Introduction. Rings Of Almanzora

INTRODUCTION

RINGS OF ALMANZORA AND REVCON

Often rulers are forced to recruit new officials from the common people. Give them the nobility for years of service. And then the children of these new nobles overthrow the ruler. What ingratitude! This happened, for example, in Russia. It was not the bourgeoisie that overthrew the last Russian Tsar. The bourgeoisie only helped. They created an Alliance with young officials.

Moreover, when the revolutionary government was already recruiting new officials, these officials again forgot that the revolution had given them a start in life. Of course, the monarchy could be replaced by the impersonal power of “scullery maids”. But the third generation of these peasants, the grandchildren of Soviet officials ( descendants of “scullery maids”), again “thanked” their native Soviet power. What black ingratitude! And what a short memory. Even today, dirt is being poured on the revolution from the mouths of the descendants of past commoners, the great and successful grandsons of the first Soviet Directors and intellectuals. According to the scenario of all revolutions, a revolution turned everything upside down and again recruited ungrateful commoners. Gave them everything their ancestors never even dreamed of. And their grandkids forgot everything… What is this? Is this the law of ingratitude?

The Tsar also had old officials working for him. But they were not enough. What was wrong with the ruler and the government?

There were obviously not enough officials. The ranks must change, rotate: some officials grow, rise in the hierarchy, get a high rank. Others, the young, come to replace them. Generations change generations. And the new party of young people and officials is growing in number together with the country. The country expands in width, and the economy gets depth. Officials multiply in number along with the growth of the economy and the width of new problems. After all, the country is growing, and the Empire is expanding. The economy is becoming more complex. New people, the most capable, are recruited trained right from the bottom, and they are being pushed forward. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with that. The process of recruiting fresh personnel is not necessary. Everything is fair and progressive. There is nothing wrong with this set yet.

But here comes a moment, and it is collected from a set of half-moments that these new cadres or their children of these new ones raised from the bottom together with the progress so to speak and the development of the state in width and depth, begin to resent something, show discontent, fuss, murmur. Appear populists then the revolutionaries, then by the terrorists. Everything goes to waste. What is it? A lot of work. Enough for everyone. But there is some dissatisfaction—first quiet, peaceful, then clear and bloody.

Here’s the thing.

The fact that the traditional model has such a feature. It forms rings. Hierarchy rings (Revcon’s rings). Because the traditional regime and, above all, the traditional people cannot exist without hierarchy. The traditional world cannot exist without castes. These are the highest privileged circles that are ossifying time after time. The ring is superimposed on the ring. After the period of the elite’s emergence, its justification on the ring and then the justification of rights to everything: there are also subordinate lower castes. Elitists do not allow a stranger to go up to them, and they repel the upstart. They close the door in front of him. These are castes. The Brahmans let upstarts with them in only for great merit. All upstarts would be needed to work hard to please the priestly caste.

And only the highest ruler would not wait, and he supported any talent. He raises a nugget, the most unusual of the Sudra caste, because the Supreme ruler of the state is the most important priest of the tradition, the chief Brahman of the community. But in this time, palace people, the servants, just do not let anyone in. They bristle against each new batch of competitors. Rituals, introductions, bail, even small laws, often even informal, unsigned contracts, are repeated every time a new batch of people wants to enter the golden ring. Even if the so-called revolutionary Republic replaces the monarchy and the General Secretary and Politburo change the Tsar and his Ministers, it will be an old picture or another ring. Thus, the same caste system arose under the Soviets.

“The son of a General should be a General” — this is the motto of traditional customs and all the rings of the rite. That’s why the children of the new nobles (or Communists or Democrats) knocked their foreheads on the cherished doors where they were strictly forbidden to enter. If there is already a caste system, a new Guild organization, then only a riot would help here. These revolts in the form of revolutions have occurred till now. Because of the traditional society, the caste world has lived like this for centuries. And the country is also the Empire must expand. There is no indication of distinctions in the law or even in the Constitution, but there are! And all the traditional people — Zerefs, Zeremids, Remids admit it and expect that the traditional people, the predecessors of the new party of Zerefs, Zeremids, Remids will create these rings of a hierarchy for which newcomers will not get. And then comes the fuss and new discontent.

What do we have? The children of young nobles or the young proletarian intelligentsia want to overthrow: the first the Tsar, and the second the General Secretary. Change the name and signage; nothing changes the traditional people remains true to themselves. The traditional people, I repeat, form castes. In creating the rings of the hierarchy, they have no equal. In fact, no one can get to the top, or there is already an opinion that no one can get to the top. Gold rings have already been cemented with calcium from tradition.

That’s when the people stop listening to the local leaders but first of all the teachers. The crowd loses their real elite and authorities.

We start talking about Remid.

It Remids or the old authorities have to replace the disgruntled Zerefs, Zeremids, Refags, and other troublemakers — the new generation from the bottom. Time will pass, and some invisible cycle will end. And from the new people in power, an entirely new revolutionary elite, a circle of rings will be formed. The new, now old revolutionary elite will become a hindering factor. And now, other provincials will crowd outside the door — they will want to throw the previous ones in the trash.

CHAPTER I

ANTIBUDDA

In the 7th century BC, a certain genius boy of the princely family of Shakya grew into an enlightened teacher of his people. The Buddha revealed to his soul the cause of suffering. If his community and kin were suffering, they were doing something wrong as a whole and individually. No, not yet. The cause of suffering is desire. No desire — no suffering. All ingenious is simple.

What did they want?

The Buddha forbade touching gold, silver, and women because these are the main temptations that lead to ruin. But gold and silver are not available to everyone, but only to the nobility, although the lower classes may want gold, after women, of course. Before us is a picture from the distant past, when the Remids and Zerefs are excited at the same time. No demand, no supply. There is no suffering. There is no Buddha. Gautam Buddha is not a God; he is only one link in the chain of personal enlightenment. The Buddha has grasped the truth of a particular moment. And the moment shows that all his relatives and the surrounding people were excited and suffered from excitement.

Truly, if you give the rabble a lot of food and women, will they be satisfied?

And if you give the nobility the proper glory, will not our Remids (elite) become bored at one moment?

The point is that anyone who tries to satisfy the crowd with a goal will not only be disappointed, but these people will also pay the price. It does not come immediately and sometimes lingers for a long time. But there is no doubt that this will be a reckoning. The first will kill itself by gratuitous absorption, and the second will ruin the community by a mess of intoxication. You can't satisfy a hungry person with food. You can't appease someone who has known slavery with freedom.

By the middle of the XIX century, the world received another Gnostic doctrine-Marxism.

The author of this doctrine was a very enlightened and brilliant man, Karl Marx.

From this enlightenment, we understand that Karl Marx rebelled against the Rabbi's father and against the entire system of rabbis. Marx wrote out capitalism to an inevitable and inglorious end. Marx proved the inevitable end of capitalism would be provided by the proletarian, endowed with a Messianic mission.

In addition, the proletarian Messiah is supposed to build, was obliged to build from the “Kingdom of necessity” to the Kingdom of freedom”, when from each according to need, to each according to ability-remember these stamps of Marx? Memorized and notched by Soviet propagandists. That’s it, all according to Marx. Brilliant! Everyone will get their talents, and it’s so attractive. Everyone gets what they want. This is the most important thing.

