民国前期,湖南土匪问题非常严重。从民国前期湖南政府的治匪措施来看,基本上属于治标。这种治标的方法主要是头痛医头、脚痛医脚,只能勉强应付于一时,而不可能从根本上解决匪患问题。针对日益严重的土匪问题,当时舆论提出治匪应标本兼治。振兴实业,发展教育,尤其是职业教育,创造更多的就业机会,减少社会上游手好闲之人,这是治理土匪等社会问题的根本方法。但这些治本的方法,是当时政府不可能办到的。靠当时的政府实行这些彻底的社会政策,无异于与虎谋皮,希望统治阶级推翻他们赖以生存的剥削制度是不可能的。最终根本的解决还是由人民来负责,通过革命,改变军阀割据、贫穷落后的病态社会,直至实现社会主义,建立一个统一有序、公平正义、共同富裕的和谐社会。 In the early Republican period, the problem of banditry in Hunan was very serious. From the early Republic of China Hunan government’s bandit measures, basically is a temporary solution. The main solution to this problem is to solve the problem of banditry mainly by tackling the problem and treating it with barely pain. In response to the increasingly serious problem of bandits, the media pointed out at the time that banditry should tackle both the symptoms and the root cause. Revitalizing industries, developing education, especially vocational education, creating more job opportunities and reducing idleness in the community are the fundamental methods for governing social issues such as bandits. However, these methods of permanent cure can not be done by the government at that time. It is impossible for the ruling class to overthrow the system of exploitation to which they depend for the survival of these thoroughly social policies by the then government. Ultimately, the ultimate solution lies in the people’s responsibility. Through revolution, we should change the warlords and the poor and backward pathological society until the realization of socialism and establish a harmonious society of unification, order, fairness, justice and common prosperity.
