Have you ordered capitalism?
So eat!
With such thoughts, I “celebrate” the anniversary date - 20 years of capitalism in Russia.
On June 12, 1991, more than 57% of Russians voted for Yeltsin. And I voted. Against the "scoop". Now I think what kind of clouding it was? I had everything: an apartment, food, a higher education, a mother with a dad with a pension that you could live on, build a cottage and teach me at the institute.
Really “40 varieties of cheese on the shelves and layers of tights with shampoos” better than free education and medicine?
The honesty of Soviet propaganda
Soviet propaganda was honest. This is the first thing that comes to mind today from the future. All of it was built on criticism of rotten capitalism. All of it screamed about the backstage, from which these “40 varieties of cheese on the shelves” grew: 95% of the poor and 5% of the rich. About an abundance inaccessible to 95% of people.
Why did I, like the majority, decided that the whole Soviet “poverty” in the form of free education and medicine, in the form of pensions on which it was possible to live and build, will remain, and we lack small - capitalist charm in the form of sparkling and breaking from whips, shops? Well, Soviet propaganda told me that this “beauty” is the result of inequality! What is the use of this feast if I am not a tycoon?
Well, well, I'm a blonde ... But why did the miners, plumbers, teachers and writers suddenly decided that the capitalism of everyone would make oligarchs overnight? Why didn’t it occur to me an elementary sound truth that everyone cannot suddenly become ... astronauts. That inequality is laid down originally, in the presence of weak and strong, both in nature and among people. And capitalism is the law that makes this inequality a social norm. Being hungry, homeless, sick, illiterate, robbed - this is normal, do you understand? And a huge amount of food and rags is produced exclusively in order to be a carrot in front of the donkey. The donkey wants to eat? So go, work for a penny and let saliva on the “carrot”, “sages” will find a way to make it desirable, but inaccessible under any circumstances. For a donkey.
Soviet propaganda was really honest and it did not lie about the horrors of capitalism.
The role of the individual in his own history
The summer of the 91st year was the last well-fed summer. In the 93rd, my colleague at work, at lunchtime, was already gathering nettles nearby to weld a soup for a little son and a clay niece, which remained the same after the unexpected death of a young mother. And what happened “upstairs” there, what reforms and pyramids were growing, there was no time to think about it. Two children had to be lifted alone and in the “Dream” consisted - “ Here is an elite kindergarten for rich preschool children, and workers are looking for books in garbage dumps.”
The role of personality in history ... a fertile theme for both philosophers and the vertex of the fate of all times and peoples. "I LOVE or have the right?" A person who can kill and mock? And who are the rest?
Again, to the issue of a proportion of 95% and 5% in the wild in the wild, to whom do you consider yourself? You were destined to be born a pinza, and here, behind the counter, did you be by chance? I really attribute myself to most "lousy." Well, I don’t need football clubs and yachts with submarines for security for every day. And even without “breakfast at Tiffany,” I will manage. This was not about that in 1991, voting for Yeltsin, and now I am not sad about the oligarchic status. Nothing inside me changed, but why is it so packed in my soul?
- Do you often have the feeling that rats are chopped in your soul?
“Did you want to say, cats?”
- Not really. “Cats” is when you are fat for five kilograms or out of the window there is a pouring rain. And rats are much worse.
This is trite, but the essence is: then you will be fine when you yourself will be good. Good? Rather, honest. Not according to the Criminal Code honest - I can rob the grave, the dead from the dead from the eyes is removed, if you need money to brighten up life - you need to be honest in front of you. You can be anyone, just not a coward, not a pretender, not a hypocrite, not a whore - better cancer than a dishonest heart. And this is not a hypocrisy. Simple practicality. You can die from cancer, but you can’t live with this at all ... (Trumen Capote. Breakfast at Tiffany)
I had one complaint against Soviet propaganda - censorship to modern capitalist works of art. Without them, we became the country of "non-frighty idiots." Because even then, in the capitalist paradise, banal truths were known. “ If you are lucky enough to live, you are already a person and you have to write only your personal story.” And the cheese here has nothing to do with it ... The experts talked about “paradise” and stigmatized capitalism in the best traditions of Soviet propaganda, about its morality of double standards , about the main thing in the dishonest game - “so that the costume is sitting”, and what is there, under the costume -fasement of 95% of the depersonalized personalities, so the wild nature is arranged ... forever and ever. Amen.
"I want to work for a capitalist and go to relax on Cyprus"
This is a replica from the TV of the 90s. With such dreams, we voted for Yeltsin because we dreamed of honest capitalism. “And what, I am injected, be on, give me the same standard of living as the American worker. He has a car and a house. ” And I was in solidarity with the "TV". So who knew then that behind the “car and the house” there are typical capitalist “booze” - loans, mortgages and scams with a printed machine?
“Fear your desires. They have misfortune to be carried out. ”
Everything that they voted for in 1991 was realized!
You can no longer wait for 20 years for 20 years and get it for free “in order of queue” at least for old age, it can be bought on credit today and pay half the salary for it (if any) all your life. And the car can be bought on credit, and household appliances, and clothes, and in Cyprus - even forever ...
The Soviet bureaucracy was ridiculous. The new one came and blossomed. The current, capitalist, scary and ruthless, God forbid, get into her millstone ...
Vera that fed children with nettles in the 90s, managed to learn them. The admission daughter married, raising her children, but not here, in Germany. The son, an engineer in the space industry, lives and works in St. Petersburg. To give children education, she had to rent a corner from strangers, and rent her apartment to the tenants. I learned both with this money. She is no longer among the living, and another 20 million such, torn up to the deadline ...
The man rushes along the shore of Sysoly in the Kirov Park. -Where .. Stalin stood here? -Stalin? So he seems to have died already. In the last century. What is this your hobby of dead? -Nostalgia ... I often walked small here in a park with my parents. Life passed, and I have never been so happy again. How good when parents live for a long time. And there are no them, and you are already forever an orphan ...
-Where to find a recycling teacher for an outburst of 9 years? He does not know how to read, he buys grades from the young pedagogues for beer. -Beti from the "scoops". From mine, the teacher-day for the year, the Windoderkind and the man made. (From "Exchange of experience" on the forum about difficult children)
Dreams come true. But there is no happiness, because it costs money. And with money he is not there either. If you were not able to be certified by a strap, that out of 5%, then the simple human happiness of a normal person who is enough “at home, son and wood” - again from the category of “dream” to the next 20th anniversary.
What am I about? Ah, yes ... Happy holiday!
