LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

The problem Li Wei discovered this time is, to say the least, a legal issue about whether these small shopkeepers and small workshop owners should be arrested and whether they should be punished.

On a larger scale, it is a policy issue of how the leaders should treat the small property owners in Zaun.

Going a step further, this may also be a question of whether private companies are allowed to exist in the leader base area that will be built in the future.

These young, enthusiastic and idealistic cadres all believe that the leader can establish Jannaism in Zaun in one step.

Therefore, the small property owners, who represent the private sector, should not continue to exist at all.

Even if these people may just open a small family workshop or store, they may not even have many employees. They are also still enemies of the Wind Leader.

“But at this stage, are the small property owners really the enemy?”

Levi will start with this topic and discuss it with everyone.

Because there are no farmers in Zaun, small property owners in Zaun probably refer to small shop owners, small workshop owners, and small intellectuals, including skilled workers, alchemy technicians, mechanical engineers, etc...

"And these small property owners can be roughly divided into three categories."

“The first category is those who have surplus money, that is, through work, production and operations, they can have a lot of surplus money in addition to self-sufficiency.”

There is money, and there is still money left over that can be used for investment, financial management, expansion of reproduction, and the hope of getting rich.

This type of person naturally does not want to change the status quo.

Their economic status is close to that of the bourgeoisie, and they often remain on the sidelines and suspicious of the struggles of the leaders; but they are not really big bourgeoisie, and they will not have too deep hostility towards the leaders.

"This kind of people are neither friends nor enemies."

"If we are hostile to them, they are the enemy. If we try to win over them, they can be the enabler."

Inappropriately speaking, Singed is such a person.

He has no hostility towards the leader, but he also has no favorable impression. As long as the leader is willing to show kindness, he is willing to cooperate.

And most of the citizens of Piltover are also such people. They're not friends yet, but they can be fought for.

"The second type of people are those who can support themselves financially, but don't have much money left."

These people also want to make a fortune in peace of mind, but objective conditions prevent them from making a fortune at all.

They were better off than most Zaunians, but saw no hope of getting better.

The Alchemist Baron's bone-breaking oppression of the Zaun people can also be clearly reflected on these people.

Therefore, even though they dare not join sports rashly because they are "easy to be rich", they still naturally have a good impression of leaders.

"These people can be friends."

Zeli's parents are almost this type of people.

Although the Zach family is in a special situation, it can be regarded as such.

"There is also the last category, which is people who used to live a relatively prosperous life, but their living standards have declined."

Not to mention this type of people.

What they are facing is economic deterioration and even class decline, and of course they are eager to change the status quo.

"They will definitely be friends."

Chuck, who was sold to a factory because his mother was injured, although his situation was a bit extreme, could still be considered this type of person.

Once these circumstances are explained clearly, the answer becomes obvious:

“To engage in struggle is to make many friends and only a few enemies.

"For now, most small property owners can be fought for and can be friends of our Leaders Association."

"And everyone knows very well that our publicity work to the local residents of Picheng in the past few months has gradually opened up. After learning and understanding, these small property owners are generally willing to stand on the side of the leader. .”

"But if we now resort to brutal deprivation of property or even brutal physical extermination of small property owners, we are destroying ourselves and pushing our potential friends towards our enemies."

Li Wei's lengthy explanation made many cadres listen thoughtfully.

But some people still questioned: "President Levi, I understand what you mean."

"But our ultimate goal is not to achieve a harmonious society, isn't it to eliminate private businesses? If we continue to allow these small owners to exist, then..."

His questions were pointed.

Because the leader’s belief theory encourages everyone to fight for the truth, and these leaders are all people with true faith.

So when there are differences in understanding of the truth, even if Levi is a respected president, they will not hide their true inner thoughts.

"That's a good question." Levi was not afraid of debate.

This is exactly what he wants to make clear to everyone next, the next economic policy issues of the Leader Association:

"After our base is established, the first task is to deprive the bourgeoisie of their means of production, and transfer all means of production and circulation to the proletarian base, the largest organization of the working class, through nationalization."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"But it should be noted that what is referred to here is not to deprive small production or small handicrafts, but to deprive the big bourgeoisie of their means of production, put large production on a new track, and stop it in a new way."

To put it simply, it means only killing big businesses like Takeda Saito and not eating small businesses doing small businesses.

One is to conduct a united front against small property owners.

Second, Li Wei does not want to, and believes that those small owners should not be bullied.

They just opened a small shop, a small tailor shop, a small blacksmith shop, or even just set up a small stall. They did their business properly and did not commit any crimes.

The leader can only deprive these people of their property out of Janna's theoretical justice, but not out of moral justice.

Killing the Alchemist Baron and his eagle and dog lackeys is naturally very satisfying.

However, using violence against a group of small business owners who have done no bad things... it doesn't sound good if the news spreads.

"We cannot ruin the reputation of the Windleaders."

Yes, reputation. Levi cares about this very much.

Because gods do exist in Runeterra, the most valuable asset of the Wind Leader is the reputation of the goddess Janna.

With a good reputation, the faith will spread quickly, more people will accept it, and the goddess Janna will become stronger.

The Wind Leader has been able to develop so rapidly recently because the goddess Janna herself is a good deity with a strong mass base in the Twin Cities and is regarded as a guardian by people.

"The enemy is trying every possible means to discredit us."

"If we use the same terrorist tactics against the large number of small owners and property owners in the Twin Cities as we do against the enemies of the big bourgeoisie, it may cause a devastating blow to our reputation."

These are still secondary.

The real question is:

"Third, we are currently in short supply of grassroots cadres with firm beliefs and reliable abilities."

"If we rush to wipe out the small owners now, will we be able to organize these scattered small productions again?"

Very simple reason.

Even after the small restaurant was confiscated, the Zaun people still had a need to eat.

Even after the tailor shop was confiscated, the people of Zaun still had a need to buy clothes.

These small industries have been confiscated. In order to meet the demand, the Leaders Association has to find a way to reorganize these numerous small industries in a nationalized manner.

If there is one less small store, the leader will have to open one more state-owned store.

So, here comes the question...

Do the leaders now have so many grassroots cadres?

"This not only requires a large number of grassroots cadres, but also grassroots cadres with firm beliefs and reliable abilities."

When a state-owned store is handed over to a cadre, he is given not only responsibility, but also power.

If the person holding this power has weak beliefs and insufficient quality, then the damage he causes to the masses by using this power may be more serious than the profit exploitation of private shops.

This problem is difficult to solve on Earth.

But there is hope in Runeterra.

Because of the purity of Janna believers, there will always be the absolutely impartial and selfless goddess Janna to supervise.

Since there is such an ideal solution, why rush?

If we are eager to eliminate small property owners and are unable to organize a reliable small production system, it will only bring chaos.

"In short, if we can do the best, we must be confident before we can do it."

"I have always said that we cannot take too big a step, otherwise we will easily cause trouble."

"So, until the Windleader Association has completely established itself in Runeterra, before Janna's ideas are widely disseminated, and a sufficiently reliable team of grassroots cadres is cultivated - we must allow these small property owners to exist."
