Chapter 112: Nation-States. (1)
The emergence of the Beacon of Freedom is the first opportunity for Western civilization to try large-scale state construction after ancient Rome.
The shadow of this scale naturally hangs over the hearts of those who have seen the Beacon of Freedom.
Belonging was suddenly hit by a huge surprise directly on the forehead, which was a bit blinded.
Some even don't know what to do.
Lacking historical background and previous experience, they can't figure out how to build such a country.
For example, like Thomas, he proposed a plan to use representative system to solve the problem of scale.
Well, the proposal is very good, I suggest not to propose again.
But this can't be blamed on them, they are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they don't have any experience to learn from.
He wants to stitch together small countries one by one in this way.
In the end, the Beacon of Freedom and Da Mao solved the problem through this federal system.
In terms of the national concept, it also pushed the national concept towards nationalism towards federalism.
The problem, however, is that staying within federalism is not enough.
Whether it is a free lighthouse country or Da Mao, they all need to continue to prove that they are the standard of a modern country.
960 is the benchmark, the ideal type of a modern country, the most outstanding appearance.
This is an ideological struggle and an all-round competition.
It is the standard of modern countries.
Therefore, he still needs to use the concept of nation-state.
And most importantly, the concept of a nation-state is of great value to both the Beacon of Freedom and Mao.
For example, those concepts derived from the nation-state.
Self-determination, anti-colonialism, anti-sphere of influence, etc.
He is all conducive to the dismantling of the old colonial empire, to the freedom of the Beacon Country's own "father" Daiying, this filial son, to overthrow the old father and create a new dynasty.
Good for the Free Beacon nations to create their free world empire.
It is also beneficial to Da Mao's world revolution.
But they obviously cannot be satisfied with the stage of nation-state plus federalism.
To put it bluntly, the country is developing too fast, and the ideology can't keep up.
Continuous optimization is required.
What is optimized is naturally not this concept, but a new discourse system.
So there is such a set of rhetoric of freedom and democracy. (ahfd)
Capital has put a lot of effort into this, so there are procedural standards for quietly replacing the nation-state with representative elections.
Replace nation-states with so-called democracies.
But to put it bluntly, it is just changing the soup but not the medicine.
Even the capital also seized the opportunity and began to advance crazily for their privileges.
As a result, a set of national standards that is more narrow and short-sighted and more convenient to operate has emerged.
Then, in order to be able to make this system more international.
They simply and roughly divide those that do not meet the standards, even if you are a democratic country, into labels such as abnormal countries, rogue countries, and terrorism-supporting countries.
Therefore, after World War II, Germany and Japanese pirates are not normal countries even now.
Then, many stubborn ones, like those who have been invaded, those who do not obey their discipline, are disobedient.
All branded as rogue states.
Simple and rude, binary separation, respect for others? Doesn't exist.
He is the overlord of the world, he is the boss of the world.
He can point and point at you, but the fat is inside.
If you don't listen to him, you are wrong, you are backward, you are pedantic.
Just stubborn.
If it's just a small country, it doesn't matter.
But it happens to be a superpower, and it is still a superpower that controls the terrifying international discourse power.
Such a black boss would cause too many problems.
The internal capital's thirst for profit makes such a country directly become the biggest unstable factor in world security.
Therefore, the Western national concept is a non-spatial and even time-consuming abstract national concept gradually evolved in the process of solving space challenges.
Freedom and democracy!
The final evolution of the idea of the nation.
The poison to the world is completely visible to the naked eye.
The concept of nation-state has been turned into a discourse weapon by the West, but they have ignored that the concept of nation-state in Western Europe is actually a special phenomenon in human history.
With the rise of the West, he was endowed with a universality.
A special period, a special product, a special node.
Under various special circumstances, various ancient civilizations were created in order to pursue modernization.
One after another to adopt the concept of nation-state.
No one is standing on the long river of history, all we can do is focus on the present.
If you are weak, you will be beaten.
Even if you have the best things, you often face the naked reality.
Whether it is correct or not is not important anymore.
Naturally, the Dragon Kingdom inevitably needs to go through such a process.
The good thing is that most of the ancient civilizations are of a large scale.
It is not the kind of narrow thinking that takes the nation as a unit.
So if you want to establish a nation-state, you must disintegrate the original civilized area.
On the other hand, if you want to maintain your own original civilization, it will be difficult for you to build the standard nation-state they call.
The West naturally hopes that all large-scale civilizations will disintegrate so that they can divide and conquer.
There is a novel called "Lawrence of Arabia", the author wrote such a sentence in the preface.
In war, language is often a weapon.
This was the case on the battlefields of the Middle East in World War I.
In the simplest case, even if the Allied Powers use the Ottoman Empire, they also use the word Turkey.
But as the war continued, the Allies began to use the term Turkey more and more.
The hidden meaning is that the non-Turkish people in the Ottoman territory need to be liberated and enslaved.
What's this?
This is differentiation.
Naked conspiracy.
From a normal point of view.
Turkey did conquer and enslave other peoples, but the West's emphasis on this is not out of good intentions.
His purpose is very simple, to disintegrate your empire.
Make Türkiye a nation state.
So as to facilitate their own colonial control.
The disintegration of Da Mao later, to some extent, was also like their goal.
Da Mao has become many small countries, independent and independent.
It has become one nation-state after another.
So that the free lighthouse country can control them very well.
The West, on the other hand, has also adopted the same method for Dragon Kingdom. .
