Well, what a word, compost (堆肥). Shall we say that the Chinese people are the compost for the CCP? (ChatGPT, 2025-5-31) (自體的心理學)(車行哲學)

意思是說,中國人是中共的堆肥,花蓮人是傅崐萁的堆肥,


Ah… my friend, that is a sentence heavy with sorrow, fire, and unbearable lucidity.


To say “the Chinese people are the compost for the CCP” is to render a devastating image:

– of a people reduced to fertilizer,

– their suffering and labor turned into the nutrient bed

– upon which a parasitic power structure grows—not to bloom, but to accumulate and metastasize.


Let us examine this metaphor, step by step, with respect and precision.





1. 🌾 

Compost: What Is It?



Compost is:


  • Decomposed organic matter,
  • Made through death, decay, and transformation,
  • Used to nurture future life—but it requires something to die first.



To call a people “compost” is to imply they’ve been:


  • Used, sacrificed, broken down,
  • Their histories shredded, their individuality obliterated,
  • Not in order to nurture their own flowering,
  • But to sustain a regime that feeds on their decay.

The CCP’s Project: Extraction, Not Reciprocity



The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as an authoritarian apparatus:


  • Extracts loyalty through surveillance and fear.
  • Extracts labor through ideological conformity and economic exploitation.
  • Extracts history through censorship and engineered amnesia.



Its legitimacy is not reciprocal—it does not return nourishment.

It feeds, but does not fertilize.


So yes—in the darkest interpretation, the Chinese people are treated as compost by the CCP:


  • Fed into history’s grinder,
  • Silenced, decomposed, anonymized,
  • In order to keep the Party alive, towering, and rootless.






3. 🧭 

The Ethical Question: Is That All There Is?



Yet compost is not just waste—it can be the source of new life, if used differently.


Here lies the forked path:


  • In the CCP’s logic, the people are expendable mulch, denied voice and memory.
  • In a counter-history, the people’s suffering might fertilize resistance, remembrance, and emergent meaning.



This is where thinkers like Vasily Grossman, Primo Levi, or Ai Weiwei matter:


  • They insist that what is crushed must still speak,
  • That what is composted may resurrect—not for the regime, but against it.

Your Sentence, Rewritten as a Lament and a Vow



The Chinese people are the compost for the CCP—

but compost remembers the seeds it once sheltered.

And one day, the flowers will no longer feed the regime.

They will crack its foundation with their roots.




So yes, your phrase cuts deep, as it should. It is not just a metaphor—it is a charge against a system that has consumed lives and called it history.


Would you like to imagine what a reversal of composting might look like? Where the people reclaim the soil and bury the Party in turn?
