Chapter 181 Discussion·Part 2
“So do you think democracy is wrong?” the hooded man asked Purficott, and this was also the question he was most concerned about.
Regarding this question, Purficott shook his head: "Whether democracy is right or wrong is actually not important. What is important is whether the country's leaders have the ability to lead the entire country to become better. Become stronger.
If the country can continue to become stronger and better, what if the leader is the emperor?
But if the leader cannot make the country strong and the people live a better life? In happy days, what if he is the leader elected by the people of the country?
The country needs leadership from people with ability, not leadership from people with votes.
After clarifying these, the answer to the question is actually very clear. Monarchy and democracy themselves are just different ways of selecting leaders and governing the country. The quality of the system does not depend on its form, but rather depends on its execution and efficiency.
A political system that is efficient and can effectively implement various policies, no matter what it is, is a good political system.
It will not be backward and corrupt just because the supreme ruler is called emperor, nor will it be efficient and clean just because the government is democratically elected.
Power corrodes people's hearts. Even if early popular elections can elect a group of officials who are passionate and dedicated to the people, over time, political animals will still be born specifically for elections.
The same is true for the feudal monarchy, but the imperial power is passed down only by blood, which will eventually lead to the royal family becoming useless. Occasionally one or two shining geniuses are not enough to change the entire country's gradual decline and decay with the times and social development. the essence of. ”
Perfect has a full and clear understanding of this.
After all, in the original world, society has passed the stage of trying various political systems and political systems. The struggle has come to an end, and those sociologists can study and analyze various political systems.
Although she did not specialize in this, she also dabbled in some dragon-slaying skills when she was studying. , so she can still give some guidance to these early revolutionaries in this world.
Autocracy is not advisable, because it will eventually lead to corruption. There are too many examples of this in the original world. < br>
The same goes for democratic elections. Over time, the formation of interest groups and classes will solidify classes, block the upward path, and plunge the entire country into stagnation and inevitable decline.
If the economy can still be maintained at this time, everything can still be papered and kept looking bright and decent.
But once the economy goes into trouble, all kinds of social problems will be exposed all of a sudden, making the whole country look like a "pill" in a mess.
Every time like this, it is the time when social changes are ushered in, because only by breaking down the solidified old classes can we create channels and space for new classes to rise.
This is also the essence of human social change, from ancient times to modern society.
"So that's it. I have to say that you are as wise as your father." The hooded man saluted Purfict. He didn't know whether he was saluting Mr. Brandlis or was being touched by Purfict. Views convinced. However, after clarifying the views of both parties, the hooded man asked a very critical question: "So do you want to inherit your father's business now? Or do you want to continue to be a noble lord?"
This question is important because Purficott's answer determines the attitude of the Hooded Man and the Assassin Brotherhood towards her.
"Inherit my father's career? Go to revolution to overthrow the imperial government? If this is what you want to do next, then I'm sorry, I can only end your life here." Purficott His expression changed, he reached out and grabbed his cane, inserted the Midas Rod and the cane together, held it in his hand like a staff, and then activated the alchemy technique.
A sharp thorn rose from the floor and pierced the hooded man's chest like a sharp sword.
Facing Purficott's sudden attack, the hooded man hurriedly tried to retreat, but found that the floor under his feet had turned into a quagmire. As his feet fell into it, several arms stretched out from the floor. She grabbed his legs firmly and held him in place.
However, Purficott did not kill the killer immediately, but explained to him: "In two years, the world will usher in the terrible apocalyptic winter. Now we must gather everything we can Use your own strength to deal with the coming of the doomsday disaster, instead of using the opportunity of social unrest and chaos to make a revolution! That will only mess up everything!
The government that has lost its ability to execute and organize is broken! The social order will only make the whole society become chaotic when disaster strikes, and lose the ability to resist disaster.
If you can't realize this clearly, then I can only kill you here. , I think even if my father knew all this, he would forgive me."
"The end of the world? I once heard that you promoted this to the noble council, but they did not accept it and were even humiliated. You, have you convinced them?" The hooded man did not realize that his life was being threatened, and still asked Perficott in a calm tone, not at all like a prisoner who was controlled by others.
Purficott just shrugged and said casually: "Facts speak louder than words. They wasted several months to confirm what I said, but the final result was that I won, so now I am the Northern Territory Lord, and the empire is also going to implement the northern expansion plan."
"So that's it." The hooded man nodded, and then twisted his body in a way that Purficott couldn't understand. He broke free from the restraints and jumped to the side before she could react.
Seeing that his skills did not look like those of a normal person, Purficott raised his eyebrows and said, "How to transform the human body through training? I should have thought of this earlier. Is this the result of my mother's research?"
"Your father also helped a lot." The hooded man finally lifted his hood, revealing a face that looked a bit handsome, but a scar at the corner of his mouth ruined the overall beauty. face: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Ezio, the current Grand Master of the Assassin Brotherhood, your father's former comrade-in-arms and comrade."
As he said that, he extended his hand to Perficott. own hands.
Seeing this attitude of the other party, Perficott also paused the cane in his hand to let the floor return to its original state, and then also stretched out his hand: "Perfect Brandlis, Earl of the Northern Territory. , the person in charge of the empire’s northern expansion plan, the doomsday response plan.”
“Nice to meet you, can you tell me what all this is about?” Ezio asked Perficott. road.
