Today, let’s discuss the reasons why civil society groups in Canada and Western societies seem so developed, active, formal , along with their inherent limitations, even negative energy?
First, let’s analyze why so many civil society groups have emerged in Canada and Western societies.
A truly responsible government should leverage its advantages in serving the people. It controls the entire region’s resources and assets, and although it doesn’t directly control individuals, it indirectly does, because to live, exercise rights, enjoy benefits, or fulfill obligations in a place, you need registration and local identification.
Second, it controls finances through taxation, managing all our taxes and material resources—everything immovable is under its control, and even movable property inside homes is subject to their regulation. So it naturally has the greatest capacity and should be able to do the most, even unlimited things. But instead, it abandons its responsibilities.
Because the government fails to fulfill its duties—despite collecting money from the people, it should work for them, but it only takes money without providing service. Some might say it does some things, but mainly it only builds infrastructure. As we analyzed earlier, the reason it only does infrastructure isn’t primarily for people’s happiness, mainly to maintain the so-called rationality or effectiveness of taxation. To preserve the value of the taxes collected, besides making the house itself self-sustaining, the external facilities are public areas that the government should handle.
So it only builds roads, water, electricity, and such. These are all to preserve value, and even to justify or increase taxation. It only does these things, and nothing else. This clearly violates the principle of balance between power and obligation, and it behaves like a parasite.
Since the government doesn’t do what it should, people have no choice, have to rely on self-rescue. The only way to do that is to form their own related groups.
More importantly, the government has many people, and it needs support from certain groups and communities. Any authoritarian or dictatorial society inevitably creates a hierarchy. People at higher or middle-upper levels tend to support the system to prevent the broader public from electing someone who truly represents the majority’s will.
Authoritarian societies always create hierarchies, and those in higher or upper-middle ranks tend to support the system to prevent the broader public from electing someone who truly represents the majority’s will.
Normally, when people form groups, they engage in economic activities like private businesses or large-scale operations involving living resources. But operating living resources at scale is difficult. Once you grow bigger, you need to hire workers, and hiring creates labor-capital conflict. Small-scale relations are easier to manage, but large-scale inevitably leads to various disputes. So these groups avoid for-profit activities, because profit-seeking creates opposition and conflict. They can only be non-profit. But being non-profit means no money, so what do they do?
They rely on government funding. The government, however, has its own calculations—it wants to use these groups to fragment the people, or to numb people and divert their focus. That’s why the government also supports these groups. These are the two major reasons for their emergence.
because, if government doesn’t do what he should or could, the people will have complaints and may even resist. So the government needs people to step forward, endorse it, stand on the front lines to block people’s resistance, and help deceive the people. That’s why it needs to use these so-called non-profit organizations, give them some money, and help them maintain basic operations.
With officer’s promise, once these groups are supported, they can carry out work according to his vision and the government’s requirements, targeting the people. The main task is to make promises to the people—It doesn’t have to be fulfilled, because the association is not a government and has no legal obligation.
of course. They also need people to donate because government funding is always limited. Although they’re not political parties running for election, they’re allowed to collect so-called membership fees. In the early days, with fewer groups, there was still a big market. Later, other people saw it as a way to gain both fame and profit, so they all joined in. Suddenly it proliferated everywhere, with mountains of factions. With too many groups and too few people, supply exceeded demand, making it very difficult for these groups to attract more participants or collect money.
its real significance was mainly twofold. First, it was responding to the people’s demands, because when people can’t rely on the government, they can only count on their own civil groups. Second, it was to serve as the government’s a persuasive talker, though the government would never openly admit that,and their reasons of pursuit of civil power.
These three reasons enabled its emergence. However, it is also constrained by these three aspects, making it unable to develop. In other words, being constrained from two sides already leaves it in a dilemma, but with three constraints, it’s sometimes hard to even turn around freely. Being constrained from three sides creates what everyone knows as the stability of a triangle. The result of this stability is that it can hardly develop or move at all.
The main pressure comes from the government. The groups want to get more money or more projects from the government, but that’s impossible to achieve. Why? Because their expectations of the government are too high—they assume the government will genuinely support the development of these civil groups. In reality, the government is just using them, and the purpose of using them is only to have them stand on the front line to defuse public grievances. Of course, as long as the people don’t directly threaten government officials, the government is unwilling to give more money. It just won’t say so openly. Instead, it will only delay and stall on the groups’ requests.
This delaying tactic in reforms is very effective in the West. For government officials, it’s excellent. They never outright reject you, so you always keep some hope. You keep revolving around them, building relationships, and acting subservient. On the other hand, each delay lets them stall for up to four years until the next election. Then they say, “You have to support me again, lead your industry and members to vote for me, guarantee my reelection. Then next term I’ll allocate funds to you.” This way they can keep delaying until their next reelection. After being reelected, they simply need to find a new list or new targets to use, and replace the original groups.
So these groups gradually realize they’ve been used by the government, but they don’t dare to completely fall out with it, because they have no other leverage to constrain the government. Therefore, these organizations can only turn around and place more hope on developing new members or collecting more money from existing ones.
The problem is that these poor people and families remain just as poor. After you raise the membership fees, they become even poorer. They originally hoped these groups would help them, but not only do you provide little help, you actually keep demanding more money. So they can’t afford it, and they even feel that these organizations are just cheating them out of their money—or worse, helping the government suppress them. As a result, the people gradually distance themselves from these groups, and many organizations see their membership shrink over time.
These two main sources of funding can’t be obtained, so they can only rely on their own potential. The problem is that the leaders and heads of these groups are generally not very good at business or economic development. If they were, they wouldn’t have put their main energy into running these groups. But since they’ve positioned themselves as a non-profit organization, given their interests and capabilities, they fall into deep frustration.
They want to pivot, but they have inherent deficiencies or acquired constraints. Not pivoting leaves them hamstrung on both sides, and continuing to operate is extremely difficult. The only option left is to give up? but they’re more unwilling to do so. This is why these groups continue to exist.
As long as the basic structure remains unchanged, there will always be soil and need for such groups. Everyone ends up in a state of deadlock. This is exactly the triangle formed by those three points we mentioned earlier. The stability of the triangle means no one can make any significant moves or changes.
In this triangle of stability, who benefits the most and wants this stable situation the most? Of course, it’s the government. The government wants this stability the most, right? So-called stability overrides everything. If a government uses this stability to lead the people in developing the economy and making society better and better, then stability makes sense—like building tall buildings on solid ground,must have stable foundation.
The problem with this Western model of stability is that it creates a dead end for the people. Under this stability, the government only sucks blood downward and exploits downward. It’s not like the governments of Eastern countries that develop upward, where stability is needed for progress. Sucking blood downward makes this stability worse than slavery. In a slave society, the slave owners still want to improve their own plantation because a better plantation means they live better themselves, right？
So the long-term result of maintaining these groups is that it only serves the government’s need for stability, while It misled people’s judgment and was not conducive to a thorough and scientific overall transformation, also wastes the group leaders’ sense of justice, organizational skills, and potential for innovation.
