Chapter 242 Capital

Chatting with Yuri is actually quite a tormenting thing.

Because sometimes the words that pop out of his mouth need to be compared and analyzed in the brain before you can vaguely understand what he means. This is a conversation when Lin En has a certain foundation, and it is better to translate it into Chinese. If it is pure Albion, it will probably be painful.

For example, what is the difference between value and price?

What is the function and circulation of currency? What is the meaning of different formulas for calculating profits? What is capital? The social attributes of capital?

If Lin En does not stop to think carefully about these words and questions, combined with the social status of the lower city of [Steam City], many of them will not be able to understand what Yuri is saying. Even so, when the big bald head talked about the research on employment and labor, Lin En also had a half-understanding of many places and could only hear the general meaning.

But Lin En has a memory palace.

For him, even if he can't understand it for a while, as long as he writes it down, and thinks about it later or combines it with the actual situation, he will still have an advantage over others.

In fact, Yuri was also surprised.

You have to know that many of his words are unfamiliar or he simply uses the ideographic meaning to replace the deep meaning, and a little bit of his own words, which is no less difficult than the first time an ordinary person comes into contact with [Murlan language]. Many of the students who followed him to study scratched their heads and were tortured. The workers were limited by their knowledge and could only use more superficial but less profound examples to explain. Yuri was helpless and had no way to deal with this. Knowledge is so difficult and complicated.

But Lin En could not only barely keep up, but sometimes he could draw inferences from one example or dig deep meanings, and even helped him correct a few inappropriate words.

The two had a discussion about public ownership and private ownership.

The so-called utopianism advocates the abolition of private ownership, the elimination of class differences, and social equality, among which the abolition and replacement of private ownership is its label. In this era, this is undoubtedly a more radical and dangerous slogan.

Just like if you want to rebel, if a group of mud-legged untouchables riot with pitchforks and hoes, it is estimated that two or three knights with a group of soldiers will suppress it. This kind of riot is not even considered a rebellion, and the ruling class will still eat melon seeds and appreciate the cheap bones being caught and hanged. But if you are systematic, put forward some theories and uncover some essences, then the ruling class will be restless. This is the panic of having their underwear stripped off.

To be more specific, Huang Chao wrote an anti-poem in the past. The essence is that people who are qualified to rebel expressed the idea of ​​rebellion, and often these people's rebellion is very effective and fatal.

To be honest, Lin En was very surprised that this big bald guy has not been killed.

From the big bald guy, Lin En also learned about the extraordinary people outside the [Steam City]. Although the social attribute of the extraordinary people is the ruling class, because of their overall short-lived label and the existence of the righteous gods, this group is neither arrogant nor rigid, and can resonate with the middle and lower classes more often.

Yuri commented on Lin En. Among all the extraordinary people he had met, Lin En was the one who could see through the problem and empathize the most. As for the others, they actually looked down on the poor people with a little bit of knight pity.

And why the extraordinary people are regarded as a collective rather than a class, Lin En also discussed with Yuri.

Class refers to multiple social groups with different identities, status, wealth, and ideologies. At first glance, Extraordinary people meet the definition of class, but the ideology of Extraordinary people is not naturally cohesive because of small circles and rankings, as well as extreme dispersion and freedom.

For example: Gao En's Extraordinary people may be persecuted and killed for some reason (church stake), but Albion's Extraordinary people will not feel offended, but will shout, Good death! Open the champagne!

Of course, it is more important that classes are contradictory, and the Extraordinary group is more likely to take advantage of the ruling class to gain benefits.

Yuri pointed out when talking about this.

"Extraordinary people are not sensitive to their social status and rights. Limited by the lag of the collective, they have not played the role of leaders in industrialized society. This phenomenon will eventually prompt the Extraordinary people to truly awaken and try to step onto the stage of history as a class as the productivity develops."

"How long do you think this will take?" Lin En was curious.

"This is a long process of mutual compromise, and the interference of external factors cannot be ignored. I think it will take at least nearly three hundred years."

"That's really long."

Three hundred years, that was almost the era before Lin En crossed over. Lin En thought about it. If it was that era, the extraordinary people would probably become the directors hidden behind the scenes of large companies in various Resident Evil movies in Lighthouse. And there will be many cases where disasters are caused by one's own selfish desires.

Although the tabby cat was unwilling to let Lin En stroke it, Lin En's smooth platinum hair became a comfortable cushion. It dismembered and stepped on the big bald head and jumped to the top of the little gentleman's head and lay down lazily.

So there was a scene where Lin En talked to Yuri with a cat on his head.

The big bald head was obviously well-educated and did not laugh because of this. Lin En also tolerated this hateful cat. Let it go. It would be too cheap to really care about a cat.

The autumn wind was blowing gently, and the smell of grass and soil came from afar with the wind, and the air was filled with the sound of insects. The hem of the star-studded dress of the lady [Weaver Moth] moved slightly, as if she was taking care of the two thinkers on the earth.

The agitation of thoughts without a material basis seemed very illusory, but it was these seemingly illusory things that could make the whole world change drastically.

In the discussion of public ownership and private ownership, Yuri explained why private ownership is the root of exploitation, oppression, and corruption.

First of all, private ownership is not private property.

Private ownership emphasizes the personal ownership of the means of production from the perspective of social system, and private property emphasizes the personal right to use the means of living from the perspective of family wealth. Those who, when they heard that private ownership was going to be abolished, shouted that human rights were being persecuted, there was no freedom, no progress, and their wives would be confiscated as property, basically belonged to three types of people: the current exploiting class, the bad intentions of those who attempted to exploit and oppress others, and the fools who were exploited and oppressed without awakening.

Generally, the second type is relatively small and the third type is relatively large.

Such people were called scabs in a passionate era.

"This is capital. If there is a 10% profit, he will be used everywhere. If there is a 20% profit, he will be active. If there is a 50% profit, he will take risks. For 100% profit, he dares to trample on all human laws. With 300% profit, he dares to commit any crime and is even willing to sell the rope to hang himself."

Lin En finally said this sentence in this era, although it was a little late and he was not the original author.
