Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 226

Chapter 80. red populism

Hearing Hu Jintao’s serious tone of voice, Junghwan opened his mouth halfway, but then closed his mouth without saying anything.

I don’t know if it’s Hu Jintao right now, but Junghwan already knows the deeds and thoughts of the characters Bo Bo Lai and Xi Jinping, as well as their actions after that.

Therefore, it was not that the underlying psychology and background of the two tigers, who were in a fierce confrontation over the presidency of the Communist Party and the whole of China, made such a judgment, but it was still astonishing.

And Hu Jintao also seemed to agree with Junghwan, even though he didn’t say anything out of his mouth.

Watching Hu Jintao like that, Junghwan, who was carefully deciding whether to say this or not, finally opened his mouth.

“I am sorry, but I cannot agree with the CCP’s policy. Execution is what makes bin Laden a de facto martyr.”

Everyone is beautified when they die.

Moreover, in religion, especially in the doctrine of modern Islamic fundamentalism, martyrdom is the highest sacrifice that can be made to Allah, and is an example and ideal for all Muslims to follow.

Even without going to religion, every act of death for martyrdom, political ideology, ideology, and cause has the terrible power of sanctifying all the mistakes, errors, and even evil deeds that a person has made during his lifetime.

Even if that person killed hundreds of innocent people through plane terrorism during his lifetime, it would become a ‘crusade against infidels’, and even if he was a vicious dictator, ‘a person who took the necessary evil to bring the country out of extreme poverty’ This is what martyrdom is.

Moreover, given the de facto devastating operation that China is now carrying out in Afghanistan, which has fueled the quiet wrath of Islamic countries in the Middle East, even a public death sentence is an act of setting fire to a field of oil, even using it as propaganda. do you mean to eat?

In response to Jeonghwan’s concerns, Hu Jintao added a few words as an excuse, as if they had never thought of it that way.

“Not all Muslims support Osama bin Laden. Although it is unfamiliar to us Chinese, there are secularized Islamic countries like Turkey in the Middle East, and within Islam, Shia, Sunni, etc. are divided into sects, languages, ethnicities, and countries. Of course, there are many secret supporters and followers of bin Laden among them, so there will be a backlash… … .”

“Many of those bin Laden followers are wealthy royalty in Saudi Arabia and terrorists in Chechnya and Dagestan! Not to mention the tens of millions of secular Muslims in the gray area who will turn into zealots drowning in Islamic fundamentalism with one more step. Still, there are many rumors that China is planning to colonize the Arab world, starting with Afghanistan, but they say that it will create an opportunity for them all to unite… … .”

“… … Although there will be a backlash, it is the unofficial position within our Party that it is well worth taking in order to bring down the culprit of the Shanghai terrorism, to allay people’s unrest and to restore the party’s trust. Immediately after the two conferences were over and the new leadership took office, the arrest of bin Laden was widely publicized, and now, among the people, public opinion is rising day by day that bin Laden should not be sentenced to death as soon as possible. Only three years left!”

“… … how… … .”

Jeonghwan, who does not raise his voice at all, tried to stop him as if he had a clear picture of what was going to happen, but Hu Jintao raised his voice slightly and finished his speech.

But soon after seeing Junghwan’s expression, ‘Since when have you been so concerned about the people’s eyes?’, Hu Jintao smiled bitterly as if he could fully guess what he was thinking.

Seeing that smile, some outlines of the whole picture that had not been seen in Jeonghwan’s mind were redrawn.

‘Bo Shirai – Osama bin Laden, who has not been seen since Xi Jinping took office, cannot have suddenly fallen from the sky, and it should be said that he disclosed the fact of bin Laden’s arrest, which he had already captured, to the people in order to strengthen the position of the new leadership. The problem is that this is very different from the CCP style so far… … The fact that the CCP, which has always dealt with this sort of thing in secret, suddenly came out like this… … .’

“Sir, this new… … Does the policy have anything to do with the inauguration of Chairman Bo Bo Lai and Comrade Xi Jinping?”

