"Mr. Allen, are you here specifically to express your disdain for fellow Coordinators compatriots?" Lacuss·Clyne frowned subconsciously.
At this moment, she did not pretend to be girlish and innocent as usual, but showed extremely high political sensitivity.
Especially when he heard "creating a new monopoly class", his eyes burst out with sharp light.
Because the current governance structure of P. L. A. N. T is typical politics.
The group of people who gained powerful abilities through Gene Modification firmly control Supreme Council.
Ordinary Coordinators Let alone fair competition, it is very difficult to change one's own class through study and hard work.
Basically, one by one, the future has been determined by the existing system from the moment he was born, as well as the upper limit of what can be reached in the future.
This also means that from the perspective of social mobility, the Coordinators known as Newtypes is far inferior to the Naturals on earth.
As the daughter of Speaker Sigel Clyne, Lacuss is very aware of the huge problems facing P. L. A. N. T.
Putting aside everything else, just the fact that she had to marry Athrun and become his wife made her feel an inexplicable disgust and rejection.
It's just that I disguise myself better on weekdays so that no one else sees it.
Appreciating the solemn expression on the face of the girl with long pink hair, Allen smiled and shook his head, "No, of course not. I just want you to understand, please don't regard me as one of Coordinators, let alone me I am your compatriot. I am a human being, neither Naturals nor Coordinators. Beyond that, I want you to know that you and your compatriots are not innocent of the war that is going on right now."
"Not innocent? What do you mean! Do you think those people at Blue Cosmos are right to use nuclear weapons to attack agricultural satellites?" Lacuss·Clyne was obviously a little angry.
After all, she came all the way this time just to pay homage to the innocent civilians who were killed by Junius 7.
"I think you misunderstood. As for Blue Cosmos who made a fortune by provoking war, I think every one of them should be exterminated. The entire family, regardless of gender, age or child, even a newborn baby."
When saying these words, Allen's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
That kind of naked and undisguised murderous intention and contempt for life instantly made Lacuss couldn't help but tremble.
She couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying and crazy thoughts a person would have to say such a thing.
"You think I'm a dangerous lunatic, don't you?" Allen undoubtedly noticed the girl's reaction and asked with pursed lips.
"Isn't it? I really can't imagine that a guy who can kill a whole family so easily would be a normal person." Lacuss suppressed the fear in his heart and his tone became extremely stiff.
But Allen shrugged his shoulders indifferently and joked to himself, "What Sakura said is indeed right. You are really innocent and cute to a certain extent."
"Innocent?! Is this what she said about me?" Lacuss's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Because along the way, she very clearly felt Sakura's dismissive attitude towards her.
"That's right! Perhaps in your opinion, the abolition of the death penalty and the system of consecutive sittings symbolizes to a certain extent that mankind has moved from primitiveness, barbarism and backwardness to civilization.
This is a great progress and a manifestation of freedom, human rights and democracy.
But have you ever thought about it, the most primitive and instinctive impulse rooted in human bones is to continue to copy one's own genes and pass them on.
This also means that in order for future generations to live a better life and possess more wealth and resources, there will be many people who will take risks and engage in work that harms the interests of others and even kills them.
At this time, if only the criminal himself is punished and the relatives who enjoy themselves unscrupulously with the money provided by the criminal are not punished, can justice and fairness really be reflected?
You may say that the law will confiscate property obtained through crime through recovery.
But if the other party uses the money to change his or her class, or turns it into so-called "legitimate" income through investment, transfer, money laundering, etc., how should the punishment be imposed?
Obviously, there are no clear provisions in modern legal provisions.
Of course, one can also put it another way, that is, the ruling class, which controls wealth and power, deliberately formulated a legal system that is beneficial to itself.
After all, the state is just a tool of class rule, and the law is the rule that maintains the normal operation of the system.
I remember someone once said that when the law cannot bring justice to the parties involved, private revenge is legitimate and even noble from this moment on.
With the wealth and huge power controlled by Blue Cosmos, do you think they will really accept Trial one day? "
Allen explained his views on the law in an unhurried manner.
As a person who has traveled in different worlds for a long time, he never felt that the law could represent justice, nor did he feel that the law was something sacred and inviolable.
Just the opposite!
The essence of this thing is no different from things like human rights, morality, freedom, etc. It is just a tool.
Pick it up when you need it, use it when you don't need it, it's like a piece of used toilet paper, worthless.
Because what really makes the law work is never abstract concepts such as justice and fairness, but powerful violence.
Without the deterrence of violence, no matter how good the law is, it is just a piece of paper and no one will obey it.
Unlike most girls aged sixteen or seventeen who are full of fantasies about love, romance and the like, Lacuss knows very well that the man in front of her is right.
The power behind Blue Cosmos is the huge military-industrial complex behind Atlantic Federation.
They are the true ruling class of this country, and their influence on successive governments is simply unparalleled. The complex relationships and interest chains behind them are enough to make anyone who has peeked into Iceberg tremble.
To eradicate this organization, unless the existing ruling system of the entire country is destroyed, it is basically a daydream.
After a long silence, Lacuss finally couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "According to your statement, can it really be true that uprooting all the families involved in Blue Cosmos can resolve the conflict between Naturals and Coordinators and end this war with heavy casualties?"
"No!" Allen gave a negative answer simply. "Resolving them can only temporarily alleviate the contradiction, end this war, and maintain peace for a period of time. The most fundamental contradiction between Coordinators and Naturals has not disappeared."
"Then what do you think is the most fundamental contradiction between Coordinators and Naturals? Or what is the cause of the outbreak of this war?" Lacuss asked with a serious expression.
