In a five-minute walk from the central avenue of Aktobe, as in the besieged Leningrad, they die of cold and exhaustion. 26 families remain in the house, where there is still no heating. The light was cut off long ago, and there has never been gas here»
Newspaper «Diapazon» Aktobe city, 1999.
The events described in the local newspaper took place during the reforms of the 90s). This shows how market reforms were carried out in the former USSR, on its periphery. What was the crisis and how did the residents survive it?
Chapter 6
The reason for Asian autocracy?
Autocracy is only among traditional peoples. Moreover, they are prolific, there are more than five children in families, who has what opportunities.
Imagine a family without a father, where there are 10 children. What will happen?
Autocracy is not a loving father. No. Autocracy is the limits of what is permissible, permissible. Autocracy, its people seize everything by rank. This serves as a signal to others to live within their means. If the population increases to the limit, the local elite will have to lead the crowd «on a hike.» Or just open the borders so that the extra population attacks, for example, Russia with migrant workers. The elite captures everything. It means more and more that they are the elite. This is the restriction mechanism. It leads to a crisis of a narrow and rich top and numerous fertile bottom.
Today, everyone can shout about democracy.
But the whole meaning and actions will be the same. Some seize everything, others multiply and, as it were, create poverty. The reason for fertility is very ancient. People must reproduce faster. Faster than neighboring tribes. This is a guarantee of future victory and dominance over other tribes. The weak and the few are removed to unfavorable places. Fathers fulfill their duty to the leader and the people (although today it seems too much just biological selfishness).
So. Today we see clearly the leader and his people. There can be no other way. With democracy, the crowd wants to be led to capture (what?). If the leader does not give, that is, does not lead somewhere on a campaign to get trophies, the crowd either attacks itself (guest workers) or is dissatisfied with something. This can be expressed: we have given birth to our sons to you, give them horses, or lead us on a hike!
The mechanism of democratic elections, especially with a known result in these conditions, is used as a real campaign! But the campaign of oligarchs hired people of oligarchs. A promise of all the best to the voters. We must not forget for a second what voters with the genetics of warriors want to get. They understand the promised benefits as real trophies, which are promised either by the leader or by candidates for deputy. There is always some kind of gratuitousness in this. Waiting for a miracle, blessings, abundance. How was this abundance achieved in the past? In the past, this abundance was from military campaigns and victories. Therefore, the so-called democratic elections are becoming more frequent or taking place out of turn due to another crisis. The crisis of expectations in the first place.
Chapter 7
Flotagia
So, flotagia is the replacement of principles with petty egoisms. In most of the provincials, who did not know these very principles and did not have time to understand what it is, they have no principles, so there is no choice of means, there is a mad passion, a crazy passion to be like Europeans. But this imitation is of course mechanical and material,
What is the danger of flotagia, involving the archaic population in market relations?
The market materializes the archaic energy of competition and destruction.
Blood and kinship play a cruel joke with the archaic population. The same joke is being taken under control by external forces. That is why radical Islamism and nationalism, which are super-controlled from the outside, are dangerous.
To understand this process, the term flotagia appeared in revcon (a neologism from flotation and refag a person with market reflection).
GLOSSARY
The Zeref- a traditional person with rigidly set social actions, low reflection almost zero, hence the word zeref-reflection zero (zeref).). Has no semitones, serves the idols of the genus, and communicates in the circle of native blood.

The zerefs loop the baby boom, overheating of the population.
The Zerot (zeroot = zeref+root) the traditional feudal elite

For several generations, the Refag is a person of a trading civilization; reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian-refag (re + high).
The Zeremid is a man of the first generation of traditional elites (or city, fresh citizens). He has a half-hard social reflex custom, neither the inferiority complex that wants to cover up, so he invents a new ancestry, creates a fine root and has the fancy «tail» behind. If this is a modern Zeremid, it is usually a former villager who has superficially mastered urban life culture, and he is half urban and half rural.
Zefa is a man from the citys first-generation with inclinations toward the market and speculation, and trade, at least what, he was forced by circumstances.
The Zeremids loop the Zeremids are approximate imitators. They imitate the elite, any idea, any direction just to be good for their families. There is imitation, hypocrisy, and fanaticism that harm any cause, state, or idea: hypocrisy, pharisaism, fanaticism, the adjustment of marginal strata to the existing idea and order. When the elite religious organizations from governments accumulate the Zeremids, there is stagnation and crisis. The collapse of the idea and system of Zeremids conformity is inevitable. They adapt to the system for the sole purpose of supporting their family. That is, they do the same thing as the Zerefs, but for this, they want to get into the elite, the privileged stratum, or the state system, they quickly learn, master new skills, and imitate the formal standards of idea and responsibility.
The Refag is a person of a trading civilization in several generations; reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian-refag (re + high).

The Zelot is a superman, a hero, a prophet, the most gifted among the traditional elite. A Zelot is an ambitious but disinterested person; he is a fighter against the traditional elite (Zerots), with Pharisee officials (Remids, Zeremids), with the people, if the peoples are obsessed with dark passions.