“… … I heard that General Secretary Kim had a quick head turn, but it seems to be true. If I had known this far anyway, it would be too late to hide it… … .”

“… … ?”

“… … It is humiliating and shameful to reveal to the leaders of allied countries the wealth and physiology that should be hidden only within the party, but I just want General Secretary Kim to know that not all party members are in favor of this trend, and that I am one of those people.”

“I will listen.”

Hu Jintao shook his head as if he had decided that it was wrong to hide more, and soon began to explain the secret but sure change that is taking place inside the CCP, as well as the dark struggle hidden behind the CCP.

After Jiang Zemin’s overthrow, anyone with a bit of insight can know that the current system shared by Bo Si Lai, Xi Jinping, and Hu Jintao, who are the central military chief, general secretary of the Communist Party, and state president, which can be said to be the center of power, will not last long. It was clear enough to be

In particular, the most obvious was the battle between the two tigers of the Prince’s Party, Xi Jinping and Bo Shi Lai, and the internal struggle between the two was foreseen in that the posts of the Central Military Commission president and the Party’s general secretary were rarely separated in the first place.

Since he received the post of president in the sense of being considerate of Hu Jintaoya’s public office, it was not discussed in the first place in the power struggle, and most party officials predicted that Bo Bo would soon overthrow Xi Jinping and also serve as the party’s general secretary, becoming China’s supreme power.

– First of all, Secretary Xi Jinping had a very low rank in the Crown Prince’s Party from the beginning… … His personality is also quiet and he doesn’t like to be on the front lines, so there’s no chance of winning since former President Jiang Zemin appointed him as his successor.

-President Bo Shilai is the son of Comrade Boibo, the 8th elder, and he is from the bones of the bones, and he is from Hongerdai. Do you have military power? Xi Jinping’s chances of winning are zero.

For this reason, most people saw that the quiet, colorless (at least known as so far) Xi Jinping secretary would soon resign or at least submit to Bo Si Lai to the point of dying and filling the position until the end of his term.

But soon it turned out that their prediction was wrong.

-China is developing and getting richer than ever before, but at the same time, the party’s control is weakening. When Shanghai Bang and other businessmen are installed in the economic field, they think they are above the head of the party, and this must be corrected.

Soon, Xi Jinping revealed a fierce will to power that no one expected (but he knew already), and began to arrest and purify Jiang Zemin’s Shanghai gang, businessmen and economic officials on charges of corruption.

It was difficult to tackle openly as it was a common precedent for all the factions of the Crown Prince Party, regardless of Xi Jinping, the weakest member of the Shanghai room, which is a static group.

Even though he is the chairman of the military committee, who holds the military power, Xi Jinping is not the formal supreme official of the Chinese Communist Party, the general secretary of the party.

Looking back on the history of modern China, first the Communist Party was founded, then the People’s Liberation Army, and finally the People’s Republic of China was founded.

Therefore, no matter how powerful power is, the tacit and traditional organizational hierarchy in modern China is ‘Communist Party ＞ People’s Liberation Army ＞＞＞ People’s Republic of China Cabinet’, and since the official head of the communist party is Xi Jinping, even Bo Bo Shi could havetily defeated Xi Jinping. there was no

Besides, Bo Bo Rai himself is technically the chairman of the Military Committee. According to the traditional practice, the internal government in charge of the Party and the cabinet is far from the domain of the head of the Military Commission.

Xi Jinping is also well aware of this, so he may have begun to secretly but boldly begin to expand his influence within the party.

Driven by this situation, Bo Bo Lai came up with an idea after much deliberation.

Rather than within the Chinese Communist Party, where decisions are made by party cadres, they have shifted their target to outside the party, precisely the Chinese people.

-Think of it, this China was originally built on the foundation of President Mao Zedong’s Maoism, Chinese-style socialism ideology. The socialist revolution is a revolution centered on the people centered on rural peasants, not the bourgeoisie and entrepreneurs. Does China fit that spirit today?

