Victims of false theories

There is nothing more practical than a good theory.
Robert Kirchhoff

Dry theory, my friend, and the tree of life is magnificently green.
Johann Goethe. Faust



Fascism is when a small person believes that there is a big one and he is always right. Fascism is when there is a differentiation of people according to the color of their pants. Fascism is when the Schwartz dragon sits in everyone.

Problems of social teachings. Not so long ago, interesting materials appeared on VO about nutrition in Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Roughly speaking, the Germans started the war, but they didn’t decide what they would eat if it lasted a chance, and just at the crucial moment they didn’t have enough food calories! However, referring to stories war, we see that the Germans did not have enough not only calories. They also lacked metal, oil, and human resources (they had to collect foreign scum from almost all of Europe, and even nationalists from India, into the elite SS divisions). It turned out that the further the German Tanks across our country, the more they needed spare parts, and they needed to be transported on trucks that were successfully shot by Il-2 attack aircraft, and they also needed fuel. It did not work to capture the oil-bearing areas, but even if it did, then the oil itself cannot be poured into tanks, it must be processed. And then the situation arises that the fuel is here, but it is not there at all. But with regard to public opinion, and it is of very great importance, not everything was in order either.


German Hitler Youth and their leader. They still do not know what price they will have to pay for his ignorance and obscurantism


Propaganda and Reality


There was a saying in medieval Spain: “The king’s ax is chopped, priests’s bonfires are burned, but street songs are killed faster!” And something similar happened in Germany during the Second World War. For example, Hitler propaganda claimed that the British and Americans were corrupt plutocrats, mired in the pursuit of new washing machines and refrigerators, ruthlessly exploiting their native servants, and, in case of war, victory over them was ensured. However, the Luftwaffe pilots had a completely different opinion about the English pilots, and they expressed this opinion. Even German newspapers wrote that the Soviet system that gave birth to the Stakhanovite produces a huge amount weapons, and the stories of the returning war veterans (and the numerous funerals!) only confirmed this. But it was said that Russia is a colossus with feet of clay!

Dr. Goebbels v. Doctors, Bauers, and German Industrialists


Goebbels printed stated that Russian girls were all whores corrupted by the Komsomol. But medical examinations of the girls of workers hijacked to Germany showed that 98% of them are virgins, and many wear crosses around their necks and ask their employers to provide them with the opportunity to perform religious rites! This was especially striking to the German Bauers. And many openly freaked out about it, and many forced to think. He wrote that the British tops were torn away from the people, and they were not supported, but the Germans did not really believe in it. But looking at his leaflets about the life of the German "leaders", they were outraged that "the servants of the people live better than the people themselves." The denunciations lay in batches on the table for Himmler, so he was forced to advise Dr. Goebbels ... "reduce agility." It was said that Soviet engineers ... "there is nothing and no way to call," but the same German industrialists have repeatedly noted how exactly our specialists, or even ordinary workers, showed much more knowledge and skills than German ones! And then, of course, they "chatted about it." And those who listened to them informed about this. As a result, we simply have a lot of evidence of the intellectual superiority of our citizens (many of which, incidentally, were read in the original Schiller and Goethe!) Over representatives of the "Aryan race".

One thing in the newspapers, another thing in the bulletins!


And it turned out that propaganda said one thing, and life and reports from the front pointed to something completely different! However, it was already impossible to turn off the chosen path. Actually, the Germans lost the war on the 1 of September 1939 of the year when it started. They couldn’t get in touch with the same USSR, since all German factories at that time gave only 200 tanks, and USSR plants - 2000! That is, our country had a base, there were huge land spaces that needed to be passed, and then protected, that Germany (even if we forget about the courage and heroism of our soldiers) was simply beyond the means. Germany could be saved only by the cowardice of the elites, who, at the first setbacks, could consider their business lost, as, for example, happened in France. However, in the same England, its elites turned out to be more far-sighted and informed, but in the USSR then it was not the elites who played the main role, but ... the mentality of the nation. And you can’t go against the mentality!

