Assessment
of the Ideals and Opportunism of the Chinese Communists
--
Wei Jingsheng
There
are two most common descriptions of the ideals of the Chinese Communists. One comes from Communist Party's own
Marxist-Leninist propaganda, with examples as "to serve the people",
and so on. Now no one believes the
Party follows these ideals.
Another description is to completely deny communism and consider it an
evil faith. About the Chinese
Communist Party, this latter description is correct. That is because its practice in the past six decades has
proven this conclusion. But about
various Communist Party members, this conclusion may have some bias. The "quit the Communist
Party" movement initiated by the Falun Gong practitioners has proven that
the ideal of many communist members, or at least their original intention, was
not the one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party. So these members have the motivation to
quit the Communist Party now.
Moreover,
the behavior of many communists in the past decades has proven that a large
fraction uses the ideals of the Communist Party for speculation. In fact, it does not matter to them who
believes it or not, they merely treat it as a sheep's head while selling dog's
meat, as a disguise to lie.
For
example, people agree that the Chongqing model that is being debated recently
is a tool for power struggle. Both
sides of commentators do not believe that model as an expression of the ideal,
but it is only used for speculation.
It is just as in 1949 when the Communist Party won its victory, it used
some small favors of robbing the rich to help the poor in an effort to gain the
support of the deceived people. Of
course, now they are dealing with the people who were already cheated
once. This time the effect is greatly
discounted. Especially noticeable
is that there isn't a group of passionate young people ready to sacrifice their
lives for it. Chongqing's
"sing praises for the red and hit the black society" movement was
totally driven by the interests of high salary. Once the interests were damaged, there was immediate
betrayal. This betrayal did not
happen to the communists in the Party's early days. Then, people stayed loyal to the Party even when they were
met by the injustice of the Party.
Why
were there so many people who would sacrifice their lives for the Communist
Party a few decades ago, yet there are not any now? We need to know that from the beginning, what the Party used
to cheat for trust. Without
statistics data, we know that the ideal of most people who joined the Communist
Party then was for the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the
country. It was due to their anger
against social injustice and yearning for freedom and equality. This inherently human nature will
inevitably produce ideals like that.
People in any culture and any country will naturally produce these
ideals. The publicly announced
ideals of the Communist Party were precisely these, so there were many people
willing to shed blood for and sacrifice their lives for this ideal.
But
the Chinese Communist Party is a political party with great deception: its
actions do not match its words. It
is also a Mafia-style political party.
It is deceptive because its real political guiding principles do not
match the ideals it propagates, but instead are precisely contrary. Its political guiding principles are to
create an autocratic political system and to concentrate the wealth of the
whole society into the hands of a few, and then rely on those people to operate
in this system to create a free, equal and happy communist society.
When
such an extreme and beautiful scene was accompanied with sensational
propaganda, it was like any advertisements now that are able to attract the
"deceived masses". Back
then, whether in Russia or China, there were a lot of people were taken
in. Especially as the premise of
this authoritarian regime had not become a reality, people who opposed it could
not use facts to convince the masses who were blinded. So there were a lot of passionate young
people willing to sacrifice their lives for this beautiful ideal. There was the opportunity for the
Communist Party to take governing power.
All
of the communist regimes were produced during the period after World War I to
after World War II. Now, China and
several other Communist states in Asia may be the last holdouts. Beginning in the 1950s, the reality of
the communist dictatorship gradually became known over the world, and the
likely deceivable masses became fewer and fewer. The opportunity to seize the governing power in a country by
deceiving some people is smaller and smaller. This awareness is the root reason that the last Marxist
revolutionary leader Che Guevara died in a siege of the masses.
There
is no shortage of speculators in any revolution or movement. In this movement where the ideal is
exactly the opposite of its guiding principles, the role of speculators becomes
very important. They see it as a
scam very clearly from the beginning and their level of using the fraud is
often higher than that of the bigots.
Especially after a movement seized power, almost without exception
speculators usurped the leadership.
The reason that this usurpation is without exception is because the
so-claimed social model of communism cannot exist in reality. What can exist in the name of communism
is a modified version of the feudal social model, which is not the model
identified by the passionate but deceived youth.
Thus,
the idealists had to be purged in order to adapt to reality and continue the
regime's operation. This process
was more prominent in Russia.
After the revolution, as the devout communists were purged, the deceived
masses were purged in large numbers as well. Only the opportunists such as Stalin and Khrushchev could
lead this system to continue on its path.
China's
situation is somewhat similar to Russia's. Peng Dehuai, Liu Shaoqi, Lin Biao, and a group of communists
who insisted on their ideals against the guiding principles of the Chinese
Communist Party were purged gradually.
The middle and lower idealistic cadres were also purged. The communist cadres who pleaded for
the people shared a common characteristic. It was not because they did not believe in communism, but
they were more inclined to lean toward their ideals when there was a
contradiction between the ideal and the Party, and to lean in favor of people
emotionally. Those people
remaining after the purges were either bigots whose stubbornness overcame their
emotion, or opportunists who participated in the movement for personal
interests from the start. Only
these two kinds of people can adapt to the communist regime and to adapt to the
reality when slogans and reality are in contrary.
After
decades of practice, all the Chinese people have seen the essence of the
communist regime. People who once
sincerely believed in communism have been cleaned out by the reality of the
Communist Party and constant purges.
So anyone still uses Communist propaganda of "singing praises for
red" and "hitting the black society" as a way to bribe people's
hearts can only be careerists who struggle for power and wealth, instead of
politicians who are fighting for people's happiness. The "new leftists", as one of political forces in
China, are precisely the "deceived masses".