But first, the talent or talents of the obsolete rotten classes will give way, of course, to the talents of the litter from the second "proletarian" box. How the new talent will achieve its perfection is not clear until now. Traditionally, nothing happened except for the mass slaughter of the reactionary "rot" of the tsarist aristocracy, then the revolutionaries of the intelligentsia, then the same mass accession of new proletarian masters. Some gentlemen had replaced the other. And these new nomenclature lords were far more repulsive in the imitative farce of their deposed predecessors.

The new rulers had absolutely no honor or aristocratism. These mongrel comedies (and the tragedies of the watching audience) are now being implemented in full swing. In addition, the watching and suffering masses do not seem to want to overthrow the next masters and tyrants. Moreover, despite predictions of the imminent collapse of new simulacra States of tyrants and autocrats, Revcon (revolutionary conservatism) claims that these autocracies are much stronger and more stable than their Communist predecessors. However, the Soviet Union’s sizes, heights, and depths seem immeasurably better than the form of modern autocracies.

In fact, new regimes and societies are more stable than they seem. To understand this phenomenon, we brought in an enlightened Buddha and added our own Revcon. Modern autocracy is the opposite of the Buddha. They will meet the demand of the population. They indulge their passions. By the categories Revcon for Zerefs kinship feelings, for Remids wisdom. All passions are at rest. Stores are filled with an unprecedented food assortment. Markets are full of different vintage items. Each category of the population can choose their food and things to taste.

Glossary:

Zeref- a traditional person with rigidly set social actions, low reflection almost zero, hence the word zeref-reflection zero (zeref).). Has no semitones, serves the idols of the genus, communicates in the circle of native blood. Zeref has no semitones of perception, is categorical, irreconcilable, hostile to others and to another opinion in the development of rejection of "not your own"

.

Zerot- the traditional feudal elite

Remid — a new traditional elite, rulers, officials, authorities, teachers; Remid put actions for Zerefs, determine morality, laws, politics, reflection average-middle (remiddle).

Remid's loop – the elite's struggle with the brightest personality, the collusion of second and third parties against the hero and the prophet.

Refag is a person of a trading civilization in several generations, reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian-refag (re + high). Brazen reflection.

Zeremid is a first-generation city person, has a half-rigid social reflex of custom and new skills of city life, half-urban, half-rural.

Zeremid's loop – the Zeremids are approximate imitators. They imitate the elite, any idea, any direction just to be good for their families. By imitation, hypocrisy, and even fanaticism, they harm any cause, state, or idea.

Zefa is a man from the city's first generation with a tendency towards the market and speculation, and to trade at least something, and circumstances forced him.

CHAPTER II

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. WHY DO REMIDS GIVE IN

When the Muslim Sultan Saladin laid siege to Jerusalem in 1187, the defense of the “Kingdom of heaven” was led by Baron Balian. But since all the knights of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were killed in the battle of Hattin three months before the siege, the Baron Ibilinus had to accept all the defenders of Jerusalem as knights and thus raise their morale.

The people who came to the Tsar’s wagon train near Mozhaisk for abdication, as well as those who wanted to replace the autocracy with a republic and contributed to the fall of Nicholas II — who are they? The generals of Russia in the fateful days of February and March 1917 were just “new knights”, like those adopted by Baron Ibilin to protect the” Kingdom of heaven” of Jerusalem.

Let’s call the names of these new nobles, whose ancestors were absolutely not “knights” for 100 years or fewer before the fateful events.

The chief of staff of the Supreme ruler, General Alexeyev was the son of a retired Feldwebel.

The commander of the Northern front, General Ruzsky, was the son of an official of the XII class (cornet, ensign, Midshipman)

The commander of the South-Western Front, General Kornilov, who arrested the Tsar’s family, was the son of a cornet and a commoner woman.

The commander of the Western front, Denikin is the son of a serf.

One of the two delegates from the Duma is the manufacturer Guchkov from a merchant family.

Of the hereditary nobles are only General Brusilov and the second of the two Duma delegates the Shulgin. But both were already ill with the eternal disease of the Russian intellectual self-eating as a habit of intellectuals.

It is worth mentioning that the leaders of the two left-wing revolutionary factions-the social revolutionaries and the Bolsheviks, the Kerensky and Lenin were the sons of provincial noblemen.

What were they missing? The truth? Justice? Or victories on the Russian-German front? Although, most likely, victories. But for the lack of victories for pride, there is something else that no one can understand or see.

In the traditional regime, anyone builds a rigid social pyramid. Although the founders of any pyramid want to stay at the top with their offspring, they are also interested in having more or less intelligent guys trickle up to avoid mess and fuss. At least for now. If you only recruit Executive jerks to the top, then the mess and fuss will be more than the cases themselves. But all the same, each part of the pyramid wants to legitimize its rights to a place for centuries, that is, to remain at the top forever and that no upstart will take the place of his children, who will receive the father’s place, rank, and rank by inheritance. It would seem that all these men, who dethrone Nicholas II, got all the career opportunities and fulfilled their desires. They grew up almost from the bottom. But still, there was something wrong with it. Desires are fulfilled, but the internal is what the worms have left. And these worms are the rings of tradition. No matter how you twist these rings and no matter how you break them, they will still shrink. They will shrink the way they should. And tradition always wants ossification, wants to stagnate. Hence, the eternal recurring periodic stagnation in the traditional world changes to the same sharp revolutionary explosions.

What do people always lack at all times in the hierarchy? A higher rank is missing, and there will not be enough for all high positions. (Many former Soviet citizens know that jeans, Coca — Cola, and gum have nothing to do with it. Only children of the party elite wore American jeans and chewed gum. Here is how comically the plebeian craving for elitism, which was expressed by suits, buttons, and collars in tsarist times, has shown itself — each class of officials has its own coat collar!).

CHAPTER III

TRADITION HAS THE EYES OF A TOAD

In a hierarchical community, if you fall down, no one needs you. At the bottom, everyone looks at the conditional top. In this form, traditional society is like a frog or toad, seeing all the blue sky, but not the slime of a swamp or the fungus from the bottom of a well. The conventional frog or toad does not care about the simplest life under her feet. Here is so, fallen from above down, still will be visible during the fall, even fractions of seconds, but this will be the last picture and further nonexistence. Every celestial knows this. And he knows that every frog’s watching for him. They are just similar in the direction of their eyes and attention. The fall itself will be sweet to all because no one wants to fall at the top. He would like to die quietly on the top. Even better with honor when he will be carried out feet first. And this is still the case.

I don’t know if I explained the reason for refusing to leave the government voluntarily in essence, but there is something in this for another problem in the same area.

The fact is that as soon as the coveted first place is released, many people rush in that direction, including those who do not deserve to be at the top. That is, everyone strives for power with every fiber of the traditional soul.

But why do applicants behave so irresponsibly because we know that traditional people are the most responsible in the world?

