Fables of the prehistory of the founding of the People's Republic of China

This is a history before the founding of a nation, and a legend about how an authoritarian and hierarchical country was born. Of course, this is not the beautiful legend of the Mayflower, nor the history of the founding of the United States; there are no contracts, constitutions, and citizenship rights, but only naked oppression, plunder and fear. This is a preview of the founding history of almost all authoritarian countries. Mr. Liang Zhiping has already explained this way of nation-building very clearly in his masterpiece "Fabian."
The harsh living environment on the island is the basis for the existence of despotism. What is needed most in this desperate living environment is unity, and the force that unites people the most is definitely not love but fear. Kind-hearted people, don't rashly criticize me for resolutely believing in the power of love. I believe that between you and your parents, children, and lovers, even if love is not the only one, it is also the most important bond that maintains these close relationships. However, what the movie discusses is not the personal relationship between you and your female (boy) friend, but the crowd, a group of lost sheep. In the crowd, the power of love often appears to be too weak and mother-in-law; more powerful than her, there is no doubt that fear is caused by people's fear of being abandoned by the collective and losing the basic conditions for survival provided by the collective. Sense of fear. Therefore, the best way to unite the crowd is not to reconcile conflicts or treat everyone equally; it is to divide the crowds, artificially create "us" and "them", and then force them to stand in line, by repelling and depriving "them" of their rights and even their lives to establish Role model, warning group members, if they are not accepted by the group, they will end up terribly. In this way, the members of the group are forced not to have a heart for the group. At the same time, by establishing a humiliated and disadvantaged group, a certain self-deceiving "superiority" of group members can be satisfied in comparison. This "superiority" is also necessary to unite the group. In fact, everyone recalls their school life. Is there always a poor worm in the class who can be bullied by the whole class? The easiest incident to force people to stand in line, we call it the "touchstone" of firm stance, is nothing more than the division of authority. The people who are most likely to become a minority are those who are weak and incompetent and often bullied, just like Piggie in the film; and those who are unable to adapt to social changes and still try to maintain the so-called "travel on the road, the world is for the public." The former leader of the old pattern of "Three Ancients" is just like Ruifu in the film. So these two poor people became "they". The crowd is divided, and class antagonism arises from this. The ruling class began to violently plunder the ruled (survival knives and glasses), class contradictions could not be reconciled, and dictatorship followed. At the same time, within the class, rely on the punishment of violators to strengthen collective unity and establish leadership authority. This kind of rule that divides the crowd and establishes opposites is a trick that every authoritarian ruler is familiar with. From the six-pointed star on the clothes of Nazi German Jews, to Stalin's concentration camp. History has been repeated again and again.
It can be rehearsed that if there is no adult’s intervention, the story may develop into the following versions, or Ruifu said that the mutineers were rebelled, and the uprising succeeded, but the final result is still only two, or he himself becomes a charisma. The leader, either he tried to maintain a moderate republic but faced division and overthrow again; or Fury was killed, the mutineers became a new opposing class, and the rule was maintained.