Alternatively,
many of them are also "conspirators" trying "to use the red
flags to go against red flags".
On the road to overthrowing one-party dictatorship and establishing a
people's democracy there will be their share of credit as well. They are not the same people as the
opportunists who are manipulating that "sing praises for the red and hit
the black society" movement.

评中国共产党人的理想和投机
-- 魏京生
最常见的对中国共产党人的理想的描述有两种。一种是中共自己的宣传，什么马列主义呀,为人民服务呀,等等。这个现在已经没有人相信了。还有一种就是全面否定， 认为是罪恶的信仰。这个评论对共产党来说是正确的。因为六十年来的实践证明了这个结论。对共产党人来说就有失偏颇了。法轮功人士发动的退党运动，证明了很多共产党人的理想，或者说初衷，并不是共产党的一党专政。所以他们才会有退出共产党的动机。
而且，几十年来很多共产党人的行为，证明了有很大一部分共产党人对待共产党的理想是投机式的利用。其实无所谓信不信，只不过当作了挂羊头卖狗肉的那个羊头，是用来骗人的。
例如，最近经常被人们议论的重庆模式，就被一致认为是争权夺利的工具。正反两面的评论者都不认为是什么理想的表达，一致认为仅仅不过是一种投机而已。和共产党赢得1949年的胜利一样，附带了一些杀富济贫的小恩小惠，以此来获得“被蒙蔽的群众”的支持。当然，面对被欺骗过一次的人民，这一次的效果大打折扣，特别明显的是没有一批热血青年为它卖命了。重庆的唱红打黑完全是被高薪聘请的利益所驱动。一旦利益受损，马上就翻脸不认人。这不像早期的共产党人，受了冤屈还要为党卖命。
为什么几十年前会有那么多的人为共产党卖命，而如今却没有了呢？这要从当年的共产党用什么东西骗取信任谈起。不用统计就可以知道，当年加入共产党的大多数人的理想，是国家富强人民幸福。那是对社会不公的愤怒，和对自由平等的向往。这些本来就是人性必然产生的理想。任何国家任何文化中的人，自然而然就会产生这些理想。共产党公开宣布的理想正是这些内容，所以有那么多人愿意为了这个理想而抛头颅洒热血。
但是共产党是一个言行不一致的，带有很大欺骗性的政党。而且它是个帮会形式的政治党派。说它有欺骗性，是因为它的真正的政治纲领，和它宣称的理想并不吻合，恰恰是背道而驰。它的政治纲领是创造一个独裁专制的政治体制，并且把全社会的财富都集中在一小撮人的手中，然后依靠这个体制的运作去创造一个自由平等和幸福的社会。
当这种极端美好的场景再配合着煽情的宣传鼓动，那就像现在的广告一样很能吸引“被蒙蔽的群众”。无论在当年的俄罗斯还是中国，都会有很多人被它所忽悠。特别是在这种专制体制没有成为事实的前提下，反对它的人们无法用事实来说服那些被蒙蔽的群众。所以就有很多的热血青年愿意为了美好的理想卖命。所以就有了共产党夺取政权的机会。
在第一次世界大战之后到第二次世界大战之后，所有的共产党政权都产生于这个时期。现在，中国和亚洲的几个共产党政权可能是最后的一批共产党政权了。因为从五十年代开始，共产党专制的现实逐渐被全世界所了解，可能被蒙蔽的群众就越来越少。在一个国家内依靠蒙蔽一部分人民而夺取政权的机会也越来越小。这就是最后一个革命领袖格瓦拉死于人民群众的围剿的根本原因。
任何一场革命或者运动都不缺乏投机者。在这场理想和纲领完全相反的运动中，投机者的作用就变得十分重要。他们从一开始就对骗局看得很清楚，利用骗局的水平往往高于执迷不悟者。特别是当这场运动夺取了政权之后，领导权几乎无一例外地被这些投机者所篡夺。无一例外的原因，是因为共产主义所宣称的社会模式在现实中不可能存在。能使共产主义作为一种模式存在的，必然是修正过的封建社会模式，而不可能是热血青年们认定的模式。
于是，理想主义者们不得不被清洗，以便适应现实，使政权能够运作下去。这个过程在俄国表现得更为突出。革命后，随着虔诚的共产主义者被清洗，被蒙蔽的群众也大批遭到清洗。能领导这个体制运作下去的，只能是斯大林、赫鲁晓夫这样的投机者。
中国的情况大同小异。彭德怀、刘少奇、林彪等等坚持理想而违背纲领的共产党人逐渐被清洗。中下层干部中被清洗的也都是这种人。所谓的为民请命的人，他们的共同特点不是不信仰共产主义，而是在理想和现实产生矛盾时更倾向于理想，在感情上更倾向于老百姓。清洗后剩下的，或者是执迷不悟胜过感情的人，或者本来就是为个人目的参加运动的投机者。只有这两种人可以适应共产党政权，适应口号和现实相反的现实。
经过几十年的实践，所有中国人都已经看清了共产党政权的实质，真诚信仰共产主义的人已经被共产党的现实和不断的清洗消灭干净了。现在还把共产主义的宣传唱
红，用打黑来实行共产、收买民心的，只能是争权夺利的野心家，不可能是为了人民的幸福而奋斗的政治家。而目前国内政治势力之一的“新左派”，恰恰就是“被蒙蔽的群众”。
或者，其中很多人也是打着红旗反红旗的阴谋家。那么在推翻一党专政，建立人民民主的道路上也会有他们的一份功劳。他们和操纵唱红打黑的投机分子还不是一回事。
