[Zhongyingmei] An alien cub fell from the sky

Chapter 139 Civilization and Individuals

Jonathan's words scared everyone, but when you think about it... it's not impossible, is it?

If we start from the most essential issue, we must first understand what a country is.

Geographically, a country is an area owned by a regime.Politically speaking, the state is a tool of class rule, a machine for the ruling class to maintain its own interests, consolidate its rule, and exert violence on the ruled class.

From this point of view, the state is just like the law. It is not inherently sacred, nor is it inherently just, it is just a tool.

Going deeper, from the perspective of comprehensive social science and human geography, a country is composed of four aspects: territory, people, culture and government.

It just so happens that the Justice League is not lacking in these aspects.

Territories, to put it mildly, Diana had Paradise Island, and Arthur ruled the Seven Seas—the area of ​​the ocean is larger than all the countries on Earth combined.

Moreover, as long as it is unoccupied territory and is not occupied by means of aggression, then the establishment of a country is also a very legitimate thing.Reclaiming land on the high seas is no problem for the Justice League folks.

On a bigger scale, they can even set their territories on the moon or other planets.The Martians are almost extinct, but thousands of years ago, the Martian Manhunter was already the leader of the Martian Rebels, and it is not a problem to say that he is the leader of the entire Martian.The Justice League can easily find territories larger than the entire Earth.

The same is true in culture. In terms of cultural diversity, countries on Earth are far inferior to interstellar civilizations.

As for the people, this is only a concept.Just like the philosophical question of whether two grains of sand can be called a pile, whether a country is established or not has nothing to do with the number of people in it—otherwise, the superpower would be India instead of the United States.

Taking a step back, the Vatican, with a population of just over 1000, can still be recognized as an independent country. The number of Amazons and Atlantis will never be less than this.

Therefore, what they lack is only a government.

"Speaking of which, Paradise Island and Atlantis are originally countries. Since you are both called alliances, you can form a federation." Jonathan proposed an idea, "Just like the European Union. If it doesn't work, NATO will also OK. No need to define yourself as a small group."

"That's right, there is no such thing as a federation of countries and individuals." On the contrary, Hal was the quickest to accept it, after all, he was well-informed.If the scope is expanded to the entire universe, the country is just a form of system, no different from associations and companies.

In the final analysis, whether a country can exist or not, the key lies in... strength!Either you have enough force to protect your own interests, or you are poor and have nothing to worry about.

The Justice League is undoubtedly the former, and it is not a problem for the few veterans in front of them to exert their full strength and blow up the world head-on.

"You don't lack territory, force, and people. There's nothing wrong with establishing a country or a federation." Jonathan counted, "Even the economy is not lacking."

If you look at it from multiple perspectives, none of the Justice League is poor.Hal Jordan, who is the poorest on the surface, is also because the earth is too backward.

Among other things, as long as he is willing to do a little bit of buying and selling, he will be inexhaustible wealth.For example, buy a few point-to-point communicators in the universe - the kind that can be used across galaxies - and then auction them on the earth, at least hundreds of billions of dollars!

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration. A pair of communicators are not worth that much money. What’s valuable is what it represents, which is far beyond 5G communication technology. The international giants in the world will grab their heads.

There is also the pile of Kryptonian technology in the Fortress of Solitude, the seabed resources of Neptune, the biotechnology of the Martians, etc.

To be more direct, even if these are not counted, in human society alone, with the full support of the Wayne Group, it would be amazing.

In Jonathan's previous life, Apple was considered one of the richest technology companies in the world, or one that could be eliminated.In 2014, if calculated in terms of revenue, cash reserves, market value, etc., Apple was already the 20th largest economy in the world.

In 2017, it surpassed Sri Lanka to become the 13th largest economy in the world.

And there are a total of more than 10 recognized countries in the world, that is to say, this company has firmly ranked in the top [-]% of the world's countries in terms of economy.

In this world, Jonathan also invested in Apple, but unfortunately found that it is still a powerful company with a market value of more than [-] billion, but it is far from the status of his previous life.

Because companies like Wayne Group and Lex Group, which are favored by the will of the world and possess geniuses, are the protagonists of global business, and they defeated the well-known companies in Jonathan's previous life in many ways.

For example, there is not even a Hilton in this world. Before the Lex Hotel was born, the world's most famous luxury hotel chain was the Wayne Hotel.

"But it doesn't make any sense, does it?" Barry had already sat up from the water, "People are still people like us, it's just a name, which adds a lot of trouble."

