1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

You ask, from the perspective of these people, are they willing to be exploited or not?

When some Internet leftists hear the phrase "exploitation is meritorious", they react immediately, completely ignoring the actual situation and sarcastically shouting a few Marxist-Leninist phrases, as if they have become teachers or great people.

Yes, from the perspective of Marxist-Leninist theory and the ethics of a communist, exploitation is undoubtedly evil, hateful, and should be eliminated by history. There is no room for doubt.

But the problem is that you are currently unable to eliminate exploitation. The existence of this exploitation is actually beneficial to the country, society, and the people. Why do you ignore the reality and cry out for its elimination?

What happens after it’s eliminated?

Let's go back to the countryside to farm together?

Oh, without industrial products like fertilizers and pesticides, you might not be able to grow anything in the fields.

No one really thinks that even if they have no capital at all, they can still "pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely see the southern mountains," right?

The most likely reason is that the chrysanthemums were not picked, but were picked by someone else;

I didn't see Nanshan, but I did see quite a few men.

In short, this is the historical Zhao Ziqi.

What kind of problems does Zhao Ziqi, the current "Chairman of the Central Government of the Five-Star Oriental Republic," face?

On this side, Fujiwara Kanezane wanted to strictly restrict the entry of Japanese capital and Japanese companies, vigorously introduce Chinese capital and companies to invest and build factories in Northeast China, and increase the proportion of state-owned and Chinese capital in Northeast China;

This is because if the Chinese in Northeast China want to gain respect and status, it is far from enough to rely on promoting a few officials, using administrative orders, and suppressing with personal prestige. The Chinese must occupy a dominant position in social and economic activities to obtain it;

However, most of China's outstanding entrepreneurs are dismissive or worried and unwilling to come. Those who come crying and clamoring are mostly trash, vampires and those with ulterior motives.

Over there, CCP and non-CCP cadres made the same mistakes that have been made in history:

Land reform was already underway in Jiangxi and other places, and the first thing they did upon arriving in the Northeast was also "land reform," using even more drastic measures than those used by the CCP. Although it was a "business counterpart," they naturally brought some rural methods into urban management.

Among them, there were a few "leftists" who could not be suppressed or persuaded and insisted on abolishing all the urban business owners and dividing the businesses directly among the workers. Fujiwara Kanezane had no choice but to ask Wu Hao to order them to be taken back.

Damn it, without the business owners, workers can indeed run the business normally, but the workers have to be workers who have mastered advanced productive forces!

What do these illiterate workers in China have mastered?

Many people can't even figure out addition and subtraction within 100!

Giving the enterprise to them would be politically correct, but the enterprise would certainly go bankrupt.

That's why Zhao Ziqi has been so eager to emphasize on various occasions that the Republic's government "obeys the law," "is non-discriminatory," "does not look at the source of capital," and "respects the interests of entrepreneurs," hoping to attract more Chinese companies to invest.

As a Communist Party member, whether it is the "exploitation is beneficial" theory or "worrying about the lack of exploitation," it is somewhat inappropriate, but it is only inappropriate;

Does this mean Zhao Ziqi is a spokesperson for capitalism?

What?

Are you planning to replicate the political struggle in the Five-Star Eastern Republic?

"... Exploitation is certainly useless, but capitalist exploitation is necessary and undeniable in China, where small peasant society currently dominates the economy, as it can better mobilize resources and give play to the important role of the market in resource allocation."

"So, for a Communist Party member like Zhao Ziqi, it's definitely inappropriate for him to say this in public, but criticism is fine. There's no need to exaggerate, because this is the reality of seeking truth from facts..."

"Furthermore, as 'the number one running dog of the Japanese prince,' Comrade Zhao Ziqi's remarks can actually better conceal his identity and position, and facilitate the further development of genuine revolutionary work."

“That’s my opinion.

"good!

After hearing Mark's opinion, Li Desheng smiled and applauded:

"Well said! Seek truth from facts, seek truth from facts! If everyone in the Party could do this, there wouldn't be so many meaningless disputes!"

"Why? There's a huge debate within the Communist Party of China about what kind of economic system the country should adopt in the future.

"You should have known that Comrade Bian Yanzhi Ma Shiwu was reading various confidential documents beside me.

UMP45 stuck out her tongue.

"Oh, who made my commander not ask?

"It's more than just a huge controversy."

Li Desheng sighed softly:

"Your situation in the Northeast is a little better because you are in the 'enemy camp' and those comrades don't dare to fight too hard. Our management of Nanchang was really difficult..."

