I am not a reformer. I think there is entirely too much attempt at reforming in the world and that we pay too much attention to reformers. We have two kinds of reformers. Both are nuisances. The man who calls himself a reformer wants to smash things. He is the sort of man who would tear up a whole shirt because the collar button did not fit the buttonhole. It would never occur to him to enlarge the buttonhole. This sort of reformer never under any circumstances knows what he is doing. Experience and reform do not go together. A reformer cannot keep his zeal at white heat in the presence of a fact. He must discard all facts.
Since 1914 a great many persons have received brand-new intellectual outfits. Many are beginning to think for the first time. They opened their eyes and realized that they were in the world. Then, with a thrill of independence, they realized that they could look at the world critically. They did so and found it faulty. The intoxication of assuming the masterful position of a critic of the social system--which it is every man's right to assume--is unbalancing at first. The very young critic is very much unbalanced. He is strongly in favor of wiping out the old order and starting a new one. They actually managed to start a new world in Russia.
It is there that the work of the world makers can best be studied. We learn from Russia that it is the minority and not the majority who determine destructive action. We learn also that while men may decree social laws in conflict with natural laws, Nature vetoes those laws more ruthlessly than did the Czars. Nature has vetoed the whole Soviet Republic. For it sought to deny nature. It denied above all else the right to the fruits of labor. Some people say, "Russia will have to go to work," but that does not describe the case. The fact is that poor Russia is at work, but her work counts for nothing. It is not free work. In the United States a workman works eight hours a day; in Russia, he works twelve to fourteen. In the United States, if a workman wishes to lay off a day or a week, and is able to afford it, there is nothing to prevent him. In Russia, under Sovietism, the workman goes to work whether he wants to or not. The freedom of the citizen has disappeared in the discipline of a prison-like monotony in which all are treated alike. That is slavery. Freedom is the right to work a decent length of time and to get a decent living for doing so; to be able to arrange the little personal details of one's own life. It is the aggregate of these and many other items of freedom which makes up the great idealistic Freedom. The minor forms of Freedom lubricate the everyday life of all of us.

最近看冯兄介绍马克思和恩格斯20多岁的时候的著作,对他们下笔千言、一挥而就的才华非常佩服。
而且他们两个人那个互相佩服啊,简直是比亲兄弟还亲,
要把他们比喻成给人类做羽衣的裁缝,那真是比历史上最快的裁缝高手还快,
都认为对方和自己那就是当世的天才,不三人选。
但是,他们快是够快,不知道怎么回事儿,最后把自己缝到被子里了。被城管教训,让回家写检查。
他们的论证,到底在哪里形成了梅比乌斯环了呢。。。?
怎么回事儿,挖呀挖,缝啊缝,怎么最后就把自己缝进去了呢?
弟子还说呢,这社会难道不是你们设计的吗?按你们的思路设计的社会,就是要管制你们这类喜欢胡思乱想的人的!你求仁得仁吧!
=========
两类人:1. 自己设计的社会自己还愿意回来住。如华盛顿,杰佛逊的美国。2. 自己设计的社会,自己没法住,大概也不愿意回来住。如马克思恩格斯

华盛顿、杰弗逊、麦迪逊他们设计的是真实的生活,真实的社会架构;
而不是马克思、恩格斯俩青年幻想的社会和抽象的生活。
计的。
就像招工的,no experience。他俩真的没有社会运行、管理经验。那都是吹牛啊,我们可以搞个非常好机器。
真的和美国那些州长、议员们在一起开会不一样。。。
======
感觉马恩的一个陷阱大概在于:如果一群人“只要感到”自己有道理,就可以暴力革命。那他们形成的社会一定是暴力、高压的。
他们自杀的理由就是,我们对运动已经没用了。所以就该死了。列宁还说,这是对的。
刘少奇的螺丝钉、驯服工具理论大概也是这么来的。
其实这大概可说是一种错误的宗教情结,也可说是邪教。
像他们说得那些话,到底啥意思,可能也只是俩人说得口滑
【共产党人不是同其他工人政党相对立的特殊政党。他们没有任何同整个无产阶级的利益不同的利益】
这到底啥意思,现在人还天天背诵。我敢说他俩人都不知道自己在说啥。
---
引申一下,马克思身上有强烈的宗教需求,只是他找不到正确的路,就用一种错误的方法来释放。
也更正确。就是承认有些东西我们管不了,也正好不必管。留给个人自己和老天爷管。不越俎代庖,不试图充当老天爷
让他说清楚(他死了没法说,我试图弄清楚),他说一个事儿的时候,自己知不知道到底是啥意思。什么是完全解放
人是人,逃不过人的本性,七情六欲,尤其是贪,所谓的他们的弟子,其实都没有真正理会他们的真意,而是断章取义,所以到头来他们自己也不被自己的随从接受了?
种,只是说“旧社会不好,要砸烂!”,新社会咋设计,没概念。看到当年亨利福特对那些革命者的描述:
I am not a reformer. I think there is entirely too much attempt at reforming in the world and that we pay too much attention to reformers. We have two kinds of reformers. Both are nuisances. The man who calls himself a reformer wants to smash things. He is the sort of man who would tear up a whole shirt because the collar button did not fit the buttonhole.