They are always responsible for their actions in society. Before the father, before the brothers, before the conscience of the ancestors and glory. But that doesn’t stop anyone. Is it because those same toad eyes don’t judge winners, but wait? Who should bow down and bring some of their harvests? Everyone is already waiting to see who will sit on the top to take their vegetables from the garden or the carcasses of the game from the hunt. The trays are ready. The backs of the obsequious servants are already bent in greeting the new boss. The toad’s eyes stared at it. The main thing is to get in there.

Otherwise, no unworthy person will take the risk. It was at the moment when the upstart was left alone with his more worthy opponent, surrounded by the traditional people, the ignorant crowd, that he could have every chance to seduce the crowd to take power. Because the danger has disappeared, there is no risk, no need for great talents. They only need to deal with populism. What is the reason for the same unscrupulousness of revolutionaries, that they forget that they are climbing ahead of other, talented men? Isn’t it with the same toad eyes of tradition?

And I’m sorry, what kind of revolutionaries are unscrupulous?

If these revolutionaries came from the traditional world of the traditional community, then the tradition itself explains it all. These same revolutionaries know very well that a society with eyes only looking up recognizes power, any power, even an alien one. It is necessary to take power. And then you can do whatever you want with this crowd. History is full of examples when not the best ones outstripped the more worthy and gifted ones in the struggle for power. But on their heads. Of course, the unworthy bypassed the worthy not always, but at a time when there was no direct danger.

Flatter right and left. Seduce with your kindness and simplicity. Promise mountains of gold. Yell as in the jungle, “We are of the same blood!” The crowd itself dislikes bright men. It likes simple people like itself. The crowd will choose its kind in the image and likeness — out of vanity.

CHAPTER IV

EYES ON THE FOREHEAD

The traditional man has eyes on his forehead to see movement at the top. Because he doesn’t watch what’s going on below, he can jump in any direction just like that. If he hurts someone like that, he will apologize. But this is because, at this moment, others are apologizing. If they do not observe the culture of respect, then they will not respect themselves because everyone who jumps to the side, back, or side is themselves. And everyone is the one whom they get jumped on. And he loves himself, though he doesn’t respect them. Well, in what way does he respect you? If he did not respect or pretend to respect himself intoxicated with his kind of jumpers, he would despise himself as he despises any lowered person. And now authorized and highly respected person in any way does not want to fall, lose power so that the eyes on the forehead of such traditional people do not stop looking at him. But each time, someone jumped from above, from the side, though from where, and at the same time did not always apologize for the attack. In general, superiority in the traditional community is important, including getting rid of random hit-and-run attacks so that fewer people step on their feet. They all have, once again, eyes on their foreheads. So obliges hierarchy or culture to simply say subordination. If there will be power, and there will be no.

In addition, the traditional people circle around the central core that no one sees, but everyone knows it is there. All people with eyes on the forehead are strung on this rod by invisible pins, but they manage to jump sideways but still without falling or rising above the border of the invisible pin, where they draw a line where they cannot jump. They jump around the pin at a certain level so that someone from below does not jump to them on the level and, at this time, jump to the side and to the sides a little higher. They jump to the side and to the sides to jump on the insolent from the lower conditional level. A superior easily shit on a subordinate. And the subordinate is silent or says thank you. An attack on the feet is the same signal that the next step will be on the head. According to the same principle, heads fly from below or, more precisely, those creatures with eyes on their foreheads that have lost the sense of proportion. Although it may be during the jumps to the side, to the sides, forward and back at their level, they are well-fed (relatively speaking, enriched). But if they fell. This means that they will be watched on every floor of the invisible central pillar. Can you jump on them or not? Can you step on your feet or not. If they lose or lose their money, they can turn into a caste of outcasts. To avoid falling into the cast of outcasts, all those who fall from the top quickly move (jump away with all their strength) to another space where there is no central rod on which all the jumpers are strung together. And since jumps are often accelerated as if everyone is trapped in a tight space, traditional people always feel that the surrounding space is sometimes narrowing; panic jumps begin at any level, so people with eyes in the middle do not get to the top.

But there are normal people. They are not sensitive, sighted, yielding, flattering, and still haven't the eyes on their foreheads. Let's call them conditionally talented because their view is somewhat broader. But if the view increases, it means that they are not so sensitive to movements from above and jump from the side. Hence, their non-viability and the explanation that they can not get to the top in any way, although the selection is not for jumping but for the eyes on the forehead.

There can even get Zerefs from other pyramids with a central hierarchical core, even from another nation, but the mandatory strict condition is eyes on the forehead. And increased sensitivity of the skin. For jumping sideways, no one ever stops for a second. So, that traditional people whose eyes began to see around, that is, in their own way, the talented did not get higher, conditionally not climbed on top, the Zerefs and Zeremids try to also shit or to make a vile, smiling maliciously. That is, they see that they are inferior in the competition, but they know that in this world, the selection is made by other eyes. Let them be oblique, large-tuft, narrow, blue, brown, but still, the eyes should be on the forehead. But they will still cheat and shit unnoticed because they initially consider themselves higher. In some families where the sons have a slightly different view of things, and we are talking here about traditional families, where the fathers of the family all the time with the installation that their eyes are always in place, and they are always right (the fathers are always right), will correct this deviation of the eyes not on the forehead (educate). At least something. Though directly, though meanness. If only the sons manage to jump a level higher so that the traditional fathers can see them, then any eyes would approve and accepted it. Even if these sons steal, rob, and are corrupt if they jump high in savage society, this is excellent for all wild people. They will glorify their father’s name, the name of their village, and the name of their family. And this is essential on the invisible rod, where everyone jumps sideways and sideways according to the same wild laws.

GLOSSARY:

Zerefs are community people whose behavior conforms to stringent standards. Taboo, morality, law. Their reflection is zero; therefore, their reflexes are rigidly set by the community, authorities, and law.

Remids are people of honor. Their reflection is average, and they are a conditional elite and conditional authority directing the members of the community — the Zerefs.

Refags represent the highest form of reflection, that of tradespeople. Selfish reflection is aimed at making a profit from underdeveloped or traditional people.

CHAPTER V

HUMBLE HYPOCRITE

Against loop of Remids.

The loop of Remids is struggled the Remids between themselves, after what ahead, as an option in power it turns out Zeref, a wild and strong-willed man. Out of pride, the best people, aristocrats, and intellectuals agree to let the fool go ahead of all the aristocrats so as not to regret it. And forward, they pass a sick or unhappy plebeian. This is a dispute between equals.

After Lenin’s death.

Does this mean that if the power is lying on the road or a real candidate is experiencing difficulties, a less talented one will pick it up? For example, what happened to the Bolsheviks after Lenin’s death?

For example, we take the attempt of Zinoviev, the Chairman of the Petrosovet, a member of the Politburo and Central Committee, and Kamenev, the Chairman of the Mossovet and head of the STO, to push aside the most talented in the Central Committee Trotsky, the Minister of war. After all, both knew that they would not pull responsibility and that their talents were lower than the LDT. Further, the party apparatus supported even more inconspicuous and mediocre Stalin. In 1936, Stalin executed Kamenev and Zinoviev — the logical conclusion of the Remid’s loop, when the most gifted come forward in the struggle of the most untalented. Then the most incompetent destroy them.