Contradictions in everything


What was the basis of the defeat of Germany during the Second World War? It seems that there are many reasons: economic, political, and even mental, but if we think about it, there will be only one reason - the wrong theory of national socialism and the superiority of the “Nordic race”. Even the very division of mankind into masters and slaves seems to flatter the vanity of the former, but at the same time it constantly turns out to be untenable in practice, thereby disorienting its supporters. “We are the best”, but we can’t do without foreign workers, and they need to be fed well, otherwise they die like flies, and among them there are very valuable ones ... “untrue”. “We are the best”, but our vaunted technique does not work in the cold, we do not have enough usual felt boots, and our overcoats do not heat up. But the “commander’s genius of our Fuhrer” turned out to be not so brilliant, since with all our superiority we were not able to defeat “some Russians” before winter. And so in everything! And what does the loss of faith in the ideals of the system lead to? To the most terrible, albeit invisible at first glance: people begin ... "use it for themselves", act primarily in their personal rather than public interests.

And Hitler's racial theory required finding someone who would be responsible for all the previous troubles of the German people, and the Jews were chosen as such. And this was also one of his mistakes, and this error was more serious than the number of food rations not calculated in advance. The most interesting thing is that history already knew examples of such mistakes and their consequences, but did Hitler know them, and most importantly - did he try them on himself and his country? Most likely not if he allowed the repetition of at least one of them. However, it is very revealing and not so ancient.

Clever Jean Baptiste Colbert vs. Stupid Louis XIV


And it happened that Jean Baptiste Colbert, the Minister of Finance under King Louis XIV, based his economic policy on the postulate that the resources in the world are not unlimited and only that country will be strong, which, firstly, will receive most of them, but, secondly, it will do this by exporting its goods. Somehow it sounds very modern, doesn’t it that speaks of his explicit mind, and the mind of those who adhere to the same practice today. So Colbert forbade experienced artisans to leave the country, and the masters who came to France offered privileges. And everything was fine until in 1683 he died. Because two years later, the short-sighted Louis XIV, crying for the unity of his subjects, canceled the Nantes Edict on the equal rights of Catholics and Protestants. He ultimately achieved unity, but at the same time forced thousands of experienced Huguenot artisans to emigrate to England and the Netherlands, and this was the beginning of the decline of French power in Europe, because both England and the Netherlands immediately overtook it in the export of goods, a crisis began in the country , and it ended with the revolution of 1789 of the year.

So Hitler made sure that the mass of famous and talented scientists and engineers of Jewish nationality left the country, but he himself did not receive the atomic bomb, and as a result lost both the country and his life. But ... being a hostage to the wrong theory, how could he have done otherwise? Yes, his own adherents for this would have immediately cursed and ... removed!

Without a future perspective - nowhere!


Another shortcoming of the fundamental “theory” of the Third Reich was the lack of prospects for the spiritual development of the nation. “Since we are already the best”, then why do we need some kind of “perspectives” and “spiritual searches”. And it is not without reason that in Reich there were no outstanding novels, no films capable of taking for the soul, no poems, again calling not clear where. Everything conceivable, as was then thought, was already achieved by the German people! It remains only to manage other backward nations and consume. That is, there was no longer any desire for spiritual improvement of the individual, and this is fraught with moral decay and degradation, which, incidentally, happened in Germany. And “degradants” cannot defeat “non-degradants”! They do not have enough “spirit” for this. So it turns out that Hitler’s propaganda itself was preparing a defeat for its country, and the more effective, the more actively it propagated the spiritual “values” of National Socialism and its racial theory.

Another victim of the wrong theory was our country. However, our theory was much better than the German one, why the system based on it lasted more than 70 years. He did not address the worst personality traits, but the dominance of some people over others by right of birth is one of the worst invention of mankind, but ... the best - the equality and brotherhood of all people, regardless of race. The theory of Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism did not declare the best as a race, but ... classes, or rather one class, as the most advanced and progressive. Moreover, Marx considered him to be progressive only because he has no property, and he produces material wealth. But what about, for example, spiritual benefits? Or as good as health? Someone also produces it, right?

“The lord of things is not partial, for he has it!”


That is, the utopianism of such views of the fathers of Marxism and their followers is obvious. Even in ancient Egypt, people knew a very simple truth that “envious (to), (what) others have, is a fool, because (life) passes on earth, it is not long, leaving a (good) memory of oneself is lucky ... Is there (a person) living forever? .. He who is provided for in his house is not partial, for he is rich and does not need. But the poor man does not speak according to the truth. Unjust saying "I want to!". He is addicted to the one he loves, he is inclined to the owner of his offerings (i.e. the poor person goes over to the side of the one who rewards him). All this is stated in the "Teachings of Heracles of Tsar to his son, King Merikar." And ... isn’t that the case, or has something in our society changed since then? It is impossible to re-educate a person in such a way that he consciously limits his needs for the sake of other people, often personally not even familiar to him. For a while - yes, maybe. For someone you know, too, yes. Why not?! But not for everyone !!! That is, the poor will always strive to become richer, and if a person of high morality achieves this through labor, then there will be those who will take the other path, the easier. Not to mention that where to recruit so many people of high morality? In which village to look for them? But even found? But now it will be necessary to educate them! And here it is just very many and corrupts.

