摘要:

本文深入分析了共产主义政权在掌握和维持权力方面的卓越效率，及其在创造经济繁荣方面的根本性失败。文章详细阐述了毛泽东时代因政治运动导致的大规模死亡与饥荒，文化革命的起源、执行及其对社会、教育的破坏性影响。通过与斯大林、希特勒等历史人物的对比，以及对习近平个人经历和中共意识形态延续性的探讨，文章揭示了极权主义的深层机制，以及国家在反思历史黑暗面时的普遍困境。

权力悖论与文化革命的开端：共产主义的控制论及其代价

毛泽东（Mao Zedong）的上台标志着中国历史的一个剧变时期，其铁腕统治直接导致了数千万人民的死亡。然而，一个令人费解的现象是，在他掌握大权后，国家内部从未爆发过真正意义上的大规模叛乱或成功的政变。这似乎强有力地证明了共产主义（Communism）政权在夺取和维持权力方面的“高明之处”。其政治体制（Communist system and the party system）的构建与运行，尤其是在国家（government）的设置上，被设计得极其有效，能够牢牢掌控统治。然而，这种对权力的极致追求和掌控，却未能转化为人民普遍的经济繁荣（Prosperity），反而常常导致“层层叠加的贫困”（compounding poverty）。从越南（Vietnam）的经历来看，即使在其共产主义胜利后，该国也面临着饥荒的困境，尽管其地理条件似乎足以支撑三季丰收；而朝鲜（North Korea）至今仍深陷贫困泥沼。这些案例都成为了这种体制下“共产主义的辉煌”（Brilliance of Communism）所付出的沉重代价。其核心在于，这种模式善于控制（maintaining power）和攫取（seizing power）权力，尤其是在战争（Warfare）时期，能够确保政权的生存，但其最终结果却并非带来普遍的富裕（Prosperity），而是持续的贫困（poverty）。

这种对权力运作的深刻认知和对潜在危机的警惕，促使毛泽东时刻关注权力巩固。在目睹尼基塔·赫鲁晓夫（Nikita Khrushchev）于1956年发表的、公开批判约瑟夫·斯大林（Joseph Stalin）的演讲后，毛泽东深切担忧自己死后，其政治遗产也可能被后继者清算，遭遇类似的命运。为了确保自己死后地位的稳固，避免被“否定”，他决定发动文化大革命（Cultural Revolution）。他巧妙地动员了在共产主义意识形态教育下成长起来的青年群体，组建了“红卫兵”（Red Guards），并指示他们“造反有理”，将矛头直指教师、知识分子和整个教育系统，迅速将中国社会推入了一场近乎内战的混乱之中。在此之前，包括彭德怀（Pungo haai）和刘少奇（Leos shachi）等高级官员曾试图限制毛泽东的权力，但最终未能阻止文化大革命的爆发。在此期间，毛泽东还利用了李保（Ly baow，一位被提及的军事领导人）等将领来试图恢复秩序，尽管这些行动本身也伴随着复杂的权力斗争和清洗。

