Democracy in Russian
1. The result of the December 4th vote is not determined by “fraud at the polling stations” - that is B.S.
COUNTING can be perfectly honest, or not completely honest - this is a minor technical detail. The patient does not die as a result of a post-mortem autopsy. Opening ballot boxes is the job of a pathologist. But the POLITICAL diagnosis and outcome is known in advance: SEMI-PATHRY SYSTEM. It does not change depending on the voting figures - at least within 5-10%.
2. This System includes many things.
And TV, where for years they show only two heads of one Eagle. And adm resource. And the parties of the “contractual opposition”. And a short financial leash for state employees. And so on, and so on, and so on.
3. The system can outrage (“the meanness and selfish lies of thieves”).
The system can be admired (“what we need now to preserve the State”). The system can leave you completely indifferent (“it doesn’t bother me at all”). But in any case, it’s good to remember that the System IS EXACTLY SUCH. And it will not change due to small fluctuations - on the contrary, it assimilates these fluctuations.
4. Every party that participates in SUCH “elections” participates in the action for the REPRODUCTION of the System.
5. Of course, this is not done “out of naivety.”
6. All these parties are elements of the System.
It’s just that the System is big, there are a lot of cogs. In the ministry there is a minister, there is his secretary, there is his driver. In a comedy there is a hero-lover, there is a stupid rival, there is an ingenue, there is a rogue lackey, there is “food is served,” and there is also a Director of all these movements. There are many.
So it is in the Political System. There are many parties - each one is involved. There is a Ruling Party, there is one on folding Duma chairs, there is one outside the Duma, there are spoilers, there are broilers...
There are different ones. And each has its own business. Like any person. “With us, all work is honorable.” “And together we do a COMMON cause.”
7. Those who go to vote also participate in this business: they vote for the System.
For what? Well, apparently everyone has their own motive. The simplest and most reasonable thing is football support for some team that you personally like for any reason. One vote, of course, is worth nothing, but I want to express sympathy for “my people.” It’s a completely understandable desire: sitting in front of the TV, you also applaud or shout.
8. But if the motives include the desire to “change the System” (“to fight the System”), then this is quite strange.
CHANGE THROUGH REPRODUCTION is some interesting way. Here “reproduce through struggle” is clearer. A sort of erotic game with Power. True, it’s not you here, but you... - but that’s who likes what.
9. If you don’t go to the polls, are you helping the System?
Yes, of course. In any case, DO NOT INTERFERE WITH ANYTHING.
10. So what's the difference?
There is only one thing: either active help with your feet and hands - or passive help, sitting at home. There is no third option within the existing System.
11. But you are free to choose between the first and second.
DEMOCRACY!
