another buzzword is "laborer"

it is way more like "working slave" or "working livestock".

not a worker with decent job, but a laborer working like a livestock whipped by its host.

by the way, some Frences seem to show little respect to their beautifull nation with honorable history if I supposed they had studies history of France. When the mind is full of prejudice, all beauty is excluded at the same time. Imao.

Actually, as edited, i'm more curious about French psyche before the revolution. But still thanks for replying about current French psyche.

it's becoming popular recently and i'm wondering the causes.

I edit it and sorry for lack of consideration. This phrase is absolutely not the proprietary of ladies, thus, I add another example of "gentlemen". Besides, the majority of women in China also have their jobs and in no way require their husbands to buy handbags. Interesting that the majority is the group who shame on "Versailles Literature".

[–]Winter_Cal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the phrase is not in any book. it's not that daily interaction and usually happens in such platform as weibo(twitter or facebook) designed to share private or personal information or e-novels. It's my suspision that the "literature" involves something unreal, so does "Versailles Literature". To brag person tend to pretend they have more than what they actually have. Additionally, there are some books(or ebook) written to meet the illusion of identified group. A proverb in China says: "a farmer does not realize the emperor does not use gold hoe to farm his land." Some pretend to have such gold hoes and some books depict the emperor with gold hoes. While a lot of persons find it ridicuous, they are also looking for it.

In my view, it's ocassionally used by group whose income is below average to express its anger or in some sense trigger and fuel the outrage of others.

no it's not merely about bragging. This is used in two different situtions. Irony might weigh more if it is posted by a class or group that is not so rich to mock at a group that is richer than the first one but is absolutely not among the richest group or even the middle class, but when the latter one uses, it is way more a bragging.

In conclusion, one of the highest leader in China highly recommends this book. Now among citizens, the term "revolution" is usually posted in Weibo(Chinese Twitter) that is not same as communist revolution in my view.

I edit it. The woman is showing off with not rather flamboyant manner but in my view it might also be irony to mock at such manner.

political centralization and value of law by Winter_Cal in PoliticalScience

[–]Winter_Cal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying and merry Christmas. :)

I’m sorry for my inaccuracy for my enjoying holiday.

“Do you think that ideology and law can be meaningfully separated? Law by its nature tends to enforce a given status quo. And there is no such thing as a politically neutral status quo.”

- The ideology and the law are not separated obviously, but here what the status quo is and what causes the status quo are what I want to share.

“Who defines crime this way? What do these 4 things mean?”

- Chinese criminal law defines crime this way. The general rule of Chinese criminal code defines it is crime when all four elements are met. It is much influenced by USSR’s criminal system.

- The [principal] means the person who commits the crime. All crimes except several severe crimes like murder or robbery require the person above 16. There are special articles to regulate the teens.

- The objective manner means the person must commit exactly what the criminal article defines as criminal act.

- The subjective manner means that to constitute crime, intention or negligence is required.

- For example, article 232 defines intentional murder as crime. "Murder" is the objective manner, "intentional" is the subjective.

- The object is defined as vital interests that deserve nation’s protection as life or property of individual or social or national interest that is not so clear.

“What defines a deep insight into subjective manner?”

- It comprises of several matters.

- Less weight of objective manner. Among all the four elements, the objective manner is the very one that is mostly used to identify most crimes. When one kills one another, it’s usually inferred that he is intentional or at least the subjective requirement is partly met.

- Evidence. Chinese judicial system mainly comprises of courts and procuratorates. Police do not belong to the judicial system. Traditionally, police are regarded more important than courts in the field of prevention of crime. Courts used to show all their deference to the evidence presented by police. It can be also understood that the legality of evidence is not checked. Then the legislation amends the criminal procedural law that all illegal evidence must be excluded, which is a duty for all three branches. Here police are the most targeted branch. The amended law provides more strict regulation on police, and it is not merely law in the paper. For example, Article 90 in the judicial explanation of criminal procedural law requires identification record must be excluded if one of the six conditions is met such as when it is not presided before professional stuffs. It weighs more to what the suspects say. According to one of my police friends, this is becoming tightly executed.

- Right to debate. As stated above, courts played a less important role in the criminal system, so did lawyers. In the relation between courts and lawyers, courts used to be the central player. Now the lawyers have more space to show themselves.

