f people. The Communist Party of China obtained power mainly by peasants. When the peasants organize themselves, they can become the main force of the revolu- tion. Unorganized workers will not have much effect on the revolution.

We often scorn competing for power. In fact, the struggle for power is the precondition for making the organization efficient, and it is the core of politics. Competing for power requires violence, so the military is an extension of politics.

Refugees do not compete for power and everyone is equal, but they cannot safeguard their own interests. It is not Lei Feng or Lu Xun that has made China prosperous, but Mao Zedong. The poverty-stricken countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America do not need philanthropists like Albert Schweitzer, but politicians like Mahatma Gandhi.

Many people nowadays often consider the characters of people as a major factor when analyzing the international situation. These people do not understand this truth. Han Feizi and Machiavelli knew this principle, so their theories became the core theory of political science.  Although Machiavelli said many absurd sentences, both Marx and Engels highly appreciated him.

Ⅹ Observing the Objectivity of Consciousness from the Cylinder Brain

The “Cylinder Brain” thought experiment is this: Imagine a crazy scientist taking your brain out of your body and placing it in a life-sustaining fluid, and then connecting the brain to a computer that has the ability to imitate your life experience. If this is indeed possible, then how do you distinguish whether the world around you is real or analog?

Materialism believes that the objective world exists objectively. People can only objectively understand it, but cannot subjectively assume its appearance. So what does the objective world look like? In the past, people believed that matter was immortal, and later discovered that positive and negative particles could be destroyed together; scientists said that the universe came from a big bang, but some people said that the universe had several big bangs; some people believe that human nature is good, but there are always people who wage war and be passionate about killing people. Quantum mechanics tells us that we cannot track quantum objects in space and time, so quantum objects cannot be fully understood.

So, what exactly is the objective world? Materialist said that it cannot be described accurately yet, and understanding must be continuously developed. This is called forever tomorrow. Chang Baohua said a comic dialogue, “I invite you for dinner.” Then he reported a lot of dishes. “When do we eat?” “Tomorrow, tomorrow, forever tomorrow!”

There will be many statements about the world in the future. The objective world that materialism can now present to us is nothing more than the current subjective understanding. The real objective world cannot be fully understood by people. If you want to understand the real objective world, you must wait for the forever tomorrow. Should we wait for tomorrow or live in the present?
