1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 647 (The Finale)

“The administrative team out of control?” Hearing this prediction, Dena couldn’t help being a little at a loss, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.

“I know, you might come up with something like this.” Scrooge said with a gentle smile, as if Dena was still a child who had not grown up. “First, you might plan to severely crack down on those who try to use power for personal gain. A traitor to the revolution. Seriously, carefully clean up the party’s ranks, and expel those fallen elements from the leadership team as much as possible. This is not useless, but it can only reduce the speed of the administrative team’s loss of control, and The problem cannot be solved fundamentally. Moreover, those fallen elements will not stand alone, they will resist, resist in various ways, legal, illegal, peaceful, unpeaceful. You will also use all means, legal Yes, illegal, peaceful, and unpeaceful means to suppress them. Just like what you did to the Constituent Assembly on January 5. What you did at that time was not at all legal and not democratic at all. Ah, don’t argue. I know that you have to do this. You made a mistake when you agreed to conduct any elections. Without changing the economic infrastructure of the entire society, it is impossible for any election to be unwilling. Those who destroy this structure are beneficial. To be honest, what you did at the beginning is really naive. Fortunately, you are not stupid, and you find something wrong, and you know to use violence to break the situation. Only this time, Dena, the situation you are facing But it’s different from January 5. Your enemy is yourself. No one is willing to give up the benefits that can be obtained. How can you suppress the entire administrative team and the entire bureaucracy for a long time?”

Speaking of this, Scrooge couldn’t help but think of the historical “I came to Hebei” (German: I am alone) against the entire bureaucracy, forcing them to honestly serve the people as public servants, keeping them from using power for personal gain. What are the results of those characters in the end?

In ancient China, no emperor hated those corrupt officials more than Ming Taizu. He sent various investigation agencies to supervise the officials. He allowed and encouraged ordinary people to complain about officials’ corruption. He was strict in law enforcement and murder. It is never soft to pick up corrupt officials, and all kinds of tricks are renovated. what’s the result? As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang died, my Daming immediately corrupted and renovated in various ways. And that Zhu Yuanzhang, who blocked everyone from getting rich, was consistently portrayed as a sadistic pervert and ungrateful tyrant.

In the original time and space, that is, in Soviet Russia, the Iron Man stood out in the internal melee, and then repeatedly purged the Soviet Russian bureaucracy. However, when he died, the bureaucracy immediately rebounded. Then, The image of Tetsuo has become a projection of Satan. After a few decades, the bureaucracy simply divided the Soviet Union.

“We are not alone, we represent the interests of most people, and most people stand with us. Of course we can suppress and defeat the fallen traitors.” Dena seemed a little excited. In Scrooge’s view, this kind of excitement is precisely the performance of panic.

“Believe in the masses, rely on the masses. Come from the masses and go to the masses. The eyes of the masses are sharp.” Scrooge said with a sarcasm. “But Dena, the masses of people have two big problems. One problem. It’s because they don’t have the time and energy to understand and supervise the operation of the state machinery. As I said earlier, the organization of social production is so complicated that non-professionals simply can’t understand it.””But whether those guys are corrupt, whether they use power for personal gain, everyone can see it.” Dena interjected.

“Yes, the people’s eyes are discerning after all.” Scrooge shook his head disapprovingly, “but their organization is very problematic.”

“The revolution is about awakening the masses of the people and organizing them.” Dena said.

“Then that part of the organization may separate from the masses and become the new master.” Scrooge said coldly, “They will also form their own interest class, and they may also degenerate into new bureaucrats.”

Scrooge remembered the great man in the history of the Chitu Kingdom. Was his controversial deeds in his later years also because he felt that the original revolutionaries were rapidly becoming detached from the masses and interests? What about bureaucrats who are inconsistent with the masses? Was it precisely because of this concern that he tried to allow the masses to participate in national politics through direct intervention? Scrooge didn’t know if he thought that way, he only knew that this invincible great man had not won in this final battle. It is said that when a certain bald eagle leader came to visit Chitu Kingdom, he once praised him for changing the world. But the old man shook his head and said, “Not so much. In fact, I only changed a little bit in China.” Many years ago, when Scrooge saw this record, he only recorded his The passage is understood as general humility, but now, when Scrooge recalls this passage, he feels more of a deep exhaustion.

“Dana,” Scrooge said seriously, “I admit that the communist system is indeed extremely mathematically perfect, full of mathematical beauty. Perhaps, there is no other in the world. It is more attractive. Even, I would like to say that if it can be realized, it will be worthwhile to shed some blood for it. Maybe in the world, except for the cause of communism, there is no Anything else that is truly worthwhile for people to sacrifice their lives to pursue. Even with me, if communism is really feasible, I am willing to work for it. After all, this is the heaven on earth. But Dena, communism is just Just a phantom, the kingdom of heaven will never be in the world. Even if you establish a socialist country, it will degenerate into a magic cave of capitalism again after at most two or three generations. Give countless blood and lives, In the end, it is destined to have only this result. Do you think it is worth it?”

