In critical times, what matters is not the type of system

but how the necessary Will of the community is expressed.

For instance, the main difference between Mao and Deng is that, Mao refuses to join the global power framework resulted from western colonialism while, Deng doesn'[t mind being part of it. Will to independence is the true difference between the Mao system and the Deng system, everything else comes next.

I just translated the above with Google, and was very impressed by the result:

在關鍵時刻，重要的不是製度的類型，而是社會必要意誌如何表達。

例如，毛澤東和鄧小平的主要區別在於，毛澤東拒絕加入西方殖民主義造成的全球權力框架，而鄧不介意成為其中的一部分。獨立意誌是毛澤東製度和鄧小平製度的真正區別，其他一切都是其次的。

• 如果願意接受殖民主義的權力框架，毛就不是毛了。從長遠歷史看，毛做得最對的事情是堅持了中國的主體性， -中間小謝- ♂ (63 bytes) () 10/05/2023 postreply 22:32:21
