Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 37: Straight Male Cancer
Subtitle of this chapter: winter is coming...
The book "Socialism" is divided into five volumes, and Yuan Yanshu has only copied the first volume. It's not that he can't type fast enough, but the content is too reactionary. As a party activist who has received education in the art of slaying dragons in the Celestial Empire, he can't handle it, so he has to make some minor revisions.
For example, the first volume that He Lian and Xu Zhimo just finished reading compares the situation of socialist society with a society organized according to the principles of classical liberalism from a comparative perspective.
The contents in the first volume are not so bad, such as praising the superiority of the capitalist system and criticizing the limitations of the democratic system. This is the daily routine of liberals.
In fact, these contents were reactionary enough for Yuan Yanran, who had "one heart and two preparations", but he really couldn't hold on to the content about "Family Political Economy" at the end of the first volume.
How exactly is Professor Mises reactionary? The following is an excerpt from his original text:
"The state of sexual excitement is the most important state in a woman's entire life. She is always to a considerable extent subordinate to her sexual desire. She is completely absorbed in her sexuality, in the whole range of sexual intercourse and procreation. That is, in her relationship with her husband and children. Her life revolves around these things, while men, on the contrary, are not only concerned with sex..."
"Thus, sex|love fills the whole life of women, while men are interested in other things. Such as fighting and playing, socializing and banqueting, debate and science, business and politics, religion and art..."
"Women's lives are sex and nothing else. Men's lives are sex and everything else."
"Even if a woman of extraordinary talent becomes a mother, she may still achieve some success. But because women are faced with the primary requirements of gender functions, genius and great achievements are out of their reach."
In the era of Yuan Hongjian, where "political correctness is paramount, women are rising up and overwhelming men", if any Western scholar dared to say that, feminists would come to his house and smash his head to pieces, and step on him ten thousand times to make him unable to rise up forever. But if his facial hair is thicker...
"Pika Pika."
"Ahem."
In short, there is no cure for the male chauvinism of this old man, Mises, which has become ingrained in his mind and waiting to be removed. After he fled to the United States during World War II, he could not get into the American academic circle even though he was a first-class Jew. This was not only because Keynesianism was the only dominant school, but also because the thriving civil rights movement had no room for such an old-fashioned, stubborn, and reactionary person.
Yuan Yan suddenly knew that it was okay to say this in the United States in 1920, but she thought that she would definitely return to China. What if this spread to China and those feminists knew about it...
Wait, are the feminists in China in the 1920s, a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, more powerful than those in the United States, the white left’s stronghold in later generations?
Unfortunately, it is still true. Because at this moment, China is in a big era of transition from the old to the new, with a mix of good and bad people, and if you don't make a revolution, you will die, while the United States is still enjoying the small era of the prosperity brought by the First World War. In other words, the radicals in China are more radical than the radicals in the United States, and the conservatives in China are definitely more conservative than the conservatives in the United States... This is not necessarily true. Don't forget that there is a group of Professor Chandler's fellow countrymen in the south of the "Keystone State", the Amish. They are so conservative that they didn't use electrical appliances in the 21st century, so they became a tourist attraction.
These messed-up statements about "the vagina is the shortest path to a woman's heart" were definitely not applicable, so Yuan Yanshu had to modify them himself with the consent of the Master Ball system. In desperation, he took another reactionary path... The degree of reaction of this path might be even higher than that of Mises.
All leftist doctrines and leftist ideas, whether scientific socialism, anarchism to the left, or Fabianism (gradual socialism) to the right, are all built on the basis of fairness. That is, there is only a difference in the division of labor, not in the noble and the humble. In fact, the pluralism of the white left also emphasizes fairness, but they abandon class theory and embrace values, so there are only differences in race, religion, gender and sexual orientation, not in the level of civilization.
Since everyone is declared equal, the status of men and women is naturally equal, and their rights and obligations are of course equal.
The problem is that, from a materialistic point of view, no matter how wonderful the theory is, it cannot overcome the cruel reality. The differences in the physiological structure and functions of men and women will inevitably lead to inequality. Especially for the matter of giving birth, men only need a shiver... Well, even if it is better than the average time of one hour claimed by male netizens, women need a relatively long and extremely painful pregnancy and breastfeeding period, not to mention the natural childbirth with the highest pain level index comparable to half a foot in the gate of hell.
At the same time, socialism believes that marriage is a backward system under private ownership, and it is best not to get married at all. Men and women (well, it would be more precise to use human beings) should live together out of love and only out of consideration, because this is moral!
In fact, the above content is the viewpoint in Uncle En's famous article "The Origin of Family, Private Property and the State". Uncle En himself never married, but he lived with a pair of Irish sisters "one after another". However, due to "historical limitations", he expressed strong anti-homosexuality in his letter to Uncle Ma, believing that this was an "unnatural" thing.
Moreover, the left has been developing in this way, becoming more and more radical on the issues of women and sexual minorities. So there is a very strange thing in history that subverts the three views of ordinary people. The Soviet Union is a country in Western civilization, or more precisely, a country with a Christian background. It is the first regime in modern times to decriminalize homosexual behavior!
It has to be said that the red left is really the ancestor of the white left, but the white left petty bourgeoisie’s little hearts cannot accept the theory of class struggle.
In this case, socialism has only one option left, which is to return the right to reproduce to women. The logic is simple: since it is so unfair to women, let them make their own choice. This is called admitting defeat.
Of course, Yuan Yanshu was talking about socialism in the 1920s. He would not and dared not describe the history that followed. In fact, there was an even more extreme approach later, which was the government controlling fertility rights...
Moreover, according to Master Yuan's "inference", even in a capitalist society, as industrialization deepens, women will gain more and more economic freedom, which is equivalent to gaining most of their reproductive rights in disguise.
Whether it is capitalism or socialism, the fertility rate in industrialized countries is declining rapidly and irreversibly. This is the basis for his criticism of "The Political Economy of the Socialist Family".
Dr. Yuan has revealed his profound understanding of human economic activities and keen intuition about the laws of economic operation in his first economic book, Socialism. At that time, he was only 26 years old and a student at New York University. Before writing this great book, he had never participated in actual economic work. When the long night of Keynesianism and authoritarianism fell, he was like the last street lamp before the cliff, faithfully trying to show his contemporaries the danger, just as he said in the book : winter is coming...
