Refag

I don’t know, but it seems to me that the Zerefs are happy to part with socialism, which the new generations contemptuously call scoop and cotton wool. Of course, there is also an element of strong propaganda in this contempt. For a quarter of a century, this propaganda worked against past socialism. Everyone worked, of course, for-profit, for privatization, that is, for that very private property. Many peripheral and Asian peoples have never had the institution of private property, but there has always been a hierarchy. There was its own primitive elite, it led its peoples on traditional principles. It was a tradition. You will be surprised, but there is no crisis if the hierarchy is recreated again. The main thing for traditional people is to form castes again. Now they create castes with money and private property. So, what is the reason for the next crisis of the ancestral world? After all, even the past socialism was a variation of generic, hence collective, property. That is, genetically or by the will of the blood to all traditional peoples (and Kazakhs are among them) are a member of the collective, that is, a generic socialist. So, it is not enough to be a socialist on the scale of the people, on the scale of the state, but enough to want it without realizing it. The whole world around us is kin! Is it bad?

As the practice of new live shows, it is evil for the state to have such socialists tied to family ties. Any kinship relationship leads to corruption. It is for the civilized world that corruption is harmful and brings harm. For the traditional world, for people who are faced with market relations completely unprepared for them – this is a disaster. But the unenviable future is not yet visible. Every Zeref enjoys his wealth and exaltation. It is essential for the tradition to be ahead of everyone, in this case, richer than everyone. The whole system is covered with corruption and the Zerefs see no reason for a decadent mood.

However, the sudden urge to draw everything around you to yourself may be a repetition of the example shown. What the government does, we do. That is, the government cultivated a radically private world against the generic one? No way. To create independence, the government relied on the village element. For provincial people who speak their native language perfectly. That is people for whom cryptosocialism or generic socialism, relations with relatives are closer to their interests. How did all this take root in the minds of people-generic collectivists? As soon as they got to the cities, that is, the centers of the local market, they immediately turned into their antipodes – the most radical private owners: this is mine, this is yours?!

Once again, there is an element of imitation of the rise and strong enrichment of power in this passion. Such people are big children. Repeats everything the authority does. However, among such children, there are those who are happy to pray for their property today, and moreover, are proud of it.

USSR (scoop) made and raised individualists? Yes, of course, all the reformers did not come from America. Among the leaders of the party nomenclature, there were people, or the elite, who could think: «Why is this not mine? Why is it that what I do not dispose of is not mine? Doesn’t belong to me? «Really cool dream?

In the same way, any person from the Middle Ages sometimes regretted: «Now I have risen, now Allah has given me everything, many sons, fat flocks, a white yurt, and the land where my countless cattle graze is not mine…» No khan, no elder, no tribal leader could privatize the land in pastime. The land, the nomads are given by the sky. All the people can say that. And any sultan, ban, biy in front of the people is a midge at this moment. The generic stereotype of socialism is the strongest stereotype. It’s 5,000 years old! The passion to be above all and above all in the traditional world is the strongest still now. This is the most important passion of all the Zerefs on earth.

Neophytes

They were educated in socialism, raised money in the market, and went to Paris.

