Frog caviar

What is the danger of flotagia thus involving the archaic population in market relations?

The market materializes the archaic energy of competition and destruction.

Blood and kinship play a cruel joke with the archaic population. The same joke is taken under control by external forces. That is why radical Islamism and nationalism, which are super-controlled from the outside, are dangerous.

If we talk about the Arabs of the Maghreb, they had to try everything. Many reform officers adopted nationalism or national socialism. But they didn’t know which side to choose – the West or the USSR. Before the Suez Canal crisis, Abdel Nasser was the best friend of the German National Socialists, who did not have time to escape to Argentina. Some of these “specialists” settled in Egypt. However, the power and authority of the USSR allowed these Arab socialists to talk about socialism in general. (I don’t know, is the Ba’ath Party socialist rather than nationalist? Because the catalysts of socialism still excite local patriotism among the Zerefs. But the catalysts of socialism are still, closer to my reflection, less harmful to Zerefs peoples than the catalysts of democracy).

If the current catalysts increase the capacity of life, then the population will grow rapidly, like in Libya under Gaddafi, Iraq under Hussein, and Egypt under Mubarek.

However, all the leaders of Asia do not take into account one important thing:

The population is growing exponentially, and the benefits of maintaining the standard of living are arithmetic. But all the Zerefs want to dominate! At least to live with dignity and not be disgraced in front of relatives. (That’s why the Zerefs mostly brag about where they work or where the children study at weddings and commemorations. If children study in the USA, then it’s just great!) The socialist catalyst pours equality into the heads, and the democratic one – inequality. Which is better? The question is rhetorical. However, the local native elite is constantly enriching itself, thereby irritating the crowd, which is the main reason for the uprising (in Egypt, the Mubarak clan ruled for over thirty years, which is all tired). People who don’t understand anything about democracy want to throw off this native elite so that the next tadpole becomes a frog (I use the evolution of a frog from caviar into a tadpole and a frog itself all the time in Revcon. If you declare a tadpole a frog, it will still be a tadpole, but he will still become a frog and not something else. The democratic catalyst and his laboratory assistants want the caviar to be democratic right away. It’s impossible. I hope this is clear now).

The outstanding boxer of our time, Meni Pacquiao, built several multi-story houses for the poor at his own expense. Why did he do it? Because he’s a politician now. And perhaps the people of the Philippines will elect him president.

Without a democratic catalyst in the minds of Filipinos, it would have been impossible for some fist-fighting expert to become president.

After a while, children will be born again in this area, and a lot of children and the same problem will arise as if there was no Pacquiao, and he did nothing. But you can say to Pacquiao that Pacquiao’s act of goodwill is a simultaneous act of populism from Pacquiao.

Of course, flotagia excites traditional people to breed (to fight?), but flotagia does not prepare officials at all. Zerefs become officials and steal again, stealing endlessly, like a hungry loader who got into a grocery warehouse.

Why do different crooks get into officials?

This is a different question and, in fact, a problem for my other book (which is being prepared).

Both democracy and socialism work with the lower classes all the time, where there is rapid reproduction. This is probably the scourge of all mankind. Tradition does not give a chance in the face of another aristocracy or local elite for the children of “commoners” to get to the top. So do the commoners, who gained power due to the revolution and coups. They attach only their children and relatives to big money. Does caviar turn into a frog again?

Chapter 5

Forerunner

Our people are outraged not by the injustice of life and power but by the creation of a new caste system.

Since the Maghreb, all current Maidan events have occurred on the market civilization’s periphery. In the former USSR, going so also, so today, the Maidan is predictable in terms of the level of urbanization and sudden urbanization after the so-called market reforms and privatization. Who are the revolutionaries leading in the name of human rights and democracy at the end of the global financial pyramid?

The most sensitive to cynicism and lies are rural residents, many often from large traditional families, where parents, fathers, or mothers are hardworking, or from incomplete urban, suburban families since provincials are the most radical deniers of lies and hypocrisy. But they are also carriers of an inferiority complex against the background of the same lies and hypocrisy that made hypocrites and other arrogant and wealthy people rich. Now, they began to remove their complexes not by denying lies and hypocrisy but by becoming the best students of hypocrites and corrupt officials. They are the best students in this case of the worst, and they are ready to walk on heads literally because being rich today is fashionable and prestigious. However, the main rule of traditional morality for all peoples is honor and the honest name of the father, but this has been the norm in the past. Who needs an honest father’s name today?

Actually, along with total market urbanization, when millions of rural residents were forced to flee to the cities, everyone seemed to forget about the honest name of any property. The past honesty was connected with the past communist ideology. Therefore, even the usual integrity has become unnecessary. All the former provincials just wanted to stay in the city and live. And for speculation in the goods market, honesty is even harmful since speculation in everything has become the population’s main occupation. No one was interested in what the local authorities were doing; people were engaged in speculation and resale of goods – initial accumulation, as economists would say about it. (With one amendment: it is impossible to demand integrity from rural people who have known need. Can you not require women to give birth in four months?)

Traditional peoples have also forgotten pity. Although, pity for former nomads is also not peculiar to nomads. The nomads always had the support of relatives in the first place. Relatives should support relatives. And no else. So it was in the past. How did it become now?

The reforms were the very disaster on which the real folklore nepotism flourished. This cultural quality was bound to lead to total corruption. Corruption has even become an informal ideology in the new state (everyone knows this situation was in all republics, not only in our country. Although we are still in Asia). This primal passion initially crept in at the very core of the new regime. What else could the ideology be supported on? After all, no one was ready for independence, including the top. Officially, the top declared their commitment to democracy and market values, but this is all for the public. The whole system was built on kinship (ruling family) principles. In each region, over time, a ruling family was to appear. These relatives appeared everywhere. Relatives pulled relatives with them. People of the same kind had to appear in all institutions headed by relatives. The same picture was all over the republic. The Republican tribal elite had to form alliances with regional and district elites. They can’t just walk away from culture, age-old practice, and age-old experience.

As for the unusual callousness of traditional people, so traditional people did not need to be taught how to survive. For relatives, other people, especially people of another ethnic group, are strangers. Therefore, such people, the Zerefs, are the best executors of orders. Moreover, the administrative apparatus’s second market quality and kinship have become Asian performance. In any army in the world, reasoning and obstinate soldiers are not needed. Therefore, the so-called market reforms painlessly took place for the population. Everyone quickly forgot everything. Propaganda focused on the famine caused by the Communists during Soviet modernization in the 30s of the last century. Everyone forgot the losses from market reforms as if on command. What is beautiful about Zeref’s low-reflexive memory is rapid forgetfulness. In general, the entire memory of the people was now in charge of the authorities. It recommended, taught, and even ordered us to remember only the miscalculations, stupidity, and cruelty of the bloody communists. Although it looked strange, the former communists who were in power in the USSR became adherents of the democratic and blamed their teachers for all their sins. But now is independence! It was necessary to carry out privatization faster. In other words, to rewrite the former Soviet property for themselves.
