Great time travel

Chapter 1, Political Commissar Guo's Iron Ambition (Supplementary)
"...From my personal point of view, although I don't think I'm a racist or a religious fanatic, but I'm not a savior with boundless love. The so-called great unity of the working people of the world, the so-called proletariat ****, Not everyone is qualified to call themselves a working people, a self-proclaimed proletariat. Only those who are willing to actively accept scientific ideas and become a part of the industrialized state machine are qualified to be regarded as working people: not necessarily You go to be a worker, a farmer or an engineer, but you must at least identify with this modern society and support yourself with your hands in this social system. Those who cannot adapt to and accept the modern industrial society rely on relief and welfare to make ends meet Guys can only be said to be useless people who are useless to modern society. They are no different from those hooligan proletarians who are idle and lazy. They must go through strict compulsory education and labor reform before they are eligible to become part of the working people—non-working people No food, the poor are not equal to the working people, no matter how poor and desolate beggars and thieves, they are also the targets of the socialist revolution! As for those who rely on violent crimes and inciting anti-scientific superstitions to make a living, they even dig the modern industrialized countries Root pests, what qualifications do they have to live and waste the earth's resources?
This standard applies not only to foreigners, but also to Chinese people.If the Chinese people in those days had been fighting among warlords and their politics were dark, if they had been clinging to the old ways, insisting on superstitious thinking, and refusing to accept modern industry, if they had always regarded science and technology as miraculous skills and were unwilling to learn from the West and reform themselves, then they would have lived. Under the attack of the Malthusian population trap and the invasion of foreign enemies, the country should be destroyed!
Although it does not conform to the moral logic of political correctness, the iron-like cruel reality can never be negated by Xiao Qingxin and the false Virgin Mary's words about the tranquility of the years and the dignity of the common people.You can still live if the sky does evil, but you can't live if you do evil yourself.The torrent of the times will never show mercy to any laggards.Just like in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, no matter how much they begged, pleaded, negotiated, and redressed their grievances, those imperialist powers under the guise of morality, civilization, equality, and human rights would not be inspired to let go of their butcher knives. The third world countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia who are struggling must also find ways to save themselves, instead of sitting and crying about the injustice of heaven, and then pushing the responsibility on others. For such rogues, I can only Said, you are neither willing to save yourself, nor willing to die, it is really embarrassing! "

Speaking of this, Commissar Guo couldn't help sighing, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again, "...After World War II, the production and concentration of material wealth in industrial society reached such a level that it made certain types of people He has created an illusion that it is normal and natural for people to live, and that people should be happy when they live, and they will not die prematurely due to resource shortages, ignorance, gender, hunger, and disease.

Especially in the years after the Cold War, some intellectuals have gone further with their illusions, thinking that the so-called food and clothing, security, wealth, vacations, and the environment are all innate, and if they are not enjoyed, it must be the fault of the government. If you make a fuss in the street, you will have everything.

Moreover, they obviously did not create much wealth, but relying on their moral right to speak, they used all kinds of bright banners that seemed to be full of truth, goodness and beauty to force others to donate various things, regardless of whether the other party's family could afford it or not.To be honest, it is not much different from cults making money.

However, in fact, these so-called benevolence and kindness are often the culprits of various disasters.For example, before entering the [-]th century, the population of Africa and the Middle East did not explode. It was not because blacks and Arabs were unable to give birth at that time, but because of the prevalence of epidemics and the high infant mortality rate, which could even reach [-]% to [-]%. So the high birth rate was pulled back.However, after World War II, with the improvement of medical conditions and the charity medical assistance of various international organizations, the infant mortality rate in these places dropped to a few per thousand at once, but the birth rate did not decrease accordingly, so the population began to seem to sit still. It skyrocketed like a rocket.China in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China also experienced this process.

