Content introduction:
Education is a beautiful word, which is the natural need of human beings as a diet. Education is to make people understand the truth, not to make rulers rule them more conveniently and casually.
Modern national education, when it is democratic civic education, can help people become smarter and have the ability of self-governance; When it is the education of the subjects or the party and the people under autocratic rule, it makes the people ignorant and obedient, and they have neither the ability of self-governance nor the will of self-realization. We pay attention to national education, expect the first one and be wary of the second one.
This book focuses on three basic "government prototypes" related to national education: classical republic, modern democratic republic, modern autocracy or totalitarianism. My basic concern is how the difference between democracy and autocracy forms a completely different national education.