“Well, how can you not please your dear little man ?!”


In addition, people on planet Earth are also child-loving, that is, they care about their children and seek to straighten their path to prosperity and happiness. Therefore, those who had and have more than others will seek to pass on what they have accumulated to their children, to save them from unnecessary labor and hassle, “the leaden abominations of life.” So it turns out a society in which everything seems to be equal, but some people are always “more equal than others,” and for the negligible benefits that some have, but not others, these first will fight the second, no matter from the high stands morality was not proclaimed. Marx himself did not hesitate to live on Engels' money, and he, in turn, received them from the exploitation of workers in his factory.

Help everyone, deprive yourself!


The theory also ordered all proletarians to help. But as they said in Russia: "to give birth to everyone (to please) to walk without socks". And people in the USSR said so: “To all help, help (namely“ help ”), but they themselves are lacking (namely,“ lacking ”).” Moreover, in the village, and then in the city, where our peasants migrated from the village in search of a better life with all their petty-bourgeois psychology! A stratum of intelligentsia, officials, party and Soviet leaders stood out from them, and the views on life remained the same, absorbed in mother's milk.

By the way, in the presence of an incorrect theory, propaganda only brings closer the collapse of a society based on it. In the case of Germany, this is obvious from the above examples. But we, unfortunately, had the same thing in the case of the USSR, where there were three whole information flows ... going in different directions. One is "the world revolution and the plight of workers in the West." But time passed, and the revolution did not come. The second is the achievements in the field of science and technology that they were somehow perceived in the light of the information of the first stream. And a frankly strange stream - “feuilleton”, which gave eyewitnesses information about bathrooms and showers in workers' apartments, about their salaries, cars ... That is, comparative information, which is the worst thing to strengthen the unanimity of the nation. Only by 1953 did they realize that these three streams should be replaced by one — imperialism is a threat to peace, but there was no sequence here either. During the “deitant” (detente) period, grains of truth about life “there” again leaked onto the pages of domestic publications and this also played a detrimental role in spreading distrust of the domestic media.

“Tomorrow's joy is a stimulus to human life!”


However, if we talk about the future, then in our society she was and was very beautiful. It was not for nothing that it was in the USSR that outstanding works of literature and art were created, films were made, which were included in the world fund of artistic culture, which, as we know, was not in fascist Germany. And all because our art was oriented toward the future, and in the works created with us it was a question of spiritual improvement of a person not at the expense of his notorious “Aryanism” or wealth acquired by his ancestors, but his own high spiritual qualities. It was shown how these good qualities fight the bad and ... win. And it warmed the soul! It gave rise to hope that it will be so in life. But then in society the credit of trust in those who promised this “bright future” was exhausted and everything turned out the way it turned out.

A good theory should take into account that people ... are "bad"!


That is, if society needs some kind of "correct" theory "in which direction to go," then it must first of all take into account ... the inherent weaknesses and vices of human nature, and through them, and little by little, raise their possessor all Higher and higher. Undoubtedly, only that society is improving in the process of improving tools. But even their very improvement is a consequence of such a negative property of human nature as laziness!

No wonder the protagonist of the novel of the American writer Robert P. Warren “The whole royal army” says: “You have to make good out of evil because there is nothing more to do from it!” That's just that, and nothing else.

    And there is. People are not angels and in the realities of life this moment must be taken into account.
    Now it remains to consider how the sovereign should behave towards his subjects and allies.
    Knowing that many wrote about this, I fear that I would not be considered presumptuous because, having chosen the same subject, in the interpretation of it I most disagree with others. But, having the intention to write something useful for people who understand, I chose to follow the truth, not imaginary, but real - in contrast to those many who depicted republics and states, which in reality no one knew or saw. For the distance between how people live and how they should live is so great that one who rejects the reality for the sake of action acts more to the detriment of himself than to the good, because, wishing to profess good in all cases of life, he will inevitably die when faced with a lot of people alien to good. From which it follows that the sovereign, if he wants to maintain power, must acquire the ability to retreat from good and use this skill as necessary.

