1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Those Communist Party members in the meeting hall who had a certain theoretical level and were well aware of the great significance contained in this text were secretly surprised, secretly admired, and silently memorized it.

As expected of the author of the "Three Represents", his theoretical level is truly unmatched by ordinary people...

No one knows how high the shoulders of giants Fujiwara no Kanezane is standing on - it would be more difficult to revise certain words and sentences and dilute the class color to avoid some bastards getting angry.

"The Communist Party of Asia takes the important thought of 'Three Represents' as its guide for action, and takes 'unity and coexistence, equality and mutual trust, scientific development, and sharing of achievements' as its core concepts, to promote the establishment of a new Asian order that is 'open, inclusive, secure, stable, and sustainably prosperous';"

"The Communist Party of Asia advocates for mutual learning among civilizations instead of conflict between civilizations, cooperative security instead of military confrontation, and shared development instead of zero-sum games. Drawing on the wisdom of traditional Asian culture and integrating modern governance experience, we are committed to building an open, inclusive, mutually beneficial, and win-win Asian community with a shared future..."

A community with a shared future!

Many people unconsciously looked in a certain direction, and when they found that there was no one there, they suddenly realized that this was not the CCP’s Party Congress. Even if Fujiwara Kanezane admired Li Desheng, he would not ask him to attend the meeting.

Actually copied...

Well, I heard that the Party Central Committee is also discussing the possibility of revising the "Three Represents" and incorporating it into its own theoretical system. So, everyone, please stop talking about the big brother and the second brother!

That's right, good things are copied from each other... borrowed from each other. But, why does it feel so regretful?

After reading the outline, Fujiwara no Kanezane cleared his throat and asked loudly:

"Comrades, do you have any comments or suggestions? If so, please signal the staff and ask them publicly through the microphones set up in the area."

Oh, so that's why they put so many pickups on stage...

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

The contents of the general outline are almost all absolutely correct. Who can have any objections? Who dares to have any objections?

By opposing these contents, are you standing against the vast majority of Asian people? Seeing that no one spoke, Fujiwara Kanezane continued to read the script:

"Chapter 1 Party Members"

Article 1: Anyone who is 16 years of age or older, recognizes the Party's program and constitution, is willing to join a Party organization and actively work in it, obeys and implements Party resolutions, and pays dues on time, may apply to join the Communist Party of Asia.

This is similar to the CCP's party constitution at the time. Apart from age restrictions, there are no restrictions on identity, ethnicity, gender, or region, and there is no mention of similar requirements such as "recognizing the Communist International."

pretty good.

Before, everyone was worried whether this new party would have multiple "fathers" like the CCP. Now it seems that Lord Fujiwara is still subject to very few constraints in Japan.

"Second, members of the Communist Party of Asia are the vanguard of the Asian people. They must have extremely high ideological awareness, serve the people wholeheartedly, and be willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of their own well-being, devoting their entire lives to the cause of common prosperity..."

Emmmmm....

The concept of "serving the people" has been publicly mentioned many times by Li Desheng and Fujiwara no Kanezane, and everyone is familiar with it. Since Fujiwara no Kanezane shouted it in front of the people of Shenyang after returning from the Bailingmiao battle, it has become even more popular in the Northeast.

However, if we replace "members of the Asian Communist Party" with "members of the Chinese Communist Party" and "common prosperity cause" with "communist cause", it seems... seems... probably... there would be no sense of incongruity...

If the above content seems to amaze, familiar, and resonates with you CCP members the more you listen to it, then some of the following content may sound a bit harsh:

“Article 3. Party members must fulfill the following obligations:”

"1. Carefully study the important thought of the 'Three Represents' and the theories, ideas, concepts, lines, principles, policies, resolutions, and related knowledge recognized by Fujiwara Kanezane and the entire Party..."

Why do these words seem so offensive to CCP members and even ordinary Chinese intellectuals?

Or it was because Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang had set an example.

Its party constitution clearly states what "Sun Yat-sen" is like:

"Our party has Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Three Principles of the People and the Five-Power Constitution, as its leader... Members must obey the leadership of the leader and work hard to promote the principles..."

Clauses like these caused an uproar at the time, with countless people accusing Sun Yat-sen of wanting to be a dictator, wanting to be the "second Yuan Shikai", and even wanting to become the "new emperor".

Judging from Chiang Kai-shek's actions, if he had not been having a bad time in the past two years and had no time to make trouble, the Kuomintang would probably have amended its party constitution to change it to "Chiang Kai-shek this and that".

Because they had suffered great losses under the corrupt and backward rule of the Qing Dynasty, which led to China being bullied and humiliated to death, Chinese intellectuals are extremely sensitive to things like "emperor". Anyone who wants to engage in "personality worship" will definitely be scolded.

