──致湯家驊議員的公開信


公民黨立法會議員湯家驊,於本(三)月十四日,在港台英文節目《給香港的信》中,再次促請中共政府,與他有份參與的「 終極普選大聯盟 」對話,否則香港的「 溫和 」民主派將失去支持,使更多年輕一輩加入激進的政治組織如社民連 (radical political parties like the League of Social Democrats ),令社會出現更多示威和抗爭,將不利香港長遠的繁榮穩定,更不符合北京的利益。


在評論湯議員的言論之前,容我們先引述時事評論家馬家輝教授的一段文字:「 所謂『激進』的英文是 radical,在思想層面上,這不算是個壞名詞,甚至還是好的……馬克思說過,radical 就是 back to basics,也就是『回頭探索現象的基本根源』,所以在解除戒嚴前的台灣,radical 被譯為激進,但到了解嚴後,已被普遍改譯為『基進』 」(明報,A08,2010年1月19日 )。

按此一說法,湯議員的思想,看來還處於一些人殘存的思想戒嚴階段。當香港人為中國呼喊民主、人權、和平、公義的口號,對中共而言,都是要求它是從根本 或本質上作出改變,都是很radical 的,因此無論我們要求的普選是 2012,還是 2020,只要提倡廢除功能組別,無論你湯議員是屬於「溫和」民主派還是「 公投派 」,在中共眼中,都是一般激進。


所以,當聽到湯議員在《信》所說,不理解北京為何連民進黨也肯與之溝通,卻對他這些從無公開反共的民主派人士不瞅不睬,我們不禁失笑:政治溝通必須以平等作基礎,惟湯議員不選擇以國民的尊嚴向中共抗爭,而是以臣民之態哀求極權主義者開恩賜予民主,除非湯議員能對劉曉波、譚作人等人的判監不聞不問,並認同當年中共果斷採取措施平息了「 一九八九年春夏之交的政治風波 」,北京或許會把你視作「 起義來歸 」,否則只有加入民建聯,才有望踏出與北京的「 溝通之路 」。
