    "An out-of-control administrative team?" After hearing this prophecy, Dena couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know how to answer this question for a while.  "I know, you may come up with some such methods." Scrooge said with a gentle smile, as if Dana was still a child who has not grown up. "First, you may plan to severely crack down on those who try to use power for personal gain."  Revolutionary traitors. Seriously clean up the party ranks and expel as many degenerate elements as possible from the leadership ranks. This is not useless, but it will only slow down the speed at which the administrative ranks get out of control.  The problem cannot be solved fundamentally. Moreover, those degenerate elements will not sit still and resist. They will resist in various ways, legal, illegal, peaceful, and unpeaceful. You will also use all means, legal.  Use illegal, peaceful, and unpeaceful means to suppress them, just like what you did to the Constituent Assembly on January 5. What you did at that time was not at all legal or democratic.  Just be honest. Ah, don't make excuses. I know it is necessary for you to do this. You made a mistake when you agreed to hold an election in the first place. It is impossible for any election to change the economic infrastructure of the entire society.  Those who want to destroy this structure have an advantage. To be honest, your initial approach was too naive. Fortunately, you didn't realize that something was wrong, and you still know how to use violence to break the situation.  The situation is different from January 5th. Your enemy is yourself. No one is willing to give up the benefits they can get. How can you suppress the entire administrative team and the entire bureaucracy for a long time?  At this point, Scrooge couldn't help but think of those "I came to Hebei Province" (German: I am alone) in history to fight against the entire bureaucracy, forcing them to be honest public servants of the people, and controlling them not to use power for personal gain or anything like that.  What are the final results of those characters?  In ancient China, no king hated those corrupt officials who preyed on the common people more than Ming Taizu. He sent various investigation agencies to supervise officials. He allowed and encouraged ordinary people to complain about official corruption. He was strict in enforcing the law and killed  Corrupt officials are not merciful, and they use all kinds of new tricks.  What was the result?  As a result, once Zhu Yuanzhang died, Ming Dynasty immediately became corrupt in all kinds of ways.  And Zhu Yuanzhang, who blocked everyone from getting rich, was also unanimously portrayed as a sadistic pervert and an ungrateful tyrant.  In the original time and space, that is, in Soviet Russia, Iron Man stood out from the internal melee, and then continued to clean up the Soviet Russian bureaucracy again and again. However, as soon as he died, the bureaucracy immediately rebounded, and then,  Tetsuo's image completely became a projection of Satan.  A few decades later, the bureaucracy simply divided the Soviet Union.  "We are not alone, we represent the interests of the majority of people, and the majority of people stand with us. Of course we can suppress and defeat those fallen traitors." Dena seemed a little excited.  In Scrooge's opinion, this kind of excitement is exactly the sign of panic.  "Believe in the masses, rely on the masses. Come from the masses, go to the masses. The eyes of the masses are sharp." Scrooge said with a sarcastic smile, "But Dana, the people have two big problems. One problem  It's because they don't have the time or energy to understand and supervise the operation of the state machinery. As I said before, the organization of social production is so complicated that non-professionals can't understand it. " "But are those guys corrupt?  There was no use of power for personal gain, but everyone could see it," Dena interjected.  "Yes, the people's eyes are sharp after all." Scrooge shook his head indifferently, "But their organization is very problematic." "Revolution is to wake up the people and organize them.  "Dena said.  "Then the part that makes up the organization may break away from the masses and become new bosses." Scrooge said coldly, "They will also form their own interest strata, and they may also degenerate into new bureaucrats."  Zhi thought again of the great man in the history of the Red Rabbit Kingdom. His controversial actions in his later years were also because he felt that the original revolutionary was quickly becoming divorced from the masses, interests and the masses.  What about the inconsistent bureaucracy?  Is it because of this concern that he tried to let the masses participate in national politics through direct intervention?  Scrooge didn't know if he thought so. He only knew that this great man who was invincible in his life did not win the final battle.  It is said that when a certain bald eagle commander came to visit the Red Rabbit Kingdom, he once praised him for changing the world.  But the old man shook his head and said: "Not that much. In fact, I only changed a little bit of things in China." Many years ago, when Scrooge saw this record, he only described it as  The passage is understood as general humility.?But now, when Scrooge recalls this passage, he feels more of a deep exhaustion.  "Dena," Scrooge said seriously, "I admit that the communist system is indeed extremely perfect from a mathematical point of view and is full of a kind of mathematical beauty. Perhaps there is nothing else in the world that is better than  It is even more attractive. I am even willing to say that if it can really be realized, then it will be worthwhile to shed blood for it. Maybe there is nothing in the world except for the cause of communism.  Anything else that's really worth sacrificing one's life for. Even with me, if communism is really feasible, I'm willing to work for it, after all, this is heaven on earth. But Dena, communism is just that.  It's just an illusion. The Kingdom of Heaven will never exist on earth. Even if you establish a socialist country, it will degenerate into a capitalist den again after at most two or three generations.  In the end, it is destined to have only this result. Do you think it is worth it? " "Since communism is mathematically more perfect than capitalism, it is worth working for it," Dena replied, "When the steam engine first appeared, it was far better than nothing.  Get on the horse. When capitalism was first established, the life expectancy of the British people plummeted. Uncle Scrooge, I admit that the problems you mentioned are indeed very difficult, at least for now.  