I said that the world doesn’t want to be homogenous. Those countries that are profiting from the established order of things (from globalism as today is called the capitalistic international of western countries headed by the USA), those, naturally, proclaim the modern civilization the crown of the creation. The wealthy Europe and its Space-colonies (that is, the countries where expatriates from Europe landed in search of space – land for living, and from where they banished, or slaughtered, or forced into reservations the native population) USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel – after transforming themselves into a fortress they buy raw materials and products from the rest of the poor world for peanuts. For these bosses of the world -it is perfect, this order of things, they like globalism. But another thing is that a huge quantity of non -European countries doesn’t like this world order. This order of things doesn’t please maybe 150 countries of the world and pleases only 30 or about that, countries, those who are called highly developed, vanguard. What, by the way, does the naked and bald narrow strip of land along the North Sea, called Holland produce to be called highly developed? Nothing or almost nothing. It lived a few centuries on account of the exploitation of its colonies – exotic hot lands. Even now it has a piece of Guinea in the North of Latin America. Also other countries of Europe pay it for the exploitation of its harbors.
But let’s come back to the dissatisfied. All of Africa, a huge part of Asia and Latin America would like to redistribute the world anew. But the military advantage of western countries is so stunning that even timid dreams about redistribution terrify. And also when you have before the eyes the sad fates of Iraq and Serbia. And at the same time the idea of an absolute necessity of a world revolution, a rebellion of the entire world with the goal of casting off the yoke of the insolent Europeans is always present. If it happens, first of all, naturally, the Space-colonies will be absorbed by neighboring peoples. The Mexicans will flood the entire South of the US, Australia will receive hundreds of ships with Asian migrants, no matter if it wants this or not. The prerequisite for a world revolution and reconstruction on a planetary scale exists. There is enough hatred for the Yankees and the Europeans. There will be enough human resources. What one needs is a happy chance, and better it would be that someone prompted this chance. Sets fire to the first match. A frontal world war of the countries-outcasts’ coalition against Europe and the Yankees cannot be won. But the Senegalians already were in Paris and our Kazaks too. At times during quiet prison evenings my imagination draws me the picture of some hundreds of thousands Mexicans and as many Turks arrived to London and Berlin. And although it is usually cold in Lefortovo within the thick walls, I’m getting warmer.
Now let’s take a look at the situation within Russia. There is in our country such groups of society who are completely satisfied by the established state of things and these are in the first place the 30 ministers of the Government, the 450 deputies of the State Duma and the 190 deputies of the Union of federations. This is, obviously, huge governmental machinery, formed in an overwhelming majority from a hereditary Soviet bureaucracy. This is that part (and not small) of the bureaucracy, which managed to get hold of the country’s wealth. Satisfied by life are more or less some millions of power-structures employees because they are cared for by the authority. Mister Putin, actively using national demagogy, reconciles for now the high rating percentages of the population, apparently some tens of millions people with the authority. In words, it has to be underlined, only in words, because to reconcile really he doesn’t have the means for this. The pensioners live scantily – the stronghold of the Russian electorate, civil servants live scantily: teachers, doctors, Russian militaries terribly risk for pennies and obviously hired workers live scantily, occupied in a dying industry, in heavy industry, those 17 or 19 million of people, whom professor Prigarin was talking about, you remember. Besides not all can be fed with extra hundreds rubles. As it is already clear form the sum of ides presented in the lectures – the most oppressed part of Russia’s population is the youth. It is possible to buy it, but not with money, simply to move aside, to give it power. But no less than a half. But the formed cast of bureaucracy, the governers (the “corporative system” according to Sergey Morozov’s terminology in the research “Conspiracy against the peoples of Russia today”) cannot go for it. Such a concession of half the power will leave millions of functionaries out of work. This will be a death sentence to the entire System.
