A long -declared, dispute about political science on the APN website is semi -free - I celebrate with bitterness, without a shadow of gloating. Four articles, of which one note about attending a lecture by an American professor, and three ... What is the point of discussing yourself in politics instead of their actions? We do not risk pondering our decisions or even our political successes. But we are raising the monstrous fable - the soar is light, the shepherds of our monsters. Moreover, everyone who is capable of something is capable of, make politics - and everyone lies that eh, there is no one to engage in "real politics"! .. But what is there to study in our dirt? The best times are expected as a result of the extinction of political scientists, political strategists, politicians, businessmen and other public groups, which are counted by disgust for alien "biological species" (M. Remizov). Real policy is practiced by everyone, but pornographically, in the dark.
The oddities of the dispute
Lack #1 - A conversation about political science already from the second paragraph moves into a gossip about the domestic decomposition of political scientists. The subject of political science - politics - is set aside, but what is interesting for the rest? Instead of a step in the truly difficult, it is taken on curved gossips about customs, what is the place in the faculty wall newspaper (... are there any other wall newspapers?). Is it not a sin to describe political things as social, representing a policy of self -expression of politicians or a “dull hollow” of political strategists . But for politics there is nothing "social", outside and besides the policy itself. For politics, there is simply nothing external to it. And why not express electrophysics through the life and customs of electricians? It also happened, they popularized the theory of elementary particles, like a nonsense of jokes in sweaters, who changed their wives in their cheerful ones. From that mythology there was a song of Vysotsky about "physicists who promoted the ball on the contrary" ...
Against Babi tales in serious things, Ap. Pavel clearly wore us. Yes, we are vicious, and to a very different degree. But it is better not to tie the conversation about vices to characteristic masks - whether it be a Stalinist, a reformer or political strategist. Which is too convenient for non -graceful, real villains who do not fit into the type. Yes, and the growls of the dura-Baba are contradictory.
The contradiction #1 - a) political scientists and political strategists are ignorant and non -shy, but moreover - b) they, political scientists and political technologists, undermined everyone, corrupted and brought sin to Russian life.
So what is the problem - our failure or our success? The contradiction is not discussed - the demon is strong! Not from here the weakness #1 is a ban on a rational discussion of successes and failures, without Zagogulin like “ druids ” and “Eurasian terminology” in half with the folk -loving sobs who were still in “demons”? And under the curtain, the theme of political science "income" with their "lion's share" will certainly be released - as you can see, the initially overcome the mind. Everyone went to recount someone else's cash.
Virtual sex
There is nothing gambling. Politics is not interested in what “what will happen to us”, but puts it on the future and creates it. Therefore, it is surprising to classify the political scientist with one of the participants in the discussion to the choir of gypsies and fortunetellers - for the sake of "justified predictions" the future: why are these tales, for whom? For old women ap. Paul? Politics is not forecasts. The real course of things is predictable only with a very bad policy - a strong politician in the main decisions is unpredictable, acting in the political - that is, the initially uncertain, unintentional world.
Political science explores the policy of societies that create power either protecting and increasing the one that is ... The politician hunts for strength, the political scientist - to the rules of political hunt. Political science gets that part of a politically creative class that could not turn back politics. And that - for a while! To recapture the partner from the most interesting sex in the universe, the theory should become even more fascinating than the subject. But in Russia, politics is cleanly chooses the best personnel. Not corrupt political scientists are to blame for this - the theory is to blame for its actual form - dumb moral science, unsuccessful hokhma and abstract ... Unlike politics, our political science is nauseous, like three Petrosyan at once.