          The thesis "religion is opium for the people" is correct in the sense that it reduces their suffering, or even transforms suffering into the victory of spirit over flesh. But there were very few people capable of such a feat, and earlier there were, and now even fewer. And whether there is life on Mars, whether there is life on Mars - science is unknown. And science cannot give an answer to this question (well, in relation to, say, not the existence of life on Mars, but somewhat broader). I assure you as a candidate of sciences. This is not a question of science at all.

          One story with a very variable Hubble "constant", if you dig a little, it's worth it. Pretty funny. Astrophysicists adjust and adjust the foot under the boot, and the boot swells and swells! Nobody can understand anything (in fact). But they say that everyone understands thoroughly. But again you need to change the Hubble constant at times, otherwise nothing will converge again! Well, as the hero of Schwartz said, "and of course we will look!"

          But Newton's gravitational constant has changed over the centuries by hundredths of a percent, in accordance with the increase in the accuracy of measuring instruments. The principle of its measurement has not changed. Well, so he was, they say. If not for the apple, he would not have come up with anything. And I think that he just invented the apple. To make fools remember at least something. And he himself said - "I do not invent hypotheses." Only facts that can truly be measured accurately.

        The author got confused in three pines, a good theory should take into account that people have not gone far from primates and God forbid at least 30% curbed their instincts and nature laid down urges. And all theories are human attempts to pave the right path in the development of mankind, the path of self-improvement. Mostly erroneous, "we" are still at the beginning of the path, and are already ready for their subjective ideals to break all who are against, this also applies to religion and Nazism and all this "exclusivity." And we don't even think about the fact that "we" can be wrong. And it is high time to start really "thinking", "creating" and "striving". And we all divide, destroy and devour each other. Do you agree with a dead-end option? A person is capable of not being an animal, but so far it is very bad at it, and even not for everyone.

          The author somehow cleverly substituted "theory" for ideology. And these are not synonyms at all. And religion is also not an ideology, and, of course, not a theory. In no country did religion save one from bloody riots, civil wars and revolutions - even when everyone was completely religious. At the same time, any religion is built on false dogmas - and in this sense it is no better than either a wrong theory or an unsuccessful ideology. Ideology is needed: understandable, shared by the majority and denoting clear and simple goals. In our country, the absence of ideology is enshrined in the Constitution - but it is on ideology that the unity of the nation is built, and not on the ridiculous "days of national unity." For us, the ideology that denotes goals for the near future could be, for example, a halving of the level of property stratification, an increase in GDP from 12th to 5th place in the world.

        The author carefully leads the reader to the idea that the Soviet Union fell apart, because the theory of Russian Communism (like the theory of Nazism) was flawed. But what was actually bad in communist theory? The fact that the Creator Man, the Man of Labor comes to the fore? And vice versa, the parasite that lives due to the exploitation of the Creator is outlawed? What's wrong, what's wrong The production drummer, professor and plant director received the same salary? And what is happening now? This is not a matter of theory, but of people who redrawn it in their favor (the party nomenclature, which Stalin so prettyly “invigorated”).

      That's right, Alex. Let me develop your thought. The concepts of evil and good are relatively relative. There are two absolute models for the development of our society - this is Creation and Management. When there is a balance between them, society develops. When there are many managers, or a manager, creation goes wrong. Today we have a lot of managers and managers of fools. Therefore, with the creation of the problem.

          In the model of creation, management is embedded. The model of creation is the human palm. The thumb is the strongest, but this does not mean that it is the main one. Index - here is the control. Little finger - a certain charm, culture, art. Middle and nameless - hard workers. Everybody works. In case of trouble - a fist. If one dies, the fist will still remain the fist. And the control model is a tree (horizontal and vertical control). But in principle, when the balance is upset, it is always bad.

    His main thesis is that the main thing is not the state, not the ideology that is still universally recognized, the main thing in life is rumors.
    In substantiating his idea, the author did not specify either how Nazism was raised in Germany or the fact that, for the sake of the promised slaves and lands, one can stop being a person, did not even consider the real reason for the change * worldview *, This is when the RED ARMY crushed the Germans and their allies.

It's like with a gradation of awards - if the Oscar is the star of the hero, then the Berlin Bear is a smaller order.

