The Great Harmony Society in Chinese Thought

The Great Harmony (大同, Datong) is an ideal social order envisioned by classical Chinese Confucianism in the 6th century BCE. Receiving its first systematic exposition in The Book of Rites (禮記, Liji), specifically within the chapter 'The Conveyance of Rites,' its core philosophical bedrock is the principle that 'The World Belongs to the Public' (天下爲公, Tianxia Wei Gong).

 

» When the World Belongs to the Public. « 

Central 天下為公 passage from The Book of Rites.

This concept advocates for the public ownership of power, rejects hereditary systems (世袭, Shixi), and promotes a strict meritocracy by selecting the "worthy and capable" (選賢與能, Xuǎn). Economically, it advocates the public ownership of goods and wealth, emphasizes that all members of society fulfill their respective duties, ensures that the elderly, the weak, orphans, and widows are cared for, and aims to construct a public order characterized by equality and mutual assistance for all.

 

Sun Yat-sen, Three Principles of the People.

 

Pre-Qin Confucians (before 221 BCE) regarded it as an institutional design opposing monarchical power and advocating that power be chosen by the people. Han Confucians (202 BCE to 220 CE) cited the Abdication of Yao and Shun as examples but still did not depart from the framework of monarchical designation. During the Sui and Tang dynasties (581 to 907 CE), the principle of "selecting the worthy and capable" gradually evolved into the Imperial Examination System, deviating from the initial concept of popular election. Neo-Confucianism elevated its ethical principles into the philosophical concept of "The Unity of All Things." 

 

» Guide them by virtue, keep them in line by ritual, and they will have a sense of shame
and align themselves with good. Guide them by law, keep them in line by punishment,
and they will avoid wrongdoing, but have no sense of shame. « — The Analects 2.3

»  Of the people, by the people, for the people. «

Sun Yat-sen, quoting Abraham Lincoln's famous formula to

express the core of his "Three Principles of the People" to Westerners.

 

In modern times, Kang Youwei reinterpreted the traditional ideal of datong as a vision of an egalitarian future society in his Book of Great Harmony (Datong shu), which he began developing in the 1880s and revised over the following decades. In 1906, Sun Yat-sen integrated datong into his political thought and the Three Principles of the People, particularly his Principle of Livelihood, which he associated with socialism, communism, and the realization of a society based on social equality and common welfare. 

 

» Promote the upright and place them above the crooked, and the people will submit. Promote the
crooked and place them above the upright, and the people will not submit. « — The Analects 2.19

 

However, this intellectual journey did not proceed directly from Kang's reformism to Chinese socialism. Rather, elements of the traditions were repeatedly reinterpreted by successive generations and reconciled with nationalism, Marxism, socialism, and the requirements of modernization. After the Mao era, this increasingly involved recovering traditional culture as a resource compatible with socialist modernization. 

 

September 28, 2026, Qufu, Shandong Province: China

commemorates the 2,577th anniversary of Confucius' birth.

 

Deng Xiaoping's formulation of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (SWCC) in the early 1980s established the basis for pursuing socialism according to China's particular conditions, preferences, and priorities. Under later leaders, especially Xi Jinping, this approach increasingly drew on historical and cultural traditions alongside Marxist principles, and Confucian ideals of social harmony, moral cultivation, collective responsibility, and datong became explicit components of the Communist Party's doctrine.

The Curse of Democracy | Russell Geoffrey Banks

How true it was when Plato said, "Democracy does not choose the best leader; it chooses the best liar." And this is why every single democracy fails eventually. Democracy does not reward wisdom; it rewards persuasion. The one who understands reality loses to the one who can manipulate perception. The honest lose to the charming. The dedicated lose to the theatrical. Plato said the heaviest penalty for decline in power was to be ruled by someone inferior.

 

 

 » Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated

form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty. « 

Plato, The Republic, Book VIII, around 375 BC.

 

And that was not moral advice; that was the law of power. When competence withdraws, manipulation advances. When truth is costly, lies become efficient. And when popularity decides authority, deception is always the strategy. Democracy does not collapse from the outside. It hollows itself from within, and when the lies finally shake the system, the ending is predictable. The people don't resist tyranny; they beg for it. That's how bad things have to get: they beg for it.

The Fate of the Great and the Little Satans, and a New Eurasian World Order

Suddenly, the world is watching something it has not seen in decades: a direct challenge to the military architecture that has dominated West Asia since the end of the Cold War. The question now is not only who will win this war. The real question is something far bigger: What if this war has just exposed the real power structure of the world?

» Wise people who know Iran, its people, and its history never speak to this nation

in the language of threats, because Iranians are not those who surrender. «

Imam-e Shahid Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei (April 19, 1939–February 28, 2026).

