As a company with extremely close ties with China, Kangtao bought the Night City Council and obtained special privileges to be exempted from the obligation to pay income tax

. It also colluded with official organizations to At the same time, Taipingzhou can be acquired for only one dollar, and Wilton Holt also took political donations from Kangtao when he ran for mayor

Kangtao launched a very cheap Security robots. In the side mission Cyber ??Psychosis, you can see from the log that a boss will use this kind of cheap robot to replace human security guards and fire them

from the game. In the news, an explosion occurred at the Kangtao refinery, resulting in the death of more than 50,000 people. Kangtao immediately stated that he was not at fault and that the accident was caused by improper operation of the refinery

Basically Kangtao has done everything that capital companies in the world can do.

1. Because the world view of American cyberpunk is inherently one-sided, many empty words are divorced from reality, or only partially represent reality. Americans

As isolationists in the isolated island of North America, Americans are far away from the mainstream of the world on the Asian, European and African continents. The poor public education in the United States has allowed anti-intellectualism to flourish. Now

Many literary and artistic works in the United States lack a profound and comprehensive scientific understanding of politics, military diplomacy, etc. Even the ideas of the works of great masters

from the golden age of the 20th century can easily be deconstructed by future generations. Vulgarization.

As for excellent American social-themed works such as "Cyberpunk Edgewalker", "League of Legends Battle of Two Cities", "Batman" and "Joker", their limitations are also Right here.

This is not a problem of the author. They have seen the contradictions of social problems and have profound insights into them;

But just like Cao Xueqin who wrote "Dream of Red Mansions" in the secluded Qing Dynasty, he was influenced by Trapped in knowledge and theory with limited vision, they can only see social problems in their own country, but do not know how to solve them, do not know where the direction is, and do not know other human social models and paths. They become

< p>"Excess people" in the iron room of the information cocoon room. Night City, Gotham City, and Zaun City are just American metropolises such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles with a different look. Of course this is rare in itself, but at the same time they lack a larger perspective.

2. Of course, are there any companies that directly own the military? There are also examples, such as the East India Company of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries in modern times, and the United States and other United States in Latin America. But first of all, it was a special case. Most countries and regions are still ruled by modern nation-state machines; secondly, behind these so-called corporate armies are also state machines. The East India Company was eventually disbanded and directly replaced by colonial governors of Britain and other countries, United Fruit Also

it was the US military that was escorting the company and it was domineering, and because of poor management, it finally lost the ability of this violent machine and became an ordinary fruit company (Jin

Jeddah). Behind these examples, these military companies are essentially either state-owned enterprises or agents of the hegemony of great powers, rather than the hegemony itself. ?

Without the protection of the national government, military, gangs and other violent machine-armed forces, capital companies cannot accomplish anything. It can't even handle the workers' movement.

No matter how powerful the Jewish plutocrats are, they will have no choice but to run away or be killed when Hitler and Nazi Germany carry out massacres; the Jewish plutocrats become big and strong by cooperating with the military, police and other armed forces, or the Angsa elite dominates the United States Navy, land and air force, or the Israeli army.

In this regard, current political worldviews such as Japanese cyberpunk are more realistic. After all, Japan itself is an East Asian-style big government bureaucracy.

The ninth section of the public security department where the protagonist of "Ghost in the Shell" works is the military arm of the civil service system directly under the government.

3. In works such as "Detective Conan", "Aki

Ra", "Patlabor", "Wolf" and "Library Wars", they have played an important and even leading role. They are various military police

and other state machines. Although Japan and South Korea have chaebol oligarchic economies, chaebols can only dominate the economy, and political and military power is firmly in the hands of the state's violent machinery. The only difference is whether there are troops stationed in the United States or military police in Japan and South Korea, but it is not in the hands of the chaebol. In fact, Japan's 20th century leftists and other new-thinking intellectuals, writers and directors, Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Oshii, Mamoru Otomo, Katsuhiro Tomino, Yukiyuki Tomino and other creatives have been influenced by Authors who are influenced by European and American Western civilization, Japanese traditional culture and Soviet left-wing theory have more open and cutting-edge creative ideas.

Even in the "Ghost in the Shell" series such as Morikamiyama Oshii and others, they will not regard cyberpunk as just a company in a city

The problem of the binary opposition of the poor, but Let’s think about it in the context of Asia-Pacific countries. In addition to corporate chaebols, poor gangsters, and national government troops

Police officers, intellectuals, populists, refugees, illegal immigrants and other forces; Japan, the United States, China, Russia, etc.< /p>

The complex game of diplomatic interests between various countries.

Therefore, Japanese cyberpunk has more thoughts and explorations, unlike American cyberpunk, which is just limited to the binary opposition of good and evil between rich and poor in a city, but cannot give a road plan. ?

4. Therefore, when class contradictions truly intensify to the level of war and revolution, the subjects of the proletarian and bourgeois revolutionary wars are not the capitalists and

workers themselves, but represent these two classes. Group interest demands form a war between armed violence machines such as the national army, guerrillas, and so on. China

The civil war of the Communist Party of China and the war of liberation were not between capitalists and company security guards holding guns, landowners returning home and regiment training holding guns, and striking workers holding guns and farmers holding guns

War (that is only auxiliary), but a war struggle between the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, various warlords and other state machines and armed forces organized groups

.

I don’t like to spray my personal ideas by mistake

The problem with Kang’s theory in 2077: AI

Kang’s theory is to eliminate those with advanced productivity and those with backward ones. Then there is productivity that is more advanced than all human beings: AI

It is so advanced that the torpedoes launched by humans are out of control and cut off global shipping, black walls are built around the world to shrink intranets, and large companies use human lives to mine the technology of AI.

Skills are treasures.

For people, although there are side effects, pretending to be a prosthetic is better than not pretending, and the advanced is better than the weak. In terms of productivity, robots, stimulants and automatic hormone regulation

It’s really useful. The company is not stupid. Please refer to David and V for violence.

5. V is the talent of the protagonist. Otherwise, if you challenge Adam with the same talent, you will have to be physically stronger than him.

People will go crazy if they install too many prosthetics, but AI doesn't care. Prosthetics are just its hands and feet that can be installed as much as it wants, and productivity violence means it is stronger than humans.

Then this thing can still be converted from a human: Ultra

Now the question is, does Kang want to admit that AI is equal to a human?

If not, then At the core of Kang's theory, the special commodity labor force possessed by people is no longer special, and the theory does not exist at all.