-Shanghai Bang committed the revisionist error of colluding with corrupt entrepreneurs and capitalists in the name of economic development. Now, our party must lead the revival of the Communist Party culture, which has collapsed along with reform and opening up, the spirit of the early days of the revolution.

-Let’s go back to the basics by reading the communist sutras regardless of party members and people, then how should the revival of the revolution in the early days of the communist party be accomplished in detail? It means that everything is decided according to the will of the popular masses. This means that the distribution of China’s wealth should be done in the same way!

Surprisingly, what Boshi Lai, who came up with such a slogan, took as a motif was the Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong and Mao, who had already died long ago (no, of course, given his origins of the Crown Prince Seonggol).

Mao, who was once pushed out of the party due to a mistake in the Great Leap Forward movement and almost became an old man in the back room, who was only a symbol, overthrew the party cadres who were trying to push him down with the power of mass agitation represented by the Cultural Revolution and the Red Guard, and firmly solidified his power until his death. Wasn’t it

Rather than turning his speakers to the elite party cadres whose allegiance was questionable to him, Bo Boi turned his speakers to the masses of the people, to China’s 1.4 billion people, who are dissatisfied with the extreme wealth gap and corruption that have resulted from reform and opening-up and economic development.

-Changhongtaheuk (唱紅打黑: Let’s drive out the corrupt and re-establish the communist culture)!

– One farmer family (一農一家: one house for every peasant)!

-People’s Lottery

These were the three major slogans advocated by Bo Bo Si Lai at the meeting of the Politburo of the Party Central Committee.

In a way, it seemed like a very natural thing to say, but the most important part of the three slogans and what Bo Boi Lai wanted to emphasize was the third, ‘people’s lottery’.

It was to return power to the people.

– We, China, are a nation founded under President Mao’s ideology of liberating the people from oppression. But looking at the present reality, do not the people have little power, and rather corrupt party cadres have all the power to make decisions? This, in my view, is that the current party has forgotten the spirit of Chairman Mao and is falling into revisionism.

Of course, the Party cadres soaked in the honeydew of reform and opening couldn’t be eaten by making such a grazing noise in the Mao Zedong era. did not forget to promote

In fact, the reason Bo Si Lai came up with this slogan was because he had as a political role model another man, who was making a sensation in a completely different part of the world at the same time, besides Mao Zedong, who died long ago.

Another role model’s name was Hugo Chávez, the president of Venezuela in distant South America and a proponent of a new socialism called ’21st century socialism’.

– You have to do it that way! Only in that way can I seize power and lead China.

In fact, the political situation of Bosirai, Chavez, and the situation in China and Venezuela at that time were very similar.

Both countries were founded by nationalist heroes named Mao Zedong and Simon Bolivar, who later became dictators, who rescued the country from foreign threats. It was the same in that it was established as the national anthem.

In addition, as they turned to neoliberalism and growth first in the 1990s, they had in common that the majority of the people were suffering from a terrible gap between the rich and the poor, corruption, and political and economic collusion, contrary to the national ideology.

It was the same in that it was in opposition to the United States, the capital of capitalism, and also in the fact that it was in the experimental stage of establishing an independent state management model of market intervention and government-led planned development economy in opposition to neoliberalism and Western-style democracy led by the United States.

And, most importantly, for Boshirai, Chavez established a firm power through these popular-friendly agitation and propaganda rather than a small number of entrepreneurs and bureaucrats.

However, Bo Si Rai already has the army in his hands, so the conditions are much better than Chavez.

– Current neoliberalism. We need to abolish the revisionist error and realize distribution and welfare for the people to reproduce Chinese-style People’s Socialism and Maoism. Through him, I will gain the support of the people and become China’s Chavez and the second Mao Zedong.

This was the beginning of a frenzy called ‘Red Populism’ in the future, a combination of Chinese nationalism and South American populism based on Chinese ideology.