        ))) for 70 years of Soviet power, at the cinema festivals you indicated, you probably received nominations in different categories for tens of thousands of films from different countries. I doubt that at least 0,1% of them can be attributed to the masterpieces that were included in the world cinema foundation. the memory of the winners in these nominations at the Berlinale or in Cannes or in Venice for the past or, say, 1990)
        A world masterpiece is not a nomination in any annual festival. Rather, it is just one of the points. There are a lot more criteria. If you talk about cinema (by the way, why did you indicate only films? Where is literature? Painting? Architecture? Music?) some movie attributed to a masterpiece should indicate how many people in the world watched this movie for example. Or how many people bought this book, or went to a concert or bought a disc, etc. Otherwise, what is the WORLD fund)
        What do you think .. how many people outside the USSR watched Moscow do not believe in tears in cinemas, on TV or, on a disk or on the Internet?

          It's easier with kin. And so the films are popular "out there":
          Moscow does not believe in tears, 1979
          The tape rental in the United States was limited, and local moviegoers specifically asked the leadership of some cinemas for additional sessions, and on the eve of Mikhail Gorbachev’s visit to the United States, Ronald Reagan specially watched this film several times to better understand the culture of the USSR and the features of the life of Soviet citizens.
          Sorcerers, 1982
          The cult magic comedy based on the work of the Strugatsky brothers was very fond of Western audiences because this tape is one of the first attempts by Soviet filmmakers to remove something completely unusual, not fitting into the framework of generally accepted cultural standards.
          White Sun of the Desert, 1969
          Brezhnev was delighted with the picture and ordered it to be immediately released, and in addition, he ordered the tape to be immediately shown for screenings abroad, considering that “The White Sun of the Desert” is exactly the film that Soviet cinema should represent. The calculation was correct: foreigners liked the story of the Red Army Sukhov very much.
          Kin-dza-dza !, 1986
          The fantastic comedy “Kin-Dza-Dza!” Was shown with great success in the countries of North and South America, in Europe, China and Japan. Spectators were delighted with the picture in which they saw dystopia, and not satire on modern society. Western lovers of science fiction films have expanded their vocabulary with phrases from the tape, and only the Star Wars saga was more popular than our film abroad.
          Mom, 1976
          This musical film with Mikhail Boyarsky and Lyudmila Gurchenko in the lead roles was shot with the participation of foreign filmmakers - especially for distribution in European countries, the picture was shot in Russian, English and Romanian. Foreigners were very fond of a dynamic, funny and musical movie story, and in Norway, “Mom” was shown on one and the central television channels during the New Year holidays.
          The meeting place cannot be changed, 1979

          Previously, only works glorifying communism or praising the Soviet way of life reached foreign countries, but Govorukhin’s film was a revelation to the foreign public, which at that moment was already beginning to believe that there was no crime in the USSR. Seeing on the big screen the adventures of familiar characters - law enforcers chasing criminals - the audience in Quebec was so delighted that they almost broke the cinema, and for them they had to call not cinema, but real law enforcement officers.
          Operation Y and Shurik's other adventures, 1965
          Gaidai’s kind comedy about the adventures of an unlucky but savvy student also liked foreign film fans who had long dreamed of seeing a Russian sense of humor in action. No one was disappointed: the lack of vulgarity, subtle and smart jokes and the play of the actors distinguished our picture among hundreds of its American "colleagues". As for Alexander Demyanenko in the role of Shurik, many critics still consider him a comedian "much better than Jim Carrey."
          War and Peace, 1965
          Some time before the release of our “War and Peace” in the USA, the premiere of a similar Hollywood production with Audrey Hepburn starred, and yet the epic Bondarchuk made an indelible impression on the Americans. Impeccable casting, the script, and innovative camera techniques, which made the picture unique not only artistically, but also technically, also played a role. The film was created by almost the whole country during 6 years, and, of course, it has become one of the most expensive projects in world cinema.
          Ivan Vasilievich changes his profession, 1973
          Western viewers unequivocally perceived the first Soviet comedy about time travels “with a bang”. It seemed that the language barrier could become an insurmountable obstacle to the understanding of many jokes and puns related to the peculiarities of Soviet life. But the past years and repeated re-releases of the film on disks once again show that American viewers not only did not lose interest in “Ivan Vasilievich”, but also gladly recommend it to friends and acquaintances as “a great movie for family viewing.”
          Cranes are flying, 1957
          Nikita Khrushchev in his time generally criticized The Cranes in the most unprintable terms. However, one can argue ad infinitum, and against facts we are powerless. The film "Cranes Are Flying" was the only Soviet feature film to receive the main prize of the Cannes Film Festival. And today he excites the hearts of Western viewers in the same way as almost 60 years ago.