Political darkness
The problems of building the theory of political work in Russia are associated with the load of what is happening, moreover, occurring in the dark. The dizzying course of things is not described and not thought out in Russian. Is it time to notice that even national inventions of the world class , such screamer, as a massive Bolshevik party ; Leninist model of the revolution; state complexes connecting power with the science " Knowledge-Wir "; how (long before Affirmative Action!) The ethnopolitics of the positive, growing , building new nations within the secular (union) state; like the Yalta world system ; And even dissidentity ? And the very political miracle of the Soviet - the first, after the pericla, the experience of combining communities of action with the community of thought - is it comprehended? All the most interesting and relevant to this day is not discussed. The question is, what to do in a living mind in such a theory?
The failure of the theory is deepening if we turn to the policy of the masses - in fact, the only significant politics in the world today. Neither a big policy nor a big business today can work, not claiming to become mass. And here's what is funny: Russian policy of a hundred years, starting with the inventor-self-taught Lenin, was almost always a policy of masses! The Soviet state - from the revolutionary becoming "partocratic" - remained the state of mass policy . The infrastructure of the involvement of the masses in power and in politics also worked in tyrannical periods. Its dismantling of it, at first as part of the 1989 folk democratic mandate? 93, passed as a release of the mass foundation of the Soviet system from under the offspring of partocracy. And only the liquidation of the Soviets brought down the lower civil information infrastructure? The mass policy in Russia ceased to be realized precisely when everywhere in the world a hunt for the masses unfolded. On mass audiences, mass clients, global mass nets ... Miserable Moscow bleating about "elites, elites ..." - provincial and not addressed to anyone. Having become a mantra, for 10 years repeated curses of elites are just as empty as before 5 years of glory to them. In the truly large - mass political game, the elite is insignificant. Not today they set the language and form of Putin’s policy - but the masses. But the analyst is silent about this - real sex is bored with him, everyone is sexy.
I briefly note: not meaningful, and also not described on Political Russian language political disasters of the global class, like terror-37 , war-41 , finally, the Holocaust , which also unfolded after the German invasion of the USSR and on Russian land ... And the Bialowieza action ? The study of the disasters of the policy and the development of antidotes are an incentive for the development of political philosophy, almost the main one. And we even to explain the phenomenon of Stalin to this day we are accelerated by “Stalinism” borrowed from advice, or applied and very obsolete versions of “totalitarianism”. Not reflected, but what is there - the National School of Marxism is not refereized. Her miserable ending does not cancel her centennial, 1880-1980 - the influence of the world class tradition, with the only version of the Russian political language developed. And we are the theory of "international terrorism", generated in past Russia and organized farmly re -equipped in the USSR, even import from the outside - in the reverse translation from English!
But the main thing is the idea of the new Russia , invented within the Soviet world (people who themselves have come up with anything, consider it simple and self -evident!), The fate of the embodiment of this new world project - which could be more interesting?
Pornography of naked strength
Politics - there is a creation, application and an increase in forces, and not an exchange of dissecting suspicions. (When the politician sows suspicions, he does it "to the removal" to weaken the enemy, not himself). We are indignant at the powerlessness of worthy, unjust and unlawful power, finally, to the failure of strong measures. We ourselves want to intensify and demand a chance for it. Even the sadism of the Russian opposition, always hungry and dumbings in search of the victim, obsessed with pornographic fantasies - "Ah, what we will do with them , for how they are with us ...!" Explain the non -passage of power and inability to strengthen.
The reservation of powerlessness invents unprecedented torment for the strong, instead of inventing their strength. But by force they are not divided, forces are not subtracted by one of the other, but grow and surpass one another in a free, that is, a powerful game. She is called politics. It is impossible to create political power not about the existing power. And this returns us to the problem of Putin's strength, as a challenge to the theory? Theory that is not.
Putin showed how to move from complaints and experiences to politics, that is, to the achievement of something that is not a simple response. But Putin is the maximum - the limit of the achieved for Russian politics at its primitive pre -theoretical level. He broke through to create the political power of the nation, and was locked in the corridor of the breakthrough. The limiting success is a well -known business in politics. Power has been created. She is deprived of her language, devoid of proportionate buttors, so naga, small -small, and politics is “pornographic”. The small -domed force is its obvious problem and disadvantage. As non -viability as everything else. Move on without the theory of Russia, i.e. Political theory will not be possible. But the requirements for the power are quite ridiculous to get wet - appeals to nowhere.