This trend of thought had a great influence on the Communist Party of China. Until the new party constitution came out in 1945, the CCP’s previous party constitutions not only did not mention any Chinese leaders, but even did not mention communist predecessors such as Marx, Engels, and Lenin. At most, they mentioned the collective "Communist International."

Therefore, Fujiwara no Kanezane's blunt display of his own name naturally aroused some people's subconscious disgust, and some even thought, "Oh, the feudal aristocratic nature has been exposed."

But, they couldn't refute it.

The "Three Represents" is an advanced theory recognized by the Party Central Committee and the Party itself. Who has the guts to refute a great theorist who can write a theory of this level?

Besides, they said, "He and the entire party jointly approved it," and they didn't just mention him. Although under the current circumstances, "he approved" is equivalent to "the entire party approved," it's not that clear, right?

It's easier to accept than "Fujiwara no Kanezane is the only sun." Even if we can't accept it, what can we do?

After arriving in Northeast China, most CCP members quickly understood a tangible truth:

Although His Majesty Fujiwara is a Japanese, his prestige in the hearts of the people of Northeast China and the people's trust in him are definitely far beyond any other Chinese leader.

It's frustrating and disturbing, but it's the truth.

If Fujiwara no Kanezane hadn't had the final say on this new party and this new country, the people of the Five-Star Eastern Republic would never have agreed to it!

In this case, even if he really wrote something like "Fujiwara Kanezane is the eternal leader of the Five-Star Eastern Republic and all members of the Asian Communist Party" in the party constitution, what would it matter?

Many people would probably be happy to see this happen and applaud it!

Putting aside the taste of "dictatorship", just like most of the previous content, everyone still agrees with many of the clauses in Fujiwara Kanezane's "Asian Communist Party Constitution" in their hearts.

For example, "uphold the interests of the Party and the people above all else, subordinate personal interests to those of the Party and the people, be selfless and dedicated to public service, implement the Party's basic line and various principles and policies, and play a pioneering and exemplary role in production, work, study, and social life..."

Is this wrong?

For example, "Efforts should be made to earnestly carry out criticism and self-criticism, to courageously expose and correct words and deeds that violate the Party's principles and shortcomings and mistakes in work, and to resolutely fight against negative and corrupt phenomena..."

Is this wrong?

"Maintain close ties with the masses, publicize the Party's views to them, consult with them on all matters, promptly report their opinions and demands to the Party, and safeguard their legitimate interests..."

Is this wrong?

Of course there's absolutely no way it can be wrong!

It is no exaggeration to say that even if these contents were immediately written into the Constitution of the Communist Party of China without any changes, there would be no problem at all!

Your opposition to the "Party Constitution" is almost equivalent to opposing the Party Constitution!

Uh... let me emphasize, it is against the Chinese Communist Party.

In addition to these "theoretical" contents, after listening to other contents, the CCP members also felt that they could provide the CCP with an absolute learning model.

Because it is too perfect, far surpassing the current CCP.

For example, in the section on “Party Organizational System,” the Communist Party of Asia also adopts systems such as “democratic centralism” and “party representative system,” but the specific content is so detailed that it is almost impossible to find any loopholes.

How to implement democratic centralism, how to hold party congresses at all levels, how to establish and dissolve new party organizations...each item has extremely detailed regulations and is closely linked to each other.

Similarly, the same applies to chapters such as "Party Central Organization", "Party Local Organization", "Party Grassroots Organization", "Party Cadres", and "Party Discipline".

As they listened, the CCP members were stunned to find that for a moment, they could not find any place to refute or even offer any opinions or suggestions!

This is horrible!

Such a perfect party constitution was just produced so easily?

Judging from the solemn and shocked expressions on Commander Wang and the others' faces, they also didn't know!

It was great that he knew about the Party building a few months earlier than these middle- and grassroots cadres, but he had no idea how to build the Party!

In other words, this thing is Fujiwara no Kanezane's personal dictatorship!

Without consulting other cadres, he directly gained their approval. This... this... this is too...

beet!!

For the first time, many CCP cadres began to think that perhaps, sometimes, for some people, dictatorship is not wrong?

For example, Chen Mingshu in Fujian was promoting democracy and established the "Fujian People's Revolutionary Government", which was superficially a "model of democracy", but what he proposed could not even pass the test of Li Jishen.

A "dictatorship" was able to successively conquer Northeast China, parts of North China, and Mongolia in less than two years and establish a truly new country, bringing stability and happiness to tens of millions of people;

—a "democracy", but it was defeated repeatedly in the face of a weakling like Chiang Kai-shek and was almost destroyed. It could only barely survive by relying on the "exercises" of the Five-Star Eastern Republic Navy and the domestic situation.

This is the gap.

Perhaps, while democracy is good, it cannot be directly applied. Was Fujiwara no Kanezane practicing dictatorship?

There is no doubt that this is a dictatorship, even a dictatorship at the level of the Party Constitution, a dictatorship that "will leave a historical stain."

