谢谢,解释一下

还是先反问一下:

“专制和民主的关系,……没有强烈的好/,先/后关系. 专制和民主的关系,更像爬行和直立行走的关系. ”——爬行和直立没有先后,好坏?此话怎讲?

“专制是民主的前夜,民主是专制的未来.人类一定从专制制度走向民主制度. 此为概念模糊.”——这个好像不是概念,而是一种未经证实的猜想。人类(全人类)我觉得永远不可能统统走向一个制度,不管是不是民主,让全人类都实现民主和以前把红旗插遍五湖四海是一种思维。人类社会变得多元化才符合自然规律。当然这也是我的猜想,不是概念。

 

你以为那些自焚的,跳楼的,上访的,..都是制造悲情,自虐?他们没有试过/不想“讨个说法”?难道上访不是“讨个说法”?此为逻辑混乱 ”——是的,我忽略了一点,我是基本上支持上访的,但不支持上访中那种哭闹下跪的方式,这和过去祈求青天大老爷没有什么两样。上访也要做好充分的法律准备,先用法律武装好自己,不卑不亢,哪怕是自焚也要死在最高法院门前而不是自家门前。但国人的心理总是把自己弄得可怜状,惨兮兮的,似乎这样才能得到支持和同情。不过我更希望人们上访之前走正常的法律途径,当然在中国这很难,但上访更难,弄不好命都搭上。

开盘就说中国人的胃不适合民主, 台湾人不是中国人?住在加拿大的华人不是中国人?大家都很适应嘛...”——中国目前没有做好全盘接受民主的准备,不代表永远不能。再别拿台湾说事,台湾的文化除了表面的包粽子吃元宵,其深层价值观还有多少中国文化?中国人?台湾还有多少人真正认同自己是中国人?海外的,尤其海外大陆人,恐怕更是只知道享受作为权力和利益的民主,从来没有意识到民主更是责任和义务吧?当然,海外的华人在西方文化熏陶下,这个胃多少也改变了。你还吃稀饭馒头吗?国内的百姓恐怕还离不开这两样吧?

就算海外华人,大多数,除了吃喝玩乐,开开爬梯,眼里盯着大洋彼岸的政治,骂骂共产党,多少人真正关心所在国的社会和人民?更别说参政了,这也叫“适应”?

看看这一段,有多少美国的华人做到并认同了?

Citizen Responsibilities

 

 

(The following one-pager is taken from the U.S. Department of State publication, Principles of Democracy.)

Unlike a dictatorship, a democratic government exists to serve the people, but citizens in democracies must also agree to abide by the rules and obligations by which they are governed. Democracies grant many freedoms to their citizens including the freedom to dissent and criticize the government.

Citizenship in a democracy requires participation, civility, and even patience.

Democratic citizens recognize that they not only have rights, they have responsibilities. They recognize that democracy requires an investment of time and hard work – a government of the people demands constant vigilance and support by the people.

• Under some democratic governments, civic participation means that citizens are required to serve on juries, or give mandatory military or civilian national service for a period of time. Other obligations apply to all democracies and are the sole responsibility of the citizen – chief among these is respect for law. Paying one's fair share of taxes, accepting the authority of the elected government, and respecting the rights of those with differing points of view are also examples of citizen responsibility.

• Democratic citizens know that they must bear the burden of responsibility for their society if they are to benefit from its protection of their rights.

• There is a saying in free societies: you get the government you deserve. For democracy to succeed, citizens must be active, not passive, because they know that the success or failure of the government is their responsibility, and no one else's. In turn, government officials understand that all citizens should be treated equally and that bribery has no place in a democratic government.

• In a democratic system, people unhappy with their leaders are free to organize and peacefully make the case for change – or try to vote those leaders out of office at established times for elections.

• Democracies need more than an occasional vote from their citizens to remain healthy. They need the steady attention, time, and commitment of large numbers of their citizens who, in turn, look to the government to protect their rights and freedoms.

• Citizens in a democracy join political parties and campaign for the candidates of their choice. They accept the fact that their party may not always be in power.

-- They are free to run for office or serve as appointed public officials for a time.

-- They utilize a free press to speak out on local and national issues.

-- They join labor unions, community groups, and business associations.

-- They join private voluntary organizations that share their interests – whether devoted to religion, ethnic culture, academic study, sports, the arts, literature, neighborhood improvement, international student exchanges, or a hundred other different activities.
