The original "Starship Paratroopers" is the most influential work of science fiction master Heinlein, and it has been controversial since it won the Hugo Award in 1959. In terms of hard science fiction, this work has created some profound concepts for the future - worm-like alien races, power armor, huge cosmic fleets... etc., and the most controversial is the human future society it depicts, In the 1950s, the United States had just defeated the fascist Nazis and militaristic Japan, and ushered in the wave of international communism. Domestic far-right ideology and anti-communist McCarthyism prevailed, and foreign countries could have a third world war with the Soviet Union at any time. A full-scale nuclear war. Therefore, the human society in Starship Troopers with non-American liberal democratic values has been criticized by McCarthyists. Some people commented that the idea of big humanism originated from Nazi-style propaganda of racial superiority. Some people think that a unified government for all mankind is propaganda In communist ideology, some people think that the government that integrates the military and the government is a response to militarism... In short, nothing is close to the values of the US government, and the so-called liberal and democratic US has actually become a political issue in the international political confrontation, and has been promoted. From a political symbol and moral commanding heights, anyone who does not advocate these is "evil" and will be overthrown by the Americans. This Cold War mentality is still lingering in American society, and eventually no big-name stars and big directors dare to take this for a long time. The hot script of "politically incorrect", Fox, Warner, Universal and other filmmakers do not want to be invited to tea by the US government, so until now, only Sony can be used to make animations. But the truth is that the people who have brought the greatest suffering to the world since World War II are precisely the Americans under the banner of freedom and democracy. When George W. Bush wanted to fight Iraq, he would at least have to speak righteously and democratize human rights for a period of time to win over friends. The development of Trump has become impatient and has become "America First", and others owe them if they are not Americans. When the Spanish conquistadors came to this land 400 years ago, they killed Aziz in the name of God. Like the Teks, Mayans and Incas. Heinlein is a real leader. What he sees may be exactly the truth of society 500 years later. In my opinion, the unified human government in Starship Troopers is the best result of Datong thought. When human beings face the crisis of extinction of their own species, the anthropomorphic ideology of racial superiority is the most necessary political attitude to unite all human beings. The so-called works include militarism. In fact, the first militaristic country in the world was the Qin state after Shang Yang's reform. Under the national policies of non-farming, war and military merit, this militaristic country finally divided the East Asian continent. unified into a superpower, and for the next two thousand years each time The rise of a superpower government in this eastern continent can be traced back to the shadow left by this militaristic country. Human beings keep moving forward. As long as it is beneficial to the whole human race, they will eventually be integrated into it. The Zerg may not be discovered, but the Datong world will eventually happen in hundreds of years. This is Confucianism, Taoism, and Mahayana Buddhism. , until Marxist socialism, the laws that modern economics has gradually enriched and demonstrated. And how to finally go to Datong is obviously impossible to rely on the American conquerors under the banner of "democracy and human rights".
