Chapter 21 Socialism in China (February 14, 1904)

Socialists have been a special product of the world in the past hundred years.Including its most important meaning, it is just that the land is returned to the public, the capital is returned to the public, and labor is exclusively used as the source of value for all things.McCarthy said: "The current economic society is actually formed by a few people plundering the land of the majority." Shisor said: "All landowners and capitalists steal and steal." Heard of it.Although, my China has always existed.Wang Mang issued an order in the first year of the founding of the country: "The Han family reduced the land rent, and the tax was one at thirty, but the wealthy people invaded and harassed the land and robbed the holidays. It was called one at thirty, and five in ten. The father and son worked together all the year round. The income is not enough for self-sufficiency, so the rich are arrogant and evil; Take the rich man's land to cultivate and share the income; the fake one is like the poor renting the rich man's land; the robbery, the rich robs them of their taxes and bullies them." This is to say that the landlords and capitalists are robbers The righteousness also.And Song Su? said: "Since the wells and fields were abandoned, the fields were not owned by those who cultivated them, and those who had fields did not cultivate them. The fields of those who cultivated them were used to enrich the people. The home of the rich people, the land is large and the business is wide, the rice fields are connected, and the floaters are recruited. Plowing among them, whipping and driving slaves, treating them as servants, sitting around, pointing at them, and serving the people, summer and autumn harvests, no one violates their festivals to play, and when they enter the fields, they get half of them. Whoever gets half of it.

There is one person who has a field, and ten people cultivate it, so that the landlord spends half of the day to be rich and strong, and the tiller eats half of the day to be poor and hungry. "These remarks are similar to the manifesto of the 1066-year All-National Workers' Party Alliance. The well field system in ancient China is on the same footing as socialism in modern times, and many people in recent times can say it, so there is no clue.
