1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Yes, you are absolutely right. This is not the trend of the times, nor the direction of future development. Industrial society does not need so many people, and it is not in line with communist practices. But communism has not yet arrived!

I was implementing advanced communist policies before communism came, and if I still implement these policies after communism comes, then wouldn't communism have come in vain?

In short, all policies are not necessarily better the more advanced they seem. They must be formulated based on actual conditions. People or things that are too advanced will generally be killed by overtaking.

Therefore, Li Desheng, who had made important instructions on rural women's work in the past due to the Ding Ling incident, certainly did not feel awkward (Chapter 437). Instead, he laughed and said:

"No wonder you made your marriage system so 'strict', causing great disgust among many of our comrades.

"Harsh? I don't think so at all.

Fujiwara Kanezane shrugged:

"I need farmers to farm, workers to produce, technicians to conduct research, and soldiers to fight. I need men who currently dominate social production activities. If I don't find a way to protect them, who should I protect?"

Judging from the surface of many marriage policies, the Communist Party of China's Republic and Fujiwara no Kanezane's Republic are very similar, but in fact there are huge core differences within them.

Simply put, the former was formulated for the purpose of women's liberation, the elimination of oppression and exploitation, and the realization of gender equality. It has a clear "communist" flavor and says very little about financial resources.

It has to be said that in China, where conservatism prevails, the CCP is not unjustly criticized as "communist and wife-sharing" because they have "freedom of marriage" and love, marriage, and divorce are all very "casual";

I marry you today, and tomorrow I decide you're no good, so I divorce you and immediately find someone else. Although this does have the flavor of the complete freedom of love in the communist era, most people really can't accept it, and many Communist Party members themselves cannot agree with it.

But it’s different in the Northeast. Although it also has some of the former’s content, such as freedom of marriage, fairness and liberation, it talks a lot about property.

It can even be said that apart from the first few articles and clauses, the rest of this marriage law almost entirely discusses property issues, especially focusing on protecting the property of men.

what?

love?

Sorry, this is not covered by Northeast Marriage Law.

Therefore, it would be strange if some more advanced-minded CCP cadres who went to work in Northeast China and saw this marriage law did not curse it as "feudalism" and "bourgeois legal rights."

But Li Desheng doesn't think so.

It's a very simple and clear truth - whoever works hard should be rewarded.

For a Communist Party member, you can ask him to make selfless contributions and be at the forefront even if there is no benefit for him.

But for ordinary people whose awareness has not yet reached that level, the best you can do is to publicize and promote it.

What is the main contradiction in China and the current main task of the Communist Party of China?

Before the emergence of the Seigeki Party and Fujiwara no Kanezane, there was no doubt that the cause was to resist Japan and save the nation. However, after he created such a situation, the CCP leaders who knew the inside story suddenly realized that things were a little different:

Huh?

It seems we don’t need to fight against Japan anymore, because the Japanese are here to help us.

Although this is an exaggeration and the CCP does not completely trust the other party, the actual pressure on the CCP has indeed been reduced significantly, and it has instead focused more on two things:

1. Fight against warlords, landlords, and the Kuomintang:

2. Strengthen one’s own “internal cultivation” and focus on internal affairs construction.

This is also the reason why Li Desheng, who brought tens of thousands of troops to Ulanqab this time, did not want to discuss military issues with Fujiwara Kanezane at all.

Talk, talk, talk shit.

It's just the same as last time in Ordos, just acting.

We also have to trouble Li Desheng to act as a "traitor" while deceiving his comrades who are not aware of the situation.

Men.

"I generally agree with your ideas, but some of your policies are indeed a bit too biased. I'm afraid they will cause some trouble when the countries merge in the future."

"Oh? What are you talking about?

"For example, there are regulations regarding the division of pre-marital property and marital property during divorce..."

Li Desheng flipped through the small notebook:

"And this, soldiers are forced to sign...a will after joining the army?

In Northeast China's new marriage law system, all the provisions regarding pre-marital property and post-marital joint property can be summed up in one sentence:

Before the marriage registration procedures are completed, pre-marital property is considered personal property. Even if the value of the property increases after marriage, it is owned by both spouses and will not be divided in the event of a divorce.

Only after the registration procedures are completed, the income and property acquired by the couple will be included in the category of "common property of the couple" and will be divided in the event of a future divorce;

Even so, when dividing property, if you can provide evidence that the other party transferred personal property during the marriage, the transferring party must compensate for the transferred property.

