Алмаз Браев – A statesman who doesn’t exist yet. Remid (страница 4)
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!
