The Sources of These Self-organized CCP Lovers and Mao Leftists

-- Wei Jingsheng

It is a rare phenomenon that there is a lot of news after the New Year. The turmoil in Kazakhstan was a major event that Chinese netizens were concerned about. Among the most stubborn dictatorships of the former USSR republics left after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan is the most dictatorial one. Years of anger against authoritarian regimes, fueled by rising oil prices, exploded like China in 1989.

Another piece of news that didn't attract everyone's attention was Francis Fukuyama, who wrote a book titled "The End of History and the Last Man" after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s during an atmosphere when the West was inflated with self-confidence. He used to be the most popular and was the favorite scholar of Wang Qishan and Xi Jinping. Recently, he wrote an article admitting that he had made a mistake in his estimation back then, that he did not pay attention to the possibility of the decline of democracy and the new democracies going backwards. Even the President of the United States admitted that global democracy is in decline.

Like many American scholars lacking common sense, can history end? Did he pass his philosophy class in school? His attitude could compete with many scholars who do not even know the history of their own country, but shout loudly of “peace, rationality, and non-violence”. But Mr. Fukuyama has an excellent quality of Americans, which is the courage to admit and correct his own mistakes without any shame. This is worth learning by most Chinese people.

Professor Fukuyama is right to point to several important reasons for the decline of democracy, including the growing influence and control of money over politics. But he may not have noticed another important reason. Compared with the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is better at fooling people and getting them to attack their opponents, including infiltration of scholars and scientists to fool the common people and politicians. The frenzied growth of self-organized CCP lovers in recent years is the result of the great development of this policy. It even combined with Internet companies and hackers to cause chaos in the human minds, which in turn led to the ebb of democracy.

Due to information blocking and speech repression in China, the proportion of ignorant people is already very large. Coupled with the great assistance of American capitalists, economic growth has brought an increase in the number of the wealthy class in China, along with the number of ignorant people. This less than 5% of the so-called middle class in China has become the main source of the self-organized CCP lovers. Unlike the Internet agents who are paid by the CCP, these self-organized CCP lovers are willing to speak out against their consciences without a payoff. Since being an official in thousands of miles away place is only for money, they felt it is ok for them speak without conscience even without pay from the CCP.

When someone speaks against conscience for the sake of money, there are still reasons, which can be classified as "what exists is reasonable," according to the Communist-style interpretation. So who are these self-organized CCP lovers, especially the lower class ones that are called the Little Pink? Are these people sick, as they live in misery yet help the CCP to fool the others? All human societies have superior wisdom and inferior ignorance. Some people who barely left misery and got enough to eat, were so proud to kiss the stinky feet of the CCP officials. Such kind of ignorant cunning is also the way of life for some, which is both pitiful and hateful.

There are some people who are different from the Little Pink but somewhat overlapping, commonly known as Mao Leftists. Mao Leftists are a group of people who are not stupid and know who is oppressing and exploiting them. The daring few become human rights and democracy activists, that is not far from going to jail. Most people want to resist but are afraid of going to prison, so they learned a trick from Chairman Mao Zedong called “fighting against the red flag while holding the red flag.” Like all fundamentalists in the world, they hold the banner of Mao Zedong and used his words they choose but explain them differently. If the CCP has to hold Mao as its ancestor, then it can't do anything about us.

For every successful rebellion in history, the leader has been the indispensable key. Even great poets know how to "shoot a horse before shooting the man". But without an echo from the broad masses, a large number of Mao Leftists who are both smart and timid can only stay at the level of the grassroots heroes of Liangshan. Therefore, apart from the pro-democracy activists, Mao Leftists are the group of people who give Secretary Xi Jinping the most headaches. We never regard them as the same as the self-organized CCP lovers.

We are not without enemies. The distinction between enemies and friends, including potential friends, is a concrete manifestation of political wisdom. The important job of the CCP’s Internet Police and the CCP spy agents of higher rank is to confuse the enemy and our friends, and to provoke the masses to fight against other masses. From ancient times to the Cultural Revolution, now and in the future, this is a rule, and it is also a compulsory course for people engaging in political struggles and revolutions. As we can't expect groups of low-intelligence to understand this, thus the leader group will be the key to the success of the revolution.

