Like the automobile increased speed in space, television dramatically sharply increased the speed of world-knowledge so the age when the civil rights are given could be very normally moved to 14 years. I already called for this in 1996 in the legislative proposition of the National-Bolshevik Party. Civil rights at 14 years old! At 14-15 years old the adolescent has to totally stop studying including the higher education. (It does not mean that we want to send him right away to the assembly line, we have another task.) Again, going back to television, it could be said that because of it and other mass-media in lesser degree and all the civilization technology surrounding us today there is no need to school as long and as hard young men and women. The amount of knowledge about the world of which the XIX century man never even dreamed about, or of the beginning of the XX century is literally suggested from the screen of the television daily. Television here is, I repeat, disgusting: clumsy, subordinated to the State, but even like this it is essentially over-informative. The period of the middle education should be tightened in two, maximum five years. To lazily let rot the youth on school banks, giving their spirit away for slaughter to the teachers-philistines is a crime. Education should be clever, clear, joyful. This was already discussed in the last chapter.
So what age should be considered as valuable to the nation, the preferable one?
The age from 14 to 35 years old is without doubt the most productive, the most precious age for the nation. It is the age of the draftees, warriors, men, the blooming of the physical strength of the individual, usually the peak of health, beauty, joy. The age of the outmost creation, sowing, production of children. Modern sexology affirms that man is in his best sexual form at the age of 28. It is not without reason that after 35 the individual usually retires from sport. The physical strength is not increasing anymore but just conserving. Take notice of job announcements: the work is offered, people are called, as a rule “healthy men up to 35 years old” are needed. The sly employers consequently consider that after 35 years old the strength is not the same as before 35 and the acquiring of working skills is harder.
The average age from 35 to 56 years old is a smooth plateau on which the individual already walks limping and stopping to rest. Of course at 35 years old there is already a certain life experience acquired, however essentially this experience is negative – the experience of caution, the experience of cowardice. At 35 years old the individual having burned himself several times is not even breathing on the hot milk anymore, he tips it out.
Form 35 to 56 it is the time of the harvest of life and what was sawn (if was sawn) bears fruits. Yes, harvest time if compared to nature and its cycles. So they – the middle age is ripping all the harvest. To them belong (often only by right of age, by right of duration of their professional career, by right of years of service) key posts in the State, in politics, in economy, in trade, in administration. They head all aspects of life: mass media, army, school, medicine. They are the possessors of a large part of property in the country. The middle age is capable of evenly pulling but is not capable, as a rule, of brilliance, heroism and achievements.
The problem of fathers and children becomes a problem just after the child gets 14 (well, a bit earlier, a bit later, not everybody, as it was already mentioned, has an exact biological age). To that time the child is mature: that has been a while that the girls are menstruating, the boys look manly, their voice is deep and they feel a direct urge for a girlfriend, the sexual maturing has taken place, the parents have before them a formed individual – a man, a woman. And the parents, by order of the government have to still consider them children. Notice that up until this age there is no father and children problem, everything is more or less perfect – the child needs protection until he has not grown up. But here he is grown up – no need to keep him as a child. One should begin life earlier and instantly throw the youth in a vigorous rhythm – To hurry to live!
In each separately taken moment two principal generations are competing with each other: the youth and the middle age. The fight for the best lands, wealth, women. By standing as on the belt of the inexorable conveyor of life, behind them their children, before the elderly and the conveyor is heading at death. The elders usually the first but in times of war the youth leaves first.
Summing up the above mentioned I repeat: power and ownership in Russia (and the rest of the world) are unequally distributed among the generations. Not only between classes or social types of society (which is the same thing as “class”). But between generations. More precisely between the two principal productive manly classes of society: between the youth of 14-35 years of age and the middle age of 35-56, power is distributed flagrantly unequally. Notice the similarity of the terms “middle class” and “middle age” and you will see here more than a vulgar coincidence. Outside of the limits of the middle age there are very few wealthy people. It is the same in the whole world. If during 1988-1995 in Russia it was possible to meet young wealthy “new Russians”, then today you will not find them with a lamp. Only in middle age the individual gathers the necessary contacts, relations, solidly makes his way in some, as they used to say in the end of the 80s, “mafias”, and then come the power and the wealth. Young people, though, with the fact that they are thrown into war and that it is physically the most powerful group of society, has very little power and property, almost the same amount as children and less then pensioners. It is an unjust, it is a very unjust distortion that did not exist in traditional societies. There the warrior precisely from 14 to 35 years of age – the best warrior age was the most important part of society. And received his worth.
(Youth is the present tense of society. Children are its future. Pensioners, elderly – its past. There is nothing offending in these cycles because everybody passes them.) A thought comes to mind that with the help of demagogy, tricks, using the fact that the young do not have the time yet to create their groups (“mafias”) – the middle age simple stole, is stealing daily from the youth its share of power and property. The argument in favor of “experience” and “savoir-faire” of the middle age, the experience supposedly gives them an advantage before the youth, does not work here. In many areas of life the experience is acquired very fast. And the basic experience that the majority gets is the experience of cowardice and caution. It is better not to have it at all.
If only power and property were shared among the two principal classes equally. But no, the young person has many less than even a pensioner, the pensioner has a pension, an apartment. The young man, the young woman in our society does not have even some meters of roof over his head. As for the student’s allowance it cannot be even from far being compared to the salary of middle age. (Well, it is clear that there are middle age bums, alcoholics, sick people, retarded people of middle age, but that’s not what we are talking about!)
In short, you, dear boys, (I remind that all the work was planned in the form of a cycle of lectures for NBP members), partygenosse, are getting ripped off for generations. Stinking vodka, cigarette and old age, with dandruffs on his uniform, the military commander very easily sends you to the army and to Chechnya and there you will be dismembered from grenade throwers of the freedom-liking Chechens. And if you lose a limb, comrade, your Country will give you 500 rubles for an artificial one. And the government will never condescend to answer your question: if I put my own body and spirit of divine origin under bullets and shell-splinters, then why does not the government equals this death smelling labor of mine to this and that quantity of actions of a petroleum company or hectares of land? Of course in the State, especially the Russian, with the traditions of an autocratic insolent State, only the State asks the questions, it has appropriated itself this right by its own will. Then let us get clear with the State! If it is so insolently unjust, let us get clear with it.
