Chinese spirit 辜鸿铭 1981Words 2018-03-18
Finally, let's examine the case against European diplomats.According to the theory of government, the Magna Carta of Liberty in Europe, diplomats - the current politicians and ministers in charge of government and public affairs of a country, they can only carry out the will of the people.In other words, just do what the common people in the country tell them to do.Thus, we see that diplomats, and now politicians and ministers in the governments of European countries, have become machines, a talking machine.In fact, like puppets in a puppet show.The swollen puppets have no will of their own, they are up or down, and they are all at the mercy of the common people.This kind of puppet without a soul has no voice of its own and no independent will of its own.So how can we say that the diplomats - the politicians and ministers of various European countries are responsible for this war? (z-78)

In fact, I think, the strangest thing is that in the governments of European countries today, the rulers, soldiers and diplomats or politicians and executive ministers who are actually in charge of government affairs, are not allowed to have a will of their own, and none of them are allowed to have a will. Any right to do things that are conducive to national security and interests.And it was the common people--John Smith, editor of the Patriotic Times, Bobs of Henderstetts, sausage-and-jam-maker in Carlyle's day, and now master of the gigantic "dreadnoughts" , the usurer, Moses Ram--they all have enough power to have a will and a place to speak in the national government.In fact, they have the power to tell rulers, soldiers and diplomats what is in the interest and security of the nation.So if you look into the matter a little bit, you'll find that it's these three people -- John Smith, Bobbs of Henderstetts, Moses Ram -- who are responsible for this war.What I want to point out here is that it is precisely these three kinds of people who created the terrible modern war machine-modern militarism in Europe, and it is this terrible machine that provoked the war again.

But now, you ask me, why do the sitting rulers, soldiers and diplomats cowardly back down in favor of the above three?My answer is that because the common people - even the good ones such as Professor Dixon, did not loyally support their country's sitting rulers, soldiers and diplomats, but instead joined forces with John Smith, Bobs and Moses Ram Stand together against the government.Common people support them for two main reasons.First, because they tell the people that they belong to the party of the populace; second, the people of European countries have been educated since childhood that "human nature is evil", that is, no matter who, whenever he is given power, he will abuse it.Even, once people could go and rob and murder his neighbors, he certainly would.In fact, I would like to say here that John Smith, Bobbs, and Moses Ram were able to use the people to compel sitting rulers, soldiers, and diplomats to build terrible modern machines and provoke this A terrible war, because the common people of Europe, as a group, have always been selfish and cowardly.

So if you go back to the source, you will find that the culprits of this war were not the rulers, the soldiers and the diplomats, not even John Smith and Bobbs and Moses Ram, but in fact it was Professor Dixon himself waits for those good people.Professor Dixon may be offended by this, and retort: ​​We common people do not want this war.However, who wants this war?My answer is that no one wants this war.Well, what caused this war to break out?My answer is, it's fear, the fear of the mob.This fear took hold of the masses of the common people throughout Europe when, last August, the terrible modern machine in Russia, driven by the European masses, began to move.In short, I think it was fear—the fear of the mob, the kind that is spreading among the European populace today, that took hold of and paralyzed the minds of European rulers, soldiers, and diplomats, and made them helplessly launch this war. war.We see, therefore, that it was not the rulers, soldiers, and diplomats who led the common people into this catastrophe, as Professor Dixon said, but the common people themselves—selfish, cowardly, and panicked at the last moment, The cowardice and fear of the common people pushed those poor and helpless rulers, soldiers and European diplomats into this abyss, into the hell of war.What I really want to say here is that the tragic and hopeless situation in Europe today has its roots in the pitiful, frustrating behavior of the ruling rulers, soldiers and diplomats who are at war at this time. The powerlessness of human sympathy. (z-80)

From what I have said above, it is obvious that if we are to preserve the lasting peace of Europe, now and in the future, the first thing we must do is not to involve the people in politics as Professor Dixon said, but to remove them from government. Get out forever.These common people are a mob, they are too selfish and too cowardly.Whenever there is peace or war, it is fear.In other words, if peace is to be kept in Europe, I think the first thing to do is to protect the rulers, the soldiers, and the diplomats from the molestation of the populace, from the mob - the fear of the mob, It just makes them feel more helpless.In fact, leaving aside the future, if Europe is to be rescued from its current predicament, I think there is only one possible path, which is to first save the rulers, soldiers and diplomats who are in a state of war, and save them from their current impotence come out.I would like to point out here that the current miserable and helpless situation in Europe is that everyone wants peace, but no one has the courage and strength to make peace.So I say that the first thing we have to do is to rescue the rulers, soldiers and diplomats from their present helplessness.And find some means of empowering them - using those powers to fight for peace.So, I think there is only one way to go, and that is for the people of Europe -- for the people of Europe not to go to war, you have to tear up the current charter, the Magna Carta of Liberty, and make a whole new charter -- just as in China, we The "Magna Carta of Loyalty" given to us by the good people's religion here.