All such migration is based on the complexes of the provincials and on the motives of gross materialism. No one is interested in anything but themselves. And this is even though the culture of the collective is in the archetype of different traditional peoples. The market virus has made relatives, fellow countrymen, acquaintances just accomplices in small games. They only help everyone to snatch, stick together, get rich at the expense of others. To stick to get attached to the budget, to get into the power, to the cage of the main families, and to live at the expense of others. Whether it is necessary to ask anything from «journalists» who in these family and clan showdowns are not artists at all, but simple contacts, connections. This is reified and soulless, emasculated and crushed the market traditional man. If we consider that in the metropolis they themselves began to degrade to gross materialism, that is, to theft by cars, then only different train compositions were created. We, the residents of the former republics, certainly did not expect that Russia would be such a mess. And what difference does it make in what languages its passengers speak, from car drivers to conductors? But there is still a difference. And this material race divides exactly the cars of the same train. People of the same collective culture. Yes, we are the Horde, we are the Horde, but the virus of the market has turned us all into predators, hermit wolves, and loners. All run and prowl, as if someone to crush, tear, swallow. There were only literally brutal collective showdowns. And somewhere they have already begun. Colloquial speech, the languages of the peoples, were just a pretext for division and separation. And the languages of the revival of local ethnic groups throughout the CIS have become the languages of a bloody war. Problems of national revival were just a way and a reason for privatization. Now, these languages of post-privatization have become the languages of tribal black passion. The masses also wanted privatization. The bureaucrats still want the same thing – to grab, to snatch, to hide. Oh, by the way, why do they still want to actually steal, instead of reviving what they expressed such great concern for? And nothing, mind you, outstanding supranational. No newspaper, no state elite. Only business.

In these conditions of the impending fighting of all against all, it is necessary, as it were, to look for ways out. And whether it exists, whether it exists at all? Or do the Remids (future statesmen) need to be in the shoes of Nicolas Chauvin, all literally and universally? Is it really time for real nationalists to replace the hypocrites? Or hypocrisy for power is the normal state of all politicians. Are the Zefags innate hypocrites, or have they forced hypocrites that circumstances, low starting status, and greed push them to wear different masks? Just now, technological progress and the perfection of communication facilities, are taking place in the massive urbanization of the cultural periphery. The Revcon assures that those who saw the golden toilets first went abroad in the first generation and saw all the benefits of the civilized world are the most radical supporters of this civilization. All Zefa’s neophytes are such radicals. They believe that from the primitive tribal world, you can immediately get to the post-industrial one. This does not require the work of the soul, work on yourself, you just need to have a lot of money. And where to get this money? Only at home. And what do you need to do about this? Why is there such hypocrisy and corruption in the Zefag homeland? The neophytes went straight to Paris and London. So, you can build Paris and London at home! And Singapore. Immediately. All dreams come true. How not love the market and democracy? Such people, by the way, are easy to manage.

If the market virus makes everyone just shadows on the ground, then the market virus in the place of its incubation makes Zefa just creative vampires, hungry for blood. «We didn’t live like this!» They shout furiously. They shout from behind the hill. Shouting on a trip to Paris and after a trip to Paris. It’s just like the first time. They are echoed by fellow countrymen chewing bananas on the ground and spitting into porcelain toilets: «Yes, we did not live like this! Down with the dictatorship! Down with the thieves! Down with corruption!» But they will behave themselves, and this has already been proven by practice, in the same way. The virus is the same for everyone. Neophytes want everything at once. It doesn’t matter how. If under the dictators they snatched and hid something culturally, then in connection with universal education and awareness, many people now want to snatch it and catch up. But there is not much freedom for everyone! Where your freedom begins, your neighbor’s freedom ends, then. The screaming neophytes of Zefa do not understand that there is not enough good for everyone, no matter how much they yell about justice and freedom in one bottle. The lack of culture and past morals of the collective is the de facto reason for this.

Self-destruction

Money and feudal thinking

Of course, the market idea that appeared and settled in the minds is not done in one day. You probably understand that to understand trading, you need a condition. In a purely conservative (in the same feudal) environment, trade was carried out by outcasts from the point of view of the feudal lords, some nonentities unworthy to kiss their hand. Here we will see a rigid hierarchical pyramid of noble titles and ranks. When this pyramid is there, the outcasts and nonentities can pass the inheritance into the hands of only young outcasts and nonentities their descendants, the same rejected nonentities of feudal society, from generation to generation. However, despite the ossification of any feudal pyramid that does not allow the dirty common people to join its ranks, the common people, in turn, despite all sorts of hardships, needs, diseases, and wars, continued to reproduce themselves. And if the noble elite grew by one unit of descendant, then the conditional rabble (conditional) multiplied by ten descendant (everything depended on the influx of money that the primitive natural economy brought and specifically the labor of the forces, serfs, and other burghers who escaped from the peasant need). These most ungenerous, but personally free, created simply miracles of progress. Thanks to philistinism, the value of money has grown. Money began to play a major role. But the attitude towards hucksters and speculators remained at the same level of contempt.

