In the process of studying history, many people like to be innovative and sensational, others say good he says bad, others say bad he says good; confusing history he gives a conclusion, he gives advice on the facts of the coffin; he gives a dialectical view of things that need to be viewed dialectically, and he plays dialectical with facts that need to be nailed down.
Such a person is not a lever, but a brain cripple!
We say that many things are double-edged swords, there are good and bad, and we cannot treat them all.
For example, the regional blackness of "Henan people are not good people" is obviously wrong. Which province has no good guys and no bad guys. But many things cannot be viewed dialectically, such as the aggression of the great powers against us.
According to the conclusion of the textbook: the aggression of the great powers has deepened our national crisis and objectively promoted our progress!
"If you can, Lao Tzu doesn't want such progress!" ----------------------------------
Why is such a dialectic wrong? The history of quiet night believes that there are mainly the following reasons:
1, we have been improving
Many people say that without the "enlightenment" of the Western powers, we will always grope forward in the dark feudal society and see the dawn of modern civilization!
What is modern civilization? Go to someone else's place to burn and loot and then go back to the country to pretend to be a gentleman?
Where is the darkness of feudal society? The leader said: "The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of world history." ”
The same at the bottom of the class, the same land and taxes, which social system will be brighter?
When many people affirm that Western civilization has brought us great progress, they completely deny the social progress of our country and pin the development of our society on the aggression of the Western colonizers, which is itself a kind of pathological psychology.
Marx said: "Internal causes are the inexhaustible driving force for the change and development of things."
I remember that Mingyue said it particularly well in "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty": "The people have the ability to repair themselves, as long as they give him a stable social environment, they will consciously create all kinds of wealth." ”
The same is true for the entire empire, if there is no invasion of Western colonists, relying on the qing dynasty's dynastic cycle law, the Qing Dynasty may not survive the 20th century, it will be overthrown by a new regime, when the new regime is full of vitality, the performance must be much stronger than the late Qing Dynasty!
Therefore, although our development in the agricultural empire is relatively slow, it is definitely developing, and the arrival of Western colonists has broken this law of development, making the Qing Dynasty gradually become an economic vassal of the great powers. Because of its acceptance of the so-called Western civilization, the Qing Dynasty "had the privilege" to become a place where Western civilization benefited and a place where the social productive forces underwent dramatic changes.
However, like India today's frenzied buying of US-Russian fighter jets, will it get the world's most advanced fighters? Similarly, western colonists coming to invade will make you develop at a higher level than they do?
When did you see India growing beyond the UK?
So aggression is aggression, and there is no social progress to speak of!
2) The great powers never want you to be strong
To say that the Western colonizers promoted the progress of our country, we can think like this: If the rich people take a knife and cut the poor, and accidentally leave the knife in the poor people's homes when they leave, will the poor become stronger?
Specific to the Western powers invading us, what is their purpose? Is it to injure us or to give us a knife?
Of course it was robbery, what do you think?
In order to satisfy the resources and markets needed for their own industrial production, the Western powers are constantly deepening their aggression against our country and have no concern for the progress of our society. Even for the sake of better colonization, they want us to be ignorant and ignorant forever!
Many people today like to talk about Hong Kong, on the grounds that Hong Kong has developed best among the British colonies, and the total GDP once reached a quarter of the country when it returned, so the Western powers are deliberately promoting the progress of the colonies!
Here, we need to clarify two concepts:
Colonial and semi-colonial are two different things, just like growing one's own vegetable field and stealing vegetables from a neighbor's house, the result of plunder is the same, but the form is completely different;
It is the efforts of the Hong Kong people, not the British, that determine the economic take-off of Hong Kong! This is true of the colonies and semi-colonies of the world;
Hong Kong has been a British colony since its cession in 1842, and it is a colony without a deadline, as has Kowloon. Only the New Territories is a 99-year leasehold. Because there are no restrictions, it is considered by the British to be their own territory for management, which is naturally different from the late Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, if the Western colonists did not have a pit in their brains, it would be impossible to take the initiative to let the Qing Dynasty develop, and then add trouble to themselves!
How did we develop? It is people of insight, including landlords and bourgeoisie, who take the initiative to choose to learn from the West in the face of pain in the north, and the so-called "internal causes are the inexhaustible driving force for the change and development of things", and this is something that Western countries do not want to see!
Therefore, the invasion of western powers is definitely more harmful than beneficial, and the obstacle is greater than the promotion! There are many windows and ways to learn from the so-called advanced civilizations of the West, and being invaded is the most painful way! And these are not necessary for our development!
There are many omissions, please axe correction!
