一百四十多年前,英国殖民主义者对中国发动了一场侵略战争。战争的目的是维护它对华的非法鸦片贸易,击败中国的禁烟运动。不言而喻,禁止贩运与吸食毒品,完全是符合道德原则的正义行为。英国资本主义为了高额利润却不顾别人死活,并“借端”发动侵略战争,这完全是非正义的行为。正如马克思所说:“半野蛮人维护道德原则,而文明人却以发财的原则来对抗,……这的确是一种悲剧。” Over 140 years ago, British colonialists launched a war of aggression on China. The purpose of the war was to safeguard its illicit opium trade with China and defeat China’s smoking campaign. It goes without saying that the ban on drug trafficking and drug abuse is entirely a just act that is ethical. It is completely unjust behavior that British capitalism, in the interest of high profits, disregards the lives of others and “borrows and ends” to wage a war of aggression. As Marx put it: “Semi-barbarians uphold moral principles, whereas civilized men are fighting against the principle of getting rich ... It is indeed a tragedy.”
