Why can't China people subconsciously get rid of their official positions for thousands of years? Tell us the root cause and how it affects the formation.

Fundamentally speaking, it is the contradiction between productivity and production relations, and the contradiction between economic base and superstructure. System is also an important reason, which belongs to the category of superstructure.

Officials are also the personification of superstructure, the regulator of production relations, and have an advantage in production distribution and redistribution. In this way, because it is profitable, it forms an official standard.

At first, the so-called "officials" and "emperors" in primitive society played the role of serving the people purely, and emperors all abdicated. After the productivity is more developed, being an official is profitable, people like being an official, and the emperor has become hereditary. When the productivity is highly developed, it will return to the state of "primitive society".

Note: Like some developed countries in the west, the system is sound, and there is no longer any advantage in being a civil servant, so people don't like being an official very much. Therefore, the system as a superstructure is an important reason, but the system is determined by the contradiction between productivity and production relations.