If we are talking about movie bikes, then the drama "Ilyich's Outpost" was shown in America, with the postscript "comedy" - Americans were moved by the fact that at night no water flows from the tap. Also an achievement of Soviet cinema? And to be honest, there is no concept of "Soviet cinema" in the world cinema environment. There is Indian, Hollywood is, but Soviet ... There are rare splashes of cinema in the rainbow.

            Whatever a work of art (film, song, picture, etc.) was included in the category of the world fund of masterpieces, many factors must develop. If we are talking about a film, this is the quality of the film, script, direction, acting, soundtrack, special effects, recognition of criticism and, naturally, audience recognition, which votes for him in the most honest way-own pocket, and this should be on a global scale. A masterpiece needs ALL of these ingredients, and not just one. A good (technically) film that is not recognized by the viewer is as well as a good car in theory that is not for sale, then there is a failed project.
            Flying over a masterpiece cuckoo's nest. Like Gone With the Wind or The Godfather or Gattopardo or War and Peace.
            World masterpieces are the novels of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov’s plays, Tchaikovsky’s music. They are read, watched, listened, studied, bought all over the world. Like Marquez, Hemingway, Remarque, Balzac, Stendhal and so on.

                It’s easier to explain to you. Classical music is the same genre of music as pop, rock, jazz, etc. This is not a masterpiece a priori. There is a good classic, but not very good. Bad classics and (or) its bad performers, they are heard by a few. And the masterpieces of the classics performed by ingenious or simply good performers, they have a mass audience. Andrea Boccelli sold more than 80 .000.000 discs. This is not counting the Internet. And Pavarotti gathered half million audiences at his concerts

              The point is that there was a disconnection of information sources from their consumers. That does not negate the masterpiece of the works. Not everyone knows Chapygin's "walking people" even here, and in the West he is practically unknown, since due to the peculiarities of the language he is very difficult to translate. The novel "Aelita" is unique both in content and in the themes raised in it. Kazantsev's story "Guest from Space" had the MOST STRONG impact on human minds as a subject of literature, which is recognized, but is it a masterpiece? The novel Tikhiy Don brought Sholokhov the Nobel Prize, but Tolstoy's Walking Through the Torment is much stronger, the Andromeda Nebula contains a number of clichés, but this is a brilliant utopia, so world-class examples of Soviet works are not hard to find. It's just that not all of them, for various reasons, got to the right place. "Flowers for the Grave of Algernon" by Daniel Keyes is included in the US standard for literature, but ... how many have read it here? So here we are also talking about barriers and perception, and socio-political. By the way, since you live "there", then you should read good books published "there", right? Buy my novel Pareto's Law and read it. Not worse than many well-known ... but for a number of reasons, including social ones, few people know about it, only a few Russian-speaking citizens have read it.

                At the same time, no language and other barriers prevented becoming War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Cherry Orchard, Doctor Zhivago, Swan Lake masterpieces, or recognize Ulanova as a genius ballerina on a planetary scale.
                Each country has its own culture and there are strong things in cinema, literature, music. But they remain strong things only for "their" audience. Woody Allen's humor is understood by everyone in the world. Gaidai's humor is only in the USSR. Try to make someone laugh by translating the lionfish ..Comrade Saha .. Oh, what a person. It will not work. This can only be understood by Soviet people. In the same way, the Americans have, as in your example about Keyes, etc. There are things that are universal. Tolstoy or Dostoevsky touched them and they are understood all over the world regardless of different languages ​​and cultures. But Pushkin is practically unknown. He "touched" only Russian strings. This does not mean that he is not a genius or a bad poet. He is simply not on a global scale.

