Revolution 1938
Chapter 51 The Nature of Capitalism
() "President Zhang, the ultimate goal of our workers must be to strive for the realization of an industrialist society for life."
After saying this, Li Kaixin took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, then pressed it into the ashtray to extinguish it, coughed twice, and then opened a file in the laptop.
"Dean Zhang, all the heads of state, what you see now will be the most important part of our meeting. This part was spent by our fleet staff team for nearly a week from 1938 to 2016 during the development of the Republic. The future development direction of our party is planned based on all the problems encountered.
Among them, regarding the revolutionary direction of our party, we believe that we should adhere to the combination of proletarian revolution and industrial development, do our best to expel the enemy and unite the country, and finally realize the establishment of a socialist industrialized country. "
"Comrade Kaixin, I know about the proletarian revolution, but I want to ask why it should be combined with industrial development."
"As I said before, our proletarian revolution cannot be just ideological and political struggles, but should be reflected in economic struggles.
Because only in this way can the productivity represented by our organization be improved, and the advanced productive forces represented by our Labor Party can be truly reflected. Only in this way can more people be willing to accept the ideas and concepts of our Labor Party.Only then can our party gain the broadest support and it will be easier to obtain the proletarian revolution.
As for how to improve our productivity, it is not enough to rely on the advanced nature of our ideas. What is productivity? Productivity is the ability of people to conquer and transform nature to obtain material means of living, and it is the material power for people to transform nature.
So what is this physical force?Of course, it is science and technology and industrial capabilities.Only progress in science and technology and industrial capabilities can enhance the advanced nature of the productivity we represent.Only then will it be possible to fundamentally accelerate the process of the proletarian revolution. "
"Comrade Kaixin, we all understand that advanced productive forces replace backward productive forces, but if science and technology and industrial capabilities are productive forces, then Western capitalist countries are more advanced than investing more in this area, and they have also mastered For the vast majority of labor tools, how can we workers be more advanced than them in terms of productivity?"
"President Zhang, you are right. That is why the bourgeois revolution can easily allow the bourgeoisie to replace the feudal aristocracy. It is also because the productive forces represented by the two are so different that the bourgeoisie in Western countries The revolution did not seriously damage the entire Western world."
"We already know what you said, but this does not explain why the development of technology and industry will allow us to defeat the bourgeoisie. At most, we can achieve industrialization and technological development like the bourgeoisie, and obtain the same benefits as the bourgeoisie." Productivity, even if our development is more advanced than that of some bourgeoisie, at most it is only slightly higher than that of the bourgeoisie, but fundamentally it cannot realize the difference between the bourgeoisie and the feudal aristocratic class.”
"Yes, Dean Zhang mentioned the key point. In fact, this is because we have not discovered the essence of capitalism. The characteristics of capitalism are privatization and capital's pursuit of profit. The characteristics are free economy and small government. Therefore You can see that capitalism itself suppresses the development of productive forces, and this is why the productive forces we represent must be more advanced than them.
Why do you say that, you can look at the following aspects.
First of all, the privatization of capitalism and the profit-seeking characteristics of capital have led to the fact that the internal resources of the entire capitalist country are scattered and cannot be controlled, and Zheng Fu adopts more attractive methods in resource allocation.Then it will inevitably lead to more lucrative projects or technologies to attract the investment of social resources, which will lead to capitalist society when an old technology or old industry is still rich in profits, and replace it with new technology will be suppressed involuntarily.Because when a new technology first emerges, the cost must be the highest, and its profits cannot attract those capitalists who are in the industry to change course.
This is especially evident in the energy industry of later generations. The future world is already an era of widespread use of petroleum energy. Until 2011, the global oil production was 36 billion tons. Petroleum has played the most important role in the economic production activities of the entire world.However, oil itself has limited reserves and has a bad impact on the environment when used. The whole world has been calling for new energy sources. Research on alternative energy sources for oil has been developing since the 50s.
However, from the 50s to the 90s, the research on this emerging alternative energy has been suppressed by several super oil giants in the world. Whenever there is a promising emerging energy technology, these oil companies will take various measures to control these research and development teams. Acquisition or crowding out has prevented these new technologies from being better developed, but being snuffed out in their infancy.
why?The emergence of new energy can be said to be a sign of the emergence of more advanced productive forces. Why are these bourgeoisie unwilling to master them but want to eliminate them?
Because of profit!At that time, the profits of the oil industry were basically in the stage of huge profits, and 200% profits could be easily realized, especially in the United States. They have mastered the world's oil resources through comprehensive economic and military means, so the United States will not let oil. Alternatives emerge.
