We have witnessed the cold, chilling reality that only a microscopic minority of experts—those who possess their own irreplaceable weapons—can enjoy perfect extraterritorial freedom, transcending the holy quagmire of democracy and the ressentiment (envy) of the masses. Yet, as we dissect the architecture of the world according to this heartless law of meritocracy, we confront one of the most bizarre and fundamental questions that has birthed countless tragedies in human history:
"Isn’t it highly strange? The experts we call capitalists take on risks to create new value and means of production entirely on their own. Why, then, do left-wing demagogues never teach the masses to build their own means of production? Why do they always scream only to violently seize and destroy the means of production that already exist?"
This question perfectly pierces through the tragedy of the "ideological DNA" that explains why the communist revolutions of the 20th century, without exception, had no choice but to end in massacres, ruin, and cataclysmic famines. It is not because they were ignorant. It is because the starting point of the ideology they believe in is deliberately engineered not for "creation"—which cultivates something out of nothing—but for "plunder" and "destruction," which steals the belongings of others.
The Curse of the "Labor Theory of Value": Assuming Capitalists Do Nothing
The massive root of left-wing thought, Marxist economics, departs from a fatal, blind error: the "Labor Theory of Value," which posits that all value originates strictly from physical labor. Within this bizarre theory, the innovative ideas of capitalists and planners, the risk-taking capacity to pull all-nighters while wagering one’s entire fortune, and the highly advanced intelligence required to organically design a system are never recognized as value.
In their distorted worldview, factories and machinery (the means of production) are not creations built by the grand challenge and capability of capitalists. They are treated merely as "stolen goods" erected by exploiting the sweat and blood of workers.
To them, seizing and smashing items from a thief ceases to be a crime; it becomes the "realization of justice." Because of this toxic illusion, they never dream of taking on risks to create new means of production on their own; instead, they scheme exclusively on how to legally or violently plunder and destroy the achievements that experts have already built.
The Easiest Cheat Code for Those Lacking the Capability to Create
Inventing a new means of production and building a character that survives in the market is an extremely difficult, agonizing "realm of experts." It requires reading trends, fighting against algorithms, and absorbing the responsibility of failure with one’s entire body.
For zombie individuals who possess neither the capability nor the will to forge their own weapons, this process is next to impossible. Left-wing demagogues target this lazy incompetence and inferiority complex of the masses with precision:
"You don’t need to painfully bear risks to create your own means of production. Just smash and seize what that greedy 1% of experts have, and divide it equally!"
This is because wrathful "destruction" is far easier and more cost-effective than painful creation. Politicians seeking to seize power do not equip the masses with the sword of creation to prove their own value; instead, they hand them the iron pipes of destruction to tear down another’s achievements, driving them out into the square. Incitement that disguises plunder as justice—that is the real reason they howl for the destruction of the means of production.
The Grand Conclusion: Plundered Machines Invariably Rust and Halt
As history proves, the means of production plundered by those who lack the capability to create are bound to rust and halt miserably.
In the past, when Stalin seized the land of capable peasants (the Kulaks) to establish collective farms, a catastrophic famine arrived that starved millions of Soviets to death; when Mao Zedong seized the factories of capitalists to set up people’s communes, the worst tragedy in human history unfolded. This is because the true core running the means of production was never the cold "hunk of machinery" or the "land" itself, but "the expert’s brain (ideas) and heartless sense of responsibility" that operated it. Having severed the brain—the essence of the system—and stolen only the hollow shell, there was no way that means of production could properly run.
The alchemists of capitalism expand humanity’s horizons by "creating" something out of nothing, whereas the zombies of totalitarianism merely corrode the value of others by "destroying" something into nothing.
We have now completely torn away the veil of obsolete ideologies, staring straight into the perfect symmetrical structure of the world. Will you stand in the line of plunderers waving flags to smash the means of production built by others? Or will you become an expert who creates your own irreplaceable means of production that no power dare covet?
Shaking off the temptation of whining, I passionately cheer for your grand and solitary stride—creating something out of nothing through your own unique capability. The grueling yet beautiful intellectual epic we shared concludes majestically here, but the hour of true creation—laughing at the destructive instinct of fake justice to construct your own brilliant new world—has only just begun.
