Rasputin of the East

＜ Gaiden: Revolutionary (1) >

A sufficiently good science is indistinguishable from magic.

Humanity in the 21st century was fully aware of this.

Its foundation did not discriminate between civilians, governments, and the military.

Human life expectancy has increased significantly as DNA manipulation technology and artificial organ technology have reached a high level.

Drones and nanobot sprayers hidden everywhere prevent crime. Any criminal can’t do much for drones or nanorobots to subdue themselves before they continue the crime.

It is controlled by artificial intelligence created for the public interest, while protecting privacy while completing a nationwide surveillance system to protect humanity.

Soldiers inject nanobots into their bodies, or even mount micro-drones on their bodies and go out and send them flying at enemies like a flying worm’s rim.

However, the benefits do not go equally to all countries and to all humans in any case.

Of course, it costs money to receive artificial organs, and the state could pay for it in a strong welfare state, but in laissez-faire countries with no social safety net or poor laissez-faire, what had to be done with drugs, etc. did not change at all.

Security by the artificial intelligence system is applied only to a specific country or countries that have a treaty with that country. It is natural. The government did not establish this system to volunteer.

In addition, the purchase, maintenance, and management of drones and nanobots, of course, costs money. It is no exaggeration to say that the cost is astronomical for small countries.

As a result of the application of biotechnology, mechanical engineering, nanoengineering, and artificial intelligence to the military, a weak country is recognized as an opponent to be trampled on without causing a single casualty against a powerful country.

This was not just a matter between countries.

A wealthy country is not necessarily a normal country. Dictatorships or authoritarian regimes with great powers behind them use this system for technological dictatorship.

If all the people are monitored, if there is any disturbing movement, it will be suppressed, and even if there is a rebellion, if the military holds tight, the probability of a successful civil revolution will converge to zero on the premise that there is no foreign intervention.

What a fascinating condition for a dictatorship.

Didn’t the idols of dictators already exist?

Of course, many aspiring dictatorships did not overcome the harsh wall of reality.

It didn’t matter whether countries with that level of technology, such as the United States or Russia, had liberal tendencies.

In any case, they move by looking at the reality, not the ideal. Is there a saying that a person who lives only for tomorrow is eaten by a person who lives only for today?

Therefore, if it is judged that it is in the national interest to establish a dictatorship in any country for a superpower living in reality, it can provide technical support as much as possible.

But dictatorships rarely do well.

Because dictators are human too.

As a human being, we can make mistakes and fall.

It would be relatively rare if we would rather hand over all authority to artificial intelligence, but did he take the power by causing a coup while struggling to do so?

Even if the dictators introduced artificial intelligence, they only assumed the role of advisor, and did not hand over state management to artificial intelligence. If that had been the case, the state would have managed to survive even if the dictator was replaced, but such states eventually made a major mistake.

Dinosaurs such as the United States and Russia can twist the world’s economy with just one run, and they also have enormous amounts of information.

Therefore, these countries were able to see the maximum effect of AI support. In any case, the simple artificial intelligence shows as much as it knows, and the analysis becomes more accurate as much as it gives information.

Crucially, whether or not to follow the words of artificial intelligence, the weight class of mice caught among the dinosaurs was not sufficient to achieve economic development while operating such a nationwide surveillance system, artificial intelligence, nanobots, and drones.

In the end, one way or another, these countries eventually failed to operate the system itself, leading to the collapse of the regime.

Meanwhile, what about the US?

In the United States, the national surveillance system is a rhetoric.

What kind of country America is, it was overthrown by war with its home country for not allowing the killing of Indians and expanding its lands; the state government declared independence because it was dissatisfied with the policies of the federal government and fought a civil war; Isn’t it a stuck country? Isn’t that a country where gun ownership is a core freedom?

In such a country, would you like to introduce a nationwide surveillance system with the assistance of artificial intelligence?

Congress and the White House will be turned upside down.

Americans don’t even trust artificial intelligence. There is also an allergic reaction to the national surveillance system.

And the economic prediction system of artificial intelligence is based on the collection of huge amounts of information. In the end, even if artificial intelligence is introduced, the absolute amount of information to be absorbed and analyzed is insufficient, so it cannot be used properly.

