This is to make up for yesterday’s session, there will be another session tonight. 【Read full text】
-------------------------------------------
"Without unity of thought, there is no correct direction. Failure after time travel is inevitable!" Du Wen's voice passed through the autumn twilight and went straight into the night sky with high sky and thin clouds.
No one in the crowd circling the playground said a word. There are many people walking around playing badminton on the playground. People with sharp eyes have noticed that these people walking around the playground are five or six main members of the executive committee, as well as a few people they are not very familiar with. ——These people are members of a policy advisory group that has not yet been made public. They are mainly composed of people majoring in history, law, and sociology. Young historian Yu Eshui is the team leader, and the deputy team leader is Ms. Du Wen.
"What kind of unification of thoughts?" After a long time, Ma Qianzhu said this, "Will everyone buy your account?"
"It's a joke. A political organization doesn't even have its own political goals and can't unify its thoughts. It still wants to save the Chinese nation?"
"Save the Chinese nation?" Wen Desi said, "Then this can be considered the highest ideal. At least it is easier to achieve than **."
"The goal at this stage is to corrupt, right? I want to raise lolita—"
The men all had ambiguous smiles on their lips.
"Vulgar taste! The limitations of the petty bourgeoisie have been exposed, history has proved..." Du Wen began to criticize.
"Let's not go too far." Young historian Yu Eshui began to change the topic, "There is no need to consider short-term and long-term political goals at the moment. In fact, there are only three key points: power structure, distribution of interests, and bottom line. .”
"Isn't the Executive Committee currently operating very well? We can just improve it in the future." Xiao Zishan was obviously not interested in this issue.
"This is administrative supremacy." Wen Desi said, "The Executive Committee is just an administrative agency, it is not a power agency."
"But the current executive committee is very efficient. If we hold a people's assembly and everything has to be voted on, what else can be done? Don't look at the fact that many people here go online every day to criticize the people. From now on, They are working harder than anyone else to create minzhu persimmon oil, and they will have to hold meetings for several days without digging a toilet!"
"So it is necessary." Wen Desi admitted that the efficiency of the executive committee is indeed good, "but such a state will cause problems sooner or later. When the masses stand up and demand their power, the rulers will become passive."
Rather than being forced to accept democratic demands in the end, it is better to bring the masses who have not yet understood it into a political framework that is beneficial to the rulers early on. At this time, the time-travelers are still immersed in the feverish atmosphere of preparations. After the time-travel and everything stabilizes, don't they all have their own little plans in mind - who wants to be a member of the crowd for the rest of their lives?
When the Executive Committee was first established, although the leaders of each group were all members, the core power was actually held by the triumvirate of Wen Desi, Wang Luobin and Xiao Zishan. When Xianma Qianju emerged during the entire preparation process and his prestige gradually became apparent, the executive committee quickly integrated him into the decision-making level. For the Chinese, playing political tricks is almost a natural ability, and everyone is very clear-minded. At present, there is no issue of interest distribution or conflict of interest among the time travellers. When being a leader only means paying more, most people are still happy to be the soy sauce.
"What about our power structure? Representative or general assembly."
"Obviously the General Assembly."
There are only more than 500 travelers in total, and two basketball courts can accommodate them all. Representation involves the issue of the electoral system, which is too complicated. At the moment, it is better to keep things simple rather than complicated.
"What about the rights of the, um, natives who will join us in the future? You can't help but consider this."
"In the early days, we did not need to consider the rights and interests of the natives. Our relationship with the natives was one of utilization and suppression." Dr. Zhong Lizhi said leisurely, he is a red-blooded materialist, "They are willing to cooperate and work We will give a small amount of money when acquiring land and buying goods. Those who are unwilling to cooperate will be severely suppressed until they are willing to cooperate."
"What's the difference between what you're doing and the Japanese? They are our compatriots."
"People have to recognize you as a compatriot. With our appearance, which native would think that we are compatriots?"
"In the future, we must take into account the interests of the local people who join us - let's call them 'naturalized people'. It is absolutely necessary to give appropriate political power - without long-term interests, why should people work for you?" Yu E Water said.
"Integration policy?" Xiao Zishan was worried. "There will be many naturalized people in the future, and even the representative system will cause the problem of losing the right to speak."
"One of the characteristics of the petty bourgeoisie is that they are afraid of mobilizing the masses! Only by mobilizing the masses can we have a broad social foundation and we can fight against the decadent and backward feudal regime. You are better off just thinking about being the master. I am opposed to such discussions!" Du Wen was angry at everyone's naked discussion on how to control power and oppress the people - and more importantly, it was a complete green damization of her words.