It is possible to divide the authorities in Russia only by creating new full -fledged forces, and not cutting the acting ones . But this is precisely the most controversial politically and conflict, where not only no one is obliged and has the right to give in . This dispute immediately raises the entire composition of the "damned" - if you like, classic Russian political problems - problems, I note, still insoluble. These include Russian retention problems (not to be confused with a private, but also a real problem of holding and strengthening power! ). And the problem of Russia's problems, metroprot - the foundations of Russian policy (not to be confused with the problem of the Constitution of Russia, also significant, but private). The basis includes the recognition of the past, with a merciless consideration of the main national weaknesses, as threats to the grounds - and the overlap of moves leading to catastrophic scenarios, most likely for Russia.
In the end, it is simply scandalous that the topic of the causes of the decline and collapse of the USSR - which any serious political school, which is well -known from history, would not occupy the “simple” and - one more monstrous word for the political scientist - “self -evident”! The country of two state -national disasters in a row - any of which could become final, and the next will certainly become - does not dare to move until it excludes the tendency to a new - third, already global disaster. No - we are invited to ignore the reality of the Russians Robbel ... People who have not yet begun the revision of the forms of their own action, upholstered at the pre -scripture level, require Putin a "big strategy".
So, the successes of our policy are unexplored. Her failures and threats, especially the class of unacceptable threats, are unexpectedly, is central to any serious school of political thought. The experience of Russian political culture, neighboring and long -standing. But again - what seemed to me, after the era of the "light" with the Moscow rostrum should no longer repeat! - We listen to Babi from the scooters of the fiction.
The moral of poverty
There would be a talk about moralizing as the surrender of political thinking. Even in the chatter of perestroika, the worst was the rhyme-white-white policy. It was enough to memorize two or three poems-rivers to write "about politics." The fact that “thieves are miles than bloodsuckers”, but, moreover, “a thief should sit in prison” were given out for political wisdom - the right -author of Maxim certainly did not bear responsibility for this. As a result, the thieves and approved the lists of bloodsuckers. The fact that moralization is generally dangerous, I consider proven without arguments - the reality is indescribable in the language of the defect. Even samples of high political moralism of a non-storage, as the fate of the journalism of such powerful figures as Jean-Paul Sartre and A.I. Solzhenitsyn shows. (While the texts of Raymon Aron or Andrei Amalrik do not look politically outdated). Moralization began with us with populism, like lush. Over the past 20 years, moral rhetoric has turned into the manner of portraiting politics from afar - which makes the description sterile, and the descriptor is superfluous to its link. Prosees and poets, not understanding anything in what is happening, bypass all the most interesting disgusting, seeing a defect everywhere: the crocodile is not caught, the compost does not grow?
(Russian political texts are incredibly literary dependent. They initially fictionalize any situation and address the political problem as the plot. I will support the theme of "plot" as Russian pathology, which can also go beyond the sphere of political science in general. It seems that great Russian literature plays a cruel joke with us, replacing the logic of plot, and facts. rhymes.
People who decided to engage in politics themselves will not leave it. Politics is their fate. Their motives are political motives, in the normal mixture of self -interest and selflessness; challenges and sacrifices. Some will win, others will lose; The winners will have to fulfill the program of the losers - in politics and this is an ordinary thing.
We get involved in the conflict for the sake of what we truly wish, but the truth about this conflict is also inside himself. There it is necessary to catch the beast of "political science", and not at a safe distance, where the poor rhymplets and diligent women of the Apostle Paul are interpreted. Let's start with a simple one: list the political problems that you know about the newspapers about in a column on a piece of paper - and burn the sheet, forever forgetting its content. What will remain in the head, and will be the beginning of Russian political science .
