Opinion on the universal value of the

Universal values, and in the country caused widespread controversy, experts and scholars Qi battle to express their views, and do not compromise, be called as a hundred schools contend. I am neither an expert nor an academic, of course, are not eligible to participate in contention. But as just an ordinary man, also Caomin view, so I'll talk about Cao Min's humble opinion.
In my opinion, universal values like "universal truth" promise, while the preachers of universal values, but also seems to be the resurgence of dogmatism.
During the revolutionary war, how to deal with Marxism-Leninism, our Party to form two major factions, one faction is represented by Wang Ming dogmatism, they deification of Marxism-Leninism, and that Marxism-Leninism is a one size fits all "universal truth "copying school on the list. The other faction is represented by Chairman Mao, Chinese Marxism-Leninism, Marxism-Leninism must be the reality of the Chinese revolution. In the initial dogmatism prevailed, and almost ruined the Chinese revolution. Later, Chairman Mao, as represented by Marxism-Leninism with Chinese accounting for a strong, constantly evolving, created Mao Zedong Thought, saved the revolution, from the defeat to victory, under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the Chinese revolution to achieve the final victory, established the New China. After the test of practice proved that is not a universal truth of Marxism-Leninism, the so-called universal truth that is synonymous with the absolute truth. Truth is relative, if the absolute truth, and will become a fallacy.
The preachers of universal values, the Western countries of democracy, freedom, human rights, rule of law and so on, to be exaggerated to a universal value. As the name suggests, is that this world has the whole world can universal values, with one size fits all "universal truth" is almost exactly the same, but also the absolute truth. Since there is no universal truth in the world, of course, there will not be a universal value. To promote universal values, is further behind in the dust of dogmatism, so that countries around the world, not with their own specific conditions, copying the copy on the list.
We can not be denied, Western-style democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law and so is the spiritual progress of human society, the crystallization will never eat less than say grapes are sour grapes, it should learn from the West to learn spiritual civilization. But the West's spiritual civilization is built on the basis of material in the West. Western's material after two or three hundred years of development before it formed, and its material civilization and spiritual civilization is followed step by step progress in the development, evolution to this day. As everyone knows, in the early stages of capitalism, and its democracy is incomplete, such as blacks, women, the poor no right to vote, but with the continuous development of material civilization was gradually improved up. Now that all countries the level of material vary according to per capita GDP, both four, fifty thousand dollars, the highest to reach more than 100,000 U.S. dollars, there are thousands, hundreds of U.S. dollars, there are more than 100 U.S. dollars, food and clothing yet to be resolved . Therefore, the spiritual level of each country, also vary. Different levels of material and spiritual civilization, forming a diversified world. This diversity of the world, can not share the same values that the universal value. If the applied mechanically bound to come crashing home. The United States have done many of such a stupid thing.
The first thing the United States to do stupid, that is, the implementation of a universal value in the Philippines. The Philippines during World War II, the U.S. military in the occupied territories, after World War II, the United States put the American-style freedom, democracy and moved to the Philippines. Notice the Philippines are developing countries, the material is very backward, how can we support our American spiritual civilization, so the community volatile, economic development, a long period of zero state. While in Asia and the Philippines are developing countries and South Korea, World War II, the material is basically at the same level, but South Korea did not copy the American-style freedom, democracy, and still insists dictatorship, from Syngman Rhee to Park Chung-hee and then to the whole Doo-hwan same origin, especially the dictatorship of Park Chung-hee dictatorship for 28 years to suppress the student movement four times, but maintained social stability and sustained rapid economic development and become one of Asia's Four Little Dragons. When the per capita GDP reached 6000 U.S. dollars, has begun to move toward democracy, after Chun Doo-hwan Roh Tae-woo to become the first elected President.
The second thing the United States to do stupid, that is, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, in Ukraine, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and other countries to launch color revolutions in order to promote their universal values, and eventually ended in failure.
The third thing the United States to do stupid, that is, the use of force to overthrow Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq in order to promote universal values. Although Saddam Hussein's regime was overthrown, but failed to sell out a universal value, but to the people of Iraq have brought untold disaster.
The preachers of universal values, you should think about the United States coupled with civil and military, and in the world, to promote universal values, and the result was "costing him a Madame fold soldiers", rats ran to the wind box, "2 be bullied" opposition of the people were at home and abroad, so "universal", but also generally throughout the world do! Jun advised not to take the dogmatic old, is not feasible, and have to go its own national conditions of the actual path.