I didn't come up with any good solutions." Dena calmed down at this time, "But I am still very grateful to Uncle Scrooge for these valuable reminders. Maybe these reminders can help us avoid many failures.  "It's useless, Dana, it's useless." Scrooge said, shaking his head.  I started from a family of craftsmen, and now I have become the richest person in the world. Moreover, I have made great achievements in many aspects. I think, maybe, I can say without humility that in this era,  , there are not many people smarter than me, right? To be honest, I have been thinking about these issues since I was dating Mr. Marx. However, to be honest, I have never come up with anything that is really feasible.  I don't think you and your comrades can do anything good. Stop doing such futile things. It's useless." "No, Uncle Scrooge, I think you are too arrogant and contemptuous.  The people. Indeed, the people, at least the people of Russia, are still numb and ignorant, just like the French at the time of Robespierre. But time will change all this. It is true that economic activities will become more and more complex, but in the future.  Without deliberate exploitation, the development of new technologies will greatly improve production efficiency. Therefore, in the long run, human labor intensity will definitely decrease, at least, it must decrease after we have it.  "At this point, Dena suddenly smiled, "Because we have such a role model, if you still suppress the workers as much as you do now, they will revolt. So you can give us whatever benefits we give to the workers.  Give the same.  We don't need to think about profit.  We will never have insufficient demand. Anyway, what we produce can be directly distributed without any need for market exchange.  It's different for you. If you want to establish a welfare system, it will be like committing suicide.  This is especially true when an economic crisis breaks out.  Therefore, it is very likely that you will be the first to be unable to hold on.  Ah, I seem to be a little off topic. Well, as labor intensity and labor time decrease, and the general level of education increases, the people's level of understanding will also increase, even if it does not reach the point where everyone can fully understand the operation of the country.  , we can see the tricks of some traitors, but many people, or more and more people, can have this ability, as long as we insist on educating them as the masters of the country and teaching them to see the truth of the world.  Learn the real, useful things, just like Uncle Scrooge taught Donald and me.  In that case, I believe the people will have the time, energy, and knowledge to truly manage the country well.  " "Dena, this is not easy.  This is just a faint hope.  Although I cannot completely deny the possibility of it, I am sure that I will not be able to see that day, and most of you will not be able to see that day either.  Humanity has traveled more than a hundred years from feudalism to capitalism. In fact, as you know, the leap from feudalism to capital is much smaller than the leap from capitalism to socialism.  Therefore, your struggle may not necessarily have a result for hundreds of years.  Why do you do something like this that you know will not get results?  Listen to me and come back to the family, Dena.  " said Scrooge. "Uncle Scrooge, do you remember a parable from Thus Spoke Zarathustra?  Dana suddenly asked, "'Man is a rope between animals and supermen, a rope hanging over the abyss.  A dangerous crossing, a dangerous journeyThe journey is a dangerous review, a dangerous stand and stay.  The great thing about man is that he is a bridge rather than a goal; the lovely thing about man is that he is a kind of transition and decline.  'Uncle Scrooge, in my opinion, the man who crosses this rope is great, and the man who falls off in the middle is also respectable. Only those who are afraid of this rope will stay on the other end of the beast, or climb out for two seconds.  It is truly despicable to step forward and then turn back.  Those who realize that they are not correct and discover possible correct directions but dare not take action are still like monkeys or even insects to this day.  Do you want to persuade me to be a monkey or a bug?  " "Ah, Dena, are you saying that I am an old monkey?  You are still so sarcastic.  "Well," said Scrooge, "I know your ambition."  Although I disagree with you, I am very proud to have such a truly brave person in the McDonald family.  Okay, let's talk about our business now.  You know, I hate the industrial countries of Europe far more than I hate you.  So, I want to help you grow up, industrialize, and build the world's first welfare system.  Then, those guys in Europe will either have to rely on deficit finance to imitate you, and then their labor costs will be ridiculously high, and then we can easily defeat them in the market.  Either they must launch a war against you. The better prepared you are and the more successful your industrialization is, the greater the scale of the war will be and the greater the damage to European industry will be.  Then after Europe is smashed to pieces, we can not only take away their colonies, but even control the entire Europe.  " "Aren't you afraid that we will liberate all of Europe during the war?  "Dena asked. "Even if God bless you again, those guys in Europe will not wait until your strength clearly exceeds theirs before launching a war.  For you, the best-case scenario is nothing more than a close and hard-fought battle.  What's more, we can intervene at any time, and you won't have the chance to liberate all of Europe.  "Scrooge replied, "After this, you too are exhausted, and then, do you think there is anything better for us?  " "You are so candid.  "Dena said, "However, things may not always go as you want.  " "What, you are not interested in cooperating with us?  asked Scrooge. "No, how could it be?"  "Dena smiled and replied, "At least you are willing to sell us a rope with which to hang the European capitalists.  One day in the future, aren't you worried that this rope will also strangle the capitalist system?  " "Ah, Dana, the great Sun King said: 'After I die, who cares about the flood?  '" Scrooge replied.  In July 1926, Dzerzhinsky, chairman of the All-Hungry Counterrevolutionary Committee, died of a heart attack. On his deathbed, he recommended his deputy Varya Ivanlov to the Party Central Committee  In February 1929, Valya Ivanlovna began to take charge of foreign trade and the acquisition of foreign industries.  and technology.
