中共治國︰批評、沉默、讚揚、謊言 CCP's Way to Rule: Criticisms, Silence, Compliments, Lie

不管是否如網傳般是柏拉圖名句，但的確是佳句︰

如果尖銳的批評完全消失，溫和的批評將會變得刺耳。
如果溫和的批評也不被允許，沉默將被認為居心叵測。
如果沉默也不再允許，讚揚不夠賣力將是一種罪行。
如果只允許一種聲音存在，那麼，唯一存在的那個聲音就是謊言。

This might not be from Plato as many claim online, but it is so damn true:

If sharp criticisms stop to exist, mild criticisms become screeching.
If mild criticisms are not allowed, silence is seen as ill-intended.
If silence is no longer allowed, compliments less than fervent become criminal.
If one and only voice is allowed to exist, that single voice is a lie.
