The Grand Design: The scourge of humanity – Communism
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” If an ideology begins with this sentence, you can expect that it will never stop the engine of “revolution”. Communism is a scourge of humanity not because of how it promotes equality. Above all else, Communism is about class struggles. It is class struggles foremost. What division of classes is secondary.
When one class has vanquished another, would things stop? Will the Communist ideology discard its wrath and sit down to build an utopian dreamland?
To answer this question we need to understand what class struggles entail. The original generation of class struggles was familiar – between the rich and the poor. Now we can almost confidently say that China might have succeeded in that regard in destroying the rich, and then introducing a new generation of rich people. But has China simply stopped there and started building?
Yes, and no. We will come back to this shortly.
Class Struggles do not limit itself to just the rich and the poor. The Manifesto published in 1848, where the quote from the start of the article is quoted from, continued in stating “Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed,…” It basically means that for as long as there can be a line of division drawn, any society can be divided into oppressor and oppressed. And when the struggles between the 2 groups shall constitute to “the history of all hitherto existing society”, new class struggles will continue lest a part of future history becomes not “the history of class struggles”.
The line is of course arbitrary. But it is an efficient division of any society. If you have a small village which contacts Communism like a pox, you can already see the picture – the traditional elders are oppressing the younger generation. The younger generation who has learnt the modern knowledge shall then take up arms and destroy the oppressing elders! In a workplace, the manager against the foremen. Any dichotomy can be reframed into oppressor and oppressed. And in the middle, the leeches profiteering from people’s conflicts are then born to exploit people’s emotions.
Back to China. Are we seeing new oppressor and oppressed pairs? This is where it gets tricky.
“Whenever a king sees that his people are about to revolt against him, he starts a war with another country.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
China has made used precisely this principle to declare a new class war against external adversities. Who are the oppressed? The entire Chinese people, and therefore the Communist Party represents the oppressed. Who are the oppressors? It will not be difficult to find out: the Imperialist USA, the Militarist Japan, the Colonialist UK, the anti-revolutionary Taiwan and the treacherous Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is not just disliked due to its history. It is part of the class enemies who have been oppressing Chinese for decades. It is time for retribution and therefore Hong Kong is the top on its hit list.
Hong Kong is only kept alive for how useful it is. When the time comes, there will be no hesitation.
