After leaving Longmen Town, Chen Daosheng stumbled to the White Lotus Sect's stronghold on the outskirts of Longmen Town, where over forty armed vehicles of various models were parked, and people wearing mechanical exoskeletons, both White and 【for some unknown reason】 Black, patrolled back and forth.
Upon seeing the three of them, these Black and White people immediately knelt down with a thud, and only got up one by one after the three entered a modified heavy armored vehicle.
Then, these people together began to loudly recite the benefits of socialism, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Fairness and Justice: Socialism emphasizes fair distribution and common prosperity, reducing the gap between rich and poor through state intervention and regulation, allowing social resources to be allocated more reasonably. This helps achieve social fairness and justice and improves the happiness of the people.
Stability and Harmony: Under the socialist system, the state carries out unified planning and management in economic, political, and cultural aspects, which is conducive to maintaining social stability and harmony. Under the socialist system, the state can better coordinate the interests of all parties, resolve social contradictions, and ensure the people's peaceful and happy lives.
Guaranteeing Livelihood: Socialist countries usually invest a large amount of resources in livelihood construction, including education, medical care, and housing, so that the broad masses of people can enjoy better public services. This helps improve people's living standards and well-being.
Promoting Economic Development: Under the socialist system, the state can concentrate its efforts on major undertakings, and through macroeconomic regulation and industrial policy guidance, promote the continuous development of the national economy. At the same time, socialist countries often attach importance to scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation, providing a continuous source of power for economic development.
Strengthening National Cohesion: Socialism emphasizes the spirit of collectivism and advocates that all people work together for the prosperity and strength of the country and the nation. This helps enhance national cohesion, form a strong centripetal force, and promote the continuous development of the country.
Conducive to Environmental Protection: Socialist countries usually attach more importance to environmental protection and sustainable development, and through legislative and law enforcement means, protect the ecological environment and achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
In short, the socialist system is conducive to achieving social fairness and justice, guaranteeing livelihood, promoting economic development, enhancing national cohesion, and protecting the environment, among other goals. Of course, the practice of socialism in different countries and regions will also vary and needs to be specifically analyzed according to the actual situation.”
As soon as Chen Daosheng entered the door, he reverted to his gentle scholar appearance, and all the alcohol smell on him vanished. He sent away the two maids, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Longmen Town outside the window, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
After Chen Daosheng left, Feng Jun did not go home immediately. Instead, he discussed the situation around Huaicheng District with Song Peng. The final conclusion was that if the White Lotus Sect truly made a move, Huaicheng District would fall into civil war even before May. But this was only their speculation, and Feng Jun had to prepare for the worst outcome.
Their discussion lasted until three in the morning. Although it was only a rough arrangement, they could only act according to circumstances now. Feng Jun had a premonition that the Zhu Hong Business Association and the Blood Hand Mercenary Group would come knocking on his door within the next few days, and then he could make his choice.
Feng Jun tiptoed into his room. The light was off, so Li Lu must have been asleep. Feng Jun washed his face and went upstairs quietly.
Opening the room door, Feng Jun immediately saw Li Lu, as well as Gu Yunyun and Gu Yaoyao. All three of them were awake and sitting together.
“Why are all three of you here? And why are they two here too?” Feng Jun asked.
“You haven't come home all day, so I kept them here to keep me company. And they just happened to study the core socialist values with me!” Li Lu said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun was immediately overjoyed and sat down at once, saying, “Let's all four of us study together. Study hard and make progress every day.”
“Mmm~” the three girls said in unison.
The core socialist values are the value cornerstone of contemporary society, embodying the fundamental principles and goals of socialism. This set of values emphasizes taking human and social public interests as the starting point, pursuing social equality and common prosperity. In China, the core socialist values provide fundamental guidance for national, social, and personal development.
The value goals at the national level are prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony. These goals aim to achieve national prosperity and progress, and promote social harmony and stability. The value orientation at the social level is freedom, equality, justice, and rule of law. These principles require fair and equitable treatment in society, guaranteeing people's freedom rights, and maintaining social order. The value standards at the individual citizen level are patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness. These standards encourage people to love their country, be conscientious, honest, and friendly to others.
Chinese civilization has a long history and a unique value system. The core socialist values are inherited from excellent traditional Chinese culture, embodying the contemporary values of Chinese civilization: benevolence, people-orientation, integrity, justice, harmony, and seeking great unity. This set of values has gained widespread recognition and support in contemporary China.
The core socialist values are not only a powerful force for uniting hearts and minds and gathering popular support, but also the most enduring and profound force supporting national and social stability and development. To improve the ideological and moral standards of the entire nation, cultivating and practicing the core socialist values is an indispensable foundational project. At the same time, the core socialist values must be integrated into the construction of the rule of law, social development, and daily life, so that they become the common belief and guide for action throughout society.
After studying these, they then collectively learned about other benefits of socialism.
Socialist countries typically adopt the following measures to balance economic development and environmental protection:
Legislative Guarantees: Socialist countries will formulate a series of environmental protection laws and regulations to ensure that environmental protection work has legal basis. These laws and regulations will clarify the responsibilities and obligations of enterprises and individuals in environmental protection, regulate various development activities, and limit pollutant emissions.
Macroeconomic Regulation: The government will use macroeconomic regulation methods to guide industrial structure adjustment, optimize resource allocation, and promote green development. For example, restricting high-pollution, high-energy-consuming industries, encouraging the development of low-carbon, environmentally friendly industries, and promoting economic transformation and upgrading.
Environmental Supervision: Strengthen environmental supervision over enterprises, strictly enforce laws, and ensure that enterprises comply with environmental regulations during production. For enterprises that illegally discharge pollutants, penalties will be imposed according to law, and even shutdowns and rectifications will be carried out to protect environmental quality.
Technological Innovation: Encourage technological innovation, research and develop new environmentally friendly technologies, improve resource utilization efficiency, and reduce pollutant emissions. For example, developing clean energy, energy-saving technologies, etc., to provide green power for economic development.
Ecological Compensation Mechanism: Establish an ecological compensation mechanism, rewarding regions and enterprises that contribute to environmental protection, forming a virtuous cycle of environmental protection.
Environmental Education and Promotion: Strengthen environmental education and promotion, raise public environmental awareness, and form a green lifestyle. Through various channels, such as media and education, popularize environmental knowledge and advocate green consumption.
International Cooperation: Actively participate in international environmental cooperation, introduce advanced environmental concepts and technologies, and jointly address global environmental issues. At the same time, share environmental experience with other countries and jointly promote global sustainable development.