For example, the sentence "Fujiwara no Kanezane approved".

What does "recognition" mean?

To put it bluntly, if he says yes, it’s yes, and if he says no, it’s no! Whether it’s theoretical ideas or policy plans!

Knowing that dictatorship will arouse the resentment of some people, they still insist on it. There is only one reason:

He must use his absolute authority to improve the efficiency of the country's operations as much as possible and avoid making mistakes that would cause huge losses and endless hidden dangers!

In other words, speed up!

The most basic quality a person involved in politics should have is not to be afraid of being scolded or being "marked in history books."

Because, losing is treason, winning is revolution; dictatorship is not a sin, not even a mistake; being a loser is.

602 Emperor and Party Member: Not Everyone Can Become One

"...the production and use of the party emblem and flag shall be in accordance with regulations...the above is the entire content of the Communist Party of Asia's constitution."

Fujiwara Kanezane put down the manuscript in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then glanced around the silent meeting room:

"Comrades, I ask again: If you have any opinions, suggestions, or questions, please raise them here. I will give you fifteen minutes to consider and discuss them. If there are no objections, this Party Constitution will be published and distributed as an official document."

overbearing.

This is domineering.

What can you do in fifteen minutes?

From the impressive and theoretically profound exposition of the "Three Represents" in the General Program, to the Party members' obligations emphasizing "upholding the interests of the Party and the people above all else," "maintaining close ties with the masses," "carrying out criticism and self-criticism," and "combating negative and corrupt phenomena";

Then there are the detailed provisions on democratic centralism in the organizational system, as well as the rigorous wording and careful design of chapters on organizations at all levels, cadre selection, and party discipline...

With such rich content that requires careful reading and comprehension, many people probably didn't even hear the paragraph just read clearly, let alone remember, digest, and think about its deeper meaning and potential impact. What opinions or suggestions can they offer?

I'm afraid it will take several days or months to digest all this information!

Therefore, the meaning of Fujiwara no Kanezane's words is very clear - I don't have time to haggle with you and have "democratic discussions" on how the party constitution should be written. You just need to implement it according to what I say.

Understand, to execute;

Not only do you not understand, you must also execute.

To be honest, many cadres (not just CCP cadres) who were qualified to attend or attend the Greater East Asia Conference did not quite understand it.

This prince clearly displays a convincing "democratic" demeanor and the bearing of a "sage king" when dealing with international affairs and representatives of other countries and nations. Why is he so overbearing and arbitrary when facing "his own people"?

Well... putting aside our hidden missions and identities, at least, on the surface, we are still considered his "own people", right?

Without any discussion, just issue it directly?

Yes, we admit that the comprehensiveness of this Party Constitution, its rigorous logic, and its clear requirements far exceeded our expectations. Even those of us who have experienced the theoretical study and struggle within the Communist Party of China cannot find any substantial flaws.

It can even be said that in many specific details, the provisions are more complete and clear than the CCP Constitution that we are familiar with.

Even so, it's impossible that there won't be any problems at all, right?

"The more truth is debated, the clearer it becomes," and "The more truth is discussed, the easier it is to reach a consensus." This wise prince must have understood these simple truths!

We were hoping to debate with him!

Just a quarter of an hour?

This directly blocks the possibility of debate for most people! As for the reason, Fujiwara no Kanezane certainly understood it.

However, from his point of view, debate on scriptures is absolutely not allowed, at least not at the moment, and certainly not publicly, because if a debate is carried out, big problems will arise.

His "Three Represents" thought, which was derived from the mature theoretical system of the later Communist Party of China and then carefully adapted for localization, is bound to arouse deeper doubts due to its theoretical origins and its advanced nature that transcends its time. It may even expose the unexplainable part of his identity.

Exposing one's identity too early or causing theoretical confusion could lead the situation in an unpredictable and dangerous direction.

Moreover, from Fujiwara no Kanezane's personal perspective, he did not want these smart people to focus their energy on sutra debate, which is extremely important in the long run but has too little short-term effect and too high investment costs.

What Northeast China and even the whole of China need now are people who bend down and do practical things, rather than "theorists" like Wang Ming who do nothing but fight for power and profit and keep making nonsense all day long.

Just like a new author writing, don't plan too much first, just do it first, and you will naturally realize the importance of those theories in the process!

Of course, if someone can find loopholes in this party constitution that has been refined and carefully considered by the CCP for decades in just a quarter of an hour, he will be at least half the level of Li Desheng and can argue about it.

The last time I chatted with Li Desheng, he told me frankly that he always felt that the "Three Represents" was still missing some prerequisite theories and was not a complete version. He also independently deduced the prototype of the pragmatic theory content similar to "black cat, white cat".

But how many super theoretical masters like Li Desheng are there in the world who can fully combine practice and theory, have insight into the course of history, and foresee the next few decades or even centuries?
