叔涵心语

愚民是中共治国的传统，中共只要一息尚存则愚民不止，毛病不改以致积恶成习！毛泽东用为人民服务和共产主义来愚民，习近平则用反腐和共同富裕来愚民。

第一大招，反腐。或许有很多人都不认同反腐是愚民的招数，甚至觉得反腐与愚民根本搭不上边。持这种看法的人只看到了反腐的热闹而没有看到反腐的门道，反腐本质上是政治手腕，才真与人民搭不上边！可耻的是，中共干任何事情都要以人民的名义，这才是最恶毒、也是最阴损的伎俩。习近平的前两任都反腐，但相比之下，习近平反腐的规模和力度都令前两任望尘莫及。习近平反腐是反给谁看的呢，肯定是让广大人民看的。人民痛恨腐败啊，看到习大力反腐、铁腕肃贪，当然拍手叫好，山呼万岁，那时的人们称习近平为习大大。这就为习赢得了廉政之名，为自己的政绩大大加分，支持率也随之大幅攀升。吃瓜群众哪里知道，习初登大位，这正是他所需要的啊。

但是，我们不妨深挖一下，习近平反腐真的是为了人民吗？如果说习反腐是为人民反的，那么，自习上任以来打了那么多的老虎〔高级官员〕，拍了那么多的苍蝇〔中低级官员〕，猎了那么多的白狐〔外逃官员〕，抄家得到的资产堆积如山，比之当年清朝嘉庆皇帝抄和绅家所获资财，有过之而无不及。然而，习近平上台十年来，中国老百姓从习的反腐运动中得到了一分一毫的实利吗，人民的福利有一毛钱的增加吗。没有，丝毫没有。事实上，在习近平时代，中国人的民生比以往的年代更加凋敝。

那习近平反腐的真正目的是什么呢，只有一个：稳固权力。中共内部的权力争斗一直都很激烈，习近平不会关心人民的死活，因为那不是他的切身利益。他只关心他的权力，为了权力他会不惜一切。实情是，习近平借反腐之名清洗了大批政敌，消除了对习近平极权的最大威胁，因而习现在凡事都可定于一尊。大家不妨看看，被习近平以腐败罪名拿下的官员，有哪一个不是习近平敌对阵营的人，有哪一个不是和习近平作对的人。只要是习近平阵营的官员基本没有一个是腐败的，只要是听习近平话的官员，也没有一个是腐败的！这就令人困惑了，中共极权专制下的官员有几个不贪腐的，连三岁小孩都知道，世上没有不吃鱼的猫！中共官场就是一个大粪坑，进了粪坑还能干净？！再说了，当官是为了啥，不就是为了以权谋利、以权谋色吗，不然，千百年来中国人为了当官无所不用其极？不腐败，利益从何而来，没有利益如何能在官场上混下去？当今最腐败的官员就是以习近平为首的官僚集团，只要跟习近平站在一起，无论多腐败都安然无恙。这就道出了习近平反腐的真相：选择性反腐。若习反腐是动真格的，那么，大陆官员的财产早就公开了！这就有力地证明，反腐从来都是打击政敌的手段，反腐从来都没有给人民增添一分利益。可见，习近平的反腐收获了一石二鸟之功效：博取廉政之名，赢得老百姓支持；打击政敌，巩固权力。难怪习近平自上台之后就热衷反腐，至今热情不减！

习近平上台八年，实际上一直都在为权抓狂：集权、固权、专权、极权〔定于一尊〕、谋求终生拥权〔修宪〕。习反腐仅仅是为了权力，实际受益者不是广大人民而只是习近平一人而已！但是，习近平却口口声声说，反腐是为了人民的利益，这不是天大的笑话吗，人民从反腐中得到啥啦，这不是公然以人民的名义在赤裸裸地愚弄人民又是什么呢？！

如果说反腐是隐秘的愚民手段，欺骗性太强，不易被识破，那么，近期习近平的愚民伎俩就太侮辱中国人的智商了！请看，

第二大招，共同富裕。近一段时间来，习近平大力打压民间资本，诸如阿里巴巴、腾讯、新东方等一大批民营企业都受到巨大冲击，严重阻碍了中国经济的发展。为了掩盖自己不懂现代经济的硬伤，习近平贸然喊出“共同富裕”这一愚蠢的口号。这一口号之所以对广大的吃瓜群众有吸引力，那是因为中国有超过九亿多的贫困人口，人均月薪不足二千元人民币，他们渴望富裕，这就给了韭菜们一丝希望，虽然遥不可及，但有总胜过无，习的口号就正迎合了韭菜们的这一心理。