自干五、小粉红和毛左的来源

-- 魏京生

新年之后的新闻多，是很少见的现象。哈萨克斯坦大动乱，是现在中国网民关心的大事件。苏联解体以后最顽固的前加盟共和国，哈萨克斯坦第二，就没有第一了。积蓄多年对专制政体的愤怒，借着石油涨价爆发了，形势就像一九八九年的中国。

还有一个没引起大家关注的新闻，就是在九十年代初苏联解体后，在西方的自信膨胀气氛中写了一本书的弗朗西斯•福山，书名叫做《历史的终结》。他曾经热度最高，是王岐山、习近平最喜欢的学者。最近他写文章承认他当年估计错误，没注意民主可能衰退，新生民主可能倒退，连美国总统都承认全球民主在衰退。

和许多美国学者缺乏常识一样，历史居然能够终结？他上学时哲学课及格吗？这和许多学者不知自己国家的历史，声嘶力竭高喊和平、理性、非暴力，有得一拼。但福山先生拥有美国人的一项优秀品质，就是勇于承认和纠正自己的错误，一点儿也不害臊。这个值得大部分中国人学习。

福山教授正确地指出了民主衰退的几个重要原因，包括金钱对政治的影响和掌控越来越强。但他可能没注意到另一个重要的原因，就是和苏联相比，中国共产党更懂得忽悠人，让那些人群起而攻击共产党的对手，包括渗透学者、科学家来忽悠老百姓和政客们。近年来疯长的自干五和小粉红，就是这一政策大发展的结果。甚至结合网络公司和黑客，给人类思想造成大混乱，进而导致民主退潮。

中国由于信息封锁和言论镇压，愚民的比重本来就很大。加上美国资本家大力协助下，经济增长带来富裕阶级人数的增加，愚昧人群的数量也大幅度增长。这不到百分之五的所谓在中国的中产，就成为自干五的主要来源。不像五毛是骗政府钱的小鸡贼，自干五是不用给钱就自己甘愿昧良心说话的人。既然千里做官只为钱，我们不要钱就昧良心，应该没毛病吧。

为了钱昧着良心说话，还算是有理由，可归入“存在的就是合理的”共产党式的翻译。那么小粉红都是什么人呢？一肚子白菜帮子还帮人家忽悠，有病吧？所有的人类社会都有上智下愚，愚公移山那个愚。刚吃饱肚子就洋洋得意，还不缺乏捧官方臭脚的小鸡贼。这样的愚民式的狡猾，也是一部分小民的生存之道，既可怜又可恨。

和他们不同却有些重叠的，就是俗称的毛左了。毛左是这样的一群人，他们不傻，知道是谁在欺压和剥削他们。胆大的少数人成了维权人士和民运分子，那离进监狱也就不远了。大多数人既想反抗又怕进监狱，就和毛主席他老人家学了一招，叫做打着红旗反红旗。和世界上所有原教旨主义者一样，打着老毛的旗号，利用他老人家的只言片语另作解释。你共产党不能不要老祖宗，那你就拿我们没辙。

历史上每次成功的反抗，领袖都是不可或缺的关键。就连大诗人都懂得“射人先射马”。但是没有那即聪明又胆小的大量毛左，没有所谓广大人民群众的呼应，也就只能停留在水泊梁山的档次了。所以除了民运人士，毛左是最让小习书记头疼的一群人了。我们从来不把他们和自干五、小粉红看作一样的人。

我们不是没有敌人。区分敌我和朋友，包括潜在的朋友，是政治智慧的具体表现。五毛和高一个档次的特务们的重要工作，就是混淆敌我和朋友，挑动群众斗群众。从古代到文革，到现在和将来，这是个规律，也是从事政治斗争和革命的必修课。不要指望低智慧的群体懂这些，所以领袖群体是革命成功的关键。
