Economic base and superstructure

Preston 2022-03-15 09:01:03

The military stimulates the human brain to stimulate the potential of the human body, and plans to guide it to cultivate a new generation of human beings and to lead Japan to a bright road. It has to be said that this is the most direct and thorough policy to strengthen the country. Lu Xun once criticized the inferiority of Chinese people and pointed out that reforming the quality of Chinese people is the only way out. The difference is that in reality, the operability is almost 0, but it is completely achievable in film and television dramas. However, when these are realized, everything becomes uncontrollable and predictable......

Science and technology are indeed the primary productive forces, but productivity still belongs to the economic foundation.

Due to a series of comprehensive factors such as the climate and environment in which people live, Chinese society has produced a unique cultural heritage, which has been unified and stable for a long time. Stability has created us to advocate the art of governing the Tao, and the art of governing the Tao belongs to the superstructure. Throughout the history of China, we entered the feudal society very early and produced a very stable economic foundation. However, once the superstructure is not suitable for the economic foundation, we will choose a seemingly simple and effective method - war. War destroys the economic base, and then what? The superstructure can be happily combined with the economic base again, and we can live in peace again.

And what about friends who have been in unstable regions? Their instability causes their economic base to be destroyed more frequently, so they are more committed to transforming nature in order to create a better economic base. Similar to genetic mutation, there will be good methods and techniques under separate governance, and then communicate and learn together, and society will progress. Therefore, after the rise of navigation in the West, the power of science was gradually revealed, and the development of the economic base quickly surpassed ours.

However, let's calm down and think for a moment. Without the pursuit of advanced science, human beings can still survive; however, without management and restraint, society will be chaotic, and human survival will have problems. The military blindly relies on high technology to cultivate new human beings, but ignores the importance of social management. The new human beings they cultivate still come from old human beings. So, when everyone becomes a superman, the existence of the earth is a problem.

So Akira's appearance brings not survival, but destruction. Isn't Tetsuo's character problem a common one among the countless problems in this society? Isn't corruption at the top of the government enough for the people and the military to ponder? Isn't the military's attempt to use high technology to create absolute order under absolute power worthy of opposition?

The technology in this film is used to stimulate human potential, and in reality, the biggest use of technology is to develop productivity. However, no matter how good the economic foundation is, it also needs a suitable superstructure. Otherwise, the end of technology is not light, but darkness...............
