Submission in the root

"Now the Power is the Kremlin, Putin - no matter how you call it, they accustom us to the fact that the very fact of participation in the elections" without coordination and preliminary permission "is a strange, exotic, irrational action," says Navalny’s headquarters . More precisely, I accustomed it. I accustomed to the fact that without its preliminary approval and permission, one cannot participate in the elections. To the fact that without its preliminary approval and permission, one cannot go out onto the street to express your position. You can not at all participate in public life. And nothing can be done with this.

This silent "public pact about humility" is the basis of the foundations of the Putin system. Putin's time is the time of silence, moderate and neat. No need to rock the boat. No need to crack a society. No need to substitute people under the batons. There is no need to violate the law yourself when you demand compliance with the law from power. No need to provoke power to repression. No need to provoke a rapist to violence. No need to resist the rapist. We must relax and enjoy.

The Navalny team invites society to terminate this pact. Offers a path of civil disobedience. He is trying to "create such an atmosphere in society that it will not wish and will not be able to accept" elections "without real competition and independent candidates." He will not want and will not be able to accept mocking prohibitions to go out to express their position.

Without the formation of such an atmosphere, without mass readiness, not to submit to the crooks imposed by usurping the authorities of the bandits, all the mournful howls that "only by participating in the elections, you can change the situation in the country", are not worth a penny. Because as soon as you start getting more votes than the bandit himself measured you, he will simply take away your winnings. And you will wrap your eternal three percent in order to continue to repeat to repeat this game again and again. Because you can’t substitute people under the batons. And further on the list. A real participation in the elections is exactly what Navalny makes, and not calls at all under any conditions "come and vote for the only candidate of European oriented democratic forces." Nothing will change in the country without mass readiness of people to go out of batons.

The allegations are deeply erroneous that Navalny appeals only to the mercantile social egoism, narrowing the opposition agenda to the primitive "crooks and thieves stole our grandmas." Navalny's agenda is much wider. She is about the fact that you stole your citizen's voice. That you have the right to walk along the streets of your city. That your human dignity was stolen from you. Your freedom. Your country.

Navalny does not appeal to ideologies and programs. He appeals to feelings. To a sense of justice. To the feeling of solidarity. To the feeling of pride in a person who may not obey those who are stronger than him. Navalny wakes up these feelings in people. Navalny seeks to destroy the silent "public pact on humility", that is, it undermines the most important screening of the Putin system. And this is more important than the fact that he does not yet say about the parliamentary republic. He awakens the republican spirit. Yes, you will have to determine both ideologies and programs. But without these feelings, all ideologies and programs are dead.

Yes, the Navalny team seeks to put all these feelings in the service of promoting their candidate. But the opposite is true. Support of Navalny as a candidate works for awakening these feelings. The Navalny team works for political polarization, which is so afraid of our "moderate and neat." They really do not like to make a hard choice. Either you are with scammers and rapists, or you are with those who confront them, who "create problems for them." But today we see how new people who have always avoided this choice.

The movement of Navalny has not yet reached the strength that would destroy the damned "submissiveness pact." But it presented a serious application for this. And if, after the suppression of today's protests, it chokes, historical responsibility for the next missed chance will be shared "moderate and neat", which refused today to support him.
