"เทียนวรรณ" ความเป็นไทย ที่เผด็จการอำนาจนิยมและราชาธิปไตยไม่อยากให้จำ

เทียนวรรณ หรือ เทียน วัณโณภา เิกิดช่วงสมัย ร 3 ตายสมัย ร5 (2385-2458) เทียนวรรณเป็นนักกฎหมายที่มีหัวก้าวหน้าคนหนึ่งในช่วงยุคสมัยราชาธิปไตยในรัฐไทย เทียนวรรณมักว่าความให้คนยากจน โดยเริ่มเขียนงานเขียนเรื่องเลิกทาส เลิกบ่อน ต่อต้านคอรัปชั่น ส่งเสริมความเท่าเทียมของสิทธิสตรี สนับสนุนให้ตั้งรัฐสภาที่มีตัวแทนของประชาชน เรียกร้องประชาธิปไตย ส่งเสริมอุตสาหกรรม และการค้าคว้าทรัพยากรธรรมชาติ สนับสนุนให้รัฐจัดการศึกษาให้ไพร่ การปฏิรูปราชการเพื่อปราบการทุจริต โดยบางงานหนังสือพิมพ์ในสมัยนั้นก็ไม่กล้าลงให้แกเลยเอาไปพิมพ์แจกเอง

ภายหลังเทียนวรรณต้องโทษจากการถูกกลั่นแกล้ง ติดคุกคดีหมิ่นพระบรม และหมิ่น รมต เกษตรแบบไม่มีกำหนด และถูกเฆี่ยน 40 ที สุดท้ายขุนหลวงพระยาไกรศรีได้ช่วยวิ่งเต้นให้ออกมาได้ หลังจากติดคุกไปร่วม 40 ปี

ภายหลังจากออกจากคุกมานั้น "เทียนวรรณ" ก็ทำงานทนายตามเดิม และเป็นสำนักพิมพ์ "ตุลวิภาคพจนกิจ" ซึ่งเป็นหนังสือพิมพ์ที่วิพากษ์วิจารณ์อย่างเที่ยงตรง แต่ขาดทุนและปิดตัวลง

ในเมื่อ "สถาบันกษัตริย์" ก็คือ "มนุษย์ธรรมดา" มิได้เป็น "เทวดา" ที่จับต้องมิได้ แล้วจะผิดอย่างไรหรือที่จะปฏิรูปกฎหมายให้คุ้มครองสถาบันฯในฐานะของ"มนุษย์ธรรมดา" มิใช่คุ้มครองแบบ "เทวดา" ที่จับต้องมิได้

เมื่อครั้งที่คนเชื่อว่าสถาบันกษัตริย์เป็น "เทวดา" (ระบอบสมบูรณาญาสิทธิราชย์) กฎหมายคุ้มครอง "เทวดา" ในตอนนั้น ยังไม่รุนแรงถึงขนาดนี้ แต่ ณ เวลานี้คือระบอบประชาธิปไตย ที่สถาบันฯก็คือ "มนุษย์ธรรมดา" ที่อยู่ภายใต้รัฐธรรมนูญ

ท่านไม่สงสัยหรือว่าทำไมกฎหมายคุ้มครอง "มนุษย์ธรรมดา" ในระบอบปัจจุบัน กลับมีอัตราโทษรุนแรงกว่ากฎหมายคุ้มครอง "เทวดา" ในระบอบเก่า ?
