Moon Society
"Moon Society? What's the matter?" The word hadn't appeared in front of Jack for a long time, and he thought about it before recalling it.
Jimmy is a few years older than Jack, in his early thirties, and is the oldest in the special forces. His ideas are also more traditional. He believes that the Moon Society will be such an organization with a large number of people and great influence . If you can't control it in your own hands, it should be banned.
This is also a manifestation of their inexperience in governing at the beginning. The Moon Society was founded by Calvin, and its original intention was to promote ghostly things like "Earth Explosion, Son of God". Now he himself has been arrested, and this organization didn't promote any negative content, so everyone didn't take it seriously.
But now, more and more people are joining the Moon Society, one thousand, two thousand, even five thousand, ten thousand! Jimmy, who was in charge of the security of the base, finally felt that something was wrong. The more people there were, the greater the influence would be. If a new political force really formed, it might overthrow the current regime!
He did a secret investigation before he was relieved. This organization is still too loose. How to put it, it is equivalent to the core members of the club forming a Whatsapp group in the past few months. Then, people joined this group for some reason. group, and thus became a member of the Moon Society.
The big Whatsapp Company is still powerful, and it has driven the company to the moon. Although the earth is blown up, it does not affect the communication on the moon, and Whatsapp can still be used.
It's as simple as that. There are no member activities, meetings or anything like that. It's all online communication, which is quite a communication group. Forming a new political force is impossible in the short term.
But Jimmy was still worried. He went undercover and continued to investigate, feeling more and more strange in his heart. The people inside were actually cultivating personality crazily, and the object of worship was their captain, Jack...
"Look at this novel. I don't know who wrote it. It's called "Under the Starry Sky". It's still serialized." Jimmy sent an email to Jack's cell phone.
Jack clicked on it, and the content was that after the earth exploded, the last tens of thousands of human beings lingered on the moon, and then rose strongly under the leadership of the protagonist. It is very popular, especially when the main character still has a bit of himself.
In this way, more and more people have fallen into a kind of fanatical worship, believing that Jack is like the protagonist of the story, leading mankind to a god-level civilization...
For this phenomenon, Jack really couldn't laugh or cry, what is it and what is it, it is so inexplicable, he has no experience in dealing with this.
"Captain, look, it's working hours now, and there's not much to talk about in the group. At night, there's a whole bunch of people, both men and women." Jimmy paused, "How should I put it, pray, pray ...and blind dates, well, I don't know how to say this."
"Anyway, I think that this group of people must be your staunch supporters. It is good for your governance. They will definitely implement your policies unswervingly. But this kind of behavior is a bit too much... I faintly I'm a little uneasy, but I can't explain why..."
Jimmy frowned and said, he is a pure soldier, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand why, he could only blame himself for his low level of education.
Jack pondered for a while, then slowly said: "According to what you said, they must have completely sanctified me, thinking that I am perfect, what I do must be right, and no one can tolerate any objections. In this way, On the contrary, it will cause division and confrontation among the masses!"
"On the other hand, if I do something wrong in the future and I am not perfect in their eyes, it can cause a collapse of faith, and then I will be in trouble!"
"That's right, Captain, you hit the nail on the head!" Jimmy said happily, "Then, how about just banning this group?"
"That's no good, you're too rude! And the indicators won't cure the root cause." Jack said with a headache, "No, I don't want to be the head of state. Everything is decided by one person, and I don't want to be a dictatorship."
"We have to find a way, and we have to be a little more gentle."
The two racked their brains to think about it. Jimmy is a big soldier, there is no good way at all, Jack can only think depressedly by himself.
It is quite normal for Jack to have a certain amount of reverence for the leader of the base, but it is not so good when it rises to the cult of personality.
The universe is so big, human beings may encounter danger at any time, and the wisdom of all people must be gathered to have a greater chance of survival. But if it continues to develop, no one will dare to oppose him at that time, and he will have the final say on everything, so where is the collective wisdom coming from?
A wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a lot, and a fool may gain a lot if he thinks a lot. It is definitely not possible to be a dictatorship. Jack does not think that he can lead mankind to go on with his own wisdom.
However, the reasons for the cult of personality are very complicated. According to the knowledge in the book, the small-scale peasant economy and the force of small-scale production habits are the main social and economic roots of the cult of personality.
Marx said: Small producers cannot represent themselves, they must be represented by others. Their representative must at the same time be their lord, an authority over them, an unlimited governmental power which protects them from other classes and gives them rain and sunshine from above.
To be honest, the political system in the base is not much different from the monarchy system. Most things are decided by oneself. Jack believes that this is the root cause. Military power is firmly in his own hands, and other powers are also very firmly in control.
Take the Noah plan as an example. Although the plan was determined by scientists, it still had to be approved by Jack in the end. The work that everyone does every day is planned, and he alone has the final say on food and clothing. It can be said that he has absolute power.
With this kind of power, a cult of personality is also a matter of course.
In fact, he is not keen on things like power at all, nor does it make him feel superior to others. On the contrary, these powers keep him busy all day long, wishing to share some of it.
But there is no one to take over! Those who were originally keen on politics and officials were killed by Calvin, and the rest were also cleared up a lot because of the rumors. It is impossible to distribute power to these crooked melons. As for great scientists and great engineers, at this level, they are all extremely focused on their own fields, and they don't care much about politics.
It is also impossible to promote an ordinary worker casually, who is convinced, isn't it a mess? Therefore, everything has to be carried by oneself first, at least until Noah's plan is completed.
Of course, if another political system , it is impossible for him to completely give up power. With an attitude of being responsible to mankind, he does not think that anyone can do better than himself. At such a critical moment where the genocide may be exterminated at any time, if it is completely democratized and intrigues every day, isn't it causing trouble for itself?
"To solve this problem, we must establish a more appropriate political system and a certain economic system." Jack said seriously.
"Ah? Why?" Jimmy was puzzled. How did it get involved in politics and economics?
"You, read more books and learn culture!" Jack explained with a smile, and Jimmy finally understood a little bit.
" Re- elect the leader. Captain, you must be elected with a high number of votes. This is definitely no problem. If you change someone, people in our army will not agree! However, this reform is definitely not possible at this moment. People rely on one breath. Now, once reforms are made, the anger will dissipate!" Jimmy shook his head and said.
"Economic reform doesn't work either. Wouldn't it add to the chaos at this time?"
"Then what should we do?" Jimmy was thinking hard, but he couldn't think of a way. Apart from directly banning that group, what else could he do?
"Hey, let me think about it... You should join that group first, form a small group, hug each other, and use words to enlighten you." Jack actually didn't have a particularly good way, so he could only talk nonsense, "Then, contact that The author of the novel requires him to write the protagonist in a more realistic and humane way, such as stealing a few chicken legs when he is hungry, or picking up two girls... This should be fine..."
"Understood!" Jimmy made a military salute, "But if you scribble like this, someone will abandon the pit, right?"
"Abandoning the pit, isn't our goal achieved? Also, start more blind date activities , we are short of people."
"Okay...Captain, you are awesome..."