 

Most people living through history never realize when they are standing at a real turning point. They believe they are witnessing just another headline. But the war against Iran is the moment that reveals the limits of Western dominance. It forces us to ask whether the international order can survive in a world that lost faith in its legitimacy.

 

Empires do not collapse in one loud moment. They erode. They decay slowly beneath the surface until, suddenly, a crisis pulls away the curtains and reveals the truth. History works this way. The fall of great powers rarely announces itself clearly. Instead, it hides behind words like "limited strike," "defensive war," or "regional conflict." Sometimes a war becomes a revelation, and the war launched by U$raHell against Iran since February 28, 2026, may prove to be exactly that moment.

This is not simply another "Middle East conflict," but the moment when the global power structure began to crack. For more than thirty years, the world has lived under a single unspoken rule: Western military power guarantees global order. From Washington to London, from Brussels to Tel Aviv, the message was repeated again and again. U$raHell was unstoppable. Its fleets controlled the oceans, its bases surrounded the planet, and its dollar ruled the global economy. But history teaches a lesson: empires do not collapse when they run out of weapons; they collapse when the world stops believing in their legitimacy.

 

» No. We are waiting for them. We are ready for this war. «

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's reply when asked by 

NBC News on March 5, 2026, whether he feared a U$raHell ground invasion.

The Iranians have been planning for this war ever since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. They knew that, at some point, U$raHell would go after them, and their message to all the Arab Zionist lackeys in West Asia was brutally simple: if your territory hosts U$raHell bases, you are part of the battlefield. Neutrality is an illusion. Now, all these bases in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, and Cyprus have been reduced to rubble, and for all practical purposes Iran will need to take control of Bahrain, while Ansar Allah (the Houthis) will bring down the Saudi family dictatorship.

 

So far, the Iranian drones and missiles in use are old and inexpensive, yet U$raHell is deploying scarce and costly air defense systems, rapidly depleting its stockpiles in an attempt to stop them. The Iranians know exactly what they are doing. They have barely begun to employ their hypersonic missile arsenal, and most of Iran's underground bases remain inactive. This is an asymmetric war of attrition, and ultimately Iran—with the support of the Axis of Resistance, China, and Russia—will defeat both the Great and the Little Satan, liberating West Asia from the Anglo‑Zionist neocolonial yoke.

 

» Terror, corruption, and hypocrisy are united against us | The world has made itself ready for another world war | We hear the shouts of the world-eating Zionist Jews from the throat of the Saudi King | Takfiris, Wahhabis, and Daesh ISIS have joined together | All at the hands of the Great Satan USA | For as long as the divine spirit is in the heart of this soil our enemies will not be allowed to sleep a single night | Soon everywhere will hear the name of Hussein. | The legacy of Khomeini will become international | The arrogant have been disturbed from their long comfort | What has delayed the global Islamic Awakening? | Imam Khomeini said: Jerusalem is ours! | When you threaten us with war, our response is not weak yet | Our answer to you is on the tip of a blade | The concept of surrender is gone from our minds | In Syria, Iraq, Yemen we are ready for war. Our missiles will rain down on our enemies | Our Sejjil Missiles will drop in the heart of Tel Aviv | The voice of Haydar will roar from the Kaaba | The era of oppression will end. «

We have news that a Western-linked fuel tanker is burning in the Strait of Hormuz after being hit by Iranian Revolutionary Guard drones. For decades, Western strategists believed their fleets controlled it, but geography has always favored the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran does not need to occupy the strait; it only needs to threaten it. In an energy-dependent world, even the possibility of disruption shakes the global economy.

  

» Neutrality is an illusion. «

 

Military force can win battles, but it cannot manufacture legitimacy. Now the global system itself is changing. The world is no longer unipolar. China has become the largest manufacturing and trading power on Earth, and Russia has survived military and economic warfare while continuing to fight in Ukraine against the collective West. This war will give birth to a new Eurasian world order. But this is not about geopolitics only; it is civilizational.

 

» A civilization is not a collection of objects, but a synthesis of ideas and a movement of the soul. «

Malek Bennabi, The Conditions of Renaissance, 1960.

The Algerian thinker Malek Bennabi concluded that civilizations do not collapse when they lose material power; they collapse when they lose the moral idea that justifies that power. A colonial empire can possess air forces, fleets, satellites and nukes, but once its legitimacy erodes, its power is no longer leadership but simply coercion and perversion.

God is One, and the world’s prayers, hearts, and minds are with those who suffer under oppression—with the people of Iran, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Cuba, Venezuela, and every nation struggling for dignity. The collapse of the Great and the Little Satans is inevitable; their global colonial empire and their decadent, predatory civilization of the Antichrist are facing their final judgment. May their doom be swift, may justice prevail, and may God protect the faithful and grant them victory. Divine grace to Iran.