“Since communism is mathematically more perfect than capitalism, it is worth working for it.” Dena replied, “When the steam engine first appeared, it was far less than horses. When capitalism was first established, the British were Life expectancy has plummeted. You know all these Scrooge Uncle. I admit that the problem you mentioned in Scrooge Uncle is indeed very difficult. At least for now, I haven’t come up with a good solution.” It was time to calm down, “But I still thank Scrooge Uncle for the precious reminders you gave us. Maybe these reminders can help us avoid a lot of failure.”

“It’s useless, Dena, it’s useless.” Scrooge shook his head and said, “This is a weird circle that can’t get around. Dena, look at me. Let me brag, I learned from an ordinary craftsman I started in my family, and now I have become the richest person in the world. Moreover, I have also achieved great results in many aspects. I think, maybe, I can be a little humble and say that in this era, I don’t have many clever people, right. To be honest, I was thinking about these issues as early as when I was with Mr. Marx. However, honestly, I have never thought of a really feasible way. I don’t think there is anything you can do with your comrades. Don’t do such a futile thing anymore, it’s useless.”

“No, Scrooge Uncle, I think you are too arrogant and despise the people. Indeed, the people, at least the people of Russia, are still very stupid and ignorant, just like the French at Robespierre. But Time will change everything. Indeed, economic activities will become more and more complex, but without deliberate exploitation, the development of new technology will also greatly increase the efficiency of production. Therefore, in the long run, human labor The intensity will definitely drop, at least, after we have us, it must drop.” At this point, Dena suddenly smiled, “Because there is an example like us, if you suppress the workers as hard as they are now. , They will revolt. So what kind of welfare we give the workers, you have to give it the same. We don’t need to think about profit. We will never have insufficient demand. Anyway, what we produce can be directly distributed. There is no need at all. What kind of market exchange. You are different. If you want to engage in a welfare system, it is almost like suicide. Especially when the economic crisis breaks out. So, it is most likely that you will not be able to hold it in the first place. , I seem to have digressed a bit. Well, with the decline of labor intensity and labor hours, as well as the ascending of the general education level, the people’s level of awareness will also ascending. Even if it does not reach the level, everyone can fully understand the operation of the country. I can see the tricky status of some traitors, but many people, or more and more people, can have this ability, as long as we insist on treating them as masters of the country to educate them, teach them to see the truth of the world and learn. Those real and useful things are just like the way Scrooge Uncle taught me and Donald. In that case, I believe that the people will have the time, energy, and knowledge to truly manage the country.”

“Dana, it’s not easy. It’s just a faint hope. Although I can’t completely deny its possibility, I’m sure I won’t see that day, and you probably won’t see that day. . From feudalism to capitalism, mankind has traveled for more than a hundred years. In fact, you also know that the leap from feudalism to capital is much smaller than the leap from capitalism to socialism. Therefore, your struggle may be several hundred. Years may not necessarily have a result. Why do you know that you can’t get results? Listen to me, come back to the family, Dena.” Scrooge said.

“Scrooge Uncle, do you remember a metaphor in “What Zarathustra Says”?” Dena asked suddenly, “‘A man is a rope tied between an animal and a superman. The rope hanging over the abyss. A dangerous crossing, a dangerous road, a dangerous retrospect, a dangerous standing and staying. The great things in man are because he is a bridge rather than a purpose. : The cute things in people are a kind of transition and decline for him.’ Scrooge Uncle, in my opinion, people who cross this rope are great, and those who fall in the middle are also respectable, only afraid. This rope stays on the other side of the beast, or climbs out two steps and then turns back. It is really contemptible. Realizing that you are not right, discovering the possible correct direction, but not daring to act, arrived Today, it is still a monkey or even a bug. Do you want to persuade me to be a monkey or a bug?”

“Ah, Dena, are you saying that I am an old monkey? You are still so acrimonious.” Scrooge said, “Well, I know your ambitions. Although I don’t approve of you, the Macdonalds I am very proud to have such a truly brave person. Okay, let’s talk about our business now.

You know, I hate the European industrial countries far more than you hate you. Therefore, I hope to help you grow up, achieve industrialization, and establish the world’s first set of welfare mechanisms. Then, those guys in Europe can only rely on deficit finance to imitate you, and then their labor costs will be messed up, and then we can easily defeat them in the market. Either they must launch a war against you. The better you prepare and the more successful your industrialization, the greater the scale of the war and the greater the destruction of European industry. Then, after Europe is broken, we can not only take away their colonies, but also control the whole of Europe in turn. ”

“Are you not afraid that we liberated the entire Europe in the war?” Dena asked.

“Even if God bless you again, those guys in Europe will not wait until your strength is clearly surpassed by them before launching a war. For you, the best scenario is just a hard and even battle. What’s more, we can still intervene at any time. , You will not have the opportunity to liberate the whole of Europe.” Scrooge replied, “After this, you are also exhausted, and then, do you say that this is better for us?”

“You are really honest,” Dena said. “However, things may not always be what you want.”

“Why, are you not interested in working with us?” Scrooge asked.

“No, how could it happen.” Dena replied with a smile, “At least, you are willing to sell us a rope used to hang European capitalists. One day in the future, you will not worry that this rope will also hang capital. Is it an ethical system?”

“Ah, Dena, the great Sun King said: ‘After I die, how can I care about the flood?’” Scrooge replied.
