Turning in the Time Language
There are recent debate in the first thirty and after 30 years since the establishment of the Communist Party of China in mainland China.The fact that in the next thirty years, the Chinese economy and the living standards of the people have achieved a high -speed growth that cannot be compared in the first 30 years, but the state stability is far from before, resulting in Beijing's stable budget exceeding the national defense budgetEssenceHow to explain this obvious contradiction?In my opinion, an important reason is that the political magic weapon of Mao Zedong, the Chinese leader of the previous thirty years: class struggle, and spirit.
Under this political magic weapon, the masses were united on the common route of cracking down on class enemies.And as Hu Yaobang later concluded, everyone was worried that one day they would become class enemies, and they could only follow the great leaders, and formed a society that had a long -term stable but stable long -term stable.
Although this is the product of the authoritative political system, it is unique. Now in the rising populist movement in European and American society, a very similar political means MDASH; MDASH; ethnic struggle, the spirit of the spirit of the western democratic system, becomes the Western democratic system.Important magic weapons to obtain votes and grassroots support.
US President Trump is a typical example.From campaign to the stage for more than two years, the ethnic struggle, the spirit of the spirit can be said to be the key to Trump's success.During the campaign, he vigorously advocated the construction of the border wall and blocked the non -Ratin -American immigrants from my ethnic group.He even publicly said that the American Latin -American judge was a Mexican.Shortly after the stage, the demonstration of white people such as neo -Nazi and the Three -K Party in Charletsville, Virginia, and the Dharma of the Three -K Party, which caused violence.
Trump insisted that many of the right -wing are good people.He described the immigrants from the Third World as a country from the pit, and lamented why white European immigrated to the United States was getting less and less.Even the Economist Weekly summarized Trump's governance characteristics to use the dog whistle that uses the contradictory of racial races.
Since Trump took office, American racial relations have retreated significantly, and various malignant incidents have emerged endlessly.Some people tracked the old accounts of Dad Trump's discrimination against minority race and accused Trump of being a racist.According to my opinion, Trump, who grew up in the ethnic hodgepodge in New York, does not have a deep -rooted racist prejudice like a large number of white people southern and central United States.However, he sensitively saw that in contemporary American society, low -education white people faced the threat of social status under the trend of globalization and the trend of scientific and technological revolution, but refused to blame themselves.Political magic weapon.
Trump's racial dog whistle has crimes a large number of ethnic minority voters, and the support rate in polls has always been less than 50%.However, because of the existing population composition in the United States and the solidification of the two parties politics, Trump actually held the Republican machine, which made him re -election next year.In the food marrow, Trump will continue the ethnic struggle.
The populism on the opposite side of the Atlantic has a very similar root. Therefore, the ethnic struggle, the spirit of the spirit has become a political magic weapon for populist leaders to fight for votes.Brexit is a good example. Restricting foreign immigrants has become the biggest political call for Brexit.Interestingly, there are more than half of the Brexit public opinion. The main fear is not to be threatened by Muslims that are greatly rendered by the far right.
Look at the French National Front (recently renamed the national unity political party), the German alternative party (AFD), and the similar populist parties in other European countries. You can see the ethnic struggle.Common call for votes.Under this magic weapon, European populism and extremely right -wing forces have continued to rise and even entered the mainstream of politics.
The ethnic struggle, the spirit of the spirit obviously violated the universal value believed by the mainstream politics in Europe and the United States, but obtained an increasingly larger political market. Even when Hillary accepted an interview with the British Guardian last year, it proposed that Europe must take measures to control foreign countries.Immigration issues have aroused the uproar in Europe and the United States.This trend of public opinion makes people suspect the sustainability of the current democratic system in Europe and the United States.Just as class struggles, the political principles behind the spirit of spirit are the support of the enemy, we must oppose, the ethnic struggle, and the spirit of the human society will also be regarded as a zero -sum game between the groups.The income must be lost because of her own.
In the generalization of globalization, such zero -sum games have great appeal to low -education groups.Therefore, as soon as Trump came to power, he played a trade war in many ways.In addition, the high -tech revolution is causing class struggle between European and American low -skilled groups and elite classes.Before Western society found the answers to solve these two modern trend challenges, the ethnic struggle, the spiritual will continue to become an important force for corrosion of universal values and Western free democratic systems.