After Stalin’s death.

Beria was the most influential of the Soviet elite. But Malenkov and Khrushchev united against him, supported by Marshal Zhukov. Beria was shot. Malenkov was sure that the post of Chairman of the Council of Ministers was the main one (it was held once in the past by Lenin and Stalin). He recommended Stalin’s buffoon Khrushchev to lead the party. But he was very wrong. Who led the party, he has taken all.

Further.

It is unlikely that Khrushchev was the most talented, and the Remid’s loop here looks more like a Remids farce because all the participants are Zeremids and provincials (all were born in the villages and rose in official ranks thanks to the revolution of 1917 and the counter-revolution of 1937 by Stalin). In 1957, Stalin’s associates Molotov, Kaganovich, and Malenkov had already decided to remove Khrushchev. The most talented Bureau of the Presidium Bureau of the Central Committee, Marshal Zhukov said: “I will appeal to the people, the people will support me!” (to crush you — Molotov, Kaganovich, Malenkov). For these words, four months later, Zhukov was accused of Bonapartism and dismissed as Minister of defense of the USSR.

The farce of choice.

When Khrushchev was dismissed, no one wanted to come out on top. Everyone was afraid of Khrushchev’s reprisal. However, when the support of the security forces was guaranteed, the hardware people agreed on the ridiculous figure of Brezhnev, who in the midst of Khrushchev’s struggle with Molotov, Kaganovich, and Malenkov fainted at a meeting of the Bureau (almost like the elderly cardinal Jacques Dues, who was elected Pope in the hope that he would die immediately after the election. Dues during the Conclave portrayed himself all the time sick and dying at the Council of Cardinals, and they bought into this trick).

Finally, after the death of Andropov, 73-year-old Konstantin Chernenko was elected to the post of General Secretary and head of the USSR, “a diligent performer”, “never eager for power”, who from the very beginning of the Supreme Board was taken from his hospital bed, changed clothes and asked to read the prepared text. Isn’t this clear evidence of degradation and negative selection?!

Youth, not talent.

The most important argument when choosing the new leader of the USSR Gorbachev was not talent but only youth. Mikhail Gorbachev- the last leader of the USSR, is the son of a combined harvester. So much for the dictatorship of the proletariat! Where the most important thing was to be born somewhere in Siberia in the family of some slaughterer, locksmith, or village blacksmith. As we can see, the slogan of the dictatorship of the proletariat turned into a meme where the best was chosen from the worst. They chose from the majority of those who were more numerous in the country.

What are the conclusions?

The Remid’s loop is a struggle of the elite and the self-destruction of the best rulers as the result of “bad parenting”, hoping for the best, using the weakness of most worthy by reason of mandatory their modesty. If the most worthy is not modest (for example, Trotsky), they will immediately begin to displace him, reproach him and finally completely exclude him from the list of candidates.

Further, this selection does not end. For, in fact, it’s all the faults of tradition. It begins with modesty and ends with a majority vote. Those who are physically more are the ones who decide. And were physically more proletariat people were in the USSR? No. All these people were born in traditional families. Choosing not the kindest leader, but the worst for leadership but modest and not hurting the self-esteem of electors begins in the family. Do you remember the saying about a quiet heifer that sucks two cows?

Within families.

What kind of child do parents love? Who the sickest, weakest, most needy. Surprisingly, this family phenomenon of love, almost traditional, goes from the bottom to the top-in the apparatus of the party and government, where they also love the weakest and sickest (remember the physically ill and infirm Leonid Brezhnev and Konstantin Chernenko, who were “loved” by the people).

How is this Remid’s loop, which is actually an echo of tradition, overcome?

Of course, by choice of the leader of a worthy replacement. If the leader himself does not choose the best of his entourage, then the traditional people will choose the worst,” modest” hypocrite through their elite.

CHAPTER VI

NEGATIVE SELECTION

There is an opinion that under the autocracy and dictatorship of the party, the people do not decide anything.

Is this true?

This is an incorrect superficial opinion. And the very first question — where did this government and the autocrat come from? Well, they did not fall from the sky to this point of the earth, where the autocrat rules with his people. Not from the clouds, not from the moon.

These people are derivatives of popular choice, which does not happen officially, that is, directly, so that everyone can see how it happens in hypocritical democratic elections. This is an intimate, family choice, a choice made by every head of the family and his wife and children. No one tells your father at home, I voted for you, I chose you. I love the respect of outsiders who don’t like unnecessary shouting. This is a cultural choice, a voluntary choice. We don’t choose our parents. If we chose as required by liberal guidelines’ humanity would have been suppressed even before biblical times. We choose objectively, and we choose by attraction.

But in one case, it’s good when it happens in the family. But how is it that on the street or in any public place, we dislike our ruler? We love our father selflessly and selflessly if, of course, he deserves it. Even if it doesn’t deserve it, the tradition and culture of the people oblige us to show respect, even the most incompetent and clueless father. We must respect the elderly. This is how our ancestors lived, and this is how we live.

But official people stretch the poster. It says,” Glory to the father of the nation!” Do they really love him or is the expression of love mandatory, like wearing a tie for officials? Whether they love their patron and father or not, this is the culture. If they show their independence and independence, the system will expel them as a volcano expels ash from a crater. That’s how parents dislike too independent and obstinate sons. That’s how society dislikes dubious individuals.

Any person who claims power must show that he is subject to society. Moreover, he must lull the vigilance and selfishness of everyone. Hence, the general dislike of so-called personalities, or more precisely, dislike of talents. A gifted person has not yet done anything, and a rumor is already being created around him that he is an enemy of the people, that he is an enemy of the state, even an enemy of the father. Just as ugly women hate beauty with all their hearts, traditional people suspect that they steal love. Zerefs, Zeremids, even Remids, because of the competition for the breast of the cow, will do anything to “parents” only saw their loving faces. This is how loyalty and the desire to please come out in front of the traditional people. Negative selection begins.

CHAPTER VII

THE MAIN THING FOR THE TRADITION IS TO TAKE POWER

“I don’t like it when people kill, but if the masses hate someone so much that their anger can’t be contained, we won’t stop them… The people’s militia should be on the side of the red guards, unite with them, sympathize with them, inform them…”

Xie Fuji, Minister of public security of the people’s Republic of China, 1966

So, the first rule is to take power. Let it lie on the road, and it often happens. Let the thorns heading to power, who takes power, he can rule happily for a long time. All traditional peoples in history have worshiped power, obediently followed its orders, and even deified it. The main thing is to take power—the power of the divine. The traditional people themselves are blind here. They recognize the power of any God. This, by the way, is often used even today. Suppose the ruler will decide to temporarily appoint someone in his place and then may return to the previous place again through democratic elections. Such a castling at the top is impossible for everyone, namely for traditional people who believe in the authorities. They stand and are silent in any case. Not to say that they believe blindly, but this is the culture of trusting the authorities. After all, all power is from God! This is what the church claims and refers to the Bible.

