关于持枪和拥有飞机大炮原子弹的区别,还可以参见 George Orwell 写于 1945 年的 “You and the Atom Bomb” 里的一段话,说便宜的武器让 P 民也有了话语权。
"And though I have no doubt exceptions can be brought forward, I think the following rule would be found generally true: that ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will tend to be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance. Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon — so long as there is no answer to it — gives claws to the weak." |
