The economic power of China is well known. Yet, the aspirations of the Chinese people for freedom is also well-known. The persecution and genocide of the Uyghurs is a case in point when it comes to understanding the evils of communism. The recent illegal annexation of Hong Kong and the military threats to Taiwan expose the dangers of the fascist CCP.
Add to this the
theft of technology from other nations, Confucius Institutes that infiltrate the
world’s educational institutes, spying on industrial organizations and theft of
intellectual property, the possible deliberate effort to kill millions of
people around the world through the coronavirus and you have a nation so
paranoid that no sane nation can trust it.
What can the
Chinese people do now? How can they advance their prospects for
self-sufficiency and self-determination? I suggest a Revolution of Silence.
To the Chinese
people, I’d like to suggest starving your government of money, go on strike,
and keep from your murderous government the very things it needs to oppress
you. This approach may require short-term suffering but certainly not the level
of suffering you have experienced for decades. Here is how it can be done:
1. Stay in
your homes after work until the government falls. If you have vacation time
available, take it but spend little money in the economy. This keeps you out of
trouble, reduces commerce and yet is a form of protest.
2. Hoard
your money as much as you can, hide it and do not put it in a bank; temporarily
remove it from circulation. The government needs a working economy in order to
pay for operations. If you hoard your money and refuse to buy anything, there
will be fewer taxes the government can collect.
3. Reduce or
stop your production if possible. The government can only collect taxes when
surplus wealth is created. If there is no surplus wealth, the government will
begin to experience budget deficits, and this will reduce the amount of money
available for the Chinese military.
4. Keep
silent about your opinion of the government and do only what you are told. Present
no new ideas on how to better society (especially if it involves you
sacrificing more of your values). Act as if you are ignorant when you are asked
for an opinion or idea.
5. If you
can, do only enough to achieve bare subsistence. This should also be done by
merchants and factory owners whose taxes feed the coercive economy. If you can decrease
production without being caught, do so.
6. Do not
start new businesses or borrow money for major purchases. This will slow the
economy and start the process of economic decline that is necessary for the
government to fall.
7. If you
are a student, learn your lessons and get good grades, but take no position of
leadership and show only the support of silence. The entire society should walk
in silence without smiles. This is a form of protest.
8. If you
are an employee of the government or even a police officer, do everything you
can to help freedom-loving people who have been arrested unfairly (without being
noticed) and, if you can, refuse to follow orders. This will be important
because the new government, once it is formed, will need good people.
9. Whenever
possible, grow your own food and make your own energy and do nothing to improve
your standard of living until the government has fallen and you are free.
10. In your
trade with others, trade in such a way that it is out of sight of government
and without reporting. Barter, create your own private currencies and make only
private agreements out of sight of government. Trust each other and deal only
with people who do not support the government.
11. If
possible, take advantage of every benefit the government provides so it is
spending money on you that it cannot spend on weapons and oppression. Only take
a government job if you can sabotage the government without being noticed. Take
but never give back.
12.
Understand the government’s weaknesses. Remember, American consulting firms
have been directing your institutions in order to mimic American capitalism in
China. This is a weakness, not a strength. American consulting firms have been
recommending Keynesian ideas for decades and this means pragmatism,
indeterminacy, and fascism. You can thwart these policies by standing on
principle for individual rights. American companies today are not about
American principles. These companies can be fought by staying firm on ideas
like those found in the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the
USA. Fight for freedom, not compromise. Policies like “the end justifies the
means”, “sacrifices must be made” and “perception is reality” are false ideas.
Fight for the “pursuit of happiness”, not human sacrifice. The goal of a proper
society is to have citizens who are happy, not “suffering and dying”.
As I have
written elsewhere:
“Our inability to get fair trading terms from the Chinese should have
resulted in less trade between the two countries. This is because our country
would have been able to resume manufacturing here (in America) as well as make
good trade deals with other countries.
“Overall, Trump’s policies were ineffective because he mimicked liberal
policies in America and did not know what he was doing. His tariffs, in
particular, did not work because they distorted his conservatism and gave the
Chinese a reason to interfere in our elections, media, and educational systems.
Trump’s policies had the correct goal, but with incorrect means. His efforts to
lower the regulatory impact of the left’s policies was effective only in thwarting
the negative economic impact of the Obama administration; but Trump’s policy of
liberating the economy was thwarted by his very own covid policies.”
With a protest
like I have suggested above, a silent protest, the government cannot last long,
and it will either have to capitulate or fall. Governments need money in order
to function and if you can starve the CCP of money, you can win. After all, you
are the highest value in your society; they are the parasites.