Does this mean that the leaders of the main Soviet communes, Kamenev and Zinoviev and Trotsky’s rivals, were counting on this effect? They thought so, and we will take power, and then the people recognize us as Lenin’s successors. By the way, a relatively good option for the USSR. In any case, it presupposes the return of interparty democracy. In this case, it is not difficult for a real intellectual to regain power. Here it was necessary to cancel the decision of the X Congress of the CPSU in 1921 on the need to strengthen discipline and prohibit internal party discussions — this decision will then depend on the people of Stalin to deal with opponents. But when this decision was made, there was a civil war. (But the Zeremids war is eternal, even if it literally does not exist, the Zeremids always have it, even in their sleep and hibernation)

Zinoviev and Kamenev- Remids, a great alternative!

With the Remids, the USSR had good prospects. The most important thing is abolishing the practice of “go-go”, when you give results at any cost — the command and administrative leadership style would be discarded. Remids are a creative beginning and the same approach to each problem. And Remids are always creative, the assumption of criticism and intellectual reflection about their mistakes (Zeremid has no reflection, only complexes). Remids criticize each other but support each other and try to correct themselves if they delve into their mistakes. Remids are principled, and there is no one more principled than these people, but exclusively and only for the law and for a high goal. Remids are the best representatives of the enforcement apparatus-the state. And it would be better if they forced others by their example, especially the officials, by not stealing. And especially, the Remids do not harass each other physically, except for disagreements, except on the level of faith. The Remid’s faith is the state itself. And the language of executions is not their language of communication. The language of persuasion, service to the people, is their style. Before it did nobles, officers-people of honor, that’s the same Remids but with a pedigree and a shoulder strap. When there are no other solutions, Remids will try to agree and make a final attempt at reconciliation. Another thing resolutely and excitable Zeref, who always speaks dramatically, as in nature, as in hunting, the Zeref quickly defines: a friend is a friend, the enemy is the enemy at mid is nothing. Only instincts. They invented the enemies of the people, hence making the bullets for enemies of the people, like arrows. If such a person is given free rein, it will begin to search for its way.

First, in this search, it will find them guilty. That is, it will find its enemies. And not the fact that the enemy will not be a countryman, neighbor, or yesterday’s schoolmate. The most recent enemies will go, father, brother, and other native “trifles”. But to excite people’s finger pointing to the top of admiration must rise, again, of seemed. As soon as he is faced with the first problem, he will turn on his people’s brains and call on the people to help him in the fight against personal enemies without any “creativity” and reflection of doubt. For Zeremids, there is no such doubt, no reflection; he is concerned only with complexes. In this sense, the crowd is also often covered by religion, tradition, even patriotism, but it keeps the secret of the inner itch and complexes of internal self-contempt. But, once again, they choose those who are physically larger, intellectually lower, and less cultured. They selected not the bespectacled Trotsky, but Stalin. But whoever is responsible will not necessarily be the real enemy. He will look more like a victim, reminding you with all his pathetic appearance that he is the victim of blind, angry people.

CHAPTER VIII

CRUEL CHAMELEON NEAR AND INSIDE

There may be an opinion that the traditional system is omnivorous and capable of implantation. This is true. It is capable of implantation. It is like a chameleon taking the right shape. But inside, it remains the same traditional system. In other words, traditional people cannot live without hierarchy. Whatever system the Zerefs create and whatever they call it, they will still create a hierarchy where there will be a commanding elite and despicable subordinates. They can't do without it. It is very difficult to explain what this is related to. Maybe with the climate, something else accompanies the heaviest conditions of life, which necessarily needs a leader and his people to discipline the community. But traditional people wherever they gather and wherever they move intoxicated of need, hunger, in a new place they will again live as before, and nothing will change. It has already been said that there is an invisible central spine all the time, and all the other circles are strung on it. You can live under a natural product exchange relationship, consume under capitalism, learn under socialism, and even under democracy, and this central core will stand here and there. But no one sees it. However, everyone inside will be fine. The high priests will be painted in the colors of the elite, and the rest will stand in rank as if they are about to rush into battle again right now.

It’s all about what the next quality will be central. If under feudalism it is the gentility and subordination of the nobility by blood, under socialism the ability to remember and adopt words and slogans from revolutionaries then under capitalism, when in general the traditional people do not know the meaning of money all Zerefs will start speculating. Yes, so that they will overtake their teachers in rigidity and cynicism. Authoritative capitalists will be surprised, and revolutionaries will turn over in their coffins. Why do these people have so much rigidity towards their own, namely their own people? And when we’re traditional, crypto-traditional, and post-traditional people sensitive to each other? In the family group, the relatives will see everything and not allow it: they will punish for callousness, non-participation, and disrespect. That is, there are witnesses nearby. The traditional person was always visible in front of the community. Under feudalism, Zeref must observe the norms of community morality. Under socialism, morality tripled by slogans generally put more pressure on Zeref than the pressure of relatives. Under capitalism, this triple pressure has disappeared. Triple! It immediately cut off —it means that is time to build a new hierarchy. And who of the same people will move just like that? Why give way to others? Will he want to stand at the bottom and train his eyes on the forehead? From above, there is always pressure and violence, scolding — in fact, everything is the same traditional, without the sentimentality of civilization. From below, execution and sensitivity with eyes on the forehead. Hence, the cruelty of banks and large percentages of bankers — these instances or other forms that are traditional substances in themselves. Who is sitting in banks? — Zerefs. That is, their own people. And we know that Zerefs needs to rise quickly, if not already risen, that is the same traditional people. And traditional people always just push. On their kind, the same people, but unfortunately lower status. If in the natural era there were all sorts of heroes, warriors, now in the realm of money, these heroes and warriors are the cruelest, heartless speculators. They don’t see relatives and don’t look for any kinship. They just push and belittle. Discipline is the name of discipline. This is the law of survival. So, it was, and so it remains.

Where it go?

All the people are scattered in the cities. But what kind of people are they? What do they profess? What values are recognized? How quickly and clearly do they imitate other people's forms but immediately remain themselves?

Let’s look at the ranks of officials and see that the ranks of the chosen were not recruited for professionalism. We will definitely indicate that this is a traditional group of pseudo — warriors. They are not well adapted for real combat conflicts, so they have a very strange appearance, but for privatization, for example, this type and, most importantly, the quality of candidates will be optimal. We never forget that the core of the tradition is already at the very center, and circles are strung on it one after another, one on top of the other. The right people in the system are only required to remain silent and run errands, just like in war. On the other hand, each chief executive will choose the same silent relative — the same necessary anachronism of tradition, at the very end, it is just as suitable as at the very top, only at the top while the form is observed and at the bottom immediately there is no form. At the bottom everything is simple: if you can’t cope, if you don’t arrange it, go for a walk. Thus, the entire market system is created on the traditional (military, paramilitary, crypto-military) basis, and there is no place for others, alien, dangerous, and incomprehensible in this system. Although this is no longer a system of primitive warriors, it is already a system, a socio-economic formation even such a state consists only of a form. The institutions of the state seem to exist, but the content is old, feudal.

How was it overcome a little so that each chief executive did not choose his shadow?