Because the SWRP was reluctant to fully disclose its existence, the CCP did not explicitly explain the identity of the new "supporters" to the entire party, leading many members to believe that UMP45 was sent by the Soviet Union.

Perhaps it was because the situation had improved, the sky had cleared, and the rain had stopped, that some people felt they were capable again. After occupying Nanchang and other places, they began to advocate "learning from the Soviet Union in all aspects."

That's fine, as learning from the Soviet Union, a model socialist country, is indeed essential. But the problem is, "comprehensive learning," right?

Are all Soviet things applicable to China?

The most important of these were military and economic. As for military issues, due to the successive victories of the Northward Anti-Japanese Corps and the Central Red Army of the Communist Party of China, not many people dared to question and point out the key points. But it was different in the economic field.

As we all know, before the SRP's aid, the CCP was extremely poor and at one point almost had no food to eat. They were indeed somewhat lacking in confidence when discussing economic issues, even though many things were not their fault but were simply not allowed by objective conditions.

However, in contrast, the Soviet Union's economic achievements attracted worldwide attention, and even US President Field publicly praised it. This led to some "pro-Soviet" factions being unable to refute it every time they used this as an argument.

They use data on how the planned economy brought about rapid development in the Soviet Union to prove their point. What do you other factions have to say? Are you talking about your head?

“…It’s really a headache.

This time, it was Mark's turn to hold his forehead.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be a supreme and final "King of the Northeast". At least when he wants to implement many policies, there will be much less resistance.

But the CCP is different. Its "democratic centralism" is in place. All major issues must be thoroughly discussed and deliberated within the party before being brought to the decision-making level. The decision-making level also needs intense debate before a final decision can be reached.

This way, decision-making is of course much slower than pure dictatorship, but it maximizes the unity of thought, unites comrades, ensures the accuracy of decision-making, and prevents deviations after policy implementation.

One difference is that Communist Party members under the Northeast tend to carry out orders more mechanically, but Communist Party members under the CCP have stronger subjective initiative.

However, at present, since many policies in Northeast China are based on future experience and have been previewed by human-shaped AI, not only are decisions made quickly and with a high accuracy rate, its development is far better than that of the areas ruled by the CCP.

But this is not an institutional advantage, it is purely the result of the crushing power of future technology and future memory.

"...The only thing to be thankful for is that the atmosphere within the Party is much better now than before. Although everyone is arguing fiercely, under the control of the Party Central Committee, it cannot escalate into a political struggle. The few who tried to label others as capitalist-roaders have also been stopped."

"Comrade Desheng, what do you think? What kind of economic system do you think the country should adopt in the future?

"Didn't you just make it very clear? Seek truth from facts!"

“How can we seek truth from facts?

"Hey, you little comrade...are you testing me?

Li Desheng smiled and pointed at Mark, giving his own conclusion:

We, the Communist Party of China, must acknowledge that, at this stage and even for a considerable period of time in the future, it will be difficult for China to implement a so-called pure 'socialist economic' model. The private sector will still occupy an important position.

"In today's China, implementing a Soviet-style planned economy is doomed to fail. It would deal a huge blow to social and economic vitality, and the people would not accept it. We must face this reality;"

“So, the economic system we want to implement is...

Mark suddenly interrupted:

"With public ownership as the main body, multiple mixed ownership economies run in parallel?

Li Desheng's eyes lit up and he also said

"Adhere to the socialist system, uphold the absolute status of public ownership, give full play to the leading role of the public economy, gradually transform the private economy, and ultimately realize socialism!

“Distribution according to work is the main form, and other distribution methods are respected;

“Rationally adjust the distribution model and maintain social fairness and justice;

“Everything must be based on changes in actual conditions and the economic system must be continuously optimized;

"Ensure a high degree of compatibility between the economic and political systems, and continuously promote the joint development of productivity and production relations!"

The two of them finished each other's words, then looked at each other for a few seconds, and then clapped their hands and laughed!

Li Desheng hadn't been so excited for a long time.

He always had his own views on economic issues, but it was difficult to find someone who agreed with him. Unexpectedly, this person came from another communist party.

Mark was also filled with emotion.

What is Yingcai?

This is.

With just a hint or a little guidance, his vision can be advanced by several decades, and he can then easily penetrate to several decades later.

So, this is the real capable person, and I am just a mediocre person who is lucky enough to gain future advantages.

"..Now that we've reached a consensus on this issue, how do you plan to convince your comrades within the party?"

"Can't you help, Comrade Mark?

"I don't understand theoretical stuff, this is the same as last time, you come

Well, you are right. The author of "Three Represents" does not understand theory.

Alas?

There is a feeling of déjà vu.