所以,最后就是谁有权,谁就是最完美的。而且,为了证明自己完美,那必须一直有权。有权,就代表你是真理的化身了。
洪秀全是读了一本书,然后附体,马克思、恩格斯是读了好几本书,绕的路远一点,然后附体,觉得自己是真理、正义的化身了。
不过,我倾向于相信有完人,如基督或别的人。但完人不应该是那么血腥、强迫的做法。马恩他俩那个论断中,已经认定自己是真理的化身了,所以就有“使用血腥暴力推翻现政府、使用暴力管理新政府,的正当性”(为啥就这么所以了?)。

这一代大陆出来的华人,我想在信仰方面都是成年以后自己的选择,其最直接的后果是难免认为自己的选择高于其他也就是高于他人。你自己也不过用一个包包来比喻,也说不过是知识,其实知识这件事本身是有时间性的,你不会不知道几百年几千年前的知识很多时候放在今天是什么状态。
所以在我看来一味强调自己的信仰如何如何是很rude 的行为,因为你在暗示别人不如何如何,那必然会招致很多反感。所以我说你自己不在乎就好。当然我是依常理推测你完全可以有自己的判断然后决定自己的行为。
人要当神。

初中升高中我们有个全市统考,发下语文卷子看见作文题目就是我做过的,完全一样。那个作文还是老师用来给大家当成范文念的。按说一般人就会很高兴,誊一遍得个高分了事儿。
我相反,看见题目突然很恼火,感到自己这到底是在干啥呢?难道就是被老师领着像猴子一样表演跳圈吗?死活就是不想写了。最后瞎写一段了事。
我就是想搞清楚,这所有的一切,到底是在干啥。
=======
而我最近的重点,是在避免这种排斥,试图把生活和生死集成起来。
--------
当然,很多人对此不感兴趣,也是正常。我在逐渐接受这个事实。。。
【《共产党宣言》鲜明地指出:“共产党人不是同其他工人政党相对立的特殊政党。他们没有任何同整个无产阶级的利益不同的利益。”】
俩人到底想说啥呀。。。呵呵
谁要是阻挡历史的车轮---那是马克思、恩格斯、列宁同志的新上帝---他们就跟人拼命,说这个是叛徒,那个是叛徒。
就要代表我心中的上帝---或者干脆自己直接是上帝---对你做最终的审判!
马克思的女儿和女婿,惊恐地(或许吧?)发现自己对推动历史的车轮已经没有价值了,就去自杀了。
弗拉基米尔·列宁 (Vladimir Lenin) 作为俄罗斯社会民主工党的代表在葬礼上发言,[10]后来告诉他的妻子娜杰日达·克鲁普斯卡娅 (Nadezhda Krupskaya):[11]
就像文革和纳粹,大规模爆发。甚至有些宗教战争。
那,这到底是个什么心理结构和需求?平常不显,一旦条件合适,就开始人传人,大规模爆发?
应该说,是跟人生的意义有关。
我理解,就是人都有某种永生的追求,但是个人的肉体生命就是短暂脆弱,所以一定要找别的、更持久的东西。
这里有不同的出路。有正解,有错解。(天无绝人之路,一定是有正解的。但并不是一摸,就摸到正解正路的)
其中一种出路就是,把某个比自己更大的集体、种族,当成依附的对象。“贴上去、粘上去”让自己产生同一体的感觉,感到更持久真实的价值和意义。这个出口,大概就是各种宗教狂热的基础。不管这人是马克思、列宁还是希特勒,看上去理性、逻辑、能说理,其实那非理性需求部分都是一样,在寻找依附体。这种需求让希特勒和列宁带着脑袋中的幻相,跳到台上唾沫横飞,要跟历史结合、合一。
可惜这种路并不可靠,可以说不真正解决问题,但是又是最接近日常感觉的、能直接抓过来用的东西。这种集体无意识传染病爆发起来传播很快。比迪厅的摇头丸还快。伟大领袖传染上了,也都不敢离开那个“集体”,怕自己人生的意义就立即、直接消失了。
个人认识:就正解来说,我这些年一直试图确认的,人生的意义,可靠的锚,应该还是在个人内心更深层,超越这层动荡的潜意识,之下,才有真正的永恒实相。
我从来没看过哲学书,要是问的太幼稚了,请多包涵。 真的不懂
都要回到个体的经验
不像黑格尔那种,说不清、也无法下手验证的东西?什么历史使命,历史唯物主义等等。
到了今天,流派很多, 每个人都在找到适合自己的那个点
这是个很重要的东西。当年有一个“控制论心理学,psycho-cybernetics" 非常不错。
Atomic habits 把self-image和Habits 集成起来,很不错。
=========
我面临的是在内心集成佛教和心理学,让他们各自的需求在我内心互相协调。这本书正好有帮助。
心理学帮助人安排、调节、处理“相”,各种现象;而佛法的核心是要“见性”。
相,大家天天见,天天安排、调整。而性-佛性,这类的事情,大概这个作者或一般心理学家也不懂了。:)
这一点。
这典型的就是,如果我不喜欢圣诞快乐。哪怕别人已经说了几百年了。
今天“取消文化的革命党人”来了,说,我听着“圣诞快乐”不舒服,您是否以后就不要说了。
他们不知道自己也是很rude的。他们是试图用自己的有限封闭的世界观把别人都装进去。呵呵,也挺好挺厉害的