然而，习近平，包括所有中共领导人，内心深处绝对不会让老百姓如愿，因为永远没法让百姓如愿。事实很明显，中共国这块大蛋糕，早就被中共体制内的各种利益集团瓜分殆尽了，只剩下那么一丁点，即便是这么一丁点，广大韭菜们为了不被饿死也必须起早贪黑才能勉强爭得，这正符合中共的最大利益：只有让广大韭菜们整天为了生计疲于奔命，他们就无暇顾及什么自由、民主、人权等普世价值了，只能像牲口一样活着。这样，中共利益集团才可以安心享用他们的大蛋糕，怎会把已经到手的那一份拿出来与韭菜们分享呢，试问，牛会把已经吃到嘴里的草吐出来吗？！但是，无论如何，中共也不会把这个实情告诉韭菜们啊，什么时候中共对老百姓说过一句真话？既然不能说真话，中共就只有睁眼说瞎话，堂而皇之地忽悠韭菜们。

历代中共领导就不停地给百姓们画大饼。毛画的是“共产主义”，邓画的是”让一小部人先富起来“，江泽民画的是“三个代表”，胡锦涛画的是”科学发展观“。现在轮到习近平画了，他没有什么水平，就抄邓小平的作业，把”一小部分人先”去掉，这样就画成了“共同富裕”。只不过，这个大饼与毛画的大饼本质上没有两样，因为“共同富裕”只有在“共产主义社会”才能实现，由此可见，习近平愚民的手段也太拙劣了！

或许有人认为“共同富裕”的口号未尝不对，说不定共产主义真的在习近平的时代实现。如果真有人这样想，那恭喜他，其思路与习近平一样，将来很有发展前途。但是，就是打死我也不能认同习近平的“共同富裕”，因为人类有史以来还从未曾出现过“共同富裕”，共同贫穷倒是见过不少，如当年毛时代的中国大陆和当今三胖的朝鲜。也许还有人要坚持诡辩：以前不曾出现并不表示今后就一定不会出现，就好比很多东西都是从无到有的一样。妙极了，说这话的人可以做一个杰出的政客。然而，铁的事实是：“共同富裕”与“共产主义”一样，本质上都是反人性的〔这是另一个问题，此处不展开〕。总之，要实现“共同富裕”，就必须改变人性，而人性永远不会变，人性一旦改变就非人类了，因而“共同富裕”在人类社会就永远荒唐、荒谬。

The measures Xi Jinping took to fool the Chinese People

Chen Shuhan February 04, 2022

Fooling the people as a means of controlling the state has been the tradition of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).  As long as the CCP is still alive, it will not stop making fools of its people. Xi Jinping did not get rid of Mao Zedong’s bad habits at all and kept accumulating his evil deeds until he became Xi Jinping today! 

Xi Jinping’s first major move to fool the Chinese people was anti-corruption. Perhaps many people do not agree that anti-corruption is a trick to fool the people, and even think there is no connection at all between anti-corruption and fooling the people. Those who hold this view only pay attention to the bright appearance of anti-corruption without noticing the dark core of anti-corruption, which is essentially a political maneuver that doesn’t have anything to do with the people! What is shameful is that the CCP does everything evil in the name of the people, which is the most vicious and insidious trick. Xi Jinping’s two predecessors both fought corruption, but in comparison, Xi Jinping fought corruption much more vigorously. The people hate corruption. When they see Xi vigorously fighting corruption with an iron fist, of course, they clap their hands and shout hooray, you see, people at that time called Xi Jinping Great Xi, which earned Xi the name of clean government and added scores to his performance. His approval rating has risen sharply, but how can the naive people know, Xi Jinping just ascended to the throne and what he needs madly is the support from his people. 

But let’s dig a little deeper. Is Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign really for the people?  If Xi’s anti-corruption campaign is for the people, then Xi has beaten so many tigers [senior officials], swatted so many flies [middle- and low-ranking officials], hunted so many white foxes [fugitive officials], and piled up mountains of assets from the raids on the corruptible officials’ households, which is comparable to the money gained from the raids on the houses of the Liohuru Heshen by the Emperor Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), but in the eight years since Xi Jinping came to power, have the Chinese people got a single cent from Xi’s anti-corruption campaign? Has the people’s welfare improved by a single penny? Actually, under Xi Jinping’s reign, the livelihoods of the Chinese people were more depressed than in previous eras. So what is the real purpose of Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign? Only one purpose: to secure power!

