Manifesto: Revolution

This is the name of the book of Ron Paul , who took in the first republican elections (cokus) candidates for US presidential candidates in Aiova Honorary Third place. He lagged behind the leaders, Mitt Romny and Rick Santorum, by only three percent. And many intellectuals in America regret that he did not take the first place, although they understand that Ron cannot win Ron anyway, but they will not give him. Because there is no such anarchist like this (I wanted to write - count), a former urologist and gynecologist, in America, and most likely will not be long.

Let's say in Russia with its level of freedom and understanding the possible and permissible in politics, there can not be a character of such a radical and irreconcilable power at all. General Swan in front of him Salag, Zhirinovsky - yellow -shaped chick, Navalny - a crying mouse. And if he had appeared, he would have been stale as a traitor and Russophobe. And he would have remained uninteresting marginal. Good, if not crazy. What he offers America to return to true values ​​is no doubt a revolution: after all, he demands that America withdraw its troops from all 130 countries where these troops are today. As if parody of Prokhanov, he calls America an international gendarme, a police state and an empire of lies, and demands to stop assistance to all countries that America helps today, including Israel (calculating vengefully how many billions of this gratuitous assistance for Israel are meaninglessly spent). Ron of the floor of this is not enough, he demands from America to leave the UN and NATO, he had long called to end the wars in Iraq (just stopped) and in Afghanistan, close the reserve federal system (financial stronghold of America), return to the payments with gold and silver, allow the free cure of drugs and weapons, and as a concession to conservatives - to ban abortion.

Society should be free, including from the state, and freedom of adult society cannot harm.

Ron Paul himself also calls himself a conservative, fights for the mandate from the Republican Party, but his right is such a thing that the left simply rest. Previously, he was already trying to become president from the Libertarian party, his ideas are really partly libertarian, but this is about the same proportion as the tiger is a cat. It is clear that if Ron Paul would come to power in America, then it would become another country, which simply is not in the world today. And it cannot be. Without any show -off, which in America, of course, are much less than in Russia, but still there. Without imperial ambitions, without attempts to stand on boat. And at the same time, Ron Paul assures that this is not just sanity or originality, but the only way out of the dead end that the United States drove itself, spending much more than they have the right. America in debt is like in silk, as the author of “Manifesto: Revolution” writes: “We occupy from Europe to protect Europe, we occupy Japan to maintain low oil prices that go to Japan, we occupy the Arab regimes to establish democracy in Iraq.” We help everyone, even those who do not ask us about it, it's time to think about ourselves. As they say, about the soul.

As it does not seem strange, but Ron Paul reminds our old man Tolstoy with his fearlessness and uncompromising, but he writes much to the slope. But the titanic intransigence is the same, Yasnaya Polyanskaya.

In short, Ron Paul promises what they would like to hear rather radical liberals, and quite conservatives who believe that a social state is a myth that needs to be dispelled. And what a myth is it if the top managers have a salary even in a crisis, which means that the economy lives completely not according to market rules, but for some other.

In colleagues in the election race, all these declins cause a certain irritation. Most of them are ordinary religious obscurantists and xenophobes, but even against the general background, the last discovery of the republican casket - Rick Santorum - surprises with some kind of purity of primitive and prohibitive naivety. “We all have the rights given to us by God,” says this middle -aged parishioner of the Roman Catholic Church, who loves hypocritical photographs with a baby stroller in his hands, as our eldest loves to star with the cubs of terrible animals. “And our duty to live in accordance with God's laws.” What he says is disgusting not by what is wrong, but a look of a foul -smelling banality that resembles a plasticine soul. And it is very similar to how our youngest stated: that freedom is better than not free. That is, a sober thought in these virgin brains did not spend the night yet. Two approximately the same eagles of Rick Perry and Michel Bakhman, having received as little on coks in Aiova as soon as possible for a complete humiliation, hastily collected suitcases and decided that their time had not yet arrived. But Rick Santorum is on the hands - the rabid Republicans from among the most conservative voters will now vote with a big basis for him.

However, luck, most likely, will smile at the former governor Massachusetts Mittu Romny. This is a completely adult and reasonable politician who at one time created such medical reform for his native state that no person can be left without medical assistance, no matter how poor he is and no matter what dubious documents he would present. Alas, the pouring of this policy was negatively affected by the person, which was generally characteristic of the Republicans, the shift is extremely to the right, but Mitt Romney tries to remain within the framework of decency and does not constantly call God by name to confirm his competence.

However, Ron Paul can still play its revolutionary role. If he does not manage (and he does not succeed) to become a nominee from the Republican Party, he will be able to try to nominate as an independent candidate, or as a candidate from the Libertarian Party. And, having spoken a lot of blood to friends, republican, take important percentage of the votes from the same Romny. True, skeptics say, its right -wing levity may turn out to be the display and radical supporters of the liberal of Barack Obama, whom many observers almost already wrote off the accounts that in vain. Yes, he can do almost nothing today, since he is completely blocked by the Republican Congress, yes, he did not even fulfill his first promise - to close the Guantanamo prison, but the year that remains before the election is too long a story. Whether the anarchist Ron will take the floor of Obama, this is still a question, but the fact that he himself has not yet said the last word is true.