    Another shortcoming of the fundamental “theory” of the Third Reich was the lack of prospects for the spiritual development of the nation. “Since we are already the best”, then why do we need some kind of “perspectives” and “spiritual searches”. And it is not without reason that in Reich there were no outstanding novels, no films capable of taking for the soul, no poems, again calling not clear where. But there are in the internet and those who disagree with this point of view! For example, I had to read an article stating that: The 30s-40s of the last century were a period of "release of the creative potential of the German nation"! A breakthrough in technology, outstanding technical projects, developments ... complex architectural solutions, economic achievements, inspirational marches - symbolize this period ... At the heart of modern German labor law (FRG) is the labor law of Deutsches Reich ...Cinema:"Nazi" films in the Soviet box office: On August 1, 1948, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks adopted a resolution on the release of films from the trophy fund on the screen. During 1948-1949, the Ministry of Cinematography was instructed to provide a net income to the state in the amount of 750 million rubles by showing foreign films in open and closed screenings [21].
    In the period from 1947 to 1956, more than 30 films of the Third Reich were released into Soviet distribution. At the same time, along with The Girl of My Dreams or The Indian Tomb, anti-British propaganda films were shown, such as Uncle Krueger (in the Soviet box office, Transvaal on Fire, 1948), Titanic (The Death of the Titanic, 1949), or the Fox from Glenarvon (Retribution, 1949) Literature: After the Nazis came to power, German literature suffered the most than other forms of art. Germany left, voluntarily or forcibly, over 250 of German writers, poets, critics and literary scholars. Among them were Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Erich Maria Remarck, Lyon Feuchtwanger, Arnold Zweig, Ernst Toller, Franz Werfel, Jacob Wasserman, Bruno Frank, Stefan Gheorghe, Bertold Brecht and many others.

    Good sermon. It was interesting to read. It’s hard to agree with many. But the article is about values, and they are different for people, so it makes no sense to argue.

    ps The author did not explain why education "corrupts souls". Not by morning, the aforementioned academician Bogolyubov, author of Social Science, teaches the opposite: education is the path to virtue and freedom. smile

    The final, most scientific definition of fascism, we will skip.

    Georgy Mikhailovich Dimitrov: "Fascism is open terrorist dictatorship the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialist elements financial capital. This is an organization. terrorist violence with the working class and the revolutionary part of the peasantry and intelligentsia. Fascism in foreign policy - this is chauvinism in the crudest form, cultivating zoological hatred against other peoples. "

      This is the most unscientific description of fascism. Mussolini’s fascism was not based on financial capital, moreover, the Italian oligarchy in the rule of Mussolini was very limited in his Wishlist. There were no terrorist reprisals against the working class in Italy, nor was persecution of ethnic origin. Remove the noodles of communist propaganda from your ears.

        But the defenders of patriotic capitalists came running. This is understandable, black shirts are the most faithful friends of the anti-Soviet.

        Pogroms of workers and democratic organizations, the beating and murder of political and trade union leaders - all this is terror. Decrees prohibiting mixing with Ethiopians and Arabs, a decree restricting the rights of Jews - this is not persecution, no?

        Fascist figures in power, using their position, themselves became large industrialists and financiers. Of the 400 deputies of the fascist parliament elected in 1929, 175 held paid posts on the administrative boards of large joint-stock companies; one of the deputies collaborated in 43 joint-stock companies, the other - in 33, etc. - this gave the fascist leadership the opportunity to act in the interests of the entire elite of monopoly and financial capital.

          During the 21 years of Mussolini's rule, 42 people were executed for political reasons. During the five years of the "red terror", over 170 people were killed for political reasons only by the verdicts of the revolutionary tribunals. So where was the terror?

            Victims of white terror - more than 350 people, but this, of course, is the right, bourgeois-monarchist terror. But the attempt to jump off the topic is not counted.

            Italian fascism was noted: extrajudicial reprisals against the working class inside Italy, reprisals against anti-fascist squads, as well as the creation of concentration camps in North Africa (Ethiopia, Libya), where your idols killed thousands of locals.

      By the way, in my not enlightened opinion, the presence of awards is not an indicator of the quality of films. We have a venerable director - the whole Valeria Gai Germanicus. A lot of domestic and international awards. When everyone was throwing the names of films here, did anyone remember her and her "work"? When it comes to films, it's wiser to focus not on the opinion of experts, but on the box office and the number of views.
      In addition, what about the statement:
      "Theory without practice is dead, practice without theory is stupid"?

Of course, this is not consistent with Pareto's theory, but as a result, the film's lifespan is determined by the box office, and not the opinion of critics.