The power struggle within the CCP has always been fierce. Xi Jinping does not care about the people’s lives because it is not his immediate interest, he only cares about his power and he will do anything for it. Xi Jinping purged a large number of political enemies in the name of corruption, which eliminated the biggest threat to Xi Jinping’s totalitarian power and now everything is decided by Xi Jinping only. Let’s take a look at the officials who were taken down by Xi Jinping on corruption charges, which one of them is not from Xi Jinping’s rival campaign? Which one of them is not against Xi Jinping? None of the officials in Xi Jinping’s camp are corrupt, and none of the officials who listen to Xi Jinping are corrupt either. This is confusing. How many officials under the totalitarian dictatorship of the CCP are not corrupt, and who has ever seen a cat that doesn’t eat fish? This tells the truth about Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption efforts: selective anti-corruption. If Xi was serious about fighting corruption, the assets of mainland officials would have been made public long ago! This is strong evidence that anti-corruption has always been a means to combat political enemies, and anti-corruption has never added a single penny benefit to the people. It can be seen that Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption efforts have reaped the benefits of killing two birds with one stone: to win the name of a clean government and the support of the people; to fight political enemies and to consolidate power. No wonder Xi Jinping has been enthusiastic about fighting corruption since he came to power and his enthusiasm has not diminished so far! 

Xi Jinping has been in power for eight years and he has been frantic for power: to centralize power, to consolidate power, to get autocratic power, to achieve totalitarian power [all decided by Xi only], and to seek life-long power [constitutional amendment]. Xi’s anti-corruption campaign is just for power and the actual beneficiaries are not the people but Xi Jinping alone! However, Xi Jinping is always saying that anti-corruption is for the benefit of the people, isn’t this a big joke? What do the people get from the anti-corruption? Isn’t this fooling the people nakedly and blatantly in the name of the people? If not, what is it then? 

If anti-corruption is a covert means to fool the people, which is too deceptive to be easily detected, then Xi Jinping’s recent ploy to make a fool of people is too insulting to the intelligence of the Chinese! Now we see what follows. 

Xi Jinping’s second move to fool the people: common prosperity. In recent times, Xi Jinping has vigorously suppressed private capital, and a large number of private enterprises, such as Alibaba, Tencent, and New Oriental have been heavily affected, which has seriously hindered the development of China’s economy. To cover up his ignorance of the modern economy, Xi Jinping rashly shouted out the stupid slogan: common prosperity. This slogan appeals to the masses because there are more than 900 million poor people in China who earn less than 2,000 RMB (below 300 USD) per month per capita and they yearn for prosperity. This gives the grassroots a glimmer of hope, although out of reach, something is better than nothing, Xi’s slogan caters to this psychology of the grassroots.

But Xi Jinping, including all CCP leaders, in the depths of their hearts, will never let the people get what they want, which is the last thing for the CCP to do. The fact is obvious that this big piece of cake of communist China has long been divided up by various interest groups within the CCP system and only a small portion is left. Even if there is so little left for them, in order not to be starved to death, the majority of grassroots must get up early and sleep late only to make ends meet. This is in the best interest of the CCP: if the grassroots are made to run for their lives all day long, they will have no time for universal values such as freedom, democracy, and human rights, and they can only live like animals. In this way, the interest groups within the CCP can enjoy their big cake without worrying, how can they share their big cake with the grassroots? But in any case, the CCP will not tell the grassroots the truth, and when has the CCP ever told the people the truth? Since they can’t tell the truth, the CCP can only tell lies with their eyes open and fool the grassroots in a dignified manner. 

Thus, successive generations of CCP leaders have kept drawing big pies for the people. Mao Zedong drew” communism”; Deng Xiaoping drew” let a small number of people get rich first”; Jiang Zemin drew” the three representatives”; Hu Jintao drew “the scientific concept of development”. Now it is Xi Jinping’s turn to draw, he was not well educated and much less creative, and he just copied Deng Xiaoping’s homework and removed “a small number of people first”, so that he drew” common prosperity” or get rich together, but this pie is essentially the same as the one Mao drew, because” common prosperity” can only be achieved in a” communist society”, therefore it can be seen that Xi Jinping’s means of fooling the people is too low! 

Perhaps some people think that the slogan of “common prosperity” is not wrong and that maybe communism will come true in Xi Jinping’s time. If someone thinks so, congratulations to him, his thinking is the same as Xi Jinping’s and he has a promising future. However, I can’t agree with Xi’s “common prosperity” at all, because there has never been” common prosperity” in the history of mankind, but there has been a lot of common poverty, such as in mainland China during the Mao era and in North Korea today. Some people may insist on arguing that something that has never happened before does not mean it will never happen in the future, just as many things come from nothing. Great, the person who says that could be a brilliant politician someday. However, the hard fact is that” common prosperity” is essentially the same as “communism”, which is actually anti-human [that is another issue, not to be dealt with here]. To achieve “common prosperity”, we must change human nature, and human nature will never change, and when human nature changes, it is not human anymore. Thus, “common prosperity” will always be ridiculous in human society.
