Алмаз Браев – Maidan in Asia. Kazakhs and Arabs (страница 4)

Here, we will present only one example of how rigidly economic reforms were carried out in the former republic of the USSR. This example is taken from a provincial newspaper. Here, at first, there was a strong regression. It was difficult to call the irresponsibility and selfishness of officials reforms because reforms are always understood as some progress. Probably, all peoples have had reforms, and probably, all peoples have had reformers of all ages. You can recall, for example, the English King Edward V, who drove the peasants from the family lands in the name of the nation. None of the local patriots would even think of accusing Edward V of communism or dictatorship. However, almost as many English peasants died under him as Kazakhs died under Stalin.

“Grandfather Anatoly from room 29 died in the summer. Once he had debts of his apartment it had to be given away for debts. Grandfather was brought to the dorm by young people and left lying in the corridor, where he lived out his last days. Sometimes, the neighborhood boys fed him what to eat. After a month and a half, he was gone. The old man was found dead there, in the corridor.

Then Rakhimzhan Ata ( grandfather Kazakh) died on New Year’s Eve. He couldn’t hear well and almost couldn’t see. He lived in the hostel for only three months. They said he also gave up his apartment for debts. Rahimzhan ata rarely left the room to take boiling water from the neighbors. He was last seen on December 31. Three days later, he was found frozen in his room under the bed.

On January 10, Ermek from the 9th room died. The 13-year-old daughter of a single father was taken to a special school.

The last to die was Zhenya from room 59. The former PMK painter has two small children left. Now they live with the neighbors.

The stories of the residents of the hostel on Skulkin Street, 5a, resemble entries from the diary of Tanya Savicheva from besieged Leningrad. Only here, the war and the blockade have nothing to do with it. The events take place in absolutely peaceful times. Just a few minutes walk from the sparkling lights of the central avenue.

– And how do you bury the dead? – I asked Muratbek, who invited me to the hostel, to tell me about his and his neighbors’ problems.

“Is nothing way,” he says. – We call the police. A car arrives and picks the corpse up. Last year, 13 people died here.

We are standing on the dormitory’s first floor, with no windows or doors. Instead, there are huge empty openings. Someone’sSomeone’s barbaric hand broke the partitions. The dirt and stench are unbearable all around…

In a five-minute walk from the central avenue of Aktobe, as in the besieged Leningrad, they die of cold and exhaustion. 26 families remain in the house, where there is still no heating. The light was cut off long ago, and there has never been gas here.”

Newspaper “Diapazon” Aktobe city, 1999.

The events described in the local newspaper took place during the reforms of the 90s). This shows how market reforms were carried out in the former USSR on its periphery. What was the crisis, and how did the residents survive it.

The reason for Asian autocracy

Autocracy is only among traditional peoples. Moreover, they are prolific; more than five children have in every family.

Imagine a family without a father, where there are ten children. What will happen?

Autocracy is not like a loving father. No. Autocracy is the limit of what is permissible. Autocracy, its people seize everything by rank. This serves as a signal to others to live within their means. If the population increases to the limit, the local elite will have to lead the crowd “on a hike” or just open the borders so that the extra population attacks, for example, Russia with migrant workers. So, the elite captures everything. It means more and more that they are the elite. This is the restriction mechanism. It leads to a crisis of a narrow and rich top and numerous fertile bottom.

Today, everyone can shout about democracy.

But the whole meaning and actions will be the same. Some seize everything, and others multiply and, as it were, create poverty. The reason for fertility is very ancient. People must reproduce faster, faster than neighboring tribes; this is a guarantee of future victory and dominance over other tribes. The weak and the few are removed to unfavorable places. Fathers fulfill their duty to the leader and the people (although today, it seems too much and just biological selfishness).

So. Today, we see clearly the leader and his people. There can be no other way. With the new democracy, the crowd wants to be led to capture (what?). If the leader does not give or lead somewhere on a campaign to get trophies, the crowd either attacks itself (like guest workers) or is dissatisfied with something. This can be expressed by the words, “We have given birth to our sons to you, given horses, now you must lead us on a hike!”

The mechanism of democratic elections, especially with a known result in these conditions, is used as a real war campaign! But the campaign of oligarchs hired people oligarchs as a promise of all the best to the voters. We must not forget for a second what voters with the genetics of warriors want to get. They understand the promised benefits as real trophies, which are pledged to either by the leader or by candidates for deputy. There is always some gratuitousness in this, waiting for a miracle, blessings, and abundance. How was this abundance achieved in the past? In the past, this abundance was from military campaigns and victories. Therefore, the so-called democratic elections are becoming more frequent or out of turn due to another crisis. This is the crisis of expectations in the first place.

Chapter 7

Flotagia

So, flotagia is the replacement of principles with petty egoisms. In most provinces, those who did not know these principles and did not have time to understand what it had no principles, so there was no choice of means; there was a mad passion for being like Europeans. But this imitation is, of course, mechanical and material.

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

The market materializes the archaic energy of competition and destruction.

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

The term flotagia appeared in Revcon as a neologism from the two words flotation and Refag – a person with market reflection to understand this process.

GLOSSARY

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

The zeref’s loop – the baby boom, overheating of the population.

The Zerot (zeroot = zeref+root) – the traditional feudal elite

The zerot’s loop creates a solid cast and impenetrable social barriers. None of the lower castes could enter the feudal elite – the lack of social mobility pre-revolutionary situation.

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

The remid’s loop – the elite’s struggle with the brightest personality, the cooperation of second and third parties against the hero and the prophet.

For several generations, the Refag has been a person of a trading civilization; reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian-refag (re + high).

The Zeremid is a man of the first generation of traditional elites (or city, fresh citizens). He has a half-hard social reflex custom and an inferiority complex that he wants to cover up, so he invents a new ancestry, creates a fine root, and has the fancy “tail” behind. If this is a modern Zeremid, it is usually a former villager who has superficially mastered urban life culture, and he is half urban and half rural.

Zefa is a man from the city’s first generation with inclinations toward the market, speculation, and trade, at least what circumstances forced him.

The Zeremid’s loop – the Zeremids are approximate imitators. They imitate the elite, any idea, any direction just to be good for their families. Imitation, hypocrisy, and fanaticism harm any cause, state, or idea: hypocrisy, pharisaism, fanaticism, and the adjustment of marginal strata to the existing idea and order. When the elite religious organizations from any government accumulate the Zeremids, there is stagnation and crisis. The collapse of the idea and system of Zeremids conformity is inevitable. They adapt to the system for the sole purpose of supporting their family. That is, they do the same thing as the Zerefs, but for this, they want to get into the elite, the privileged stratum, or the state system; they quickly learn, master new skills, and imitate the formal standards of ideas and responsibility.