Under socialism, there was, of course, rotation, so that one officer did not create a circle of "friends". In fact, under capitalism, this problem of acquaintances is solved by the same change of leaders, only having time to mix them. But all of them were selected for privatization and distribution of benefits. That is, they are not relatives, people are not really relatives, they are a kind of relatives, they are almost a medieval order. And do not forget for a minute about the central spine. A stranger, a man from the street, is not allowed in such an order. Yes, to such an extent that they immediately have time to agree. But in general, the hierarchy has already been established. It lived here. But in culture. And people of a select circle are extremely reluctant to choose their assistants from nowhere, unverified, but still, there are elevators.

What kind of abilities do you need to have to please the new elite?

It seems that the capitalists always talks about a new round of mimicry — about democracy. But there is still the same traditional something, where there is no criticism discipline, and few people can say bad things about power. After all, if they start talking about it, about democracy, about rights, these next ambitious people, the faster the whole system with the center and circles will fall apart. But why would it fall apart? To gather again on the same prohibitions and respect for the elders (by position). There is no doubt that such a system will come together again. And the more people talk about their commitment to the old, to the precepts of their ancestors, and similar folklore, the sooner this old structure will gather, despite the new fashion, however. After all, traditional people, although they look like adherents of the old and talk about precepts in fact, at the same time are the most ridiculous but zealous imitators of world fashion. Because to create a primitive hierarchy (by blood), you need to go through all the circles of rebirth back with the search for these same people of famous blood. It always sounds beautiful in words. In fact, the people of the past ruined nobles went through many battles to subdue the same freedom-loving Zerefs of the past. And under capitalism, the set also occurred, and many received the joy of large, no matter how received the money. After all, the goal is everything, and the means are nothing. This law sounds invisible sounds, creating new circles around the central spine (the core of hierarchy). Whatever you build, I will, “this rod says. Whatever you talk about at feasts, corporate parties, hangouts, or just because of swagger and bragging, about the great past or bright present, next to you the same I — your core, your culture.

P.S.

By the way, modern geopolitics is based on this dual hypocrisy and fanaticism at the same time. The Western world supports the democracy of archaic peoples. Archaic peoples will inevitably create an old primitive society, not a democracy, because they will always rely on covenants when any dispute arises. And they will return to the old road of the ancestors, with a full turn back, they will destroy all the buildings of civilization.

CHAPTER IX

OLD WIFE’S FEARS. OR WHY TRADITIONAL SOCIETY IS MEDIOCRE

Everyone knows that in traditional society, there are eternal difficulties with rotation. Everyone knows, but they can't do anything. They can't do it, and they want to avoid doing anything. This is such a phenomenon, the consciousness awakened by someone from the outside wakes up, can be a writer, analyst, journalist, and the traditional person still sleeps and sleeps. Or they are pretending to. Usually, rotation is understood as the supreme power or tip. In modern political terms, a leader or a political leader does not want to leave. He does not want to leave and even says that he does not see his replacement. This scene is bound to happen. There is no one to put. Who will put after? In general, there is no replacement, anyway. Everyone is waiting, as in the story of Khoja Nasreddin about his Emir and the talking donkey, who will be the first to die.

This phenomenon of the unwillingness of the entire upper layer to resign voluntarily for health reasons or incompetence seems to have been discovered not only by me. In a hierarchical society, as soon as a dignitary, official, or authorized person goes into the shadows, everyone immediately ceases to notice him, even relatives, who still show signs of respect out of habit. There is a shocking change in people. The attitude of the entire surrounding world of traditional people towards the retiree is changing in a bad way. No way! The ruler or even just an official says to himself when he sees such a change of mood. Let me die at my desk and be carried out of the office feet first. I prefer not to be disappointed in my people. I love them so much, and they love me. Even if they love me hypocritically, I am not ready for complete oblivion. And no one is ready. That's why no one really wants to rotate. Everyone wants any kind of love, even hypocritical one's own or someone else's, but love, honor, and self-deception respect.

But this state of reluctance is characteristic of everyone, as I have already said. Even not for the upper class. Even half the conditional nobility and entire the not nobility, such thoughts — fears come. Not even a thought, but just a feeling of fear of losing your place. The lower a person is in the hierarchy, the more indifferent they are to what awaits them. But the higher, the more experiences. But if a person got to the place of honor at least once, he feels it would be better not to avoid leaving it. He wants to privatize his number like in the cadastral list of private property calculating private owner. However, the traditional peoples’ private property was poorly developed. But no one thought to fix the ruler’s rule for eternity except himself (and his entourage because they will also leave with him). Because no one can have private ownership of power, hierarchical people cling to power in all ways, with their fingers, hands, and feet.

But for any honorary position, traditional cling is already mentioned. And even the half-elite and half-half and a quarter of the elite behave inappropriately (in the opinion of a modern young man). This half -, half -, half-elite behaves like the old wife of a rich gentleman. She surrounds her husband with extra care and sudden extra attention. If, of course, a young competitor appears on the horizon. All the other wives of (our conditional) Lord and master in the harem begin to circle around their husband, creating rings of oblivion. To, naturally, he no one did not see outside dance love old wives (and have us, officials, these wife-A. B.). Old experts are covered in fear of seeing the talented rival. They know If they all keep quiet together, no one will notice the talented rival! All pensioners or those who have reached the deadline do this, even without agreeing with other pensioners. It’s just an animal instinct that brings them all together. Have you seen how thoughtfully silent old cows are? They are silent without the agreement of the old cows. Simply stupidly, half an hour. And people keep silent more cunningly.

All traditional people who seem to have settled in cities and have already left the village society by their clothes behave like old wives. Moreover, the position of the jealous old wife is claimed even by collaborators inherited from the last Soviet regime. These journalists, Ministers, engineers. If old wives literally please their Khan, these collaborators are hypocritical servants. They are hypocrites and sit around-they writing about life, corruption, the economy, and even democracy. The hypocrites write that all okay and very well. But this writing is also from fear. They don't really want to be forgotten and kicked out on the street. That's why everything around us, except for the harem of real wives, if there are any at all, is saturated with the mustiness of the same. One might say, wax figures. Everything around screams garbage stagnation. When people come to the garbage dump, throw garbage in the trash cans, and so on day after day, day after day.

CHAPTER X

REFORMS IN RUSSIA AND CHINA

Why reforms in Russia are stalling, at the same time in China, since the mid-’80s, they have brought great success. Gorbachev’s perestroika began almost simultaneously. But what do we see? Do I need to list the difference?

Is liberalism, individual freedom, and adherence to democratic principles that do not suit the Eurasian people, but which the ruling elite of the CIS always looks up to, responsible for such depressing results? Or maybe the Marxist chains still remain on the feet of society, and the accusations of nationalists that the Russian-speaking, the former party-democratic elite is to blame, is not so accurate (in the Republic of Kazakhstan)?

