What do you say? Li Zaian asked curiously
But the question is, how many of the million voters in St. Paul really have this political awareness? I'm afraid that less than 20% are basically middle- and high-income classes. They themselves are resistant to policies like this, such left-leaning policies. As for the remaining 80%, haha, this general program is probably far less tempting than more direct bribery.
For example, changing the increase in social welfare to increase the lower wage limit, changing tax policies to tax subsidies for the general public, and further promoting land reform to investigating the illegal occupation of public land in large estates. These policies do not change the status quo. From a long-term perspective, there is no benefit to middle and lower income people, but those voters do not consider the distance. They only see some things in front of them. Ludman's policies just cater to their short-sighted eyes, so they can get their support.
He pointed out the window and Betheron signaled Li Zai'an to see Ludman's campaign slogan: This is what Ludman did. He is a slippery man. Even within the right-wing Social Democratic Party, he is more inclined to the right. In addition to mentioning the programs I just mentioned, he also added the content of restricting imports and protecting the local economy. This is the most common practice of using external contradictions to conceal and transfer internal contradictions, but it is also the most cater to the mentality of middle- and low-income people.
This is what is called playing with public opinion? Li Zaian smiled and shook his head and said
It cannot be blamed on this aspect. Betheron tilted his head and thought about it, shook his head and denied that in the political circle, there are indeed all kinds of corruption and corruption, and black gold transactions are also flooding everywhere, but the existence of these things is not just to play with public opinion, but there is a real need.
Every politician has his political ideals and political ambitions. You can think of us politicians as painters. Well, a group of street painters with their own artistic cells and talents, but lacking canvas. This country is the only canvas. The corresponding position is the brush. The most urgent hope of each painter is to show off his talents and make a famous painting that is exquisite and can be remembered forever.
But the problem is that to do this, we first need to get a brush and squeeze at least one corner on the canvas. Even if it is the most inconspicuous corner. To achieve this goal, we have to sell ourselves to those who are qualified to speak, sell it again and again, deal after another, flattery, deception, lying, etc. These are just means to achieve the ultimate goal.
The cigar was a little choked, and she said a big call, her mouth was a little dry, and Betheron couldn't help but cough twice
It is impossible for a person to lie only once. A lie often requires countless lies to cover up. After betraying it once, there will be stains on your body. If you want to avoid being exposed by others, you must be beautified with more stains. After coughing for a while, he continued to say, "What's more sad is that those who know you are lying and know that there are stains on you are often your political opponents. They are staring behind you like greedy evil dogs, waiting for an opportunity to bite you fiercely. If you want not to be bitten by them, you must continue to betray and continue to trade after obtaining the brush and canvas, and win over a larger interest group to shock your opponents."
In this way, wouldn’t the canvas become very lively? Li Zaian rubbed his nose and said with a mocking smile
This is the helplessness of a politician. This is the underground rules of the political circle. Everyone must abide by it. The only difference is that those politicians with self will find ways to make the oil paint on the canvas closer to their own ideas, while those politicians without self will smear randomly and leave it to others. Betheron shrugged and said helplessly.
I was more optimistic about Nigati. My eyes turned back to the window. Li Zai'an glanced at the political advertisements that were almost everywhere and said with a smile, maybe this governor has no share, but the next one...
He will not be his next term, Betheron sneered and shook his head disapprovingly, saying, at least in the next decade, people from the Labor Party are unlikely to occupy such an important position as the governor.
Just because they are on the left? Li Zai'an is now learning, learning political vision from a real politician
So to say, Betheron nodded, in fact, if you have some understanding of Brazil's political history, you should know why. Take a look at the current programmatic propositions of the Labor Party. You will find that in Brazil's political history, someone has implemented almost the same policy.
Who? Li Zaian really doesn't know much about the history in this area
Vagas is the guy who banned the Communist Party but firmly implemented the Communist Party's policies. I don't know what Betheron's impression of this person is. In short, when he mentioned this name, he flattened his mouth disdainfully, but his eyes were full of envy.
Oh, the great dictator, Li Zai'an nodded. He is not unfamiliar with this name. After all, the printing and dyeing factory that Coria is now buying was founded when this person was in power.
Actually, it is not fair to put the title of the Great Dictator on his head. I prefer to call him, well, authoritarian. Betheron seems to be a little resistant to the dictator's statement, he frowned and said
Hum? Why do you say that? Li Zai'an is very interested in Betheron's view, because in terms of political views, Betheron should be considered a rightist. It is very new to describe Vagas by a neutral word like an authoritative.
It's very simple. Although a politician is also a human being, his comments cannot be viewed from a human perspective, but rather what impact his policies have had on the country. Did the country develop because of its existence or reverse the dictator Vagas because of its existence. That was the title created by Americans. They often use this confusing standard of judgment to interfere in other countries' internal affairs. If according to such standards, Lincoln is also a dictator, did the Americans still build a memorial for him? Betheron said sarcastically
The reality Vagas faced was that at that time, the public opinion in Brazil was completely manipulated by the owners of large estates and large financial bourgeoisie. The construction and development of the country were stagnant, and the social and economic chain was about to collapse. Large-scale reforms can be said to be closely related to the survival of this country. How can a reform be allowed to occur? Therefore, if you want to reform, you must ignore the so-called public opinion to a certain extent and establish an authoritative government that can break through the barriers of vested interest groups. In fact, Vagas did this, so he saved a country. After being driven out of power by the coup, he could still re-elect to power by the Americans.
Doesn’t this just prove that Nigati has great hope? Li Zaian spread his hands and said with a smile
No, no, Vagas's success does not mean that Nigati can succeed, Betheron laughed and said, "First of all, these two people are not comparable in their personal qualities. Secondly, the current situation is completely different from the situation in the Vagas period. Don't forget that we have just ended the dictatorship of soldiers, and we are very vigilant in all aspects. If a politician like Vagas wants to do his best, he must have a powerful government as the backing."
Unfortunately, the existence of a powerful government often means the emergence of a situation of military intervention in politics. After all, a simple literati government does not have such strong binding nature. So, for now, even if it is just to avoid military intervention in politics, Nigati will not be able to obtain any opportunity. Unless the Labor Party changes its program policies within the internal revision, the result will be the same.
No matter what kind of person Betheron is, he will not ask about his moral character. If we look at the two points of political sensitivity and the accuracy of political vision, he is undoubtedly an excellent person, or it can be said that he is a very pure politician - a very pure Western politician
In the memory of Li Zai'an's previous life, the Labor Party founded by Lula had repeatedly failed in the general election. Even Lula's own political journey was not smooth. In the process of the transition from failure to success, Lula and the Labor Party did revise their program. Most of the things that were more inclined to the left were removed from the program, while some things that were on the right were mixed in.
This is also the most direct reason why the Fourth Communist International (Trotskyist) regards Chavez as a reformist and Lula as Milleran revisionism
A conversation with Betheron made Li Zaian see his shortcomings - it doesn't matter if there are shortcomings. No one in this world can be born to be versatile. In a new field, people always need to make up for their shortcomings through continuous learning. Li Zaian has the decision and perseverance to make up for their shortcomings.
If we look at it from a long-term perspective, Betheron might one day become Li Zaian's enemy, but it doesn't matter. At least they have the foundation for cooperation now, so Li Zaian regards this guy he looks down on from the bottom of his heart as his enlightenment teacher on his journey to politics