In order to implement these regulations, the government will require both spouses to register their personal property when registering their marriage. Only these registered properties will be protected by law in the future.

It seems fair and just, and treats everyone equally, but since it is actually men who currently have an absolute advantage in economic activities, this actually protects men.

If this doesn't explain anything, then the regulations regarding military personnel are completely exposed:

All soldiers of the "Five East Kingdom" are required to write a "will" after enlisting, stating how to distribute the various incomes earned during their service and the pensions in the event of their death in the future;

Income such as military pay is easy to deal with. You can either support your parents, support your family, spend it yourself, or save it. This is a free choice based on each person's actual situation.

Regarding pensions, most soldiers will choose the "official recommendation" - the first-line heirs are parents or guardians, who are allocated at least 50%, the second-line is children, and the third-line is wife or someone else.

The part for children will not be given to the wife all at once, even if the children are minors. Instead, it will be deposited in a specific account as an education fund. The army will be responsible for distributing it to the children's supporters every month, and the children will repay the principal and interest in one lump sum when they reach adulthood.

By the way, due to the existence of the "Military Marriage Protection Act", if a military spouse cheats or transfers property during the marriage, they will not only be sentenced, but will also be deprived of all property inheritance rights and even have to pay compensation.

There are almost no female soldiers in Northeast China, so it is obvious who they are guarding against.

To be honest, even Li Desheng, who was very supportive of Fujiwara no Kanezane, felt that these regulations were too harsh and too contemptuous of women, and he was unable to convince his comrades to use the same approach.

A simple question: the value of labor must be recognized, so does labor activities such as housework and child-rearing count as labor value?

Therefore, in the discussions some time ago, many female comrades of the Communist Party of China strongly criticized it, believing that it was an "evil law" that completely denied the value of women's labor within the family.

"harsh?"

Mark said faintly:

"Comrade Desheng, if I say that these seemingly harsh clauses I have formulated are intended to delay class stratification, to protect the vast majority of ordinary women, and to allow marriage to return to its emotional essence and move towards a new socialist marriage model, would you believe it?

"Hmm? Can you explain it?"

Li Desheng frowned.

What he said seemed to be completely opposite to what Mark did, but he still believed that the other party would never do anything rash.

"Let me ask a few questions first. First, although we want to build a classless society, we must admit that classes will exist within society, even if they are invisible and incomplete, at present and for a long time to come, right?

"This... um."

It is undeniable.

For example, Li Desheng certainly wouldn't think he was superior to others just because he was the Chairman, Secretary-General, or Chairman of the CPC. Comrade Mark certainly wouldn't think so either, but what about others?

Aren't the events in Ruijin and Nanchang enough to illustrate the problem?

This is true for all CCP members who have received communist education, not to mention other ordinary people.

The concept of "marrying someone of equal social status" is still deeply rooted in China. Even slightly wealthier families will find someone to investigate the other party's family before getting married. Some men and women even only circulate among themselves. What is reflected behind this is the "class concept."

"Secondly, bourgeois women are even more reactionary than bourgeois men. Throughout society, there are always women who try to live a parasitic life by taking money from men. This is common sense, right?"

"Ok.

This is also undeniable.

At this stage, men's labor participation rate, income and other economic issues absolutely crush women, so the phenomenon of women being dependents of men is still extremely common. Many women live a parasitic life and are rich wives at home.

Some of them have received an "open education" and rely on their husbands' income to become wealthy wives, while at the same time they still claim to be "independent women."

Even worse than those voluntary prostitutes in Northeast China.

"Third, for the vast majority of men and women, financial issues in marriage are the most core and realistic issues. If they suffer financial losses as a result of marriage, they are likely to reduce their desire to marry and have children, or to seek a spouse within their familiar circle, right?"

We don't seem to have encountered this problem before."

"I just asked you to make an assumption. Besides, there are actually many such things happening on the Kuomintang side. You just don't understand them.

On a related note, several famous women from the Republic of China period were "voluntarily" gifted a significant amount of wealth by their wealthy husbands after marriage and divorce, becoming wealthy women themselves! (laughs)

“Suppose… well, that’s pretty much it.

"Isn't that the end of the matter?"

Mark clapped his hands:

"Marriage law protects the property of both men and women as much as possible. One of its purposes is to minimize the element of union based on property. Even if you get married, you can't take away the other person's property, so you can only focus more on the person himself.

