- Chapter 1,345 Gold Worship
¡ª¡ªMany sociologists and historians believe that human social systems are constantly improving. This is indeed the case. The latest chapter of Nian Hua Le Lang, however, the problem is that the conclusions drawn about the direction and content of progress are very problematic. Got it
Basically, no matter what kind of social system it is, it is just a continuation of private ownership. It emphasizes the control of a few people over the majority of people, and the control of a few people over most of the materials in society.
That¡¯s right, what has improved is only the method and efficiency of control, not other
Of course, ordinary people will feel that modern life is better, so it is a kind of institutional progress. They are free, rich and powerful, and can take charge of their own affairs. Novel chapter
However, the real situation is that what has changed is only the desire to control, not the essence.
Comparing history, we can see that the advancement of feudalism over slavery lies in the transformation of production methods. However, in fact, farmers are still controlled by slave owners. In many cases, there is almost no difference between farmers and slaves.
Not to mention the manor economy in Western Europe, even China, which has achieved centralization, still imposes harsh restrictions on farmers in many aspects, reducing their political power and economic interests, as well as their living space.
In ancient China, it was a crime for farmers to leave their hometown without official approval. What is the difference between this and slaves?
?Perhaps many people will say that farmers have their own private property, while slaves do not have any. Well, let¡¯s consider this to be a fact. Then we can count the amount of property owned by farmers and the length of time they have been held.
It is not difficult to find that having nothing is the best evaluation of farmers. Or we should ask, who are the proletarians?
Most people are just livestock. You have to work for some people, and then turn over most of the output. What is left is to maintain your personal needs, including survival, development, and enjoyment.
Slaves only have basic subsistence consumption, farmers are better and get a little development consumption, while modern workers are even better, and have basically begun to spread to the stage of hedonic consumption.
But can it change the essence?
Polynaed in a fixed place to eat the food provided by humans, live in a house that is limited to humans, and then contribute to your own flesh to repay ¡®raising the grace¡¯
Of course, high-end puffers even have the enjoyment of listening to music and blowing air conditioning, but then they are not puffers? Can you escape being slaughtered and cooked by humans?
?Perhaps, we should also be grateful to the owners who raise them and shed tears of happiness, even if sometimes the owners use unhealthy food to 'raise' them
The difference between running a country and running a pig farm is just that they are different in nature. But not every pig knows its own destiny.
They don¡¯t even know the past history or their current position. It¡¯s natural that they have to fight for the interests of the entire pig farm their entire lives.
Of course, human beings are creatures with high intelligence. With the development of productivity, this improvement in intelligence is also difficult to contain. Therefore, the ruling class has to find new managers one after another to regain control of regional farms.
From the complete political control and wealth deprivation in ancient times, the degree of oppression was gradually reduced. It was not until the advent of the Han Dynasty that the best Mubai moneyism was discovered by the Jewish financiers who emerged following the boom in trade at that time.
Humanity's infinite desire for material wealth makes people willingly put this shackles on themselves and enjoy it. When this idea gradually became popular throughout the Western world, bankers were finally able to occupy the throne of wealth and watched the whole world with joy. The earth falls into their hands
First, complete the conquest of the Old Continent of Europe, use the wars of European countries to lend money to them, and then control their currency and finance, and then control their physical production.
Then came the discovery of the New World and the establishment of the United States. The financiers once again held their heads high and had a free land, a free economic society without moral and power constraints. This is the dream paradise of all capitalists.
These people determine the work and life of the vast majority of people in society, and even determine the entertainment of most people. In the past, they often couldn't pass the highly efficient control and extremely inflammatory education and brainwashing. All living beings are like sheep, they are the livestock that they have obtained from the sun. That's all
This is the most real situation in this world. Of course, you can believe in the standardized education you have received, long for material wealth and everything that exceeds your needs for survival, and finally devote your life to the cage designated by others.
This is the influence of money worship. It is everywhere and pervasive, controlling the vast majority of the population, but you may not be aware of your situation.
