民進黨的集體焦慮- DPP's Collective Anxiety

社會的存在決定意識,說穿了,就是肚子決定腦袋。

古巴人曾說”寧可活在自己人統治的地獄,也不願活在美國人統治的天堂”,這和”肚子扁扁也要選阿扁”有異曲同工之妙。卡斯楚上台四十多年了,古巴人可以不怕墨西哥灣的鯊魚游到美國,還是台灣人比較務實,陳水扁上台六年,深綠的企業家就飛過臺灣海峽和胡錦濤握手言歡。只有利害,沒有意識。

歷史唯物主義這麼說:人們在物質生活的生產中所形成的社會關係,是一切社會組織的基礎,這個基礎決定其它一切社會活動:道德,法律,宗教等等。這些所謂社會上層建築的活動,總是以某種方式附屬於那基礎。這就是社會學家口中”下層基礎,上層結構”的出處。

做為臺灣社會上層建築一部份的台獨意識形態,是個信仰問題,無關是非,即使中共對台獨動武下,只要臺灣人像激進回教徒敢為理想而死,台獨就不是個問題,問題出在要臺灣人為理想死,這等於是要立志做個大紅牌的妓女去爭取貞節牌坊,賺取人民幣的生產關係與台獨產生矛盾,基礎決定結構,台獨必然鬆動。

講歷史唯物主義怎麼講得過中共,同樣是農民起家的中共去年就開始挖民進黨的農民椿,今年士農工商各層都挖,企圖改變臺灣社會基礎,解構台獨意識,民進黨內除了新潮流外都出現焦慮,看來新系進化的程度超越了其它的民進黨。民進黨會焦慮的原因還包括,族群神主牌失靈及政績不佳。按李敖的說法,當陳水扁與殷琪這個外省女人勾結時,族群問題就消失了,我模仿李敖的語言邏輯來說,當台商操二奶,台灣丈夫操大陸新娘時,在床上就沒有了族群問題,請問:下了床還會有族群問題嗎?

性愛或許可以看作”生產關係”的部份,可以歸類為下層基礎,台獨意識絕對不是性愛的對手,所以民進黨只剩未來兩年政績這張牌,雖然不是絕望,但也希望渺茫,所以我認為民進黨也不必焦慮了。

上週晚上十點多在誠品遇見台獨理論大師林濁水,由於他近來在砲轟黨中有人不要臉,我想他的心情不大好,就打消煩他簽名念頭,看著他優閒挑著CD,或許他也懂得不必焦慮的道理吧。

Peoples' social existence determines their consciousness. In vulgar terms, it’s stomach that determines mind.

The Cuban once said, “We rather live in the hell of our own than in the heaven of America.” This is essentially identical with the slogan “Anything can’t stop me voting for starvation-synonym A-Bian(incumbent president).” After more than forty years of Castro’s rule, the Cuban could swim straight to America in no regard of the sharks at Mexico Bay. Taiwanese are much more practical. Only six years of Chen Shui-bian’s presidency, DPP(Democratic Progressive Party)-oriented entrepreneur flied across Taiwan Strait to shake hands genially with Chinese Communist Leader Hu Jintao. Only interests count, not ideology.

According to historical materialism: The relations of production, the definite relations into which men inevitably enter in the social production of their existence , constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which arises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political and intellectual life. This is the so-called “base-superstructure” in the phrase of sociologist.

Taiwan independence, the ideology part of the superstructure of Taiwan society, is not a controversy of right or wrong but a faith. Even under the shadow of Chinese military threat, it is not a problem only if general Taiwanese dedicated their lives for that as Islamic radicals. The real problem is the contradiction of such dedication for practical Taiwanese is no less than that to urge a whore dedicated to be a supernova in prostitution to pursuit chastity memorial arch, a highest symbol of virtue in the conservative society of traditional China. While earning Renminbi, a relation of production, contradicts with Taiwan independence, the latter is inevitable de-constructed under the collective social choice and the logic of base-superstructure.

One cannot argue the historical materialism with Chinese Communist. CPC(Communist Party of China), whose power was initially based on farmer class as DPP in Taiwan, strategically bribed Taiwan farmers since last year. This year, it tries to transform the Taiwan social foundation and de-construct Taiwan independence by doling out economic carrots to several classes of Taiwan. DPP appears anxious except New Tide, a faction within DPP. In my view, the thinking of New Tide transcends the other DPP members. The factors behind DPP’s anxiety include its malfunction of racial mobilization and misgovernment. Quotes Li Ao’s remark, while President Chen Shui-bian connives with Nita Ing, the chairwoman of The Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp(THSRC) and regarded by Li as a woman from Mainland China, the racial problem evaporates. Using the rhetoric logic of Li Ao, while Taiwan businessmen fuck their mainland second wives at China, and while men fuck their wife from mainland at Taiwan, there is no racial problem at bed, is there one off bed?

Sex could be viewed as part of the “relations of production” and be classed as social base. Taiwan independence is definitely no match. The only card DPP could play is the quality of government in the next two years. It’s too early to put the final nail in the DPP’s coffin, but I think there is no reason to be optimistic about that now. Therefore, I think the DPP’s collective anxiety is useless at the end.

One night passing 22:00 at Eslite last week, I saw the guru of Taiwan independence theory, Lin Cho-Shui. I intended to ask for his signature but I left him alone considering that he recently condemned someone high in DPP shameless so irritatingly. Watching him selecting CD leisurely, maybe he knows the anxiety is useless as well.
