"In the life of the GDR, there is no space that Stasi cannot indirectly or directly participate in the form of'political cooperation'."

As one of the state machinery, the secret police have the same duties as the army and police. Yes, but because of its secrecy and freedom from legal procedures, it is almost every ruler's favorite tool, but it is often the ruler who creates the secret police, but ultimately cannot control this self-expanding monster.
The secret police is as old as the human desire for power. The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had "Embroidered Clothes Yushi". This title can not help but reminds people of the famous "Jinyiwei" of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there are even more notorious things factories, but the irony is that the purpose of establishing the East Factory is to monitor Jinyiwei. . In order to restrict the ever-growing East Factory, the emperor had to establish a more powerful West Factory. And when the east and west factories were still big, there was even an expert factory that could monitor Jinyiwei and the east and west factories.
This strange circle is actually very simple: when a group can ignore a rule and exist, after experiencing the taste of privilege, he must want to expand to ignore all the rules, but in the end he can only go towards destruction or self-destruction.
Although the later rulers may understand this truth, the temptation of power is really too great, and they still started to raise this monster. At the beginning of the establishment of the CCP’s special department (Jiang did not establish his own spy agency four years later), Zhou proposed the principle of prohibiting party reconnaissance. Zhou hoped to establish an intelligence agency dedicated to foreign enemies, but for the ruler There is no distinction between "internal enemy" and "foreign enemy". When someone tries to separate the internal and external agencies, it will eventually lead to a contradiction between the two. In Chinese and foreign history, the conflict between the Central United Army and the CIA and the FBI The struggle for power has proved this point. When it comes to China’s secret police, most people first think of the Ministry of National Security. In fact, strictly speaking, the internal security team should be the domestic security detachment, which is subordinate to the dual leadership of the National Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, but What does this have to do? Is there really a difference between Yiwai and Annei for them?
People are often surprised that the United States will control intelligence agencies for half a century, and eventually become the overlord Hoover. Although Hoover has been in power for a long time, there are special reasons: World War II and the Cold War, but you must know that this happened when the democratic system was perfect. America.
The development of the secret police in totalitarian countries has reached its zenith. During the Cold War, the Eastern Group not only had the fearful KGB and Stasi, but also a monster that integrated the police, the intelligence bureau and the secret police-internal affairs. During this period, the power of the secret police reached its peak and set several records-Stasi of East Germany secretly investigated one-third of the country’s citizens, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs under Beria’s publicly owned His own armed forces, in fact, after Stalin’s death, Beria was only one step away from the supreme power.
The Russian armed forces to this day also include border guards, internal guards, forces of the Federal Ministry of Security, government communications forces, Federal Security Directorate, The Russian Federation Railways, Civil Defense Forces, State Fire Department, etc., are of various types.
China's armed police force was actually established by referring to the internal affairs force of the former Soviet Union. Its predecessor was the famous Chinese People's Public Security Central Column.

When fighting against special crimes, such as underworld forces, terrorism, and external spies, the role of the secret police cannot be replaced by ordinary state tools. But like when you are monitoring the criminal on the opposite tall building, a beautiful woman next to him is bathing, can you hold yourself? Notice, Big Brother is looking at you with his satiny eyes.

    The tone is too gloomy; the tone is too subdued. Then I know that politicians are basically good actors, with one set on the surface and one set on the inside. And then you know that when your desire to indulge your rights grows infinitely, you can only brutally kill the bud of love that is budding in your heart. Is it to love yourself, or to destroy yourself?