Li Desheng quietly rolled his eyes and could only say to himself:

"In fact, the Party Central Committee has basically reached a consensus: we should follow socialism, but we should not elevate it to the level of ideology; we should oppose capitalist exploitation, but we should not reject its useful tools. To put it bluntly, we should follow neither capitalism nor socialism, but our own path.

"As for the rest of you comrades, let time prove who is right and who is wrong!

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"I actually quite like some of these comrades. They have their own ideas and opinions, and they don't follow others blindly or act recklessly. After all, even I myself cannot guarantee what adjustments I would make to economic policies if actual conditions require it.

"Learn from the Soviet Union in all aspects", planned economy, and the Great Leap Forward.

He really is worthy of it.

554 Women's Rights Are Women's Privileges

Again, Li Desheng has never been a pedantic and rigid person.

Although he has a clear vision of the future, he will not blindly charge forward recklessly. Instead, he will constantly adjust policies based on objective reality. He will not demand things that cannot be done at the current stage, but will objectively acknowledge them.

"...Indeed, according to the data you provided, farmers in Northeast China earn a considerable income working in the city, far more than farming. If I were a farmer, I'd probably be willing to be exploited like that!"

Due to large-scale investment and construction, various projects have been fully launched, there are many job opportunities but a shortage of people, and coupled with multiple reasons such as labor protection, the wages of migrant workers in the entire Northeast region have now seen a brief surge.

How high did it soar?

Let me put it this way, taking one of the most respectable and best-paid jobs for female white-collar workers in Shanghai - telephone operator - as an example, the minimum starting monthly salary is 14 yuan (about 60 yuan for a team leader and around 160 yuan for a general foreman). Female workers in Shanghai don't even get as much as this.

(Note: At this time, the national government had not yet implemented legal tender, so according to the "National Currency Regulations" promulgated by the Beiyang government in 1914, one yuan was basically equal to one dollar. There were slight fluctuations in different places, which will not be discussed in detail here.)

(At that time, being a telephone operator was considered a high-tech and high-profile job, so the salary was very high. There was once an actress who felt that her monthly salary of 30 was not as good as that of other telephone operators, so she decisively gave up the opportunity to become a star and ran to do this job)

But what about migrant workers from Northeast China?

大字不识、只能卖力气的入行工能拿到10-20元，认识字、有一定工地工作经验的能拿到20-40元，部分“技术工种”则甚至可以达到60-180元。

Meals are usually provided at construction sites, so this is real money you get!

Before this, ordinary farmers in Northeast China were lucky if they could earn 5 yuan after just digging in the fields for a year. They had to pay 10 yuan to their ancestors for sacrifice. Even if they worked hard as farmhands, they would only get "annual pension of 15-40 yuan" after working hard.

Moreover, the economic situation in recent years was not good, and wages continued to decline. In 1929, it was as high as 60 yuan, 1930 was 50 yuan, 1931 was 40 yuan, 1932 was 35 yuan, and 1933 was 30 yuan.

So, if you can earn as much in a month as you did in a year, or even more, do you think the farmers will be willing to send their children to school, send them to the 129th Division to join the army, and actively support all of Fujiwara no Kanezane's policies?

Many middle-class citizens are very excited!

Yes, working on a construction site is tiring and dangerous, but if it can improve their lives and change their destiny, the Chinese people have never been afraid of taking risks or hard work. They don’t need any PUA, they will work hard on their own.

If you follow the government's instructions and diligently study science and technology and cultural knowledge, abide by laws and regulations, and become a worker in the future, it will be a godsend opportunity. If you miss it, you will be cursed to death by your ancestors!

“It is normal for migrant workers to earn money on construction sites now, but it is hard to say in the future.

"What do you mean? Will the number of projects started gradually decrease, and the demand for labor gradually decrease?

"That's one thing. On the other hand, there's the contradiction between people's ever-growing material and cultural needs and the backward productivity and production relations. Last year, a monthly salary of 10 yuan allowed a migrant worker to improve the lives of his entire family. What about this year? Next year? The year after?

"Well...it's true...so from the beginning, we must establish rules to protect the people's most basic rights from being violated, to ensure that their income can grow equally with social and economic development, and not just let the exploiters make money.

"Yes, under current conditions, communism is still a long way off. It's impossible to completely avoid capitalist exploitation because we don't have enough power to unify and manage the entire society. So we can only focus on income distribution..."

Speaking of which, although the employment volume in Northeast China has soared to a historical high, the Republic's labor arbitration department is surprisingly not very busy, and major companies are surprisingly very law-abiding, especially in terms of labor protection.
