Chapter 25 About the Operation of Supernatural Utopia and Sequenceism II(1/2)
Xia Xiu's answer made the atmosphere of the entire courtyard subtle.
This subtlety is not only reflected in the level of speech, but also like invisible ripples, creating circles of ripples in the air.
Students responded to some intimidating ambitions conveyed by the principal.
At this time, the curly-haired young man, Alaz Trinkas, was sitting quietly at the dining table, and his eyes were unconsciously focused on the two people named by the principal.
The two men, one is the elite Joseph and the other is the calm Tukhachevsky.
As the clerk, he felt a sense of heat spreading from his chest that he had never felt before. It was the activation signal of the automatic secretary, and it seemed that there was some powerful force that forced him to start recording the moment.
Today's record is not as simple as usual.
With the launch of the automatic secretary, the secretary Araz discovered that what appeared before his eyes was an oil painting.
The painting has a unique style, full of linear perspective, giving people a visual depth impact.
The tables, walls, windows and other elements in the painting gradually shrink as the distance of sight changes, and everything is guiding the line of sight to a corner of the picture.
All the lines, all objects, and even those subtle shadows in the painting point to a common vanishing point
——That was exactly where Principal Hugh Abraham was.
In the center of this painting, Xia Xiu sat quietly at the wide wooden table, with a quiet and solemn expression, like a contemplative king.
His eyes were gentle and profound, as if he was seeing through the hearts of every student.
His hand gently reached towards the uncut bread on the table.
On the tabletop, white bread and crimson wine bottles are quietly placed. The smooth tabletop reflects the slight luster on the bottle. The white bread is as white as snow, and the crimson wine bottle is reminiscent of sacrifice and death.
Three hundred students around them sat quietly around the table.
Everyone's expressions are different, either confused, shocked, or uneasy...
The automatic secretary's picture continued to unfold, and Araz felt the acceleration of his heartbeat.
【Created: Dinner in the courtyard--】
He realized that he was recording the changes of an era and the prototype of a great trend of thought.
At this moment, at the dinner in the courtyard, Xia Xiu's answer complicated the expression of Joseph of the Edishites.
At that moment, he did not rush to respond, but lowered his head and fell into silence.
His brows frowned, and his eyes were filled with deep thoughts, as if he was trying to sort out the questions that kept surging in his mind.
He was shocked by the principal's outspoken attitude and felt a vague pressure that could not be ignored.
This pressure did not come from Xia Xiu's own deterrence, but from his deep confusion and unknown to the "nation" represented by Xia Xiu.
In that silence, Joseph, the Adisiian, quickly unfolded.
He lived in an extremely competitive and ruthless environment of the Edish Federal Republic since he was a child. The society was centered on finance and was in a state of distortion and alienation.
Joseph had a question in his mind - that is, if "utopianism" is truly realized, how can we solve this deep-seated problem brought about by financialization and monetization?
He could feel that this was not just a matter of individuals or countries, but the root of a systematic collapse at the entire world level.
He finally raised his head, stared at Xia Xiu with a firm look, and asked in a deep voice:
"Principal..., the Edish Federal Republic has become a half-normal and half-averse society.
The crux of all this can be attributed to [Financial Street].
It can also be said that Edishi's ideology - built entirely on extraordinary capital liberalism dominated by financial currency - I want to ask you, how do you plan to deal with this deep root when the Kingdom of Heaven really wants to practice utopianism.
The question?”
Xia Xiu did not answer immediately.
He pondered for a moment, measuring the weight of every word and sentence in the answer.
“The [Financial Street] of Edishi Federation is indeed a complex and deeply rooted problem.
It summarizes everything into an abnormal ability in the form of currency, with almost everything inclusive.
But to discuss how to deal with it, we must first return to an essential issue:
——How do we view the existence of ‘money’.”
Xia Xiu's tone was relaxed and clear, as if he was explaining an obvious fact, but the depth of this fact made the air around him solemn.
Everyone was deeply attracted by his arguments, especially Joseph, whose eyes were even more tightly locked on Xia Xiu.
"The reason why [Financial Street] is listed as a [crisis sequence] by the Kingdom of Heaven is precisely because it has difficult to eradicate the alienation problem.