(If anyone understood how the grandsons or great-grandsons of Russian revolutionaries would turn into liberals, it was only one person — the former leader of the revolution, Trotsky. He wrote a detailed work about this somersault, “Betrayed revolution” (“What is the USSR and where it goes” — the old name of this work)). We do not understand how in China, where adherence to Marxism and even Stalinism remain unshakeable concepts, nothing like this happened. The degeneration of the party and the elite did not happen and did not affect the Chinese reforms. Capitalist reforms in China have been successful. There is no close merger-a symbiosis of powerful corrupt officials and businesses in China. If any official is caught in corruption, the punishment will be swift and public. For any money, the corrupt official will not be able to pay off. Billionaires are also executed. If any cog in the law enforcement and judicial system made a wrong turn in the hope of getting a reward from a thief, he would also face execution. All Chinese know this. There are no gaps for fraud. The Communist Party controls the system and, most importantly, the souls of all Chinese, and it is not necessary to scare every screw by unscrewing the head. Chinese comrades from top to bottom resemble enthusiastic fanatics of the common cause. What’s it?

We are not talking about any liberal concessions. There is no such thing in Asia. Maybe because the reforms in Russia are stalling, its elite is not brought up in the Asian spirit of absolutism? It looks like it. There are few Asians in power in Russia. But what about the phenomenon of Stalin?

Russia is also Asia, but Eurasia.

Do Asian methods of strict control, policing, and the Declaration of human rights not combine? Perhaps because of the failure of reforms? This eternal dispute between Slavophils and Westerners.

Perhaps the frames are not the same?

Yes, the frames are not the same. But what does education have to do with it?

Let’s say that in connection with the reforms and industrialization, the masses of former dark peasants who joined the Communist party moved to the cities, received a good education, but they do not sell the state has broken today (not necessarily territorial), do not engage in corruption on an incredible scale, which in itself would indicate their hypocrisy and greed. Are potential corrupt officials held back only by the fact of an inevitable reprisal? (Perhaps because in Russia today, they are nostalgic for the time of Stalin because they are sure that only executions and labor camps solve the problem of theft). Is there a Chinese saying like “a Holy place is never empty”? Most likely, there is something similar. It cannot be to stimulate actions. On the other hand, the great Chinese leap and Cultural Revolution somewhat repeated in a reduced form the Soviet repression and struggled against the enemies of the people. Such events are possible only if the masses of the rural population find themselves in cities and create a stream of popular (rural, traditional) radicalism from their flow. The cult of personality and any deification is associated with ignorance and the need to serve it. However, the Chinese repressions “strike at headquarters” next to Stalin’s are ridiculous. Stalin and Mao both did not actually fight with thieves but with rivals. Just the struggle of any leader finds echoes in the mass heart of the people. And any dictator uses his power to promote this cult of love. Being in power at this moment is the most important thing. Only, for this reason, our losers Kamenev and Zinoviev rushed to challenge the championship, hoping that it would be easier to continue. The main thing in the traditional world is to take power. Then the power will work for the leader. On the other hand, it is more difficult to remove such a leader, and therefore only in a deeply traditional peasant people, the rulers do not resign but leave for physical reasons. In other words, they die in office.

GLOSSARY:

The Zerefs are community people whose behavior conforms to stringent standards. Taboo, morality, law. Their reflection is zero; therefore, their reflexes are rigidly set by the community, authorities, and law.

The Remids are people of honor. Their reflection is average, and they are a conditional elite and conditional authority directing the members of the community — the Zerefs.

The Refags represent the highest form of reflection, that of tradespeople. Selfish reflection is aimed at making a profit from underdeveloped or traditional people.

CHAPTER XI

WHAT IS THERE IN ASIA AND NOT IN EURASIA

Buddhists do not have theft and freebies because of the success of reforms.

“It can be said that a person will find agreement with the deities and the Buddha if his heart is straight and calm if he himself will honestly and sincerely respect those who are above him, and show compassion to those who are below him if he will consider the existing as existing, and the non — existent as non-existent, and accept things as they are. And then a person will find the protection and protection of the deities, even if he does not perform prayers. But if he is not straight and sincere, the sky will leave him, even if he prays every day”

Hojo Gagauz

There are two reasons why China did not liberalize public and political life as the Soviet leaders did. First: the founder of Communist China and the Marxist peasant movement of the same name, Chairman Mao, led the people’s Republic of China for a very long time. So long that if the founder of the USSR, Lenin had lived an equal length of life, the country would not have seen either Stalin or Khrushchev at the helm — the main actors of Stalinism and the thaw. This means that there would be no repression and personality cults typical of the Zeref (peasant) leadership style. There would be no Moscow trials, no persecution by the entire ideological apparatus of the USSR (with a huge budget) of the second leader of the revolution, Trotsky, after Lenin. It is even possible that the Second World war would not have happened, but there would have been a world revolution with a series of coups in the likeness of the modern orange Maidan. And of course, there would not have been a démarche of the two unfortunate ambitions of Zinoviev Kamenev, who fell the first victims of the Stalinist struggle for power. This means that modern corrupt regimes might not exist either if Lenin had the health of a bull. Rampant theft and embezzlement of money by the highest elite of all possible republics, too, might not have happened because Lenin’s “cook woman” in the face of the army, trained and educated the Zeremids, would have been under the control of a reflexive and not shot as a kind the intelligentsia.

And yet, why is there no such proverb in China?

“A holy place is never empty.” Is it because the main ideological base of the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom is tradition? And its most important Foundation is Confucian morality?

What is Confucianism?

This is strict adherence to paternalistic ethics. First, submission to the state, then reverence for the father and parents, and the third condition is respect for the elders. Yes, it seems to be true. For Confucians, brought up in the spirit of respect for the old, the state of the Emperor is something like a deity. How can you steal from God? However, not everything is so rosy. China has made a rapid, radical leap from an agrarian society to an urbanized industrial one. This means that the population is mixed. No one can monitor ethical standards. This means that it is very difficult for people from their deep villages and from the poor to resist material temptations. Evidence of this is public executions of corrupt officials. There are not enough of them, corrupt officials, they are not so echeloned, they have not penetrated like rust into all authorities and society, but they are there more like exceptions against the backdrop of a rising giant economic monster.

And yet, during the Cultural Revolution and the struggle with its consequences in addition to the overthrow of defense Minister Lin Biao in 1974, there was such a poster: “Criticize Lin Biao, criticize Confucius — this is now the most important thing for the Party, the army and the people. Young schoolchildren and students red guards or” guards” of Mao protected the chief from all party leaders and prominent intellectuals, teachers who were much older than their executioners and rapists. In other words, the revolution and Mao’s experiments in remaking consciousness were not in vain.

What secret do the Chinese, Korean, Singaporean, and Japanese officials not steal? I list ethnic Han Chinese, Chinese from Singapore and Malaysia, and Koreans and Japanese — all participants in the Southeast Asian miracle.

Life is short, but you need to live — help me kami (spirits). Japanese Shintoism preaches no less an ethic of honoring the Emperor and the elders (all peoples of today’s Christians and Muslims of different faiths have reverence for the elders). But Japanese Shintoism differs in that it is very close to liberal norms here and now.

Finally came the moment to explain why the leaders of the Soviets Zinoviev and Kamenev made an attempt to take the wrong path and thus confused the Soviet way (Tao). Not because they were ill-bred nonconformists, any revolutionary is a subverted of the foundations, but not in the case of his party comrade Trotsky. They acted on the principle of I will take that badly lies, and the Holy place is empty does not happen is very popular (also traditional) councils of the people. But the point is that both fellow leaders were not… enlightened.