However, later we used many painful methods such as family planning to suppress China's birth rate.Africans, Arabs, and Indians didn't do this, and the result was that their populations continued to skyrocket to a point where even war and AIDS couldn't keep them down.For example, the prevalence of AIDS in Botswana is as high as 40.00%, and the death rate can be called crazy, but this does not prevent its population from doubling every ten years.Countries in the Middle East are clearly fighting fierce wars, but the population continues to grow tenaciously at a high speed, which is even more shocking.

But the problem is that the level of medical care, education, and industry must be coordinated and improved so that there will be no troubles.Only improving the level of medical care will produce a large number of low-quality and useless people who cannot generate dividends.Improving the level of medical care and education, but lagging behind in industry, neither can use modern agriculture to feed the expanding population, nor can it create so many jobs to absorb educated people, and finally lead to street unrest.

At present, in the vast majority of third world countries on the planet, both of these situations exist, and the former is more widespread and more numerous.

To be honest, nature selects the fittest for survival. Originally, in backward agricultural society and primitive society, high death rate and high birth rate offset each other, but food and medical assistance from international forces broke the balance of population growth. Instead, it violates the laws of nature.If they were to stay completely in the pre-industrial era, it would be impossible for so many people to survive on these barren or wild lands, and further multiply the exponentially growing population.If the logic of industrialization is fully implemented, the surviving population is an effective labor force, and can complete the material production with the efficiency of industrialization far exceeding its own consumption. However, the actual situation is neither of the two, and the rapidly expanding low-quality The population cannot find its place in the industrialized society at all. Such a large-scale population disaster is caused by irresponsible "humanitarian aid".

The scene that will appear next is actually almost doomed.Thousands of years of Chinese history have proved that when the limited land cannot support so many people under certain technical conditions, and foreign aid is cut off for some reason, the cruel fate will use any method to eliminate the surplus. Whether it is a famine or a war, it is necessary to restore the population to a balanced and normal state. "

"...And this means sending billions to billions of people to see God!" Li Wei curled his lips, "...Is there really no hope?"

"...the hope of the third world countries to overcome the population crisis... well, it cannot be said that there is no hope at all, but it is definitely very slim. According to our known experience, only simple and crude family planning, or large-scale industrialization, can improve the Productivity, while allowing them to return to a reasonable population curve, such as Iran and Turkey, after industrialization, through universal education, promoting urbanization, absorbing rural population into cities, improving their living standards, and reducing people's willingness to have children, Successfully resolved the population explosion problem in the country.

However, both Iran and Turkey actually have a very deep imperial background and civilization foundation (the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, plus the aftertaste of the Eastern Roman Empire). In terms of cohesion and execution, they are not the Middle East and North Africa' pretending to be countries. The tribes' can be compared, so that they can persist on the road of industrialization.However, countries in Africa and the Middle East, no matter what kind of political system they adopt on the surface, are actually feudal or even tribal societies in their hearts, but they rely on selling resources to support many people by chance.Their population is not a modern population, unable to find their own place in the industrial society, what they are actually facing is the same as China's late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, where the whole society is on the verge of collapse and has nowhere to go.In fact, they are the same as the people of the Qing Dynasty who were forced to face "great changes unseen in 3000 years" when they were broken by the strong ships and guns of the West. Their social evolution process was broken by the colonial era, resulting in them still in the primitive Since then, the ethnic groups in the tribal society and the slave society have been coerced into this ever-accelerating world, and have become at a loss.Whether it is colonial aggression, humanitarian aid, or political interference, they are actually interrupting the self-evolution of these backward societies and making their future more uncertain.

Taking China as an example, the Chinese people's road to industrialization has gone through bumps and bumps for more than a century, and the experience during this period can be called a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, which is utterly tragic.Just to make the Chinese realize the importance of industrialization and take the initiative to embark on the road of industrialization, China had to fight two Opium Wars plus a Taiping Peasant War, which killed more than 1 million people before letting those heads The rusty feudal scholar-bureaucrats had the consciousness to engage in the "Westernization Movement".And this is just a starting point. China's industrialization process will continue from one failure to the next, from a great shame to a deeper shame. In the end, we are able to break out of the quagmire and go to success. Even we Chinese feel lucky.