Meanwhile, it’s been a long time that the blood in Russia’s veins wasn’t renewed. And blood has to inevitably be renewed. Mao bled China, let’s recall after 17 years (Stalin, by the way, also after 17 years, if one is to take Kirov’s death as the starting point). The renewal of blood in the veins of the entire country, simultaneous and general is called Revolution. A revolution is not an abnormal phenomenon or negative as we are being intensely suggested now by the Vampires-preachers, who squelch their Adam’s apples and sport sweet smiles. A revolution is a natural and desired phenomenon in the life of a nation. When it is absent for a long time – one should be worried. Revolution is a healthy phenomenon. After it always comes an explosion, a burst of life in the country. A bloom. Russia before the 1917 revolution behaved herself and looked like the decrepit India. I happened to see this especially clearly when, living in Paris, I discovered on the attic of one of the apartments where I lived, about two hundred kilograms of old, early XX century illustrated journals. There were pictures of exotic countries, including Russia, Turkey, India, China. With great difficulties, only after reading the small detailed inscriptions under the pictures one could define who is who on the pictures. The same Astrakhan hats on the guards of the rajas, sultans and the tsar. Pompous theater uniforms of the nobles, beards, horses, carriages, sabers, epaulettes and port-epees of the monarchs. And the French illustrated journal didn’t not in any way singled us out, Russia, from the colonial marvels, nearby naked natives stoke fire with flints, or grown with beard to the navels, seated like skeletons on the banks of the Ganga. The 1917 revolution brought wild misfits to power and for a short time they rejuvenated Russia. Only because of that, on the rests of their wildness we ended up in 1945 in Berlin and raised the flag above the Reichstag.
Today Russia acutely needs a revolution. The functionary unfertile crust covers the fertile depths of the Russian people, where are hidden deposits of talented misfits. But the crust has to be broken, ploughed over, ripped open by the plough of the Revolution. In order to overturn and to cast down completely the upper petrified dead layer. To plough it deeply and forever. There is enough of socially dissatisfied people in Russia. There is enough of hatred towards the power owners. There are human resources. The waifs alone are 2.8 million.
Revolution is of the same ancient origin as power. Revolutions always happened. In ancient China alone were hundreds of revolutions. The last before the 1911 revolution, “the boxers rebellion” was an overwhelming large-scale revolution. One can talk about the revolutions of Cyrus and Cambyses epochs. Revolutions differ from coup d’etats by the fact that during the coup d’etat only the monarch (or president, in short, the leader of the country) is liquidated, displaced with his group of ministers or associates surrounding him. As for in a revolution the entire old political class is forcibly removed from power and its place is taken by new people. One can talk, in this way, entirely legitimately about the revolution of Peter I, although he was a legitimate heir to the throne. But he brought to the power a totally new class, he created his new elite from foreigners, commoners, offspring of impoverished aristocratic families. There exists a “theory of the elites” of Paretto, according to which the new elite is born next to the old and for some time exists like this, ready, waiting just an occasion to take the place of the old elite. The theory of the elites sounds like music of celestial spheres to the ears of the resolute misfits. But even more pleasant would be for them to understand that a revolution is not such an exceptional phenomenon in social life. Even in Europe, in its newest history, even if one is to take the most important European countries, revolutions were more a rule than an exception. In the XVII century, we know, the British Bourgeois Revolution was carried out, then the puritan bourgeois got to the power. Afterwards was the revolution, also bourgeois, of 1776 in the United States. Then in 1789 the great French Revolution broke out. In the XIX century in Europe that was all that was happening, revolutions. The anarchist Michael Bakunin participated in 11 European revolutions! In France alone there were: the 1830 revolution, 1848, revolution of the Parisian Commune of 1870. In 1848 in Vienna a Revolution had temporarily won, there were revolutions in Berlin, in Saxony, in Italy cities, but didn’t win. The XX century gave a vast quantity of revolutions: in 1911 – in China, in 1913 – in Mexico, in 1905, in February 1917 and in October 1917 – in Russia. In 1918 – a revolution in Austria-Hungry, an attempt of a Red revolution in Germany, in 1922 a successful fascist revolution in Italy, in 1923 – an unsuccessful attempt of a national-socialist revolution in Germany. In 1933 the national-socialist revolution in Germany won. If one is to add to this list the 16 European countries in which even before the Second World War came fascist or semi-fascists regimes (Croatia, Slovakia, Spain, Hungry, Rumania, Poland, Portugal, Latvia and others) then we get quite a quantity of revolutions.