The Infernal Wheel
Its time to decipher this phenomenon of Maidan suicide. After all, no one wants war, they dont want victims, and they dont want their own blood, anyway. The feeling that it is him, the Maidan agitator, who will carry through and there will be a bright future (or rather, personal business, things will get better, and all corrupt officials will be lustrated!
In revcon, the term flotagia first appeared, namely, how market rules change a person of traditional upbringing and culture. This does not mean that traditional people themselves are immune to the market. Rather, they don't. The most accurate example of this was shown by the vote in the Bundestag, where Muslim migrants voted for same-sex marriage, although, in theory, they should have influenced white people with the strictness of their morals and upbringing. The market is a market, it absorbs everyone, both migrants and non-migrants: migrants and people in general, brought up in the traditional way, even faster, even faster than the same scoops (Soviet people). Traditional people lose everything they had in the form of culture and upbringing. Traditional culture and traditional upbringing. The bulk of the adherents of market civilization are former traditional people, they are also collective farmers (to put it simply).
And here's why.
In connection with the market and pressure on Russian-speaking moral speakers. Yes, yes, not language, but morality, morality has changed. Principles have disappeared. Will a principled integral person engage in corruption? Of course not. This is closer to the traditional culture, it turns out a new pseudo-city corporation and a group of crypto-minded people. These are the very ones who did not get into the relatives or like-minded people for the accumulation of capital of zef will naturally hate Nazarbayev and his people, because they did not get into the elite detachments. Here they are former officials, former bankers and people fed by them will most of all desire the Maidan and lustration of their predecessors.
Flotagia
Flotagia is the replacement of principles with petty egoisms in most of the provincials, who did not know these very principles and did not have time to understand what it is. There are no principles, there is no choice of means, there is a mad passion, just a crazy passion to be like Europeans. But this imitation is certainly mechanical and material, nothing more.
Chapter 9
Kazakh Maidan
A former antimonopoly officer in the first government of independence, a "constructive" oppositionist in the past, today an obsessive pensioner once said: "The population of Kazakhstan is spread over a large territory." Thus, Svoik complained about the problems of the local opposition. In the wilds of His subconscious, a thought was still wandering, painfully searching for the reason. Another colleague of Svoik in the opposition case, the well-known human rights activist Zhovtis in Kazakhstan said: "Kazakhstan has a complex structure of society.." And that's it, nothing else.
This is where the «old» brains and past resources of the opposition stop developing and dont give to others (with the help of solidarity of several editors, including a fellow countryman of Svoik). Theyve been saying the same thing for thirty years. But they dont want to leave the stage. Even similar Democrats accuse Elbasy 1 that he had been in power for thirty years. Every such speaker (and for me, they just are populists) guards his feeding territory and Kazakhs still look at such people in the mouth. Former nomads love and trust old things in their apartments. Therefore, the new intelligentsia cannot break through its own people.)
And yet. A large territory really affects the much-anticipated riot but everyone will see their own interest in the steppe fire. It is unlikely that the old Democrats with thirty years of experience will like who will benefit from the Kazakh Maidan. No one will listen to these pensioners anymore. But liberal intellectuals and such like them do not mean the resources of a large territory at all and the ability or possibility of a chain reaction after a riot at its center. And nothing else. Although I suspect, I will repeat it again, they themselves do not understand what they are talking about. These are elderly oppositionists of advanced age. But they dont want to give up the stage. (But nationalists replacing these talkers will simply not notice them then come)
In fact, counting on the emotions of the crowd, flaring up like dry brushwood these are just stamps of the past. All pensioners live and think that the sky is not blue and the grass is not green now, but before all be better.
The fire that has broken out, so desirable for demagogues and populists, does not suit us because even pensioners live one day, and the petty ambitions of the townsfolk (how is it, these are not nomads, not Kazakhs? The market is crushing people, crushing them. Former Soviet intellectuals are no longer the people who swam in ready-made soup. Now its a selfish little thing) They are not interested in what will happen next. We are only interested in it. We are interested in what will happen, how the fire will burn, and how the people will warm up after.
This is just an introduction for a clearer explanation that a large territory is not a panacea for the Maidan. Moreover, the days of pensioners from a democracy of the 90s in Kazakhstan have passed.
Chapter 10
Oligarch Ablyazov
The oligarch Ablyazov is the former minister of the autocrat Yelbasy I) does not stop calling: «People come out against the regime!» He broadcasts from the outside, now lives in the West.
There is nothing fundamental in his speech. A simple set of orange stamps. All Kazakh liberals are very similar: some have light faces, and others, as expected, are Asian. From such speakers comes dilettantism, which just stinks of ignorance. Are they Kazakhs or not Kazakhs? First, the Kazakhs should know their people well.
Do the Liberal Democrats need the people? Yes, they need people as a means. They want to use the people to replenish their wealth or just change their fate. Protestant ethics entered the heads of these people rudely. Thats why these speakers say very cynical things. The people are actually not as stupid as they seem although the regime has done everything to simplify the people. Thats why Ablyazov and his people are so confident. The main thing for them is to excite the crowd to revolt. Although the officials of the regime simplified the people for another purpose the Kazakhs were quiet. After all, the Kazakhs have never had a market democracy (yes, there was a military democracy, but this is completely different), so no one and nothing can excite the Kazakhs. How many years have opposition oligarchs been fighting in hysterics? Are the Democrats, such do you think? No, they are not Democrats. They just dressed in fashion. In fact, they were pushed away from power by Yelbasy I. While they were in power and enriched, they praised Elbasy I in a crowd of court hypocrites. This is Asia, dont forget!
All right, its the liberals. And what about the people? What are the motives for rebellion among ordinary people?