The Flash has never cared much about these things. After all, he is the best-looking superhero in the entire league. There is also a Flash Museum in Central City.

Everyone loves The Flash, even the exclusive villain!

So Barry just spread his hands and let Bruce and Clark do it.That's how things always are anyway, Batman decides, and Superman does it.

Bruce was silent, he knew what Jonathan was going to say, but he couldn't stop it.

"There's a big difference," Jonathan explained, "so that conflicts between individual and collective wills can be avoided."

The so-called supervision of superheroes is essentially a conflict between individuals with extraordinary abilities and social collectives, a question of whose interests should be sacrificed.

There were similar cases in previous lives, for example, the genius hacker boy was forbidden to use any electronic products unless he was recruited.

But this world is different. Superpowers belong to themselves. A powerful individual can fight against an entire army, a country or even a planet. This is bound to make conflicts more intense and conflicts more intense.

Especially with the government.

The government is not stupid either. They seldom put up battles and fight with real swords and guns. More often they guide public opinion and shape conflicts between the collective and the individual.

But now, Jonathan has another solution.

If an individual has the power to counter an entire civilization, then it should no longer be regarded as an individual, but directly regarded as an equal civilization.

The rules of the game between civilizations are very different from those between collectives and individuals.

Therefore, as long as a federation or a national union like the European Union can be established, which can nominally be on an equal footing with other countries, many things will be much simpler.

"But we are still too small." Even Clark felt that this idea was a little unreliable. "Maybe there will not be more than a hundred people for a long time."

"There is no difference between a hundred people and one person," Jonathan said, "you are only 3 million people less than the total population of the United States, and the United States is [-] million or [-] million less than the total population of India. The gap must be much larger." ?”

But this world has never been decided by the number of people. The international status and discourse power of the two are completely different. It is all because of the gap in power and economy.

After Iraq invaded Kuwait, the United States went to uphold justice, but India did not dare to say a word.

Similarly, if there is a "country" stronger than the United States that upholds justice all over the world, it will attract a few criticisms at most, and few people dare to do anything.

But if you switch to a superhero, someone will dare to touch porcelain.

The difficulty of morally kidnapping a country or a federation is much higher than kidnapping a hero.

"Showing your muscles is not to threaten anyone, it's just to increase some bargaining chips on the negotiating table. At least, when you are on Earth, you will no longer be coerced by the government's coercion of public opinion." Jonathan had been thinking about this a long time ago It's okay, after all, Clark's life is likely to take this path, "Think about it, an interstellar federation unprecedented on Earth, maybe other countries will take the initiative to apply to join, and it will be more convenient to maintain world peace."

Everyone was a little excited.

Except for Bruce.

It is no secret that multinational giants manipulate certain small countries. It stands to reason that Bruce is the person most familiar with these operations.

So no matter how difficult it was, he was not unwilling to break the status quo.

Doing so can indeed reduce many troubles, but it is also easy to cause these powerful superheroes... Gradually stand in a certain dominant position.

From Jonathan's point of view, Bruce can understand, because Jonathan is a father, and everything he does is to protect Superman-the person on this planet who may need protection the least.

But from Batman's point of view, the hero in the Justice League who knows the most about humanity and suppresses his own "humanity" the most is the one who most hopes that the godlike teammates have humanity.

But if everyone else has made a decision, then Batman won't stop it, it just... needs to add more plans.

"Forget it, this matter is not urgent, you can think about it slowly," Jonathan waved his hand, "I heard that you are building the Hall of Justice in the Metropolis, do you want to make it a museum?"

"Probably." The others didn't care much about it, only Barry knew a little bit, "I heard that they plan to transfer some of the collections in the Flash Museum in Central City."

"It's a pity that the collection can't be donated, otherwise I still have a lot of things here," Jonathan looked a little regretful, "such as the swaddle that Clark used when he was a child."

"Hera, please let me see!" Diana, who likes children, has a twinkle in her eyes.

"Dad!" Clark didn't know what Jonathan wanted to do, but his intuition told him that it would be better to stop him first.

"Of course." Jonathan winked at Martha who was next to Diana, "Honey, I remember the sheets that Superman peed on for the first time, and the sheets that he peed on for the last time when he was eight years old are still there, anyway. Donate to the museum, or we..."

"dad!"

The furious Clark almost raised the water temperature of the entire hot spring by a few degrees.

2, but to be reasonable, the territory that the Justice League can theoretically own is larger than any country on earth
