推翻PAP的时刻到了著名清朝学者于右任的一篇文章----《亡国三恶因》，列有三点满清王朝必然会灭亡的原因。其一：民穷财尽，社会破产，国家破产。国有金，吝不与人，为他人藏。这里说的是老百姓贫穷，读不起书，看不起病，住不起房，物价飞涨，社会呈败落之象。老百姓为什么贫穷？因为"国有金，吝不与人"，财富不往普通人手里流动，国家与民众争利。财产归权贵私有，日夜不停地盗卖国家资源。劳苦民众虽竭尽劳作，所得不足以维持生计，两极分化严重。其二：善不能举，恶不能退，利不能兴，害不能除。化善而作贪，使学而为盗。行善的不能受到褒扬，作恶的不能受到制止，社会道德急剧下滑。官员虽多，但不作为，忙于吃喝嫖赌，聚敛财富，使"利不能兴，害不能除"。善恶本人兼而有之，好的社会制度能使坏人变好，坏的社会制度却把好人变坏。所以于右任说"化善而作贪，使学而为盗"，其实都是制度造成的。其中的"化"、"使"两个动词很生动地说明了官员普遍贪腐、社会道德败坏原因。其三：宫中、府中、梦中，此哭中、彼笑中，外人窥伺中、霄小拨弄中，国际侦探金钱运动中，一举一动，一黜一陟，堕其术中。这里说的是腐败政权只能用卖国的手段来维持自己的统治。贫富不均、两极分化、财产聚于权贵之家，才会有"此哭中、彼笑中"的现象。"外人"指列强，"窥伺"中华大地，伺机捞起好处；"霄小"指内奸，挑动拨弄，出卖国家利益。搞金钱外交，用通商拉拢外国政要"助纣为虐"，维持其祸国殃民的统治。"侦探"渗透国外华人社区，"金钱"收买外国政要，甚至行为举止，罢免升迁，都以金钱利益为动因，用这样方法维持其统治岂能不使社会败亡？其实不只是清王朝，任何一个政权，无论他多么貌似强大，只要具备了上述三点，决不会逃出灭亡的命运。那些只顾眼前利益，甚至为了一点利益出卖人格良心的人，为独裁者唱赞歌，到头来不仅得不到想要的利益，还会把自己搭进去，落得个身败名裂的下场。同样，当政者迷恋特权，以为只要牢牢掌握暴力和谎言，就能使江山永固，子孙万代永享奴役别人的幸福，这样做的结果只能得到接受民众审判的下场。 Related stuff: Ex-political prisoner speaks out in…