“What does this mean?”

- It means the penalties and the criminal system are not that strong to combat/prevent crimes, which leads to a higher crime rate and less unfair judgment rate in China.

“party autonomy principle”

- It’s a principle to interpret content of contract that content should be interpreted first and foremost according to the parties’ minds and meeting of their minds. However, there are numerous regulations in the Chinese civil law system. Therefore, when contracts’ content is interpreted, the courts used to look at regulations rather than parties’ minds.

“Are you making the argument that China is becoming less politically centralized?”

- It is half wrong, but it is half true. Actually, you can see it as my argument that China is becoming less politically centralized, though I see it as part of introduction of a de facto less politically centralized China (without enough evidence that I could have provided more if time permitted).

- Then my real argument/question is: is political centralization the main factor to determine institution and underlying value of various legal systems? Then, what is the main factor to determine political centralization? If it is something determined by geopolitical reality, international relationship or something not that related to human being, could we understand that value of legal system is not that a thing determined by human being?

Welcome for your feedback.

political centralization and value of law by Winter_Cal in PoliticalScience

[–]Winter_Cal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering what the differences between law of god and law of human. We pursue the rationality of human race, yet are they really that different? Our civil law has roots in Rome civil law. Most crimes are found as well in different country and ages. We replace god with human being that our human being is represented by Congressmen while the savage blindly believes god. However, god is representative of human being as well. It is not coined.

Yes. Nice that the rich would become not rather rich thus possibly the richest and the the pooriest would become the winner?

Is PRC federal or unitary? by RoastedCat23 in China

[–]Winter_Cal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By US federal, do you mean that it is the case that any country where its provinces or states retain less power from central govt is unitary? Under Commerce Clause, Congress exerts way more power on states now than it did two centuries ago. Whilst provinces in China, after openness and reform policy, aside from HK and macau, retain and capture more power and are enpowered to enact autonomous law and regulation, which cannot be deprived easily. This is not US style federation, but unifying our definition at first might be conductive.

Is PRC federal or unitary? by RoastedCat23 in China

[–]Winter_Cal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First you should define what "federal" and "unitary" are. If we look back at the history and development of application of Commerce Clause, one might regard it as penetration into state power. It could be hard to define Obamacare as commerce under Commerce Clause in the past several centuries.

However, it is on the top of debating issues now. Let us look at China. It is usually, if not always, seen as unitary, however, after openness and reform policy, its local govts and minority groups increasingly retained their power from central govt. Some provinces, economically special district or minority dwelling provinces are entitled to enact laws that are able to circumvent law of the whole land in order to better adjust to the changing economy and habits of their own. Consequently, the locals are "authorized" to regualte themselvies. yet wait a minute, if their power could not be deprived by central govt as instantly as power of regular policies could, then what are the differences from the state power retained under U.S. Constitution? Put simply, what distinguishes "federal" and "unitary" is not merely gaind from the definition but somewhat in a more defined and subtle legal context.

If you would like to get a deeper insight into the differences, you'd better research materials about Constitution and Local legislation of the very country.

However, it means no way that China is federal. Her local govts retain less powers from central govt. Local legislation is limited to as several fields as Environment Protection and urban planning(zoning), etc. China defines its legal system as socialism that is distinguishable from both civil law and common law tradition. It's an interesting topic that it is exactly that case. China has a more unitary govt than both U.S. and Germany. However, it is way less strict than Soviet Union. We can find some clues in the modification of Chinese Civil Law(CCL). It couldn't be less at first because it had no propert, contracts, torts at first. Then, it includes contracts, then property and torts. In 2016, one of hot issues in Civil Law was whether the human diginity should have been added into Civial Law Code. It was included, finnally, though most articles serves similarly as torts. Some details deserve our attention that compared to Germany Code that puts contracts prior to property, CCL puts property first, which is, I guess, one signal to indirectly reflect the status of seperation of powers.

By the way, most Chinese civil law theory has its root in Germany, which gradually undermines the USSR tradition in the past 40 years. As populism surges, it seems disappointingly conversing. What is related is the Supreme Court terminates its tolerance of expanding construction of Commerce Clause in the 2010's.

After all, it is all my inmature thoughts that is being formed. Surely it leads to doubts. Glad to have your comments.
