The issue of the privileged class is ultimately the issue of distribution of interests. Since mankind entered class society, this issue has always been the core issue. From the perspective of historical development, the distribution system generally tends to be fair.

Of course, this fairness is also divided into objects and countries. If you reincarnate in the third brother, don’t expect to receive the human rights treatment from Nordic countries. No matter what, you can be reincarnated in developed countries, it is still luckier than reincarnation in developing countries.

In other words, this fairness in Russia in different periods is also inconsistent. For example, in the Tsar era, unless you are aristocrat or bourgeoisie, you really don’t expect to enjoy good human rights. The people in the Soviet era will inevitably encounter many life problems, but overall they are still better than the Tsar era.

However, compared with the average living standard in the Soviet era and the average living standard in developed Western Europe, it was the first level. This difference is the root cause of all problems. Without comparison, the difference cannot be shown. If the whole world is the living state of small countries and few people advocated by Lao Tzu, many ordinary people will probably feel happy as a cattle and a horse.

The problem with the Soviet Union was that the opponents of the same era were too strong, which made the domestic people show a huge gap by comparison. In addition, the corrupt life of a few privileged classes magnified the gap and attracted hatred, which was naturally the subject of thousands of people.

In this case, you either learn from "Cao County" and use the Jin family father and son's policy of ignoring the people, and fooling the people as fools. They don't let them find the real gap, so that they can make a day. But even Cao County has countless defectors. It can be seen that blockade and imprisonment are not the fundamental solution to the problem.

To put it in the words of Marx, there is only one solution to the problem, that is, to develop productivity, produce more material products to meet the needs of the people, and to meet the needs of everyone. All problems will naturally be solved. However, even the Datong society has added a premise that the productivity has been unprecedentedly developed.

To be honest, it is the same as the relevant departments. It is a very vague indicator. Anyway, even in the 21st century, the people of the world's top Americans have not yet lived the life of Lao Ma's dream. As for the Middle East Oil Pirates and the Nordic Virgin, who are even richer than the United States, although their lives are good, it is nonsense to say that they have completely realized Datong.

Anyway, it is a problem to see whether Lao Ma’s prophecy can be realized in the 22nd century. Moreover, in Li Xiaofeng’s view, the key to the problem is not the abundance of material things, but the fact that people’s hearts have no end. Let’s put it this way, a hundred years ago, Chinese people generally struggled below the poverty line. At that time, for ordinary people, it was Datong society that could not fight and have a peaceful life without fighting, and still have a full meal.

What about a hundred years later? Is the Chinese people just having enough food? I'm afraid that every meal with meat and clothes is not considered a paradise. You have to have a house and a car to find a wife. And it is probably more expensive to achieve the so-called sense of happiness.

And this is the key to the problem. A hundred years ago, even if you have rice and white flour every meal, it is a blessing, but today, having a house and a car are the most basic. Can the progress of productivity really keep up with the expansion of human beings? Let's put it this way, human eyes are always only focused on the group that lives better than them, and they want to have some.

Objectively speaking, this promotes competition and is conducive to human productivity development, but at the same time, with the expansion of *, when these * cannot be achieved, problems arise. A simple truth is, why do you have to pedal a tricycle when you drive a car? Why do you have to rent a house if you live in a luxury villa? This comparison is within the normal range. It is beneficial, but when society is polarized seriously, this comparison will amplify the negative emotions in people's hearts.

This was the case in the Soviet Union. Think about it, if the privileged class was only a little stronger than ordinary people, would the negative emotions be so strong? When you, a member of the Central Committee, can only go to work by bicycle, will ordinary people still think that taking buses by walking is unfair and unreasonable?

Maybe they are still dissatisfied with life, but the spearheads they vented may not be directed at the top or the system. This is when the Taizu of China was in a tight life, but not many people thought that the people above were all dog officials and bastards who beat bones and marrow. Because the gap between everyone was not widening, they were all living hard lives.

But if you say that the officials of Taizu's period were honest and dedicated to the public, they were all public servants of the people, and then the dog would laugh. There might not be general corruption and bribery. But taking advantage of bureaucracy and power, it is definitely still widespread. Even the bigger the sesame and green beans, the more common the phenomenon, the more common it is. A street director was a local emperor, saying that any boy girl in your family would be sent down, and saying that you can't join the army and go to college, that's not a joke at all. To do something with them, it would be difficult to do something ugly. In short, they would also "reasonably" get benefits, but this benefit was not the later big deal of hundreds of thousands, millions and tens of millions, which might be a piece of cloth, a box of cigarettes or a few kilograms of meat.

Anyway, if you want to put it bluntly, there will be selfishness in places with interests, and you should never expect everyone to be fair and honest, especially bureaucrats. They are in power, so it is too easy to become bad.

Let me put it this way, even if Li Xiaofeng is an immortal, it cannot solve the problem of human hearts. Not everyone can always stick to their ideals and beliefs. More people, like ordinary people, have seven emotions, six desires, three aunts and six uncles, and have human feelings that cannot be escaped.

