A statesman who doesn’t exist yet. Remid

It seems to be capitalist and always talks about a new round of mimicry – about democracy. But there is still the same traditional one, where there is no criticism, there is discipline and few people can say bad things about it (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 exactly the same freedom-loving zerefs of the past. And under capitalism, the set also occurred and many drank the joy of large (no matter how received) 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.

PS.

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. I can’t do it and they don’t want to do 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 pretending to. Usually, rotation is understood as the Supreme power or tip. A leader or in modern political terms a political leader does not want to leave. 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 or who will you put after me? 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 unwillingness of the entire upper layer to resign voluntarily for health reasons or incompetence, it seems to have been discovered by me. In a hierarchical society, as soon as a dignitary, official or authorized person goes into the shadows, he immediately ceases to notice and everyone, 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 don’t want 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 as I have already said, of everyone. Not even the upper class. Even half the nobility and half the 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 does not want to leave it. He wants to privatize his number as in the cadastral list of private property calculating private owner. Although 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 enter 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 as already mentioned. And even the half-elite and half-half and a quarter of the elite behaves 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 not saw outside dance love old wives (and have us officials these wife-A. B.). Seeing where the talented rival, old experts covers fear. If we all keep quiet together, no one will notice it! 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. Posto 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 old jealous wife is claimed even by collaborators inherited from the last Soviet regime. These journalists, Ministers, engineers. If old wives literally please their Khan, then these collaborators are hypocritical as servants. They are hypocrites and sit around-they write about life, about corruption, about the economy, and even about democracy. Write well. But this writing is also from fear. They don’t really want to be forgotten. 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-80’s, 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, former party-democratic elite is to blame are not so accurate (in the Republic of Kazakhstan)?

(If anyone understood how the grandsons of 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 revolution “Devoted 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 rebirth of the party and the elite did not happen and did not affect the Chinese reforms. Capitalist reforms in China have been successful. In China, there is no close merger-a symbiosis of powerful corrupt officials and business. 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 not only the system, but also, 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, that 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? Maybe because of the failure of reforms? This eternal dispute between Slavophils and Westerners.

Maybe 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 joined the Communist party moved to the cities, received a good education, but they do not sell the state in pieces 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 can not be, in order to stimulate actions. On the other hand the Chinese great leap and cultural revolution somewhat repeated in a reduced form the Soviet repression and struggle 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, as a couple, 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 he uses his power to promote this love – cult. 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

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 aimed at making 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 demarche 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” in the face of the army, trained and educated zeremids, would have been under the control of a reflexive and not shot as a kind of 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 a strict adherence to paternalistic ethics. First of all, 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"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 is the secret that Chinese, Korean, Singaporean, and Japanese officials do not steal? I list not only ethnic Han Chinese, Chinese from Singapore and Malaysia, but also Koreans and Japanese – all participants in the Southeast Asian miracle.

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. Life is short, but you need to live – help me kami (spirits).

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 subverter 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 – very popular (also tradition) councils of the people. But the point is that both of these 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 does not feel that he is achieving enlightenment. In plain language Buddhists have an ethical norm in relation 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 South – East Asia are doomed to success.

CHAPTER XII

WHO IS EQUAL TO ALL?

A formation where each subsequent unit is inferior to the leader of the link can be called a military formation. Unless, of course, there is no peace after the war. But there is one. After a war there is always peace among the neighbors. And this most peaceful period is much longer if only in order 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 in a surprising way. These two twins can be called one word – tradition. We will call the principle of choosing the worst, going for the best, traditional. 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. This 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 one, in one person. This is probably where his praise 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 an approximate equality of peacetime: one super-human leader against the rest of the mass.

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 a head. Let his people officially shout about the sun of the nation and only obey him. And you don’t have to shout any more. Today, of course, anyone risks their career and money, if their people are lazy and incomprehensible and do not shout at all, they walk quietly, stupidly. Which is very important 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 teachers, 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. The appearance of a diligent student is welcomed by all teachers of the world. It’s just that the view becomes a way of undeserved reward and then a 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 new who first who second. 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 troubles 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 an enemy that is not yet visible. The crisis in sight? 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. And if the worst is ahead, it does not mean that it is the best. It is the best in adaptation, in traditional servility, mimicry, otherwise it will not 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 situation of anxiety and believe in the future, you just need to choose the worthy ones. Responsible people. But where can I get them now? The problem of selecting the worst in the name of 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 so as not to waste time. The entire regime seems to be mobilising. Any alternatives are rejected and pursued, perhaps not even literally but carefully, everything superfluous is cut off. In all areas of the battle with invisible intruders, there is a struggle as if it is the struggle of a traditional person with his shadow. It’s hard to find a cat in a black room the Chinese say. 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. Where do decent people come from? The whole regime works against them. The real 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 decent here is quite consistent with the only discipline Decent huddle 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 can brag.