Original English

all the turmoil that Mao causes all the

people when he gets in power tens of

millions of people are dying and yet

there's never a major Insurgency after

he takes power there's never a coup that

works Communists are good at this when

the North Vietnamese win what do they

promply get famine and in Vietnam I

think you have kind of three harvests

like how do you ever have famine in that

place but uh yeah they did uh Comm this

is the Brilliance of Communism is this

Comm R system and the party system and

how they set up their government it's

incredibly effective about maintaining

power it's a very effective about

seizing power during Warfare maintaining

it that thereafter but it does not

deliver Prosperity it it delivers

compounding poverty take a look at North

Korea it's a mess but the man's in power

why don't the highlevel officials in the

CCP after they see the impact of the

Great lead forward the the lakes and D J

pings why don't

they well they they they um uh he he

wasn't running day-to-day Affairs but in

terms of making sure he's never in

position to in the future reolution um

this is when you get uh Pungo haai who

uh this he was the General that was in

charge of forces during the Korean War

and also long he Long March generation

he had lost several of his siblings to

starvation over the course of these

Civil Wars and uh he he he and Leos

shachi pulled the plug on Ma and then

Mao is uh demoted from one of his

positions uh and that's when you get the

cultural revolution cuz U Mao is on his

way out of power from these guys so what

does Mao do is he rallies the youth the

red guards these are the children who've

been educated in communist education

about how wonderful the Communists are

and beloved chairman Ma so chairman now

tells the teenagers that they should be

in charge think about teenagers not much

life experience but telling them they're

in charge and then they start out by

killing off their teachers right they

have teachers they probably don't like

and it's incredibly empowering and then

they start working their way up the

educational system and fan outward and

uh it's like a semi Civil War and then

this is when ly baow comes in who is a

military leader and Ma's going to use

him to restore order uh but after he's

ousted all the people who are going to

get rid of him so that's what the

cultural revolution is about and it it

um is ruinous for

production right doing all this and

you're gutting your education Sy

educational system like all the people

who gave the hard grades who have may

actually known something they're gone

from M's

perspective didn't the cultural

revolution work extremely well because

for him yeah for he he launches it

because he sees kushev speech in 1956

denouncing Stalin and what he had done

he didn't want the same thing to to him

after he dies and today look the

portrait of ma hangs in the square and

he's like revered in the way that Hitler

or Stalin aren't revered in their

countries despite killing more people so

yeah well though I think Stalin's having

a bit of a comeback with Vladimir

Putin so and and Vladimir Putin is

starting to mimic more of the um

centralized he's going to recentralize

his economy in ways that start looking

like the old one when people say things

like xan Ping is acting like Mao how do

you react knowing how Mao actually

behaved oh xiin ping apparently reveres

ma my understanding about XI Jin Ping's

education is his dad was a very

highlevel communist leader who was

purged but not killed and sent to sort

of interior North somewhere in China and

so when she was on the what is it the

down to the countryside movement where a

lot of kids were sent to really horrible

places he was sent I think where his dad

was so what or or where protectors who

liked his dad were so it wasn't as bad

it could be but um he was not well

educated because he couldn't be in that

period right it's during the colge he

may have degrees from places but the

institution in question during the the

cultural revolution wasn't delivering an

education so he he's a believer in

communism don't don't ever kid yourself

that the the Communist Party of China

doesn't believe in communism now they

think they've modified some of the uh

economic stuff under dun shaing but now

they're recentralizing it right back the

way it was given that the uh the fact

that he personally suffered during the

cultural revolution I think there's a

story that at some point because his dad

was denounced he was denounced and he

like tried to come back to their home to

get fed by his mother and his mother had

to turn him away this happens to him

during the cultural

revolution how do you explain these like

um the CCP officials who personally

suffered during the cultural revolution

being prau I mean Stalin was abused as a

child and then he's incredibly abusive

Hitler was abused as a child I

why why would you expect well you're

assuming the man I I use the word psych

sociopath or psychopath I both apply to

him uh don't think he's going to have

any Tender Mercies for anyone oh he

abandoned various sets of kids who

starved to death and died and one son he

put him right up in Korea where he could

get killed and he promptly

did so oh and Stalin that was another

great one well the Nazis captured

Stalin's son and wanted to trade him for

some something it's stons na na

n h how do people in China today think

about Mao and why why aren't they more

pissed off you know you look at these

numbers I I'm I'm guessing I'm not

Chinese um but I think all of us need to

be proud of things and of course one

thing to be very proud of if you're CH

Chinese is Chinese civilization these

enormous achievements in

philosophy in The

Sciences uh all kinds of Arts it's

incredible but many Chinese also want to

feel proud of their leaders and so ma is

incredibly

consequential and I think it's also

really

hard um to look at the dark side of your

own country this country has slavery it

is our original sin we have not gotten

over it and the part of the United

States where slavery was most deeply

embedded to this day has the deepest

problems dealing with that

革命的代价与历史遗产的审视

文化大革命（Cultural Revolution）对国家生产和教育体系造成了毁灭性的打击。在这场政治运动中，许多真正拥有专业知识和技能的人才遭到迫害，导致了知识断层和生产力的严重下降。然而，从毛泽东（Mao Zedong）个人的视角来看，文化大革命在很大程度上是成功的，因为它确保了他死后免遭像斯大林（Joseph Stalin）那样被后继者清算和批判的命运，并为其赢得了远超希特勒（Hitler）或斯大林在本国所能获得的崇拜和神化地位。这种权力斗争的逻辑和对自身历史评价的考量，甚至在当代俄罗斯（Russia）有所回响，弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）正逐步重塑经济，使其重新走向中央集权（centralized），模仿旧有模式。

即使在中国共产党（CCP）内部，一些曾亲身遭受文化大革命巨大苦难的官员，也依然坚守着或选择性地调整着共产主义意识形态。这引出了一个复杂的问题：为何那些曾经的受害者，有时会成为维护或延续某种压迫性体制的执行者？这种现象可能与领导者自身的心理创伤有着深刻的关联，正如斯大林和希特勒的经历所示，童年时期遭受虐待的个体，成年后可能表现出极端的施虐倾向，并缺乏对他人的怜悯之心（Tender Mercies）。对于中国（China）的民众而言，在为悠久灿烂的中华文明（Chinese civilization）及其在哲学、科学、艺术等领域的巨大成就感到自豪的同时，直面国家历史的黑暗面，如奴隶制（slavery）对美国（United States）社会至今仍留下的深层问题，无疑是一项极其艰难的任务。这种普遍存在的对国家历史黑暗面的回避，也折射出民族认同与历史真相之间的复杂张力。
