Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 332 Perspective
In Goff City and around the world, certain companies, such as industry giants such as precision machinery, aerospace, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, monopolize and dominate the global high-end manufacturing industry.

Although they represent advanced productive forces, they are unable to form capital power or control social discourse due to their lack of political privileges.

These enterprises, such as a certain mechanical and electrical company and some German companies, although technologically advanced, belong only to the third class - Vaishya - under the framework of the caste system.

The Brahmins and Kshatriyas only needed to wave their hands gently and they would be forced to offer their wealth respectfully.

"Next, it's the Shudras!" Li Zhao held up his fourth finger with a hint of sarcasm on his face. "The Shudras are made up of high-ranking servants and craftsmen who serve meals and cook. They are the largest caste."

"In this city, they are the lower class of white and black people who work hard but can barely make ends meet."

Shi Fei sighed and added: "On the international stage, they are suppliers of low-end production and resources. For example, Dongda, which has taken over the transfer of manufacturing, enjoys the reputation of 'world factory', but is restricted by technical standards and the US dollar settlement system. They undertake the dirtiest and most tiring work, but cannot earn the due reward."

In the international system, the University of Tokyo has always been in an exploited position, so it is inevitable to pursue independence, technological innovation and a new discourse system. These problems are reflected in China, that is, many people work hard but still find it difficult to get rich.

Because in the international system, the most profitable and lucrative industries are in the hands of others. In this system, others can make money without doing anything, and at the same time, they can accuse you of not taking a break, working overtime, and not having employee benefits from a moral perspective.

It's really shameless.

"Some people say there is a problem with the allocation, and this problem is correct." Shi Fei said: "The allocation of the entire international system is indeed not right!"

This is the necessity of counter-hegemony.

"Yes!" Li Zhao said, "We all remember what those people did, and sooner or later they will pay us back!"

He held up a fifth finger and continued, "In Goff, there is another forgotten class in society - the Dalits. They are not even considered human beings."

"For example, homeless people, illegal immigrants and run people. These people are the lowest level of Dalits. In the caste system, Dalits are regarded as dirty beings. Their "filth" can even be transmitted to others through contact, so they must stay away from the public."

Li Zhao seemed a little drunk, and said with his heart open: "The caste system is hereditary and unchanged. In today's Gaofu City, the chances of rising for the lower class are almost zero."

"Squids play finance, white leftists play politics and technology, white rightists run large farms, blacks sing and dance rap and play basketball, Chinese are coders, and Mexicans wash dishes and mow lawns. Based on their occupations, different ethnic groups are gradually divided into different levels."

"They keep preaching that low castes are equal to low morals and rich people are saints with high moral standards. The reason why Shudras are poor is because they are lazy and those who sympathize with Shudras or even marry them are considered mixed castes."

"In Goff City, it is almost impossible for lower-class white people to marry the daughters of the petty middle class. The gap between them is as insurmountable as heaven and earth."

Shi Fei sighed. At first glance, the caste system seemed to have nothing to do with Gaofu City, but after careful analysis, he found that they were closely linked and almost perfectly matched.

"Who could have thought that things would turn out like this. No wonder Indians are doing well in Goff City." Shi Fei picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Li Zhao.

"Yes, I talked to them." Li Zhao took a sip of wine and said sarcastically, "Indians are very familiar with this caste system, so they often become beneficiaries of this system and even become leaders of white people."

"After all, few people of other skin colors can become leaders of the white people." Shi Fei nodded and said, "Indeed."

"On the one hand, they are the 'cattle' that have been kept by the Brahmins under the caste system for a long time. On the other hand, they benefit from that special mentality."

India was colonized for one or two hundred years and was domesticated by the British for a long time, so it can be said that they are livestock raised by the Brahmins.

"The reason why the caste system is so stable is due to a peculiar mentality in Hinduism: Although I suffer in this life, the more I suffer and the greater the sins I endure, the more I will be reborn into a high caste in the next life."

"Don't think that I am suffering now, but my next life will be glorious. So, even though you bully me, I will win in the end."

"...Huh?" Shi Fei was stunned.

He had been wandering in dreams for so long, but he had never seen such a strange way of comforting himself.

"Isn't this just deceiving yourself?" Shi Fei said, "Besides, where is the afterlife?"

"So, this is the method of spiritual victory!" Li Zhao laughed, "As for the afterlife, how can you prove that it does not exist? What's more..." He pointed upwards, "This is a religious country. From our perspective, many things will seem incomprehensible."

“But if you look at it from the perspective of religious countries and understand their internal narratives, it makes sense.”

Shi Fei nodded thoughtfully and said, "But Gaofu City is a Christian country and does not preach the afterlife."

Li Zhao explained: "But they have built their own 'Western righteous world'. Because I am powerful now, I am civilized. Because you are against me, you are uncivilized. Because you are uncivilized, everything you do is wrong. I can stand on the moral high ground and accuse you."

"..." Shi Fei said with a smile: "What kind of bullshit logic is this! According to this theory, our country has been so powerful in history, so we have won."

"Haha~" Li Zhao couldn't help but slap the table and laugh, "Brother, what you said makes sense, very dialectical."

Being strong in the past does not mean being strong now. Being strong now does not mean being strong in the future. Strength is the result of many factors, which are both inevitable and accidental.

Objective materialism is to recognize facts and discover the relationship between things, rather than idealism of "because I am strong, so I am strong."

"Goff City's former strength was due to its industry, right?" Shi Fei said, "In the caste system you just mentioned, industrial practitioners have no status, so their decline is inevitable!"

A group that has made great contributions to the country and the city has not received the social status it deserves. Isn't it natural for the empire to decline?

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Doesn't this further prove the existence of the caste system?"