It is unrealistic to expect that everyone will become Derzhinsky through education and indoctrination. Derzhinsky is always a minority in this world, and more are ordinary people who are good at taking advantage of loopholes. Therefore, if you want to solve real problems by relying on your ideals, it is equivalent to drawing a cake to satisfy your hunger.

Li Xiaofeng is definitely not an idealist, so he is very clear that the privileged class cannot be eradicated for the time being. What he can do is to limit the privileges of the privileged class to a reasonable range so as not to have a huge gap between the rich and the poor, leading to increasing hatred and dissatisfaction.

So what Li Xiaofeng wants to do is not to completely eliminate the privileged class, it is a foolish thing that only pure naive idealists do, and it is thankless. If he really did that, he would probably not be much better than Khrushchev's ending in history, and he would be immediately beaten to the ground by the large and small revolutionary invaders who came together.

What Li Xiaofeng wants to do is to limit the size of the privileged class and the size of the privilege. It is enough to control it within a range that society can tolerate. What's more, there will be motivation only if there is a gap. If the whole country is suffering, it may be that the people's hearts will be dispersed and the country will be out of power.

After clarifying this point, the goal of reform will be established. That is to eliminate the overly large privileged classes and put these unrestrained privileges in a cage. For example, the first is the lifelong system of leading cadres. The second is that leading cadres can go up and down. These two are too bad.

The first one is to give the privileged class an iron rice bowl. Anyway, you will not lose your job anyway. If you don’t do anything, it doesn’t matter how you do things, right? As for the second one, you will only be bigger and bigger, so what are you afraid of? Anyway, you will not lose your black hat if you make a mistake. It is not very convenient to do some power and money transactions.

As the Minister of Organization, Li Xiaofeng has a great say in this regard. Anyway, these two things are implemented in the party first. If the party members are stuck, the Soviet cadre team will be tightened. Since the outbreak of the Patriotic War, Li Xiaofeng and Lu Zutak have taken ruthless measures against the cadre team with the initiation of the Patriotic War. Anyone with a serious bureaucratic atmosphere and who owns a pit and does not shit, as long as you are at their hands, you will definitely lose your official position. Even if your brothers are old revolutionaries, no one dares to say good things to them under the premise of the Patriotic War.

As for the old revolutionary, those who are not capable of doing things will be held accountable. Those who are experienced but have low abilities have also been cleaned up in this war, either retreating to the second line or retirement. In short, those who are capable cannot get on the verge of getting on.

To be honest, there was a lot of pressure at one time. It was only when Li Xiaofeng and Lu Zutak joined forces to withstand it. And I have to thank this war. Under the threat of life and death, no one dared to be careless, and this invisibly reduced considerable resistance.

In short, the purification of the cadre team is effective. Although it has not completely solved the problem, it has truly enriched a group of young cadres who are capable and willing to do practical things to the middle and grassroots level of the Party. Even Lenin and Trotsky were quite satisfied with this.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng knew very well that this did not mean that the reform was successful. To be honest, this is a nonsense reform. Is it okay if the reform has not started yet? What someone really cares about is the economic system, and there is no change in this area. It is not very meaningful.

This is the reform. The previous one only improved the employment system, which is not considered a reform. According to Li Xiaofeng's experience learned from later generations, the planned economy is somewhat useful in the period when the country is poor and down, and can concentrate its efforts to accomplish major tasks, which is conducive to production. However, after this period, its negative effects will explode, becoming more rigid and more out of place.

In Li Xiaofeng's view, 1960 was a watershed for the Soviet Union. Before this year, the planned economy could still maintain and develop, but after that, it could only be considered as one year or more.

Why? This starts with the economic situation of the Soviet Union. Needless to say, it is a poor person after the October Revolution. For more than 20 years after this, the national resources must be concentrated to build, and the superiority of the planned economy can be fully reflected. Without World War II, the Soviet Union should have been able to accumulate initially around 1950.

However, due to the outbreak of World War II, the fierce war swallowed a lot of previous efforts. Including the time required to resume production later and the recession of the world environment, it is very likely that the Soviet Union could not complete this accumulation around 1960.

After that, the problem will begin to break out. What problem? There is a lack of more motivation. In the planned economy, all national economy and people's livelihood in the country depend on plans. How much goods a factory or a company produces depends entirely on the national plan. The state says you produce as much as you produce, and you don't have to worry about selling anything.

Under this system, enterprises and consumer groups are completely disconnected. For enterprises, the state produces whatever the country orders them to produce, lacking the motivation to innovate. For consumer groups, all consumer goods are established and there is no choice at all.

What consequences will this cause are actually very simple, that is, the company does not care about customer feedback at all. Anyway, it is only responsible for the country's plans, and in fact there is no choice for any production company. This is quite dull. If it is a closed economic circle, it is okay to be completely self-sufficient. At worst, you can live your own life behind closed doors.

