Thanks the cybermates for explaining the meaning of Atlas shrugged. I know Ancient Greek Mythology has been translated into Ch____se long before. But my shortcoming is that I don't like reading literary works. When I was a child, my mother asked me to read hong lou meng (Dream of the Red Chamber) or something, I found it very boring. In fact, I like watching movies. I like the visual sense.
"Si_x.ia.n.g zh.e.n.g_zhi" is very excruciating indeed. At the information age, it becomes more and more important to b(u)r()e()au()cr()ats. Because it is the only tool used for resisting the widespread "bourgeois" ide.o.log.i.es brought by Hollywood and in_ter-ne-t. The content of the curriculum of "si_xi.a.n.g zh.en.g_z.hi" become more and more. I don't know the cases in the past because I was born in 1980s. I just take the college "si_x.i.a.ng zh.en.g_zhi" curriculum in recent years for example. Two years ago, what students studied are M'ist Philosophy, M'ist Political Economics, M¡ªa---o XX Thought, D---e-n----g XX Theory and "Situation and Policies". And now, Core River's "3 R.e.p.r.e--s.e--n.t.s" has been listed in the curriculum. It can be reasonably anticipated that the p.o.l.i.t.i.c.al theories students have to learn will become more and more, because every Boss wants to become a spiritual leader.
But no matter what they preach, I have no longer believed M'ism any more. In fact I had not believed in c.o.m=m-u-n--i-s-m before I went to primary school. But I couldn't tell its fault then. When I was in middle school, I myself found a "fatal flaw" in M'ism. (I don't know whether it is really a flaw. But I have ruminated over this.) M.a.r.x's labor theory of value is a kind of "objective value theory". The value of a product is determined by the time to produce it. The value has nothing to do with our evaluation. Since the value is very "objective", the author should give us the quantitive equation and explain the mechanism of this kind of "determination". At least the author should give us a direct equation like "___ hours = ____ dollars". But I found M'ism never gives us this kind of equation. What it gives us is always "Suppose": "Suppose the necessary working time is ___ ", or "Suppose the surplus working time is ___ ". The conclusion that employers exploit employees is entirely founded on these "suppose"s. I once asked my "si_x.i.a.ng z.h.e.n.g_zhi" teacher to give me the equation "___ hours = ____ dollars", but she could not answer directly and said "it is determined by many factors in that moment" instead. But the factors can also be included into the equation. So I know " determined by many factors " is just a subterfuge. Since the root of M'ism is decisively wrong, I of course cannot believe its corollaries. I think I would not believe M'ism, until the M'ists correctly resolved the equation "___ hours = ____ dollars", but I think no such day would exist. But it is a pity that many students still don't know this fatal flaw of M'ism.