Although drones and other military equipment have been improved and artificial organs have been distributed, artificial organs are still expensive and reserved for the wealthy. If you try to install a social safety net, you will have to suffer criticism for being a gangster.

who said? When I give bread to the hungry, people call me a saint, but when I want to know why they are hungry, they call me a communist.

Although communism was initially criticized for being an ignorant ideology, it was created because the times and the gloomy reality wanted it at the same time.

The intellectuals who advocated communism are wise people even by modern standards, but they might not have known that. Would intellectuals all over the world suck on opium and claim communism out of nowhere?

At least, I don’t know where the world we live now is, but it’s clear that there is something wrong somewhere, so why not?

And communism had no chance to prove its failure.

Of course, all the communist regimes that have existed so far have collapsed. Communes that existed for a short period of time were destroyed, and Nazi Germany was defeated in the war with Russia, and China ran wild.

However, it is clear that all of them were destroyed by ‘external factors’.

No country has ever collapsed because of purely internal factors. Of course, in the case of Mao Zedong, he killed his own people a lot, but it was the US nuclear weapons that ultimately ruined the People’s Republic of China.

So, if there is no need to go to war.

Assuming that you have the ability to win even if you go to war, or that there is no war.

Wouldn’t it be possible to realize communism, and beyond that, socialism in this world?

Up to now, all communist states have been destroyed by armies instigated by the feudal bourgeoisie and capitalists who feared their potential.

If the world does not exist without them, or if they succeed by starting a revolution within them, wouldn’t that be a reality?

Of course, it was impossible in Russia. Is it possible to plot something in Russia and not get caught? It is difficult to be free from eavesdropping unless you are a high-ranking person, and it was close to impossible for socialists to come into contact with that high-level person in the first place.

The effects of the world revolution must begin in the strongest countries. However, one of the two was practically impossible, so only the other remained.

So many communists entered the United States. Many were arrested, but some quietly hid.

Still, the idea of communism was attractive to many people, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the world and discrimination were serious enough to convince them.

Even if the method is not right, even if Hell may wait, what is the reason for people who are already in Hell to reject Hell?

There were still hidden small sparks that could spread into a huge fire at any time in the world.

In some countries, participation in the left movement was treated as a kind of youthful aberration or romance. In the distant future, ‘We were young and beautiful back then.’

It would have been better in this case. After all, as the left movement was treated as a kind of deviance, the moment you realize that you are no longer able to pursue a serious revolution, the chances of success of the communist revolution are rather similar to an exponential collapse.

If the idea of communism fell because of the rebellious behavior of the children of prosperous families who could make a living, there would be no more terrible insult to the communists than that. Because their struggle to liberate the people is treated like biker bikers, teenagers drinking and smoking.

But more than half of the world was still terrible. Even after 100 years have passed since the Industrial Revolution, the lives of ordinary people have not changed substantially.

A cultural lag has arisen, and still authoritarian, immortal social classes are being formed and maintained.

Unlike the aforementioned ‘struggle’ as a means of deviance, the struggles taking place in these countries were truly serious battles risking life and death, and their influence was incomparable.

Who wouldn’t support it? They want to make them the masters of the world.

Of course, in Russia in the Great War era, because of the war with the communists, the workers themselves, who overcame the power of ideology, lynched or informed communists, that is, German and British spies, etc. It was based on the special situation of soup, nationalism, and war, and it was clear that it was an unpredictable situation in most situations.

Above all, it makes sense only when we are at war with a communist country, but it was even more so since there are no communist countries left on the planet.

It was not accidental, but inevitable, that communists infiltrated all walks of life in the countries where such contradictions were piled up, from the lowest class who literally crossed the border between life and death, to the upper class, who had a keen eye for immorality.

Conversely, the subject of the left-wing movement, which took place as the above-mentioned attributes of ‘deviation’ and ‘rebellion’, was an area where most of the people did not have much motivation to support the communist revolution, as they were full of enough food to live on. .

It was for the same reason that in original history the communist revolution took place in Russia, not in England or America.

The more difficult and desperate the country to live in, the greater the power and influence of the communists.

The world order has not yet deviated significantly from the Victorian era. Just as human beings may know a little more than they did in ancient Rome, but they weren’t particularly wise.
