Chapter 383, the economic base and superstructure (3)

"What reactionary rulers? We are obviously the most enlightened rulers." Luciendao.

"Then we must be better at using these two tools," Joseph replied.

"Joseph, ignore this fool, let's continue the topic just now." Napoleon said.

"In these two methods, forceful suppression should be used with caution. If it is to be used, it must be rapid and strangled to death in the bud. What is the germination of the germination that we need to pay attention to the most? My brothers, the most dangerous germination is that organizations begin to appear at the bottom. If someone tries to organize the people at the bottom, we need to take measures immediately to destroy their organization. We can tolerate unorganized riots, but we must never tolerate organized even peaceful demonstrations. Because the organization itself means real power." Speaking of this, Joseph remembered the successful experience of a certain lighthouse country in later generations.

For a certain period of time, the Lighthouse Kingdom was actually just a "beacon of freedom" rather than a "democracy". At that time, the banner of democracy was still waving in the hands of its most dangerous enemy, the polar bear. At that time, the one who liked to promote democracy the world the most was not the Lighthouse Kingdom, but the honest and reliable bear.

At that time, under the leadership of a black pastor, a group of black men in the Lighthouse Kingdom began to attack the Lighthouse Kingdom system, asking the Lighthouse Kingdom for democracy. They also led hundreds of thousands of black people and white people from the bottom to the Lincoln Memorial for peaceful demonstrations.

It is said that it is a peaceful demonstration, but it is indeed a peaceful demonstration. The demonstration of hundreds of thousands of people, without even a piece of paper, is this dangerous organizational force? It is more dangerous than those who smashed and looted. Moreover, the black pastor also delivered a speech at the rally. Although the "non-violent and non-cooperation" set of things proposed in this speech are much more kind than things like "armed seizing power", it is also a guiding theory of rebellion. If there is theory, organization, and if it continues to develop, what is that? Therefore, the Lighthouse Kingdom decisively took the beheading measures and killed the black pastor with one shot.

After the black pastor, what else is the "Black Panther Party"? It is not the Black Panther who lets the people live a primitive life and pretends to be superheroes. They believe that changing the world must be done through long-term organization and mobilization of the people. They try to create revolutionary socialism from mass organizations and community program planning, provide free breakfast for poor children in the black community, and give political education to the community people. They hope to change the people's ideas bit by bit and give them the strength. Did they see it? They actually want to organize!

How to deal with them? Of course, it was a trick to behead them directly. Soon, the leaders of the Black Panther Party were either shot to death or thrown into prison. Then, then protested, there were naturally riots, but how threats could there be unorganized and undisciplined riots?

"Once we find that they have the meaning of being organized, just like the British textile workers' union, especially those who are organized and thoughtful, we must immediately take measures to dismantle them, including direct physical solutions. Of course, this may be costly, so it is best to use deception to use deception. Well, Napoleon, how can you do a piece of land without any planting, no matter how you sow, there will be no crop growing?" Joseph asked suddenly again.

"Ah, this is very simple." Napoleon said leaning against the soft seat back, "just let the ground be covered with weeds."

"It's right." Joseph said, and glanced at Lucien.

"I... give me more time to answer this question, maybe I can answer it." Lucien thought with a little guilty conscience.

"So what is weed? Of course, it looks like a worker's organization, but it is actually an organization of our organization." Joseph said, "What are the characteristics of the workers in our factories? The workers in our factories can be divided into two categories, one is ordinary workers with very high mobility, and the other is relatively stable technical workers. The situations of these two types of workers are also very different.

First of all, the wages of ordinary workers are quite low, far from being as good as those of skilled workers, and even not even as good as those of farmers. Our skilled workers, even the lowest-level skilled workers, have a salary of more than five times that of ordinary workers. As for the highest-end skilled workers, their income is already more than ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary workers.

One of the consequences of this is that although both skilled workers and ordinary workers are called workers, their lifestyles are completely different. For skilled workers, their lives are already acceptable. Ordinary workers can only be said to live on the line of food and clothing. But we have prepared a pressure relief valve for them, that is North America. One of their life goals is to earn enough money to buy a boat ticket and then go to North America.

Moreover, in terms of ethnic composition, they are also significantly different from skilled workers. More than half of the ordinary workers in our factories are foreigners holding green cards. Or, in other words, "preparing French people."

When talking about "preparing the French", Joseph couldn't help but smile proudly.

The so-called "preparatory French" can only become French citizens when they arrive in Louisiana. The green card in their hands is a certificate of "basic French test" and "swearing allegiance to France". Only with such documents can you buy land at low prices and get loan support at low interest rates. However, if they are involved in crimes or something while in France, they will be disqualified and deported. So, these "preparatory French" holding green cards are generally very honest and dare not cause trouble. Anyway, they will not stay in France for too long.

"These 'preparatory French' are very mobile. They don't stay here for a long time, so it's difficult to establish an organization. In addition, language issues, legal issues, and the exploitation issues of the guys in their hometowns are set off by them. Our exploitation is actually not particularly unbearable.