But our China is actually quite rich in capital, with the largest single nation in the world, thousands of years of imperial system and unified language, cultural foundation and national self-esteem that disdain the East, and a vast land, the total amount is not small resources, and a long coastline.Even so, we still shed blood and tears on this road to industrialization, and we overturned several times before and after, and we were really only half a step away from being completely devastated.

But what about those third world countries that are facing a demographic crisis today?India's industrialization has been considered relatively successful, but in the eyes of China, the United States and Europe, it is still almost a joke.The Arabs are divided into a bunch of small and medium-sized countries, and even the most superficial political unity like India cannot be achieved, but at least there are advantages of language and ethnic unity.As for the Africans... well, nothing but despair!

If we say that the Arabs are at least civilized people, they have a superficial understanding of the country, business, and hierarchical society. Apart from being a little fanatical about religion, they can basically communicate with us.Then most African blacks were still in a tribal state a few generations ago, and have fallen behind the mainstream human society for 3000 to [-] years.Its basic behavior pattern is still "tribal people" rather than modern people, so there will be styles that are quite weird to modern people, such as extreme laziness, as long as the stomach is full; such as not obeying modern laws and rules, muddling along Poor and happy; not many plans for the future, extremely free and undisciplined, etc.Because among primitive tribes, tribe members have such an attitude towards life.

In our eyes, the feudal agricultural society lifestyle, which has been slow and procrastinated, is already fast-paced for many black Africans.In their eyes, the rhythm of life in an industrial society is completely incomprehensible.

Of course, with the deepening of globalization, African blacks will either actively or passively catch up with the mainstream ideology of human civilized society.Due to the advantage of being a latecomer, the progress of the social system of black Africans will be much faster than the autonomous evolution of Western countries, but even if it is ten times faster, it will take at least two to three hundred years to truly integrate with mainstream society.Among them, the learning of science and technology is actually relatively easy, but the learning of systems is very difficult.During the Westernization Movement, when China learned from Western technology, it was basically a peaceful transition.But the problem is that it is useless to just learn technology, and the entire social concept and political system must be reformed accordingly. It is extremely thrilling, and the consequences of every fork in the road are often unimaginably tragic. It is hard to imagine that Africans will be more fortunate than us-we are going to upgrade from a feudal agricultural society to a modern industrial society, taking the hundreds of years of Western history It is already so difficult and painful to complete the evolution in a few decades.African blacks want to upgrade from a primitive tribal society to a modern industrial society, and complete the historical evolution of Westerners for thousands of years in a few decades. How many vultures will be around, how many bones will be paved, how long will it take to get out, or not get out at all, just overturned and fell into hell
Therefore, in my opinion, one or two hundred years is the most optimistic estimate for Africans whose ideas and concepts are still in the tribal mode to truly adapt and integrate into modern society-the system is by no means complete For example, the Republic of Haiti in the Caribbean, even after copying the US Constitution and playing the democratic game for so many years, aren’t the blacks on the island still impoverished?
But the question is, will the rapidly expanding population bomb give them a 200-year buffer and transformation time?What's more, even if modern ideas are established, so what?Black Africans are neither Chinese nor Arabs. They do not have their own unified language, culture, market, and political power. They have no way to deal with the crisis as a whole.Of course, some of the more competitive African countries may be able to successfully overcome the catastrophe through hard work, and even win benefits from their unlucky neighbors after the catastrophe.Just like among the Asian countries that were colonized by great powers in modern times, there was also such an anomaly as the Japanese Empire that rose against the trend.But on the whole, the future fate of the 20 billion black African people may only be compared with that of the Mayans during the collapse of civilization..."

PS: The editor has a notice, and I hope that I will try my best to write for another week or so, so Pharaoh Wang will reveal more of what he wants to say in the last few chapters of this novel.Because the subject matter of the next book will probably not involve these profound problems of real society.