Li Desheng raised his eyebrows:

"But this can only be limited to combinations where the economic conditions of both parties are very different. For those with similar economic conditions, this impact is not significant.

"Yes, but isn't that part of the essence of intellectual liberation? If people didn't worry about their property being divided up due to marriage or divorce, would they still place so much importance on 'being well-matched'?"

“Uh…ah!”

yes!

There are many such examples in the CCP - rich girls falling in love with poor boys, and rich boys marrying rural girls.

Although it's not quite right to say so, and although the person involved doesn't think so, it does allow some people to "change their class" through marriage!

Li Desheng didn't know that he had always wanted to promote this "marriage model based purely on love and ideals" and had achieved certain results for a time, but it was still shattered later.

There are many reasons, but one of them is that there are too many gold diggers.

Under the influence of long-term education, Chinese men generally agree with the idea of ​​"starting from scratch and striving for self-improvement", but many women who have been spoiled by laws such as the "Women and Children Protection Law" do not think so.

When they find that getting married and then divorced can bring them greater benefits and achieve class transition without paying any costs, there is no need to think about what they will do. Later, it even developed into an industry that specializes in targeting rich young men.

Maintaining your face and pussy and learning the skills to pick up girls only cost a few hundred thousand dollars. As long as you succeed once, all the previous investment will be returned hundreds or thousands of times, which is much more profitable than selling drugs and arms.

When this phenomenon became widespread, wealthy families who had suffered heavy losses quickly reacted and picked up the "equal status" approach again, starting to restrict their children's marriage partners and engaging in "internal circulation";

what?

"Stealing household registration books to get married," "The law recognizes that even de facto marriages require property division," and later even "only needing an ID card to get married in a different place"?

Sorry, people have thought of all this a long time ago, so they have arranged things like "property attention", "trust funds" and "consumer corporatization" to prevent stupid sons or daughters from being cheated and bringing trouble to the entire family.

All I can say is that rich people may have no morals, and their children may be stupid, but it is quite rare to have a whole family without any brains.

In fact, not to mention China, the same is true in Europe and the United States. Even Bezos, a wealthy man who employs countless lawyers, lost tens of billions of dollars due to marriage and divorce.

Of course, they reacted faster and quickly adjusted their version of the model. In addition to the methods learned from the Chinese wealthy, their other methods were even more ruthless:

Aren't you taking my money?

Sure, but don't think I only have money.

The water in New York Bay is very cold.

In short, Li Desheng never expected that this method could be used to reverse the concept of "equal status" that the CCP has always wanted to change but has found difficult to achieve. He was immediately shocked and speechless.

But, theoretically speaking, it makes sense!

When property is fully protected, men or women who intend to gain property through marriage lose their motivation for profit. Even if they still want to get married to enjoy material life, they will probably be more willing to maintain the stability of the marriage.

Not to mention those wealthy families, the soldiers and ordinary men who serve as the backbone and base have gained more benefits, which has stabilized the society and indirectly benefited the country.

When property becomes a non-essential consideration in marriage, the union of men and women may indeed be more concerned with "love and ideals"!

Because of bankruptcy through the use of marriage to obtain property, the cost of trust between people will be greatly reduced, and men and women who do not value each other's assets will not be suspected or guarded against.

Since it is much more difficult to obtain property from the husband and become a wealthy wife, it will certainly force some women to find ways to be independent, to earn money, and to participate in social and economic activities, thereby improving their social status and achieving women's liberation.

There is also the issue of bride price and dowry, which is a huge headache for the CCP and cannot be stopped no matter what method it uses. From this perspective, it can be dealt with in a similar way.

Neither the CCP Marriage Law nor the Northeast Marriage Law recognizes betrothal gifts and dowries, but the methods of promoting "eliminating betrothal gifts/dowry" are completely different.

(In fact, in some times and places, there are more men than women. This kind of "demanding money and property in the name of marriage" may not necessarily be a betrothal gift requested by the woman, but may also be a dowry requested by the man. It can only be said that it is hateful to exploit both the woman and the man.)

The CCP banned betrothal gifts and advocated free love and marriage, with leaders and revolutionaries taking the lead. The Northeast was very straightforward:

Do you want to register or not?

Not registering?

If you don't register, you can argue among yourselves in the future. When you take the case to court, each of you can present evidence, and whoever presents the best evidence will win.

Register?

Is it registered in your own name or the other party's name?
