摘自博客“理论车间”
中国的现实是如此不堪，是因为我们没搞出真正的民主和真正的资本主义。在我们搞半民主和半资本主义时，我们得到的就是一种变态的资本主义，像我们在今天的中国经历的这一种，它使我们更水深火热。这时，橙色革命开始了。我们要得到真正的民主和真正的资本主义，一搞再搞，最后仍只得到很山寨的民主和很山寨子的资本主义在中国。这时，我们就会像今天的东欧人民那样惶恐：怎么办，如何让我们更民主、更真正成为资本主义的镙丝钉？我们像得了一种慢性结石头。我们等到那一天了，这一天比我们期望的还快地到来了呀，为什么时候我们身是得到的，却是这样一些结石？
白领和小资和资产阶级无良学者过完了一辈子，也不会明白这么一个道理：变态的伪资本主义、不三不四的资本主义和山寨子资本主义，其实也就是真正的资本主义。资本主义本来就是变态、伪、不三不四和山寨的。不山寨就不是资本主义。所以，我们可以说，今天的中国的山寨子资本主义场景和格调，就是真正的资本主义景观了，没有一种美国式的更标准更合格的资本主义的了。美国和欧洲搞的也只是很山寨子和很不三不四的资本主义！在中国，资本主义可能最真正！
所以，你今天在中国就用不着再去谈什么第三世界和后殖民和改革开放了。资本主义不需要改革开放后才搞才到来，它在伪共专制腐败下反而可以搞得更地道！

Today we observe the explosion of capitalism in China and ask when it will become a democracy. But what if it never does? What if its authoritarian capitalism isn’t merely a repetition of the process of capitalist accumulation which, in Europe, went on from the 16th to the 18th century, but a sign of what is to come? What if ‘the vicious combination of the Asian knout and the European stock market’ (Trotsky’s characterisation of tsarist Russia) proves economically more efficient than liberal capitalism? What if it shows that democracy, as we understand it, is no longer the condition and engine of economic development, but its obstacle?
And if this is the case, maybe post-Communist disappointment should not be dismissed as a sign of ‘immature’ expectations. When people protested against Communist regimes in Eastern Europe, most of them weren’t asking for capitalism. They wanted solidarity and a rough kind of justice; they wanted the freedom to live their own lives outside state control, to come together and talk as they pleased; they wanted to be liberated from primitive ideological indoctrination and hypocrisy. In effect they aspired to something that could best be described as ‘socialism with a human face’. Perhaps this sentiment deserves a second chance.