Who is such a teacher, who is such a Bodhisattva, and finally, who is a Buddha? This is a very rare example of a large and small chariot! No follower of Buddhism, that is, no disciple or just a visitor to the temple, will attempt to take the place of the Buddha. That’s why Buddhists don’t have impostors. But anyone can be a Buddha! The place of an enlightened teacher is a Holy place. That is why power is not needed by anyone who feels that he is achieving enlightenment. In plain language, Buddhists have an ethical norm that relates to the chosen people-geniuses. They will never take power as a thing that doesn’t lie well. Hence, all the reforms in the countries of Southeast Asia are doomed to success.

CHAPTER XII

WHO IS EQUAL TO ALL?

A formation where each subsequent unit is inferior to the link leader can be called a military formation. Unless, of course, there is no peace after the war. But there is one moment. After a war, there is always peace among the neighbors. In this most peaceful period to have time to grow up, the next replenishment of young soldiers. This does not mean that building peace has lost the quality of war. On the contrary, building, peace duplicates military construction surprisingly. These two twins can be called one word — tradition. We will call it the principle of choosing the worst and going for the best tradition. This does not mean that the first ranks of regime officials are better than the last. This means that each subsequent official in the chain is just convenient for the system. Selecting the worst is just convenient. But first, it is convenient for the chief of staff. Each chief of a link chooses the deputy worse than itself and worse than itself on all qualities. So that no one sees the superiority of the deputy in anything, after all, according to the stereotype of war, the more talented should be in front.

So, it turns out that the leader or leader of a traditional community is superior to all who follow him and in war, and not in war, surpasses all at once. He is simply equal to all in one. This is probably where his glory begins. But what man is superior to all the people? Only one superman. Such a person is worthy of love and glory. Especially those who follow him in rank will shout-you are our idol, you are our leader, never was such a bright sun born in the world.

But what would alert him?

The super leader will suspect insincerity and will not even believe that he is above all, cooler than all, stronger than all, that he is equal to all at once. One leader against all. It turns out approximate equality of peacetime: one super-human leader against the rest of the masses.

As for the lowest level where the most unworthy are supposed to live, here they also praise or at least are obliged to praise their immediate superior-flatter him, please him, the rest of the praise of the most important they do by order, on the orders of this chief as subordinates who carry out his instructions. For negligent soldiers, the bureaucrat can suffer a career or even ahead. Let his people officially shout about the sun of the nation and only obey him. And you don’t have to shout anymore. Today, of course, anyone official risks their career and money. If their people are lazy and incomprehensible and do not shout at all, they walk quietly, stupidly, which is significant when all the officials are watching each other. This is how a cult is gradually created, or its mechanism unfolds. And not because the leader is so insecure that he needs an hourly reminder of how great, how beautiful, how smart and visionary he is. This is just the natural mode of hierarchy. And only traditional people support such a regime. Just them and no one else.

Traditional people are always brought up on a cult and on authority. Without teacher’s mentors, there can be no tradition itself, and the meaning of life for traditional people is to serve. Of course, negative selection is also possible. All teachers of the world welcome the appearance of a diligent student. It’s just that the view becomes a way of undeserved reward and then duty in the most unexpected places. From here, the whole society is quickly overgrown with a general, no universal, just total hypocrisy that makes the rest of the world laugh. And forward, too, are selected almost flawed but quirky hypocrites. In a crowd of hypocrites, scoundrels, and hypocrites absolutely impossible to know where the old team knew who first who the second hypocrite. Who in the line is inferior to the first warrior in strength and courage. But to check the combat capability of a group of hypocrites and thieves, any incident is enough. Even a simple economic crisis is enough to find out whether there are no professionals here. The time of trouble is an artificial substitute for some aggressive neighbors from the past, far away. With all their traditions and discipline, such peoples begin to prepare themselves for this objective circumstance-a meeting with a un visible enemy. The crisis insight? No, I can’t see it. But they are not preparing for it together. After all, the worst is already sitting on even worse than himself; if the worst is ahead, it does not mean that he is the best. It is the best in adaptation, traditional servility, mimicry. Otherwise, nobody will be able to climb up the steps of capacity. There is a general sense of unease in the air. More than that, fear. And even the band of hypocrites and thieves is not sure where the punishment for lying and opportunism will come from. The entire population does not expect anything good, although inertia praises its immediate and formally first leader. There is no war, but there is anxiety. There’s something wrong here.

It would seem that to get out of this anxiety situation and believe in the future, and you just need to choose the worthy ones. These men are responsible for people. But where can we get them now? The problem of selecting the worst for fulfilling the will of the “best” (for today, conditionally the best) creates a depraved and cunning population. Each of the traditional crowd wants to get somewhere higher and, for this purpose, assumes a submissive appearance. The trick becomes pervasive and widespread. All are cunning and, at the same time, dissatisfied with something. Is this culture? This is culture. Exemplary fathers of families begin to raise compliant and cunning sons already in their families. The entire system begins to reject any deviation from the norm, even during rest, to avoid wasting time. The entire regime seems to be mobilizing. Any alternatives are rejected and pursued, perhaps not even literally but carefully. Everything superfluous is cut off. There is a struggle in all areas of the battle with invisible intruders as if it is the struggle of a traditional person with his shadow. It’s hard to find a cat in a black room. There seems to be no war, but the fight is on. At the moment of praising the ruling elite both officially and informally, when no one is watching, everyone is watching themselves as if they are walking in an invisible line of spies. Wherefrom, they will take decent people? The whole regime works against them. The really decent ones disappear as a species. They are decent inside, but everything is in the outer shell. Everyone tries to get rid of such an acquaintance. Being not decent here is quite consistent with the only discipline, hypocrites huddles together to collectively express contempt for the white crow. Even parents may regret at some point that they have a decent (actually decent) son and not a respected scoundrel. And I would be a hypocrite like everyone else. Maybe I would please the old people, my career would be set, and people could boast of knowing me.

What’s happening?

And what happens is what happens in any war. And not in the war as we see, either. When there is no danger and no need to take risks, the traditional system resembles itself but Vice versa. The worst are selected to get even worse. But the traditional system and education cannot be canceled.

You need the will. Who?

Think about it. The ruler, of course. He is the only king and God here. These people, therefore, very much depend on whether they will be lucky with the autocratic ruler or not.

CHAPTER XIII

MOVING WHILE STANDING

.

With the fall of the USSR and the triumph of market (allegedly market or imaginary) democracy, the crisis of social ideas and socialist thought was marked, and the organizational infirmity or inability of the intelligentsia to create an alternative to bourgeois morality was revealed. The intelligentsia showed weakness and showed a lack of will. There is no one to collect it, and it wants to avoid collecting itself. Those who are called Zeremids or new townspeople in Revcon are much better organized, but they do not need to be organized. They rode the very inertia of destruction and called it liberation, liberation from colonial oppression. And all because the young, all the young even in urbanization are much more energetic. They do not stand in a proud pose like all intellectuals. They do not suffer from independent loneliness. Furthermore, they do not become Autonomous but proclaim themselves all as one by one name — nationalists.