As for skilled workers, their situation is different. They are relatively stable. It can even be said that as long as our factory is fine, they may be able to work in the factory for a lifetime. In addition, their income is good, and their lifestyle is different from that of ordinary workers. Their lifestyle makes them emotionally closer to the upper level rather than the lower level. Their life is not bad. Even if they realize that we are plundering them, they must consider that once they fight, what they have now may be wiped out. They will complain and say strange things. When we bully them, they will shout "It hurts so much," but they will not really resist. Because they are afraid of losing everything they still have now. Therefore, they are also the easiest to be bought and controlled.

They have been in the factory for a long time and have little liquidity. Based on them, we have set up unions first. These unions seem to be used to protect the interests of workers, but in essence, they protect our interests. But not everyone can understand this.

Now this land is full of our weeds, and it is really hard for those who want to plant the fruits of revolution here, right? They need more effort to plant crops that can produce the fruits of revolution. At least they need to remove all of these weeds first. But those skilled workers or, we should call them workers aristocrats, will think that our union protects them, and then they will split from ordinary workers, they will protect these weeds, and then the insides of those workers will be ganged up. How good you say that."

"This is part of the deception of public opinion." Napoleon nodded, "It is indeed very inspiring. Is this part of the deception?"

"Of course, in addition to this, we should also deceive our thoughts." Joseph continued, "An important factor in the ability of a revolutionary organization to be organized is that they have the guidance of revolutionary ideas.

To be honest, before the Revolution, the living conditions of the French people were not bad compared with other neighboring countries. Whether it was the Italians, Spanish, Highlanders, Lowlanders, and even the Prussians in Austria, their lives were not better than those of the French, and most of them were worse than those of the French. Why couldn't I stand it first and wanted to start a revolution and rebel, but the French, not the people of these countries? Lucien, you can answer this question."

"Ah, I know this, because they do not have Voltaire and Rousseau." Lucien replied immediately.

"This statement is quite correct." Joseph nodded, "It is precisely because of the emergence of Enlightenment in France that Voltaire appeared and Rousseau and others said that they were mortal enemies in their lives, but after the revolution, they were sent to the Pantheon together, and they were still so close. If they knew about death, they would be afraid they would quarrel every day.

It was with these ideas that there were then various clubs organized around them, including the Jacobin Club. Without these ideas, France might not be the first to revolution. So, Lucien, do you know what your work includes?"

"I think it should be something a little more metaphysical than the 'our union' mentioned earlier. Well, 'our union' is the weed in the organization, and I, I am responsible for providing more advanced things with spiritual weeds."

"No, no, no, not like that." Napoleon shook his finger and said, "No."

"What is that?" Lucien was a little unhappy.

"What you want to plant is not weeds, but various kinds of poisonous weeds!" Napoleon replied.

After hearing this, Lucien habitually wanted to refute it, but thinking about it, it seemed that Napoleon was really justified, so he shut up.

"We want to promote theories that will benefit our rule. For example, we want to emphasize freedom and emphasize that economic freedom is the basis of all freedoms. In the case where we have such an advantage, any freedom is unilaterally beneficial to us.

Secondly, we should promote the "free lifestyle" and make the workers and nobles yearn for such a lifestyle. This lifestyle should make the workers and nobles yearn for them. Well, we can give them a name, which is called the middle class. Let them feel that they can work hard and can touch them with one jump, or their children can touch them. Let them be obsessed with such a "free lifestyle". Then they will become our firm supporters, even if we are actually exploiting them.

We also need to promote various entertainment and provide various entertainment that can consume people's energy. Many times, false entertainment can consume people's energy, make them immersed in illusions and immersed in false happiness, so as not to cause any trouble.

Well, we can tailor something like this for them.

First, sexual entertainment, open up the porn industry, lively election campaigns, endless war of words and abuse of various drugs. Second, the other is satisfaction entertainment, reporting boring things, such as cute animals, celebrity scandals, etc., plus various festivals and various commodity promotions, as well as popular entertainment, such as various theaters and competitions. Let them consume too much energy in the process and not think about those issues that should not be thought of.

In addition, the most likely class consciousness is the ordinary workers. We need to strengthen their foreign attributes. Once they have any actions that do not match our intentions, we will guide the contradictions towards ethnic conflicts. It is said that those foreigners have led our workers to ruin."

Disguising class contradictions as ethnic contradictions or even racial contradictions is also a common method used in later generations. The lighthouse country in later generations is best at this kind of thing. At this time, France also had the conditions to implement this set of things. The existence of a large number of self-cultivated farmers is equivalent to the red necks of the lighthouse country in later generations. And those Germans and the like can be equivalent to the Latin people in later generations of lighthouse countries. So Joseph felt that although he could not use such tricks for the time being, it would be good to prepare in advance.

"In addition, there are economic theories, we must seize the opportunity to make the people believe that we capitalists and they are not employment relationships, but cooperative relationships. We must leave a certain upward channel for the bottom. Although it does not require too much, we must have it. We must promote such examples as much as possible, encourage others to think of these lucky people to learn, and let them use all their strength to compete with each other for these channels..."
