本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛We don’t teach our children democracy in China. “Play fair”, “justice”, ”integrity”, ”dignity” etc. are not in our vocabulary. Instead, we train our children on “patriotism”, where “discipline”, “uniformity”, “national interest”, “power” are the things with which they are familiar when they step into adulthood. Look at this site….

You don’t need democracy, until someday your rights are being violated.

You don’t want democracy, until someday you find you are the one who is being abused and treated unfairly systemically.

You don’t appreciate democracy, until someday you are framed and you are totally silenced by the system.

Regardless of “real” democracy or “fake” democracy, the real difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is a monopoly on power. Several IDs on this site are raving that people who believe in "real" democracy should be more tolerant of those who believe in dictatorship. That is almost equivalent to a saying that you should understand and tolerate someone who is bullying you (because he can). So far, even “fake” democracy advocates don’t have any voice in China, let alone a share of power to do anything. How “fake” is that?

“What about if they get into power….” Someone may argue. Stop there. You are still thinking about dictatorship. Besides, it is a big “if”. You are hardwired to think that way since you were born. I don’t blame you.

Those IDs should learn some basics about democracy.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Sorry to know that you have had horrible experiences in China. Enjoy your freedom here in Canada.

在中国，每个人都有过或可能有这些horrible experiences。不要以为这些horrible experiences与自己无关，连彭德怀、刘少奇、林彪、邓小平、薄熙来这些共产党的高官都遭遇过这些horrible experiences，你和你的家人能够幸免？如果没有民主、人权和法制作保障，江、胡、习等 -qliumfs(Cool); 2013-1-14 {36} (#7999157@0)
也都逃不过这些horrible experiences。

这些horrible experience不是因为没有民主，而是因为没有法制，没有法制的民主比独裁更恐怖 -winterflybird(winter); 2013-1-14 (#7999193@0)

为什么要把民主和法制对立起来？民主和法制从来就是相辅相成的。 -qliumfs(Cool); 2013-1-14 (#7999221@0)

在一个缺乏完善法律系统国家，如果民众阶层严重分化，改革成为了不可能的任务，因为带来的是无休无止的街头抗争，甚至是内战，相辅相成是在社会分化不严重的情况下才能发生 -winterflybird(winter); 2013-1-14 (#7999249@0)

你给了个很好的例证，很多人即使到了加拿大很多年，也无法改变这种一贯的思维方式，想要用民主的方式达成在法律上的共识谈何容易？ -winterflybird(winter); 2013-1-15 (#7999389@0)

那就建立一个完善的法律系统，这和民主一点也不矛盾，没有相应的民主，法律系统很可能成为一党一家的私法，这点道理都不懂？ -qliumfs(Cool); 2013-1-14 (#7999296@0)

不是我不懂，而是你想得太理想简单了，中国目前社会阶层分化严重，而相对开放和富裕的知识分子处于少数地位，如果阶层之间无法妥协，结果就是一场内乱之后被暴力收拾残局 -winterflybird(winter); 2013-1-15 (#7999390@0)

中国目前社会阶层分化严重就是由独裁制度造成的，所以这个问题不可能由独裁制度来解决，独裁制度只能使这个问题越来越严重，各阶层之间越来越无法妥协。如果中国社会发生内乱，那也是由于独裁统治者的愚昧僵化和冥顽不化造成的。 -qliumfs(Cool); 2013-1-18 (#8007077@0)

I gotta find peace of mind
I know another cord...
I gotta find peace of mind
See, this what that voice in your head says
When you try to get peace of mind...
I gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says there's no me without him, please help me forget about him
He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory
Constantly holding me, constantly holding me
I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused, mmmm
I need to tell I'm, I'm undone because, mmmm
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says it's impossible without him, but I know it's possible
To finally be in love, and know the real meaning of
A lasting relationship, not based on ownership
I trust every part of you, cuz all that I... All that you say you do
You love me despite myself, sometimes I fight myself
I just can't believe that you, would have anything to do
With someone so insecure, someone so immature
Oh you inspire me, to be the higher me
You made my desire pure, you made my desire pure
Just tell me what to say, I can't find the words to say
Please don't be mad with me, I have no identity
All that I've known is gone, all I was building on
I don't wanna walk with you, how do I talk to you
Touch my mouth with your hands, touch my mouth with your hands
Oh I wanna understand, the meaning of your embrace
I know now I have to face, the temptations of my past
Please don't let me disgrace, where my devotion lays
Now that I know the truth, now that it's no excuse
Keeping me from your love, what was I thinking of?
Holding me from your love, what was I thinking of?
You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind
You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says it's improbable, but I know it's tangeable
He says it's not grabbable, but I know it's haveable
Cuz anything's possible, oh anything is possible
Please come free my mind, please come meet my mind
Can you see my mind, oh
Won't you come free my mind?
Oh I know it's possible
Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, yeeey
Anything, anything, anything, anything, yeeey
Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, yeeey
Oh free! Free, free, free your mind
Free, free your mind... free, free your mind
Free, free, free, free your mind
Oh, it's so possible, oh it's so possible
I'm telling you it's possible, I'm telling you it's possible

说的很好，不过呢像桌子说的，有很多装睡的人，说了也没用。来加拿大的大陆人，也许真的有被洗脑的，不过我看，大部分人还是清醒的。为什么有许多人明明知道专制的问题，反而拥护专制呢？比如习主席一家，在文革中没少遭罪，为什么到现在还在为老毛/文革辩护呢？ -ding_ding(丁_丁); 2013-1-15 {476} (#7999527@0)
说白了，就是在这些人的头脑里没有任何信仰，没有任何价值观，唯眼前利益说话。有的人来加拿大，遭到不少挫折，可能由于文化，语言等等的关系，觉得不舒服。觉得西方的民主都是伪民主，自己也没捞到啥好处，还是中国好。他们口口声声伪民主多么不好，中国的制度很好，为啥不回中国去呢？其实答案很简单，还是利益，回去他也没啥好处可捞。
抛开专制，民主不谈，我觉得中国最可悲的地方在于不管是统治权力阶层也好，底层百姓也好，多数已经没有了理想，没有了价值观，一味追求自我利益最大化。中国何去何从。。。
