Tang Xiao looked at the earnest young man before him, nodded, and said, "There is, of course, a huge difference between the two. Just as you said, those so-called liberals in the Modell Sector have no idea what they should do, nor do they know how to do it. To them, autonomy is the final destination, not the starting point. In fact, this is true of liberals across the entire Milky Way Galaxy."
The New Republic was precisely such a product... Tang Xiao thought to himself.
In the original storyline, after the Rebel Alliance successfully overthrew the Galactic Empire and established a new regime, they had no idea what kind of government they were supposed to build. As a result, once the New Republic was founded, it was nothing more than a loose mess, because all its member planets wanted planetary autonomy, leaving the New Republic unable to accomplish anything at all.
If you wanted centralized rule, then you were an Imperial remnant. If you wanted a parliamentary system where everyone sat down to negotiate, then you were trying to repeat the mistakes of the Old Republic.
The entire regime talked more about ideals and faith than administration and governance. Everything was just slogans, with no way to put anything into practice. How could it possibly work?
The result was that every planet spoke for itself and acted for itself. Although Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 were complete bullshit, at least one thing was right—when the New Republic's capital was destroyed, that regime instantly fell apart.
That was no exaggeration. Given the state of the New Republic at the time, such an apparently absurd outcome was actually inevitable.
To put it bluntly, everyone had only reluctantly gathered together to form the New Republic out of camaraderie and fellowship.
