制度为先，行动为要：变革中国的现实路径

Recently, I have seen the “determinism debate” again, what institutional determinism, cultural determinism, faith determinism ...... Looking back, you can also see climate determinism, dietary determinism, and even ethnographic determinism.... ...

But what's there to get hung up on?

Each superstructure has a role to play, each makes decisions on its own turf, some things are institutionally determined, some things are culturally determined, some things are faith-based ...... Isn't that common sense?

If one element can fully determine the entire ecology, or play some imaginary role similar to that of Xi Jinping's, then what is the point of having other elements?

Abolishing the Internet wall, abolishing sensitive words, abolishing all censorship of speech on all platforms ...... can be done by seizing power and changing the system, because it's administrative and doesn't have to wait for a slow change in the whole culture or beliefs.

By the same token, the dissolution and banning of the CCP, the formulation of a new constitution, the nationalization of the military, the independence of the judiciary, the liberalization of the press, the disclosure of officials' assets, the establishment of a two-party or multi-party electoral system ...... are just a few examples of the many systemic changes that will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the social ecology of society as a whole, and which have been proved to be necessary by Western civilization. In the areas where they will have an impact, of course, it is the system that determines the outcome.

Some people say that the Chinese people that urine can not, what system to China have to go out of shape, have to transform the entire culture to change the beliefs of the people can not.

The question is, how do you do that?

First of all, if you don't overthrow the CCP's party-state system, you can't do anything, whether it's your culture or your beliefs, you can't move halfway, so what can you do? What can you do? Can you promote a new culture overseas and spread the gospel of Christ to reform overseas Chinese and then pour it back to the mainland? That's impossible. Not to mention pouring in, the faith warriors that the CCP cultivates in minutes are enough to drown you. In the end, you realize that you still have to overthrow the party-state system first.

Secondly, even if the party-state system collapses and China enters a period of democracy building, you have to change the cultural beliefs of the Chinese people, or the same thing: how do you do it?

Surely you can't rely on piecemeal ad hoc initiatives for such a big project? If any method works well, don't you have to find a way to fix it to work continuously and stably? Is the process of fixing it an institutionalization?

In the end, you still have to rely on institutionalized means to transform culture and change beliefs.

Of course, when I say this, I'm not saying that the system determines everything, although change often has to be effected through the means of the system, but in their respective fields, the means do not represent the determining factor. In the realm of cultural influence, of course, culture determines, even if institutional means have to be used. The same is true in the area of faith.

In order for the constitutional system to operate smoothly, it is not enough just to put up the framework, but of course, it requires the public to have a good support and cooperation in terms of civic awareness, civic qualities, and even cultural heritage, values and beliefs. These areas even if also designed a good system to transform, such as the establishment of modern civic education, but still need a long process, need to build a new cultural beliefs to a certain extent, and then only in their respective fields to begin to play a decisive role.

But isn't it a bit too early to discuss all this, or even to argue about it? A bit of a waste of time even? It's a bit like arguing over whether to cook or roast the geese before they're even shot down.

The first step, the overthrow of the CCP, is not even complete yet gentlemen!

This step is essentially an act of war, so can you gentlemen and ladies put aside a little elegance and actually get into a state of war?

Isn't the most important thing we should be discussing how to effectively launch sabotage operations and destroy all the valuable targets that support the party-state?

What we lack is not a modest showman, but a corrective military man.

It's certainly best to be both civil and military. Take off the suit and put on camouflage. If you can write and fight, you're a great scholar.
