The military wanted to establish a force of superpowers, but Captain Super turned into Magneto. This was something the military never expected. They rebel when they have powers. What the hell is this?
Duran said that this is normal. It is not normal for all super-powered people to be heroes in Walter Company. Super-powered people must have different ideas. There will always be people who think that they should establish their own rules and think that there is no need for super-powered people to obey ordinary people.
People and society should have people with superpowers making the decision.
But Magneto always fails, so let's see how good Captain Super is.
Captain Super gave a passionate speech directly on the TV station, saying: "Dear superpowers, we should not obey the orders of ordinary people who are ignorant and backward. They are selfish and only plan for their own interests. Superpowers
Investors should build a perfect utopia instead of falling in this mortal world. Look at this world, plagues, wars, famines, climate deterioration, these are all mistakes caused by mortals. The sky is wailing, the earth is mourning, heaven and earth
They are all waiting for our superpowers to save them! I, Super Captain, today call on all the superpowers in the world to rise up, forge ahead, establish our rules, and save the world from the quagmire!"
Super Captain directly declared that all the problems in the world are caused by mortals, and that they, the superpowers, can do better.
Such words were very seductive, so many superpowers gathered around Super Captain. The superpowers wanted to establish their own norms, occupy a piece of land, and build their own system.
Duran watched the whole show, and he knew that it was basically impossible for Super Captain to succeed because they not only faced external pressure, but also faced internal differences.
"Super Captain wants to create a society composed entirely of citizens. This thing has been tested before." Duran knew that it would be okay at the beginning, but as time went on, fierce conflicts would arise. Because only citizens
Society will also be divided into free people.
Nobles, citizens, freedmen, slaves, and citizens hope to build an utopia. A society without aristocrats, freedmen, slaves, and only citizens is a utopia, an utopia.
This is not just a novel, many people have practiced it. Finding a closed place worked fine at first, but then it stopped working.
There are many novels, such as "Lord of the Flies", in which a group of children are equal at first, but then quickly differentiate. For example, "Animal Farm" also tells the story of animals driving away the owner of the farm, and then becoming equal for a short period, and then quickly differentiate.
In fact, they all wanted to establish a complete civil society, but the result was even more brutal than the original society. Citizens quickly split into nobles, citizens, freedmen, and slaves.
Why? Of course it’s because this is how Western society works. It can’t run on citizens alone. Citizens are just a part of society. They always ignore the role of nobles, free people, and slaves. They always think that they can do it on their own, but the result is differences of opinion.
No one was convinced, and in the end he could only speak violently.
Are citizens necessarily equal? In fact, citizens are also divided into old, weak, sick and disabled, and have different IQs and various differences.
There are also experiments in reality. A rich man once established a closed community. It was good at first, but it soon collapsed. It was good at first because the rich man had money, but when the rich man ran out of money, conflicts kept popping up.
.
Can a society be supported by people with superpowers alone? Duran is not optimistic. Whether it is fiction or reality, once social resources are insufficient, civil society will immediately collapse.
"When encountering a resource crisis, the Western habit is for nobles and citizens to pool resources to suppress freedmen and slaves in order to survive the crisis." Duran said that nobles and citizens would transfer the risk to freedmen and slaves, and every time
It’s all like this, it’s been like this since ancient Rome: “Even in the last century, civil rights were decentralized, but free people have not disappeared. There are two parties, the supporters of the ruling party are citizens, and the supporters of the opposition party are free people.”
Of course, in the ancient Roman era, free people could become citizens. After the Marius Reform, free people could become citizens through war.
The Roman Dream is when a person serves in the army for many years, acquires land, acquires slaves, and then retires to enjoy his old age, or participates in politics.
Therefore, there are often stories like this in Western movies, where a veteran is bullied and then takes revenge. The veteran is a citizen, and the gangsters who bully him are basically free people. Then the veteran beats the free people, which is very satisfying to watch. They will not reflect on why the veteran
The living environment is so poor. Why do free people break the law and commit crimes? There is no need to reflect. The division of labor in society is like this.
Citizens have equal obligations and rights, and they can be happy wherever they go. Free citizens have many obligations but few rights. If they don't commit crimes, they can join the army. Anyway, they are violent activities.
Of course, there are also some veterans who will be bullied by citizens. This is an old man bullying a newcomer. The veteran may have just been upgraded from a free citizen to a free citizen and has not yet become accustomed to the rules of citizenship. The veteran citizen gave him a blow, but he was killed in return.
It's quite fun to watch citizens beating up old citizens.
Citizenship is all about seniority. Either your parents are citizens, and you are a citizen at birth. Or you can join the army and bleed and sweat, and then come back and kneel in front of the ancestral hall of Western citizens.
This is actually the scholar-officials in the Central Plains. How to become a scholar-official? Either his parents were scholar-officials, or he could take part in the imperial examination, gain fame, and kowtow before the emperor.
The difference is that scholar-bureaucrats have a clear system, with detailed official positions, clear scope of work, and ways of assessment and supervision. Citizens, on the other hand, are in chaos. They seem to be equal, but in fact, it depends on seniority, appearance, family background, and age.
The retainers in the Warring States Period were pretty much the same. When everyone got together, there was no distribution. They just came to recommend themselves when something happened, or they were nobles with a keen eye. They ate and drank, watched gladiatorial fights, went to bathhouses, and participated in elections when nothing happened.
Citizens have a citizens' assembly and can fight for treatment from the aristocratic Senate.
The expenses of ancient Roman citizens were not small. Anyone who dared to cut expenses was the enemy of the citizens and an evil and evil monarch. Nero expressed his enthusiasm.
This can also be seen why the West always improves welfare benefits, because whoever cuts expenditures will not get support and will become a coward. Therefore, no matter which political party, they guarantee that citizens can improve their benefits.
"There is no such thing as the unkindness of the heaven and the earth, treating all things as dimples, and the unkindness of saints, treating the common people as dimples. Citizens want special treatment, and if the emperor doesn't give it, he is an evil king." Du Lan said that this point is consistent with Yongzheng's principle of "one body, one body, one body, one body, one body, one body, one body, one body, one body"
In the same way, Yongzheng was a wise king when he treated the scholar-bureaucrats. Once he started asking the scholar-bureaucrats to serve as errands and pay food, Yongzheng would be unforgivable.
In short, Duran is not optimistic about people with superpowers establishing their own rules, but since he wants to establish one, let's build it and see if it can be supported for a few months.
Many people with super powers gather together and follow the super captain. The super captain does not arrange work, but allocates houses and food to the visitors, and then allows them to live freely. They can develop hobbies and enjoy their time comfortably.
There is a problem, food will not grow on the shelves, and there will not always be enough houses. When more houses and more food are needed, who will farm the land, build, and produce?
There are two options. One is for citizens to use their old skills and fight to rob. The other is to split off the free people and let the free people produce, so that a small number of citizens can continue to enjoy life.
In just two months, Super Captain's resources were stretched thin. At this time, the surrounding landowners and gentry were also building high walls and getting ready to defend against robbery. They also hired superheroes as bodyguards.