Let’s take Spain. Spain had the largest fleet in Europe, so it was the first country in the past. The grandees of Spain were the most arrogant. When the Turks cut off the ultimate European power (even Portugal) from Chinese silk-they blocked the Great Silk Road, some scoundrels who were looking for their luck, offered to find India on the other way. One of these rootless men was Christopher Columbus. As you know, he discovered America, showed other scoundrels and adventurers the way. A crowd of strange people moved to the new continent. These people were superfluous to Europe. In addition to the scoundrels, all sorts of dons and Caballeros (the lowest noble class of Spain) hoped for good luck. But in America, they could raise their status, grow to the level of a grandee and a rich man. So, American gold and silver fell into feudal Spain along with the ambitions of this motley crowd. The value of money has grown.

It must have grown, but how? We do not forget that the church stood for the protection of conservative morality and order. And besides, the peasants of Spain themselves are freedom-loving people, but the most compliant, like all people of the traditional world. Money from the New World could not change the feudal mores fast. For any process, especially for the process of changing consciousness, it takes time, perhaps it will take centuries.

American gold has increased the number of burghers. But these philistines did not set themselves the task of becoming equal to the grandees, as is usually the case when many of the provincial population flee from the countryside and after a while, intoxicated of rootless activists, begins to demand equality (or the abolition of estates). In Spain, although a lot of gold was poured into its economy, there was no bourgeois revolution. On the contrary, Spain turned from the first European power into an ordinary rural province of Europe, which after 300 years Napoleon Bonaparte even deprived of independence. There was some economic growth in the first 25 years when caravels arrived with goods and gold. But then Spanish goods (textiles, for example) began to cost twice as much as the Dutch or French ones. But before that, the Castilian royal couple even turned Spain into one pasture for Spanish sheep. (It wasn’t the English king who started the enclosure. Namely, the Spanish monarchy.) And so, with a pile of sheep’s wool that Edward V Tudor could only dream of, mountains of Indian gold, Spanish grandees began… to sew themselves new elegant dresses. The price of all goods in Spain just jumped. And not only the goods on the market, but also the labor force. This is, imagine, a conservative elite in the flesh. And the traditional people. And for a conservative person, whether he is a king, grandee, donor just a landowner, it is important what his dress is. Whether his outfit is more expensive than the competitor, whether it is more thinly finished, and at what master (the firm does not knit brooms) – in general, it became higher or lower than the competitor? Who is he, at last, the same Zerot or Remid? Imagine, these conservative sentiments « who above- who below» is characteristic not only of the noble nobility. They live in the conservative people and manifest themselves even after the proletarian revolutions (and not just the bourgeois ones) somewhere in the margins. It doesn’t matter at all whether another decorated rooster is blue-blooded or just arrived from the village yesterday. Of course, the bourgeoisie or the bourgeoisie brought the imitation of conservative ideals to the level of kitsch. (And you are not looking at the modern bourgeoisie of capitalism, that is, at 5—8 generations from the first rooster fathers.) The most ridiculous and rabid in imitation were the French men – Nouveau Riches, who robbed Bourbon and nobles of France. But they were brought to their senses by Napoleon. The war of Napoleon somewhat distracted the French from the policy of «above-below», everyone was already declared equal before Napoleon. But the conservatism of the French regarding the «higher-lower» was destroyed, brought out not by the executions of the noble elite alone, but by decades, centuries of useless ostentation. The meaning of «higher-lower» was lost in the crowd. The same cannot be said about the future traditional peoples, who, ironically, from a formation much lower than capitalism, fell into capitalism and democracy.

In such societies, the modern deity of the Refags – money cannot possibly have the meaning of a local god. There were their orders, their religion, their customs. They even went a little under the bush during the so-called socialism.

