Chapter 109 Exploitation Will Not Disappear

"If the world can do this, our revolution seems unnecessary!" Long said to Trek.

Considering that if all countries enter a state of production development and material abundance, there will be no hunger and war.

Long discovered that Tracy was actually the biggest obstacle to his revolution, but if everyone had enough food to eat, would there still be a need for revolution?

"Abundance of materials will not eliminate exploitation, it will only temporarily ease the pressure of exploitation." Trek replied, squeezing Bello Betty's hand.

"Hmm?" Long was a little confused.

“The essence of exploitation has nothing to do with the amount of material things. If everyone has enough material things, who would be willing to become a tool for others’ enslavement and pleasure?”

"As the main wealth owner, you can use your wealth to control others. But when everyone becomes wealthy, your control naturally weakens."

"If a nobleman loves beauty and slavery, but everyone has enough material and wealth to survive without having to sell their bodies, then the wealth of these nobles seems meaningless."

"You might ask, what if someone uses the power and force in their hands to force you? But his power and force also need money and benefits to consolidate. If everyone can easily obtain sufficient benefits through other means, who would be willing to work for you and be your thug?"

"So the essence of social inequality is that it is deliberately done by the ruling class. Only when wealth is concentrated in their hands can they have privileges and allow the lower classes to serve them for survival and profit, and be enslaved and entertained by them."

"The use of force is an extension, but money is the main means. When people are hungry and survival is unsustainable, men may be enslaved for the sake of their families and children, and women may voluntarily sacrifice themselves as playthings for wealth and survival."

“So you will find that even if the ruling class has a mountain of wealth, they will not easily share it with the hungry and cold people. Only the loyal dogs who swear allegiance to them can get bones, and only the civilians who are enslaved and entertained by them can drink a mouthful of clear soup.”

“Wealth is not about quantity, but about distribution. In order to maintain their privileges, the ruling class will certainly increase exploitation, and the people will sooner or later fall into slavery again, but with fewer deaths than in times of scarcity.”

"Our guild is now only using various means to ensure that the supply of materials exceeds the demand, so that everyone can benefit and there will naturally be no war or hunger. However, the ruling class will gradually increase exploitation and test the bottom line of the people, so that the lower class will remain in a state where they will not be exterminated but can be driven by them."

"..." After listening to what Trek said, Long and Belo Betty fell into deep thought. They only saw the hope that the guild currently brought, but did not realize that the problems always existed.

"So what do you think?" Long could only continue asking. They had never considered these things before and couldn't find the answer for a while.

"From a philosophical point of view, there is no solution. The essence of the development of the biological world is a dynamic balance!" Trek let go of Bello Betty's hand, picked up a twig and drew a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram on the sand.

"What is this?" Long looked at the pattern curiously.

"I used the analogy of grass, sheep, and wolves before. This is a dynamic process. Now the grass is just getting more abundant, so the sheep won't starve to death so easily, but the wolves will become more numerous. After a certain period of time, the whole process will start to change dynamically again."

“This yin-yang fish represents the laws governing the world. Balance is not static, and the world is not black and white. Every time the balance is broken, the world will be reshuffled, and every reshuffle can push civilization forward.

But exploitation and oppression cannot disappear. All we can do is to make the reshuffle more gentle, reduce wars and deaths, and establish several ruling groups that check and balance each other.

Formulate a common rule to set a reasonable threshold for the degree of exploitation of the lower classes, ensure a certain degree of fairness, and ensure that the lower classes have the materials to meet their ordinary lives, and have no shortage of inducements to promote social development and ensure the moderate development of mankind. "

"So you want me to continue the revolution? Become a balancing force, but now it seems..." Long said halfway with a slight hesitation.

“The Guild has not intervened too much in the other three seas. Although trade has injected wealth into the three seas, the majority of it is still monopolized by the ruling class. There are still sparks of revolution in those places.

And seeing the prosperous life of the people of East Sea and Alabasta, these people who are deep in darkness will see the light. They will no longer get used to the darkness, but will not be numb, and will be more willing to join your revolutionary army. "

"Of course, I hope you can take the decapitation approach and minimize kingdom wars. I believe that the light of the Adventurer's Guild will make it easier for the general public to support the revolution. The Adventurer's Guild will also provide assistance and loans to those countries that are in need of reconstruction and the people who need help."

"It's so true!" Long was shocked, thinking, "I didn't expect Trek's layout to be so interconnected. At first, I thought the guild was not capable enough to influence the other three seas. It seems that this is to use the light of the East China Sea and Alabasta to ignite a wave of revolution in the world! In the past, revolutions needed to be made up, but now there is a big pie, and everyone is willing to work with you!"

"The guild will eventually become a giant, but a single dominant company will always lose its original purpose. I don't want the guild's successor to become a new Celestial Dragon after I die!"

"So we need several major forces to check and balance each other and supervise each other. As for the World Government, once we grow up, we will have bargaining chips and can force them to give up some privileges, prohibit the buying and selling of slaves, limit the amount of heavenly gold, and limit the number of weapons they can own."

"If you disagree, then eliminate their leaders and let them re-elect their leaders. As for why I don't completely eliminate the World Government, it's because this process is full of war, and I need the World Government to supervise the new forces established by the Adventure Guild and the Revolutionary Army."

"If the World Government reacts, won't you be in danger?" Long continued to ask.

"The Adventurer's Guild is now a seemingly loose organization. It does not have a huge bureaucratic system or a real headquarters. It has already tied up with the Navy and the Kingdom's nobles, so it is not afraid of the devastating blow from the World Government, because if you hurt the enemy 800 times, you will lose 1,000 of your own money."

"And we have already tasted the sweetness of this model. Even if all the core members I represent are eliminated, this model will be reborn in the form of other names. Maybe it will be called the Development Guild, the Construction Guild, etc. What we pass on is essentially the idea."

Long left, because according to Trek's plan, the world was about to begin a revolutionary wave, and his task was very heavy.

As for Bello Betty, she was kept by Long as a liaison and to learn about the guild's development and construction experience. Long also secretly talked to her before leaving. Trek didn't know what they were talking about, probably the secrets of the Revolutionary Army, and he was not interested.

Trek felt that they should make the best use of resources. It would be a waste of resources for a great god like Belo Betty to just sit here and watch the show, so he planned to arrange for her to use the encouraging fruit to encourage the workers and farmers to see if the construction and planting speed could be accelerated.
