Disputes of titans about sofas

I want to intervene in the Titans spores. Two of my beloved titans - Ryklin and Yakovenko - argued about whether it was worth geting up from the couch and going to future Duma elections. Although, in fact, somewhat different positions have encountered here. And the question is also debated different: is it possible to use some legal actions and elected procedures to reformat the current political system towards real liberalization with a human face?

And, you know, Ryklin's position seemed to me more ... or rather, less fabulous or something. The respected Igor Yakovenko this time was a little refused by logic. Especially when he began to persuade himself that “the same director of the Moscow, St. Petersburg or Krasnoyarsk school will think a thousand times before“ stupidly overwrite the protocol ”when the elections are under tight control of the press, party and non -partisan observers.” For she will think to think, but, most likely, only about how it feels to be left without work in a stagnant economy with growing payments for everything. Not to mention the utopicity of “hard control”.

That is, according to Yakovenko, it turns out that there is a certain limit of cynicism of the political system of the Russian Federation, which can be overcome by joint joint actions. And nothing that no one has yet succeeded, God knows, maybe he really has it somewhere and someday we will succeed.

Although I must say that Alexander Ryklin, having written everything, seems to be absolutely correct - we have nothing to do in these elections - then suddenly long discussions about the “apple” were set off. From which another reader could have concluded that if the Social-Democratic “Yabloko” is not as intriguing as it is de facto, and that, on the contrary, would not be a hypothetical transaction of Yabloko with the Kremlin in order to leave the company “Yabloko” to represent Russian democracy, then one could and even have to vote for it.

Of course, in this case, we could wrongly understand Ryklin. Because his thought was not to re-educate the “apple” and that under some conditions it was possible to participate, and that no apples would help the corpse (political system), neither good nor soaked. But ... Then the legs themselves would lead us to the polling station, and the inquisitive mind would begin to look for gaps in non -Ototilitarism.

“And what if we vote for these, cross out these or go and spoil the ballot? What will be the effect? They will dance! " The next and a half would have gone to weighing these chances .

Alas, the play of the elite does not go at all for defeating a liberal society in an honest, profitable or even completely dishonest battle. The results of the fight, in fact, do not depend on the elections. And in this vein-“win-play” or to perform a cunning feint-the problem never stood. For Colonel Aureliano Buendin, figuratively, can always take a box with pink pieces of paper and, spitting on the “honest director of the Moscow, St. Petersburg or Krasnoyarsk school”, replace it with a box with blue pieces of paper. And there will be nothing to him for it, no Panfilov will stop. And let the director go to herself with a forest. The country is too big - you won’t look for everything and for everyone here.

The game is aimed at creating the illusion of competition. After all, where there is at least some competition, there are prizes. And where the prizes, greed wakes up there, and the unstable mirages to admit to the authorities begin to attract. It is only worth it to lead, and everyone will begin to work violently with elbows, forgetting about the realities. It is then that the elections will acquire the visibility of legal. Q.E.D.

Meanwhile, absolutely no one has a doubt that under any conditions and results in 2016 will not occur in any conditions. This is how the country was moving into a dead end, so it will continue to move there. There will be neither the left (socialist) turn, nor the right (liberal-capitalist). There will be pensions meager, medicine is paid, and higher education is increasingly inaccessible. The evil NATO will be selected to the borders, and all this is scary to be afraid. Poverty and wealth at the poles. On one - dogs will be carried by private aircraft, on the other - to eat or no longer eat "Doshirak".

For illustration. Just the head is by no means a commercial, budget, and, as it were, the government department for some reason has quit millions of rubles (!) His secretary. As if in the country there were so many free rubles, as if he was engaged in terrible commerce here, bringing unthinkable benefits to people. On the contrary, the cost of a bribe of a law enforcement general reached five (!) Millions of dollars. This is the style of the attitude of servants to the service, society and the state. In other words, the same state-bureaucratic monopoly remains, where, in accordance with the covenants of the grandfather of Lenin, every secretary finally learned to manage, merging in ecstasy with its bosses. The worst thing is that this is a plan for the next decades, the end of which many of the living ones will not see.

So what should we do?

And this is what. Those who want to participate in cockroaches, let him run. We are not animals, we will not limit anyone in rights. A rather democratic “apple” still exists as an almost system party, and thanks to him for that. Let him live, live and may be always young Yavlinsky. As the colleague Mikhail Sokolov optimistically remarked, we need people who will convey to us first -hand information, as far as there, in the political tops, bottoms and middle, everything is bad. From a professional media point of view, this is very clear.

However, those of us who have no prospects to win anything in this situation should also think about how to reduce the legitimacy of an inexorable result. And this can only be done by parallel total and unlimited ignition of the entire election process, turning this ignoring into a socio-political movement. “Defense of the sofa” in this sense, although a bitter, capacious and intelligible image, is probably not entirely fair. For in totalitarian systems, non -participation in the window dressing is not surrender, but a feat. What to do, if you do not force thieves and scoundrels to sit at the negotiating table, return the freedom of speech to us.

They want us to give them our ballots? Shooted? So let them fulfill the minimum that they are required. Otherwise, any of their products will go with the “uncontrolled” tag. Or as they say now - imported. And there will be something after doping. Think You For Your Attendation and Cooperation, as they say in airplanes.