This situation continued until the late 90s. Due to the increasingly serious environmental problems, criticism of the oil industry has begun to ferment within the bourgeois countries and has become a new main contradiction. In order to ensure the stability of their regimes, the bourgeois countries , had to start policy preference for emerging environmental protection energy.
In addition, due to the emergence of the European Community.Since the United States has already controlled oil resources, the European Community must find a key means for itself that will not be controlled by others in terms of energy supply. For this reason, it has increased investment in research and development of emerging energy sources. The huge investment in emerging energy has broken the technical barriers of the originally indestructible petroleum industry, and solar energy, wind energy and other technologies have begun to be widely used and developed.
However, due to the impact of the oil industry on the new energy industry, these new technologies have lost their golden development period of nearly 40 years. Therefore, when people encounter serious global warming and air pollution, they have no way to come up with better energy alternatives. We can only watch helplessly as the global environment goes from bad to worse. "
"Comrade Kaixin is saying that due to the privatization of profits and assets, the bourgeoisie itself will suppress the development of technology and technology?"
"Yes, this is not obvious now. Why, because the development of science and technology has not yet reached the bottleneck, the investment and output of technology can still reflect a considerable profit, so capitalists are willing to invest in technology research and development, and Using patents and other means to ensure that one's own technology can bring oneself the greatest profit.
However, the development of technology itself also has its own development law. Technology gradually develops from the initial individual research and development to team research and development, from the beginning of small investment and large output slowly transition to large input and large output, and finally technology research and development will gradually Differentiation, basic technology research and development and practical technology research and development appear, and there will even be a phenomenon of large investment and zero output in basic technology research and development.
At this time, in capitalism, the research and development of these technologies that have no output or have a small investment-output ratio will slowly give up.However, technology itself has a tree structure, and one basic technology is likely to be the basis of multiple practical technologies, so the short-sightedness of the bourgeoisie will cause these basic technologies to be ignored, or even to give up research.
It is not that capitalist countries are unaware of this problem, so governments in various Western countries generally adopt the model of theoretical research in universities and practical research in companies when dealing with this problem.
Why?Because in the West, universities themselves are non-profit organizations and rely on donations to obtain funds, so universities can calm down and conduct theoretical research without thinking about output.This model looks beautiful, but we must not forget that capital itself is profit-seeking in capitalist society.
Although due to national tax policies, capitalists cannot collect their own assets without limit, the latter is obviously more attractive in the two options of tax payment and donation. Therefore, in the early stage of capitalism development, this kind of technological development The short-sightedness is not obvious.
However, the free economy and small government of capitalism have led to regular economic crises in the entire capitalist society. I don’t think I need to elaborate on the emergence of such crises here. Marx has already explained it very clearly in his works. up.
In the face of such periodic economic crises, if capitalist countries do not absorb the crisis from the outside, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of their own economic system inside the country, which will lead to shrinking capital and more profit-seeking capital.
At that time, there will be less theoretical research on the flow of R&D funds, and the small government will not be able to intervene in the flow of funds, nor can it avoid the economic turmoil of the entire society. In the end, the R&D of technologies that cannot generate enough profits will stop and cannot generate enough profits. Profitable industrial production will cease or be moved to low-cost locations abroad.
These are the status quo of the entire capitalist society after the later generations entered the 21st century.Until 2016, the financial turmoil in Europe still did not subside, the governments of many countries declared bankruptcy, and the United States was still unable to boost its domestic economy, relying on foreign debts. Japan's economic downturn that has lasted for nearly 30 years has not improved. The theoretical and basic research of the entire world has shrunk by 73%, and the practical technology research has shrunk by 30%.
Especially space technology research, because space technology is a typical example of large input and small output, by 2016, except for China, which is still making stable large-scale investment, other countries in the world have basically stopped further large-scale investment in space technology scale input.
The United States decommissioned all its space shuttles and cut 70% of NASA's annual budget. Except for commercial development, Russia almost no longer touches the field of new technologies. Europe's space technology research and development has basically stopped, and the space research and development budget has been cut by 90%. Although Japan and India still maintain an increase in investment, their purpose is not research and development, but they don't want to be thrown too far by us, because it would be embarrassing. "
Having said that, Li Kaixin chuckled, and casually took out another cigarette and lit it for himself.
After saying this, Li Kaixin took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, then pressed it into the ashtray to extinguish it, coughed twice, and then opened a file in the laptop.