"I haven't finished what I said. What I envision is a political system similar to that of ancient Rome," Yu Eshui continued to explain, "Aristocratic republic or crony democracy - they all mean the same thing."
"senate?"
"Yes, all of us time travelers are senators, and the Senate holds all power. Democracy should be fully exercised within the Senate. For the majority of naturalized people, limited political power can be given, and a lower house or similar institution can be established to represent them. that power."
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
"Yes, that's what it means." Yu Eshui said, "But that's something for later. In the early days, we didn't need such a complicated political system. To put it simply: the general meeting of time travelers elects an executive committee, which is exercised by the executive committee Executive power. Major decisions and legislation are decided by a vote of the general assembly. Every member of the Transcendence has the right to elect and be elected, as well as the right to vote, regardless of gender, and one vote for each person over the age of 18. "
“How to determine a majority?”
"This is a matter of detail. If we want to take into account comprehensive public opinion, we can stipulate that 90% of the public participates in the meeting, and the vote is valid. Based on 90% of the vote, two-thirds is a majority."
"Are there any problems with such a great democracy? The masses are sometimes blind and can easily be incited. If they develop smoothly for a few years and win a few battles, someone will go to Australia to colonize or start a war. What should we do about those who want to kill Japan and destroy the United States? Once the vote is passed, it will become a resolution."
"Haha, that's true." Yu Eshui said with a smile, "If democracy is realized within the time travellers, then as a democracy, everyone is drunk and I am alone, and democracy is a contradiction: if you find that most people in the group They all hold a 'wrong' concept, and the result of democracy is that you should succumb to this concept.
"In a group where most people want to raise lolita, if you insist that raising lolita is destroying young girls and must be banned, the result can only be failure. Unless you can convince everyone to agree with your philosophy - this may take many, many years. To the extreme, to seize power and dictatorship through some means, so that you gain the power to transform other people's thoughts."
"Public opinion, the key is public opinion." Xiao Zishan said.
"Yes, public opinion can be used as a guide. Controlling public opinion means controlling public opinion to a certain extent."
The people walking around the playground circled again, during which Du Wen continued to criticize the hypocrisy of bourgeois democracy.
"Should we implement separation of powers within the Yuan Yuan and establish an independent judicial system?" someone asked.
"It's not necessary, at least not at the beginning. The internal friction is too great. We don't have such a complicated balance. Even if there are checks and balances, it's not in the legal field." Although Yu Eshui's words were not explained, everyone understood the meaning.
"Haha, I think we are a bit too detailed. In the final analysis, the political system is not a question of how to distribute benefits?" Qian Shuiting, who represents the North American interest group among the travelers, said. The 40-year-old master of biology has silently said After listening for a long time, he finally spoke, "It is unrealistic to have a unified leadership core. Modern people have all kinds of ideological trends: left, center, right; Huang Er, Huang De, Huang Han... We must let these people If we unify our thoughts and work together, everyone will probably have to be killed by the Ming Dynasty army - or they will starve to death. There are many highly educated people here, and everyone thinks highly of themselves. Many people have formed ideas. If they want to establish a unique The core of it is simply impossible. Therefore, the cooperation of time travelers can only seek common interests, rather than agreement on ideas. I personally think that the joint-stock form is the most suitable as the basis and direction of interest distribution. The joint-stock system is to build a company. A company is What are you doing, for the prosperity of the Chinese nation? This is too noble. What are the interests or needs of the time-travelers? They are no different from ordinary people. Except for a few idealists who sacrifice themselves for others, most people only care about money, fame, and women. Sex and power. So even if the political ideas of group members are different, there are still opportunities to seek common ground while reserving differences."
"With this advocating core interest orientation, will time travelers inevitably rebel against the revolution when their personal interests cannot be satisfied!" Du Wen asked, "History has proven that people who speculate on revolution for their own selfish interests are simply unreliable - they will abandon the revolution at any time. Only those who are willing to devote themselves to their ideals can accomplish great things."
"If our goal is to establish the first socialist society of the 17th century, are you willing to die for this cause?"
"I will train many people who are willing to devote themselves to this cause." She said these words unswervingly, and everyone fainted immediately, and some people were foaming at the mouth. Only Ma Qianzhu looked normal.
"We need a basic constitution. There was a convention in Mayflower."
"Speaking of this, I now have a very strange feeling - like an ocean exploration in the seventeenth century." Yu Eshui rubbed his hands excitedly, "A group of frustrated people and dreamers in society hope to get something in another world. A new starting point, going to a new world to plunder and satisfy their desires. They have brand-new killing techniques and weapons, and they have a lot of hot commodities. They enter the new world ruthlessly. At first, they only asked for a small piece of land to live in. . Later they became the masters of the empire!"
