be mobile, that is, if the rich are lazy, they will lose their wealth and become poor, and if the poor work hard, they will accumulate wealth and become rich.

The faster the social class moves within the country, the more dynamic the country becomes, on the contrary, if a country has the middle class as the main stratum and the social class lacks mobility, then the country will become more and more rigid.

Isn't it because of the rigidity of the class in the feudal state, the aristocracy will always be the aristocracy, and the commoners will always be the commoners, that there have been repeated uprisings and wars of the poor commoners at the bottom against oppression?

This is in line with an old Chinese saying: flowing water does not rot, and the hub does not beetle!

So what happens where there are no classes?

Far from it, let's take Ziggy and the Grizzly Village villagers as examples.

If in the future, every time Ziggy made money in trade, when he divided mutton and flour, everyone was the same, regardless of whether he had contributed or not, and the amount of mutton he received was the same, then over time, those villagers who did things for Ziggy would have mutton to eat and flour to share as long as they were like those Grizzly Village villagers who did not contribute to Qige.

So why do those who help Ziggy continue to contribute?

Don't think that this is the end, if it takes a little longer, including Biden and his group, they will not be willing to work with Zigger, since everyone can get things without contributing, Biden and his gang can contribute the most, but like all the Grizzly Village villagers who don't work for Zigger, they will get the same benefits, won't Biden and his gang be psychologically unbalanced?

The meaning of the so-called class is that if you pay, you will get.

So why didn't Ziggy simply give a piece of mutton or a pound of flour to the villagers who didn't help?

Because Ziggy is now in the name of a village chief, it is not okay to say nothing, let all the villagers of Grizzly Village see that I, Qige, is here, and everyone can eat meat!

And doing so, in fact, is more lethal than not having divided the mutton!

Why? These ordinary villagers who have eaten mutton, who have received mutton from Ziggy's hands, and who have tasted mutton, will not be greedy when they see that those villagers who support Ziggy and who support Qige can eat meat every day?

If you haven't eaten mutton and don't know the taste of mutton, you may not want to eat it, but the delicious villagers who have eaten mutton and tasted mutton don't want to eat it again?

This is like a poor man in the world, who has never seen a Ferrari, may not want to buy a Ferrari, he may think that the ox cart is the most convenient means of transportation, but people who have seen a car must want to own a car, why?

Face, comfort, good!

In the same way, ordinary villagers who have eaten mutton will naturally understand a truth, that is, to eat meat mixed with Qige and eat meat mixed with Qige every day!

What if the villagers who can't eat the mutton want to rob Ziggy of the mutton and bread?

They can't, because the villagers who have already been given a share of Ziggy's interests will protect Ziggy.

It is also very easy to understand why the king of a feudal country wants to divide the princes? It is because a person who is rich alone cannot last long, and if he distributes the benefits to a group of people, he can still be the one sitting at the top of the pyramid.

Without the support of these nobles, all of them were poor, and only one king was so rich that the king of this feudal country would definitely not last long, and perhaps even he himself would be killed and eaten by the angry poor.

But the kings of feudal countries are different with the support of the nobles, not only the nobles will protect him, but the commoners will also want to become nobles, and at the same time, some commoners will really become nobles by serving the king, so that the poor cannot be gathered.

Because even if some poor people want to overthrow the king, some poor people may help the king suppress the rebellion in order to become nobles, and such people are not in the minority, and the soldiers in the army are typical examples.

Only when the commoners of a feudal country do not see the hope of becoming a nobleman, such as being a soldier and fighting a war, paying heavy taxes and being oppressed, and being ignored for meritorious service, then the rule of that king is estimated to come to an end, because there is no mobility in this feudal country.

This is why when the literati ministers of ancient China gave the emperor a recital, they suggested that the emperor had the most clear rewards and punishments, and the clear rewards and punishments were often the first suggestion in the ministers' recitals, and then there were a lot of other pieces of music.

In the same way, the hierarchy that Ziggy has built up within Grizzly Village through cooperatives will only keep Ziggy's position as village chief stable.

At the top of this pyramid is Ziggy himself, down are the blacksmith Fein and Biden and his gang, and then down are the people who have helped Ziggy, and then down are the villagers who have not helped Ziggy and have not contributed to Ziggy, and these villagers live at the bottom of this pyramid.

Of course, the scale of the cooperative will be expanded in the future, which will give those villagers at the bottom the opportunity to enter the middle of the pyramid, and those who live at the bottom will have the opportunity to fight for it.

And the way to compete is to work hard for the cooperative, or to work for the zigger, work hard, don't be lazy, you don't do some people rush to do it, because working for the cooperative for the zig means a lot of wealth.

In this way, in the entire Grizzly Village, no one can shake Ziggy's status as the village chief, and at that time, every word Ziggy says will be done desperately, and there is no need for Qige to waste any tongues, even if Ziggy's words are wrong, there will be people who will do the wrong thing.

......

When everyone was full of food and drink, dancing and singing together, Ziggy did not participate, although many villagers who had eaten mutton and received the benefits of Ziggy pulled Qige to dance, and Ziggy politely declined.

He has more important things to do.