It makes the fruits of human labor a commodity, and all social relations are traded through the market.
This phenomenon makes money not only materialize labor, but also human beings themselves.
In the process of pursuing profit maximization, abnormal capital ignores the true value of production to society."
The principal of the courtyard said to his students, Joseph from Edish:
"[Financial Street] transforms the fruits of human labor into commodities, so that all social relations can be traded through the market - all workers become accessories of [Financial Street].
The original function of currency is to serve as a medium of exchange and a tool for economic activities.
After alienation, currency is no longer just a tool, but a purpose of economic activities.
The pursuit of money itself (profit) replaces meeting people's needs.
Pursuing profit maximization rather than producing products that are truly valuable to society becomes everything.
Originally, money should have been created by humans and used to promote the ‘means of exchange’ of goods.
After alienation, money gradually became the force that dominated social relations, and interpersonal relations were objectified into monetary relations.
Workers create value through labor, but these values are expressed in the form of currency and are occupied by [Financial Street].
The genealogical resources obtained by the financial genealogy are only part of maintaining the reproduction of its labor force, and the surplus value is seized in the form of currency by [Financial Street].
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The labor results (commodities and profits) of everyone in [Financial Street] are controlled by financial tycoons, while the producers themselves can only obtain the monetary price (wages) of the labor force.
The process of capital accumulation has continuously widened the gap between the rich and the poor, forming a monopoly distribution of wealth.
On the other hand, money has changed from the expression of value to value itself, and people have begun to worship money rather than focus on the actual value of goods or labor.
Under the conditions of extraordinary capital liberalism, currency has become the core medium of social relations.
People’s emotions, trust and obligations are all quantified into monetary relationships.
For example, marriage may be affected by wealth, and educational resources are allocated according to the ability to pay
In the process of alienation, money becomes the only criterion for measuring everything.
At the same time, the other hand brought about by alienation is that the operation of financial markets is far away from all entities. They increase value through financial derivatives, virtual currencies, etc., and are out of touch with actual labor. Currency is no longer 'linked' with specific commodities or labor. It becomes
It became a number, and then continued to expand through free market speculation.
This digitally alienated entity separation is a true separation.
The collapse of the [Regional Financial Street] in the past, causing the 24 Oaxaca countries to be swallowed up to only the remaining sixteen countries, which is a real-life devouring crisis caused by financial alienation.
——This is very dangerous for human society. The Kingdom of Heaven will never allow [Financial Street] to be alienated into numerical values, causing all human entities to disappear, and currency must be linked to entities."
Joseph couldn't help asking:
"Then will the kingdom of heaven completely eliminate currency, and even this conceptual existence?"
Xia Xiu asked back:
"Let's think about what role does currency play in our daily lives. For example, if you go into a store to buy a bottle of water, is currency just a tool for exchange?"
Joseph thought for a moment, as if he understood something vaguely, and replied to the principal:
"Yes, currency is like a tool of exchange, helping me exchange it for goods."
Xia Xiu continued:
"Yes, currency is indeed used for exchange, but imagine if there is no currency, can you trade by directly exchanging items? For example, when you go to a store, you don't need money, but instead use your fruit to exchange water."
Joseph replied:
"Well, that's...the stuff exchange. But, the question is, what if I don't have enough fruit?"
Xia Xiu replied:
"This is a good question. Suppose we live in a society without currency, and everyone has to exchange what they can provide. The exchange between that person becomes very complicated and inconvenient."
Joseph replied: "It is definitely not realistic. Without currency, everyone has to spend a lot of effort to find a suitable exchange object, and it is impossible to meet everyone's needs efficiently."
Xia Xiu took over the topic in time:
“So this raises another problem that a kingdom of heaven has to face.
If we completely eliminate currency, is it possible to fall into this predicament?
It was like some of the slightly radical social attempts in the past, such as some regions trying to achieve wealth sharing through the complete elimination of currency.
However, everyone found that lacking money and the allocation of resources became extremely chaotic, and everyone fell into a more difficult situation.
Or achieve some social or economic goal through extreme monetary reform and asset allocation