P.S. But even under socialism, traditional culture has defined and distinguished the party aristocracy and the non-party grassroots. The hierarchy was reborn as if nothing had happened. As if it was necessary. And it was really necessary. Without a hierarchy, traditional peoples, whose blood is «above and below» according to the law of the universe, fall into the abyss, their elimination occurs by the laws of nature themselves. Let’s think about it.

When the elite religious organizations from governments accumulate the Zeremids, there is stagnation and crisis. The collapse of the idea and system of Zeremids conformity 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 idea and responsibility.

The Zelot is a superman, a hero, a prophet, the most gifted among the traditional elite. A zealot is an ambitious but disinterested person, he is a fighter against the traditional elite (Zerots), with Pharisee officials (Remids, Zeremids), with the people, if the peoples are obsessed with dark passions.

Chapter 8

The young and old bingo

Bingo doesn’t fall to everyone. All lottery players know that winning depends on luck. Not everyone gets the jackpot. If you look at wealth through the eyes of a bingo player, there are many similarities. The main thing is to get rich. And how the balls rolled there or closed the contacts in the slot machine, it is impossible to trace. So, the oligarchs and corrupt officials sat down as if with young bingo players at the same table. It doesn’t matter how the win happened. The jackpot is important. Who wins, that and pan. A person with opportunities, no matter if you are a corrupt person, a fraudster, a conman, you are a pan. He who is poor is a sucker. All the people who are playing bingo are outside of morals and complex categories. Anything outside of winning is not interesting. Even the parents of young players at the game table can’t figure it out. It is difficult for parents themselves to remain authorities in their families. If no money, your kids can think of something else. They are attracted to other people’s uncles. They may be corrupt, but they won. Therefore, such young people do not condemn corrupt officials but worship them, they want to have a lot of money because they like corrupt officials.

It had its lottery.

The time of the so-called reforms is the time of migration of a part of the rural population to the city. All this life during the reforms can be called in one word – adaptation, but not reflection. Ordinary people «thing» in old age. In general, they think when they have time. Are they thinking or pretending? If thinking distracts from daily bread and survival, is it thinking? Those who think of old age, waste time on trifles.

No one here needs thinkers. And the moral here is at zero. Although all the Zerefs talk about morals. For traditional people, family comes first. So, they play this game and want to get everything at once. No one thinks that corruption is a bad thing. If you translate the word corruption into feudal language, the meaning will be taking care of the family. The care of the family under feudalism and in the primitive world comes first. Screw you with your clever words. It’s not for us. With thoughts other than how to ensure prosperity, and this is how all traditional rural families behave, everyone was doomed to fall to the bottom. He who does not think, but does, is a superman. This, of course, is not the jackpot yet. But the game is already nearby, at the next table. Here, in contrast to the bingo table, you can see how they lived. So, the parents of the bingo generation couldn’t think, didn’t have the opportunity, they just didn’t have time to think.

So, the feeble reflection of the new youth comes from the lack of educators. For them, there were no teachers because the old morality had disappeared. All the old teachers were in the trash, out of the general attention. Former Soviet slogan Mir-trud-May (peace-labor-May) was replaced by World-game-wolf! The bingo players are waiting to see what lucky numbers the host will call.

The world is a wolf game.

And extremely fast passion. All or nothing. Because the young people of bingo are very nervous, quick-tempered, and excitable. And also insensitive, angry, and apathetic, quickly cools down if it is not even interested in being angry. In addition, because of the primitiveness of the meaning, it most likely does not value life. From the outside, it seems that they do not value anything, but this happens simply in a frenzy and the pursuit of wealth. In fact, all young people love themselves very much. They are egoists. These young guys from traditional families imitate Western values. They see this life, total lies, and corruption. But we forgot the corruption is about taking care of the family. From the point of view of tradition, this is an excellent value quality. But it is else’s been a question. Around always sounds: «Do not worry, do not load». Nobody didn’t need to worry about anything else. If there is no gain, then life is meaningless.
