Why won't we be allowed to speak?

You will laugh, but the organizing committee of the “March of Millions” again sent all these funny leftists with their funny social demands into the woods. Here is what Dasha Mitina writes about this (I dared to replace obscene language with the neutral expression la-la-la, what if women and children read my blog?):

“Yesterday’s “organizing committee” - la-la-la for political homeless people, don’t understand why la-la-la, which usurped the organizing issues of the rally, taking advantage of yesterday’s police trick, redrew the entire list of speakers, throwing out almost all the leftists from it, but feeling that it smells kerosene and a big scandal, sequestered her own liberal monsters, staffing the stage with civil apolitical activists of parties defending cute little cats.”

Of course, many were offended. Here and there it is heard - “Why, so! We are raising important and relevant social demands that can attract the missing millions to the march of 10, 20, 50, 100 thousand, and stupid liberals stubbornly refuse to voice them.”

Let me tell you sad news: unfortunately, our liberals are far from stupid people, and most importantly, they are well aware of their class interests. For them, privatization and “reforms” of medicine, education, and healthcare are not among the crimes of the “bloody regime”. It is not for nothing that Mr. Navalny openly stated at meetings with “business representatives” that he fully shares and supports Putin’s economic policy. The anti-people socio-economic policy suits all groups of the ruling class, both “liberal” and “conservative”. And what, for the sake of the left, will the confrontational Russian bourgeoisie step on the throat of their own song?

“But putting forward social slogans will make it possible to mobilize millions, stir up the provinces and overthrow the “bloody gebnya” - enthusiasts of the swamp marches will note - “do liberals really not understand this?” They understand. They understand all this well. And that's why they won't do it. After all, they are not planning a real revolution, but a “color revolution.” And the decisive battles of the latter will take place not on noisy streets, but in quiet offices. Officials, foreign diplomats, business representatives and unfaithful cops will come to the Sovereign President and say: “It’s time for you, Father Tsar, to retire. We need to let the youth take the helm. We will provide guarantees of your ex-sovereign security.” And the streets will be crowded with extras, waving orange flags and singing “We, we we will rock you.” For this, a crowd of 100-200 thousand people is quite enough. And the Washington Post will write that millions of representatives of the middle class came to the rally, who frightened the bloody tyrant and carried out the Great Bloodless Revolution. Epic win.

But the real millions of workers of the “Orange Revolution” are simply not needed. And besides, they are difficult to control. It is unknown what else these provincials will learn. What if they seize some candle factory owned by business partners of Navalny’s parents or friends of Ksyusha Sobchak. And then you will have to explain things to serious people.

Let us add that social slogans may be strongly disliked by the liberal crowd, who make up at least a third of the demonstrators. How will readers of Novaya Gazeta, New Times, fans of Boris Nikolayevich and the 1993 Constitution react to demands for the protection of all “hard workers” and “poor people”? After all, they will be offended, offended, and leave. So what - Sobchak, Nemtsov and Yashin will push their speeches before nationalists and communists? So after this they won’t even be shown on CNN.

There is no need to feed on illusions. No one will allow you to drive communist and even moderate social democratic propaganda from the stands of “dissent rallies and marches.” At most, you will be allowed to hint that social problems will be discussed later, “after the victory of democracy” (“The Question of Earth and Peace will be considered by the Constituent Assembly”).

Perhaps now the left needs to leave the “Swamp” rallies and concentrate on their events, as well as on work in the format of the “Occupy” actions, which, due to their more democratic nature, are very promising for propaganda work.