    It is not worth condemning theorists to become a theorist himself .. Germany did not create an atomic bomb not at all because it was not capable of it, or because the leaders did not catch up with the power of such a weapon. Using the example of Konrad Zuse's jet engines, rockets, night vision devices and computers, as well as a lot of other things (and the fact that after the war the Americans took out about 50 different industrial patents from Germany "on the ball" - I think it is clear that the heads of even drugged propaganda of scientists and politicians of the Third Reich worked very practical. Do not present them as stoned idiots (although there were such). The Germans simply did not have enough resources to create a bomb - their chemical plants were greatly overloaded (not to mention the bombing), with free energy capacities in Germany there was a disaster that was getting more and more progressing in the course of the war. The atomic project for the pioneers was a terribly costly business, while the Americans were forced to develop three bomb projects in parallel, with all the consequences (as a result, the fruits of two of them were embodied in metal) - as they say, they went almost blindly, despite enormous resources.In this issue, the primary role of free capacities / f financial influences / political will - and not at all a certain number of emigrated physicists or pro-processing of the population.
    It should be understood that at that time the Germans had a very effective example of the work of their "racial theories" - the British Empire, which crushed 2 continents and significant parts of the inhabited land on others. These comrades were driven by very similar "ideas", the Germans only finalized them, somewhat overdoing it ..
    I’m all about the fact that in the history of the world often delusional and cannibalistic ideas did not interfere with the peoples who promoted them to act lethally and effectively. Then the chip will fall ...

    My opinion is that the governance system is more preferable for Russia Collectivism based on internal resources and its own population. The Western model of capitalism will never work for us due to the lack of colonies for pumping out resources as well as experience in this matter (there is not enough cynicism and hypocrisy), Under tsars, capitalism rested on slave labor essentially serfs and then blown away, about the current silence. Sociolism Communism Collectivism is what the country needs for development, it’s responsible and the theory needs to be built for it, and the practice was already quite good, in fact, half a bureau was late for private property because of Suslov’s dogma, so that letting all the union’s achievements into sartier go without saying something as unnecessary people and country?

    So, the author carefully put the USSR and Germany of the times of fascism on the same level. This all went well. Other measures cannot be used to discredit the USSR. First of all I want to say. Not a single political system could defeat
    in the war that came to our land. Before starting the war, Germany carefully thought out its actions in an ideological plan. The main trump card was the motto-war against the Bolsheviks. Another equally important communists took away your religion, we will give it all. It’s true that it’s a trifle to get Ausweis. Each traitor justifies his betrayal. And now Vlasov is fighting for everything Russian. I am not interested in reading about German philosophy. Life itself suggested that how much. It is in Irony that a person with a passport goes to the bathhouse. I did not wear it even at night.

    This is the reasoning. Now we no-no hear that the Soviet system gave rise to freeloaders and lazy people. Others write that the USSR was breaking a man through the knee. Any system could take upon himself to break our man. It has not changed. Its nature has been preserved, despite to different opposing qualities. What does our person still have? Despite the different ways of life, the Russian people retained Inner freedom, freethinking and unwillingness to have a yoke. And since there is no desire to have a yoke, why should you wear someone else's? Even we had to put up with negative habits in order to preserve the state. We are often imposed with a European mentality. But we are very different people. They want to show their courage and say I go with an open visor. And we don’t know what it is. We want to impose European and American industriousness. Forgetting that labor shapes a person. And if now our person has no foreign distortions, then this danger is not far off.

    We must proceed from the thesis that man is a lazy monkey. And everything will become easier. There is a wonderful documentary by Desmond Maurice on this topic, which clearly shows that there is a man and that all his socialization comes from the animal world. When a man proclaimed himself the crown of nature although it’s actually a by-product of her experiments, it has torn itself from the roots and created a lot of problems. A good theory is important, necessary and most likely will be created on the basis of the true properties of human nature. Closer to all this was the concept of self-improvement from the teachings of Buddha. a lot of cleverness.

    THE AUTHOR smartly turned everything over from foot to head.
    A theory is created first to explain the observed practice, to understand it, and then to improve it. For example, Marxism was created to analyze the labor movement in the West. If there is simply no such movement, the theory becomes an instrument of the social movements that actually exist.
    THEREFORE: THERE ARE NO "VICTIMS OF THEORIES"! The victims are among predators, thieves, bandits when they encounter terpily and suckers. There would be no one theory, predators would adapt another. Theory is only a tool, not a piece of bread. What it will give depends on who it will be in. A knife is good for the one who has it, but only if that one KNOWLEDGE OF USE. The bourgeois know how to use Marxism 100 times better than the proletarians!