She began to gradually realize that the man standing in front of her did not seem to be looking for trouble.
Instead, I am sincerely discussing with myself about this war, about the reasons why Coordinators and Naturals are hostile to each other, and how to find a way to live in harmony.
Noticing the serious look in the girl's eyes, Allen immediately showed a "cowardly" expression and explained with a smile, "Since the birth of mankind, the nature of war has never changed. Perhaps there has been continuous progress in technology, strategy and tactics, from the initial hand-held sticks to the later swords, spears, muskets, Cannon, missiles, and energy weapons, after all, Root has never been separated from two things. That is the competition for resources necessary for survival, such as land, minerals, water, etc., and the concepts derived from them, such as technology and wealth. In addition, there is also the mating right that determines whether genes can be copied and passed on."
"Resources and mating rights!"
Lacuss was immediately shocked by these harsh words and his eyes widened.
"Hahahaha! Doesn't it sound harsh, or even makes you think that humans are like beasts?"
Allen couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Think about it, why in ancient times, almost every country or nomadic Horde, as long as its financial and military strength allowed it, would expand its scope of control as much as possible, and would not hesitate to massacre cities and annihilate people for this purpose?
What are they for?
The answer is that under the original agricultural and nomadic economic structure, land was the most important means of production.
Whoever controls more land can create more wealth and feed a larger population, allowing their country and ethnic group to thrive.
In other words, for a better survival.
The same principle holds true between Naturals and Coordinators.
Tell me, what do you think caused Naturals's hostility towards Coordinators?
Is it because the former is jealous that the latter is too good?
No!
No!
It is because the sudden appearance of the latter has taken up more resources in society, resulting in many opportunities that originally belonged to the former being taken away.
To put it simply, the emergence of Coordinators broke the randomness of the original natural selection of human genes.
And this change has caused the strong to become stronger and the weak to become weaker, and will eventually gradually evolve into blood-only theory and gene-only theory like the Dark Middle Ages.
It will lead to the absolute solidification of class, making it impossible for the poor at the bottom to change their social status through hard study and work.
So if you were a commoner at the bottom, would you choose to accept the situation and eventually your children and grandchildren would always be trampled under the feet of Coordinators, who is aloof and full of superiority and arrogance?
Or will they rise up to resist and destroy them completely, even if they pay the price of death?
Believe me, the appearance of Blue Cosmos is definitely not an accident.
Even without them, there will be other extremist organizations jumping out to resist Coordinators from the perspective of Naturals.
If the most fundamental contradiction cannot be resolved, even if ZAFT Army wins the war and gets an agreement it wants, wars will eventually break out again and again.
Of course, if you plan to completely eliminate billions of Naturals on the earth and establish a human world with only Coordinators, that is not a bad idea. "
No doubt about it!
Allen's words gave Lacuss an enlightenment, and he instantly realized how stupid and ridiculous his and his father's previous idea of promoting peace talks through war was.
Similarly, she also understood why Earth Alliance still had no intention of surrendering after losing a large number of fleets.
Why did those soldiers who were clearly instigated and used by Blue Cosmos act like crazy when they saw ZAFT Army, and were unwilling to surrender easily even if they suffered heavy casualties?
It's not these ordinary people who have been brainwashed!
But the existence of Coordinators actually threatens their most fundamental interests!
After thinking about this, Lacuss immediately hugged Haro in his arms, took the initiative to bend down and bowed deeply. "Thank you for your explanation, I think I have understood Root why this war broke out. If you don't mind, can you tell me how to solve this most fundamental contradiction?"
"Two methods. One is like what I just said, kill all the billions of Naturals on the earth, and let Coordinators inherit human civilization and continue to move forward. Although it sounds cruel, it is nothing to the natural world of the earth that has experienced several mass extinctions. As for the second method, it is to continue to develop Gene Modification technology and let the next generation of Naturals be born. all accept the transformation. If everyone is Coordinators, then the conflict will be alleviated to a certain extent. But before that, ZAFT Army must win this war, crush all vested interest groups including Blue Cosmos, and make the earth surrender unconditionally." Allen extended two fingers.
"Are these the only two ways?" Lacuss seemed a little unwilling to give up.
Because whether it was the first or the second, it was somewhat unacceptable to her.
Needless to say, the first one is to kill billions of people in one go, more than half of whom are old, weak, women and children. The challenge to the moral and psychological bottom line is simply extraordinary, and most normal people are unlikely to accept it.
Although the second option sounds slightly better, Lacuss knows that there are many die-hards on the earth, and if it is pushed forward forcefully, it will inevitably trigger a violent rebound.
By then, many people will die just from suppressing it.
This is what she doesn't want to see.
Allen shook his head slightly. "Sorry, from Coordinators's perspective, I have only thought of these two so far. If you can think of a better solution, that would be great."
"From Coordinators's perspective?" Lacuss's pupils suddenly dilated.
Because she is smart and has heard that there is actually a third solution to the fundamental contradiction.
That is, from the perspective of Naturals, completely exterminate Coordinators, or only retain a very small part of it and put it in the field of cutting-edge scientific research to shine.
"You already know the answer, don't you? Well, today's conversation will end here. If you are interested in this topic, we can find a time to chat. And I heard that you know a very far-sighted mentor, and you may be able to ask him if he can provide better advice. In short, you are one of the few people in the world who can potentially untie the knot. Come on, girl."
As the last word blurted out, Allen turned around and walked out of the room and closed the door, leaving only Lacuss standing there in a daze.
