NO ROOM FOR POLITICIANS IN CHINA
Politicians would like us all to believe democracy is as indispensible
as the air we breath and the water we drink.
But democracy are causing class and
ethnic divides, not to mention being used as battle cries in wars of
aggression. The politicians seem to thrive on such social
disharmony by preying on
the majority's whim. But their real aim is to take care
of no. 1. As for the people, it's much easier to wish for their
campaign promises than to clean up
the nightmares they cause once elected. The nightmares,
in turn, justify their continued existence. The vicious
cycle thus never ends.
Opposite to a meritocracy, where the ruling elders may need to suppress
the people for their own good, the democratic politicians make
everybody happy for their own bad. Their greatest crime is making
people content with their negative existences. One common ploy is
the
separation of church and state. This makes the shady politicians
shine through around the
blood-thirsty, kill-or-be-killed religionists.
Historically, China has somehow escaped this man-made plight.
Chinese believe Nature would always
provide a solution. China is meant to be led by
capable elders, based on
experience and fairness. The occasional intrusions by outside
nonbelievers were only
their expressions of aggression. Such
aggressive few were actually in a race, to become civilized, against
their
own self-destruction. In a harmonious society, there simply is no
slot in the social hierarchy to fit them. This especially speaks
for
the modern day politicians.
I've just overheard some economist on TV proposing America should
import as
many scientiests and engineers as possible. He also mentioned
that most Chinese leaders are technical professionals, but America's
are lawyors and, when things get really lucky, a movie star or
two. Well, China better make sure: the engineers can go, but no
politians can come.
So far, China has imported militarism, religions, capitalism and
technology from
the West.
But there simply is no room for politicians.
