[转载]图解“左派”与“右派”

国外左派多是对本国制度或发展困境的居安思危之论，而右派对中国的评论则多是丑化和唱衰的老调。我个人觉得很多都不着调。

以曹聪所举《纽约时报》ERIC X. LI文章《Why China’s Political Model Is Superior》（http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/16/opinion/why-chinas-political-model-is-superior.html?scp=1&sq=china&st=Search&gwh=050FDFF0E72CAAD8BA5D95141B3B281F）为例，“The West’s current competition with China is therefore not a face-off between democracy and authoritarianism, but rather the clash of two fundamentally different political outlooks. The modern West sees democracy and human rights as the pinnacle of human development. It is a belief premised on an absolute faith. China is on a different path. Its leaders are prepared to allow greater popular participation in political decisions if and when it is conducive to economic development and favorable to the country’s national interests, as they have done in the past 10 years.”、“The fundamental difference between Washington’s view and Beijing’s is whether political rights are considered God-given and therefore absolute or whether they should be seen as privileges to be negotiated based on the needs and conditions of the nation.”，最后断言“Indeed, faith-based ideological hubris may soon drive democracy over the cliff.”显然是危言耸听之论。国外经济发展困境不等于穷途末路，中国经济一路凯歌不等于内部没有危机。

除去一般的关于中国发展的“危胁论”和“崩溃论”外，我曾在五年前看到国外一右派媒体断言中国将出现“星星之火，可以燎原”的风暴，这么多年过去了，看来也只是一厢情愿的意淫。
