In the opposition

Dissidents and politicians

November 6, 2009 Leonid Radzikhovsky

These two sets can intersect, examples are rare and tags: Havel, Mandela ...

I have not heard about dissidents - ordinary ministers, that lower, ordinary officials. Maybe, however, they are less known.

In any case, in Russian, Russian history, there were no dissidents and politicians. Not a single dissident was related to government, to power.

By the way, dissidents are rather respected people, often even opponents.

Politicians are rather despised people, often even supporters.

It is clear: dissidents are considered disinterested, politicians - selfish (not necessarily at the level of the pocket, although ultimately ...).

The politician strives for power, the dissident - for the ideal.

For a politician, the criterion of truth is success, and judges are sponsors and voters.

For the dissident, the criterion of truth is his conscience, and the judges are himself and his close circle.

Politician - extrovert and conformist, dissident - introvert and non -conformist.

The politician is an egoist. Wanting the power for himself, he pulls up to the Durak voter.

The dissident is an egocentric. He tries - obviously hopeless - to pull the voter to himself, or does not pay attention to the voter at all. He is his own voter.

Therefore, dissidents, as a rule, avoid “politicians”, are engaged in human rights or other humanitarian activities.

Now the question is: the current non -systemic opposition in Russia - dissidents or politicians?

In my opinion, the answer is obvious.

The stupid-hut-humid policy of the authorities instinctively and quite prudently pushed the opposition into the dissidents.

Public policy is destroyed. Two dummies “from the opposition” remained: a snag-laches and a jester-stall.

Who does not suit such a role, have a choice - or spit on a “policy” and go to business, private life or for official service.

Or - if temperament requires actions, go into the opposition of the non -systemic one. And in it, as a result of natural selection, people remain by the psychological type close to dissidents. Others are eliminated.

This is understandable.

Only people of a very definite warehouse can go to rallies with good chances of "riot police", where the well-known hundred of "faithful supporters" gathers.

Who is the dissident? “I have stylistic disagreements with power” (Sinyavsky). “The power is disgusting like the hands of the branded” (Mandelstam). That is, such people certainly do not need power, but they would not know what to do with it ... But the struggle with the authorities attracts, with all the risk. Moreover, now it’s not the same time: they will still not put planting (most likely).

But if you really do not strive for power, then this reformates the picture of the world. "I'm free, I am nobody!" Do not lie, do not suck on the voter, play on his greed, awake, laziness, envy, stupidity and other charming qualities of the people's soul (all over the world, not only in Russia!), To which drug traders are addressed, known as “politicians”.

Classical sample anti -policy - V.I. Novodvorskaya.

“Sausage to you?! And the whip is moral! - Not pleasing?! Come on-substitute the file parts, and I will get it anyway! On ideological flogging-strokes, savages, mud in Mercedes and Metro! " Honestly? And then! Complete honesty: what I think - I’m cutting! Is there a chance for mass success, for example, in the elections? And to hell with this lentil stew? He will not exchange for dissident original people.

Other opposition, of course, do not adhere to such radical positions, but life blows in the same direction ...

How can you lure the voter (this is if there were elections)?

With stories, what kind of people are the best, the best, the most beautiful, the most offended and how everything will be, and nothing will be required of him, only take away the oligarchs from the bad officials and divide (and they will share it without you-you don’t work ... but for the sake of you. Open your mouth and close your eyes-now the Galushki will fly ...).

And there are no illusions. Firstly, all over the world, people are filthy on this sweet rottener (therefore sweet, which rotting), only in the west the system “puts blocks” does not allow populists to turn around in full width. And secondly, our certainly does not have immunity for this. It’s just that this aria for 18 years in a row has been withdrawn by a clear, open fraudster who only does what is licked to power and buys new 300-meter apartments for himself, he gradually, reluctantly, ceases to believe him ... although the LDPR still collects many times more votes than any “responsible batch” (such as former “right” or “apples”).

This means that if the same roulades sound “on the new”, but convincingly - at the level of Middle Galkin from the corporate party, then political success is ensured. True, the power of such an archarovets - even in the conditions of great shocks - is unlikely to receive. But in the parliament with his gang-command will be.

But people who risked the skin for years, went against the wind, respect themselves (and not without reason) for such behavior, enjoyed the respect of others - i.e. Dissants - will not go to such public prostitution. They will not want to. Not capable. They cannot cross out their life and their essence.

And - will remain pride, but with a broken trough. They will receive as much votes as Bukovsky in the presidential election (or did he seem to have reached the vote?).

Who would be in power if Vanka-Vstanka of the Russian state rolled over again?

If it is a “shaving scan”, as in 1917-again fascists. Only this time is not red, but black and brown. But I do not believe in these horror stories. Firstly, there are no such ones, even on the horizon cannot be seen. Secondly, the people did not go. The second bloodletting will not want to do it - the instinct will keep. The postmodern people went ... Fraudsters - forward, killers and fanatics - sediment ...

If this is a velvet revolution, as in 1990-1991, officials again. The same nomenclature will again rebuild the ranks (restructuring!), Loose, swell, divide - and again in its place. Hand dexterity - and no fraud. And at first, the Krasnobai A la Sobchak will visit the first roles ... But these Krasnobai will, of course, will not be dissidents, but quite systemic little people-political sciences, the same deputies (who are more closely), regulars of TV shows and other whores of Baby ... "I once walked there-but the north is harmful to me."

If we assume that in the foreseeable future, “the time for shocks will come”, then the option of such revolutionary curls of hair is much more likely than the removal of scalps.

Well, and dissidents? Dissentes will remain. Only here in the TV they will be allowed in the first, the “dolls” program can be restored, etc. That is not so little and not so bad.

What is the meaning of the activities of dissidents?

For them personally, in the fact that they cannot otherwise, played in those games that brighten up their life. (Of course, this is a “game”-like all that people do, except for food and sleep ... Although in a dream just the game itself!)

For the state - in the fact that dissidents feed the "guards". After all, the latter do not have a “constructive program”, but can only fight dissidents - at the rate of 100 guards per 1 dissident. The budget is 10,000: 1.

For society? Well, part of the society monitors this series, someone laughs, someone is sympathetic, someone is indignant ... In miniature, this is also visible in the "hedgehog". In general, in a standing swamp and that is life.

Of course, the influence of dissidents on political processes and on a moral situation in society is small, politically deciding the word always behind the nomenclature and “international situation”, and morally - for art, the media, etc., but their five cents in the piggy bank and dissidents also put, do what they can. Probably, for someone there is a personal meaning and to start themselves with obviously unrealizable plans for growing political corn at the North Pole. And the general meaning has been formulated for a long time: "Be realistic - demand the impossible."

Total: in our social system, the “Policy of the Ruled Most” is absent, in their place officials-performers, at least outside the Duma, even in the Duma. There are no opposition politicians - instead of them clowning. Finally, non -systemic politicians are also absent - only dissident and near -display activities are possible.

In the dry residue: there are officials and dissidents. As under the Soviet regime, as under the king. Like in Russia.
