Joe Bageant : Cars fed on corn, people fed on horseshit
Joe是我比较喜欢的一个左派作家。并不是他的想法我都同意,而是他的写作风格有一种东北人的豪爽劲,而且文学功底也很深厚。而且还是个酒鬼。
他在这封回读者的信当中提到了中国。
People being people though, Chinese folks fresh from the farm and working 70 hours a week so they can save up for a microwave or something, declare it to be now the best system in the world. Just like Americans do. And the workers watch the "emergence of China's dynamic new middle class," consisting mostly of state educated city folks trained in newer, more sophisticated ways to work the peasantry to death, so the middle class can buy a three hundred square foot apartments and cars. Janked on nationalism, patriotism takes hold and they all say to one another: "Is this a great country or what?" I would further add that China is by no means more advanced because it executes more "criminals" (Stalin would have loved your definition of advanced Bubba!) than the US. Given that China has one and a third billion people. I would be curious to see if per capita executions exceed the US. Maybe it does. However, a high execution rate is a curious standard by which to judge the success of a civilization.
虽然用词很不客气,但是还应该说是一针见血。
我想找一些建国至毛过世后的经济发展数据(识字率,平均寿命,经济硬指标等),不知那位兄台手中有整理好的数据,或则能够指点一下何处可以找到?不胜感激。
