國家級皮條客:走出日島的人肉輸出邏輯
「國家生存」這種掠奪性的邏輯,是民族國家歷史中反覆發作的感染病。日本輸出「唐行小姐」用肉體潤滑帝國齒輪固然驚悚,但其他國家也曾為了平衡帳目,玩過類似的「生物體操」。在國家的冷酷計算中,公民往往只是一種會走路、會工作、會流血的貨幣單位。
1960 年代的韓國經濟凋敝,為了換取點燃「漢江奇蹟」所需的關鍵資金,當時的政府玩了一場人肉抵押。透過與西德的協議,數萬名韓國礦工和護理師被送往歐洲當「客工」。這些年輕男女實質上是國家為了換取商業貸款而交出的擔保品。他們在西德的煤礦深處與病房中辛苦勞作,在 60 年代中期,他們匯回的外匯竟然佔了韓國出口總額的近 10%。國家將青年的未來拿去質押以換取鋼鐵廠,證明了現代繁榮的基石,往往是用窮人的骨髓澆灌而成的。
即使是自詡文明頂點的大英帝國,也曾執行過一種更精美、卻同樣殘酷的人口清理:英國「家園兒童」(Home Children)。在 1860 年至 1940 年間,超過十萬名來自貧困家庭的「多餘」兒童被強行送往加拿大和澳洲等殖民地。國家與慈善機構將這些孩子視為必須卸下的「負擔」,以及殖民地農場急需的「資源」。他們被剝奪了身份與家庭,被送去填補帝國邊疆的勞動力缺口。
無論是剛起步的民主政體還是全球帝國,其模式如出一轍:當「集體」感受到債務的飢渴或擴張的野心時,個人永遠是菜單上的第一道菜。