But no country in the world can be completely self-sufficient. Even the United States and the Soviet Union must import a considerable amount of industrial raw materials and other materials, and there are also a bunch of poor relatives and younger brothers who have to pass on. In fact, these things have to be exchanged with their own products.

The planned economy system is difficult to cope with the competition from other countries, and it is difficult to fight against the market economy of other opponents by relying solely on the national coordinated plan. After all, the latter is more flexible and more facing the consumer market. The result is that either close the door and live a small life, or they can only rely on exporting primary raw materials to be exploited.

Let’s take a look at the franchise countries (including Russia) after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Because of the lack of competitiveness in the industry, it quickly faded from the international market. As the old enterprises in the Soviet era were finished one by one, they passively completed the path of deindustrialization. In the end, they all fell to living by selling oil.

Why does this happen? You should know that heavy industry in the Soviet era was still quite awesome. How could it be completely destroyed in the blink of an eye? To put it bluntly, planning and reality are out of touch. The planned economy in the Soviet era was actually a closed market. When there was no external competition, it could still dominate the socialist circle. Once the Soviet Union itself disappeared, it could not maintain this economic circle. If most of the market was lost, it would naturally be ruined.

What's more, the planned economy of the Soviet Union was the economic situation where the state dominated everything. To put it bluntly, the people at the core of a country decided everything. Their will represents everything. And we all know that people will make mistakes. Once there is a problem with the decisions of these people, the entire national economy and people's livelihood will be affected. Everything depends on the personal will of the supreme leader. He said that as much crude oil, coal and steel should be produced, even if it is unreasonable, it has to do so.

In addition, during the Cold War, in order to deal with the threat from NATO, the Soviet Union expanded its army wildly, which squeezed out a large share of the plan. Then, a large number of brothers who were looking for the big brother to fight Qiufeng, the final result was that the Soviet Union's plan was completely unrealistic. As a result, investment in the field of people's livelihood basically stagnated in the mid-1960s, and naturally it turned out to be polio, and it would be strange if it did not collapse.

To change all this, the point is very simple, that is, to clarify the future development goals of the Soviet Union. To be honest, the Soviet leaders are simply a mess of this issue. From their logic, the United States is an evil enemy, and the enemy will definitely be undead. Therefore, to ensure the survival of the Soviet Union, you must fight against the United States at all costs, and don’t have the finger against Yankees in all areas, either you die or I die.

From a long-term perspective, this idea is correct. The Soviet Union and the United States did have irreconcilable contradictions, and they were indeed dead. Later, the United States empire gave the Russians a peaceful evolution? However, the leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union ignored one thing that the Soviet Union's national security was actually guaranteed. Whether it was the Five Constant People or the world's largest nuclear power, it was impossible for the United States to eliminate the Soviet Union through military means. The urgency of its national security was actually not that strong.

To the Soviet Union, it would be no problem to maintain a strategic defensive posture and maintain a more reasonable military force and continue to stalemate. What was strange was that it was completely aimed at fighting for hegemony with the US imperialists, and what was even more strange was that this kind of hegemony actually did not benefit the Soviet Union's national interests.

To briefly analyze, as a country with extremely rich resources, the Soviet Union almost did not need much raw materials from other countries. It was not as dependent on the supply of colonies as Britain. As a basically closed economic circle, it did not need any overseas market to dump goods, which determined that it did not need to pay too much attention to maritime interests or even compete for maritime rights.

In this case, the Soviet Union did not have any irreconcilable contradictions for capitalist countries such as Britain and the United States that made the scissors gap. If there was a contradiction, it was also from *************, and it was entirely based on the theoretical concept of the World Revolution. But to be honest, is this really good for the Soviet Union?

Supporting poor brothers to make a revolution can certainly expand territory and geographical influence, so that the Soviet Union will no longer be isolated. However, it is a completely lose money in economic terms. The Soviet Union hardly needs primary industrial raw materials from these poor brothers' families, but instead has to provide support continuously. This is a profit of face and loss of money.

These poor brothers are more important to extroverted economies such as Britain and the United States. The Soviet Union lost money and had to cut off the wealth route. You said they could tolerate it.

In short, the Soviet Union paid too much unnecessary price for the title of this big brother, from the perspective of national interests. After the victory of World War II, the Soviet Union's national security environment had been greatly improved. Most of Europe was under their sphere of influence, and its strategic depth was almost pushed to the doorstep of Britain and the United States. At this time, it should be the right way to stabilize the chassis of this new "conquest". Anyway, Western Europe is already a dead dog, and it is basically impossible to take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union. So what will it force them to the United States to do?

The appetite is as big as the meal, the Soviet Union's gastrointestinal function was actually overloaded after the victory of World War II. At this time, it was too ugly to stuff food into the throat without caring about it, and it would also cause indigestion.

In Li Xiaofeng's opinion, the Soviet Union should stop and take two tablets of stomach-enhancing and digestion tablets to eliminate digestion is serious... (To be continued.)
