Difficult economic situation as a check on society lice

144
And what is it, our modern Russian society? What does it strive for? What difficulties it is exposed to, and how are our societies able to withstand these same difficulties?

"Society consists of people who have common interests." Known to every student. But few students will answer the question: what is the goal of the society in which he lives. Why are there a schoolboy, not every adult will fail ... In the Soviet Union, everyone knew the goal of society. The brilliant goal is to bring justice to the world, freeing a person from money and isolating him from the primitive desire to consume any artificial benefits that contribute to the development of low instincts. And this would be the next round of human development. The social system, from the point of view of science, was well built: the sectors of society (scientific, educational, industrial, military, sports, etc.) closely interacted with each other, which allowed for some 40-30 years to send a man into outer space . The whole western world was shocked and horrified ... The best education in the world, capable of making a rural ruffian a brilliant scientist.

Difficult economic situation as a check on society lice


How is morality destroyed? Yes, just distracted from thoughts about the development of mankind thoughts about sex. The calculation was for young people from 16 to 25 years. Succeeded? Oh yes ... Short skirts, loose hair, bright colors of clothes irritated the brain, awakening animal instincts and impious thoughts. And in children of this very youth, such a "culture" has become the norm. I will say more: porn is now broken up into classes and subgroups, based on the personal preferences of the beholder ... "Development", you know!

How spoiled education. The way to answer any question is difficult, the educational process was difficult. Many still remember how it is, overlaid with books, run through chapters and paragraphs, looking for what is necessary. As long as you find what you need, you learn so much of everything. And the information that you receive, while you are looking for a specific one, is presented several times from other books, but from a different angle and from another point of view, which contributes to a deeper analysis of the information received. The point was not that you answer the question correctly, but that you learn to immerse yourself in material and science by stimulating critical thinking. Soviet man had more fundamental knowledge. But after the 90-s, "crib books" with a brief summary, saving the student's time, went to print. Ready solutions of tickets - for the exact sciences, a summary and descriptions of images - for the humanitarian. It is not difficult to guess where the students spent their saved time ... How did such "little books" go to press? Perhaps, because of this, they introduced the USE, which, to overcome, requires at least a little bit, but a systematic approach. The first swallows of "effective management" flew. I am personally afraid to imagine what is happening in the minds of today's youth. All social networks and sites on which they crawl constantly, just crammed with ready-made templates and uppercase "truths." And these motivators and demotivators, how do these “icons” affect the brain? Develop? What are they aiming for? To a beautiful life and to the consumption of material goods. Well, after all, we, adults, are mostly consumers.

Now ask yourself the questions: do I need a more expensive car, an apartment more spacious, tasty and varied food products, better home appliances, a TV in half a wall? Do you want to travel around the country and relax in the resorts? And to go with his wife restaurants? Going to the cinema, crunching popcorn, and lazily wandering around the malls, slowly choosing what your heart desires? If "yes", then congratulations - you are a true consumer, seeking to the comfort zone. What a person is capable of doing to achieve such benefits is a separate issue that I don’t want to consider. I am worried that this direction has no clear boundaries and frames. There will always be somewhere more expensive car, and the house is more spacious.

“Give a person what he needs, and he will want comforts. Provide him with comforts — he will strive for luxury. Cover him with luxury — he will begin to sigh for exquisite. Let him get exquisite — and he will thirst for madness. Give him everything he wants and he will complain that he was deceived and that he didn’t get what he wanted, ”wrote Hemingway.

But, you see, what's the matter ... In most cases, in a comfort zone, a person becomes fat externally and internally, and begins to resemble an animal (you yourself know which one). It is on such people that our Western "partners" rely. Such people in the victories of Russia are chanting, fairly filled with beer, "Russia, Russia", "Putin", "Russians do not surrender!" But if these people are partially deprived of the opportunity to consume, or (God forbid) their comfort zone is shaken ... They will be able to radically change their political views. It’s good if they are just in social networks and on forums going to throw mud at the "rotten top", instilling in the minds of fellow citizens doubt about the effectiveness of the existing system ... But they can create a "mass crowd", like in Kiev. revolution. And again, the change of power, political course, reform, reform ... And then, in the years of 10-20, some "nerd" will be perplexed: "Why do we live worse than in the West?" Yes, because in order for something to work, this “something” needs to be brought to mind, and with joint efforts.

I live in a great country where a great people live, able to overcome any virus from the outside and emerge victorious from any war.

    By the nature of my activity))) I often encounter different people ... I know one thing for sure ... It's time to bring the government and officials to life and no matter how I feel about Potapenko .. there is a lot of truth in his words and his question about the triple transport tax relevant as well as other issues.


    The question remains)) Manturov promised to introduce export duties on metal, but in the end it all ended in an agreement with big business and all the small ones were left overboard, worn out.

        And what is or has ever been a "clean" society without "lice"? The question is how many of them, these same "lice" and how much they can hate the place where they live.

          The author clearly distorts.
          Patriotism is good, and for example I have it. But. There is a certain scale of strength, as a rule, tied not even to material wealth, but to something higher. As an example I’ll say that I can endure a lot, but you won’t feed the children with air, and moreover I won’t even try to do it! Especially when they see the premiere with an iPhone on TV ...

            I support and I have a question in this connection - did the author write his article in a house with stove heating and a toilet like a toilet in the yard? I believe that all the same, in a fairly well-maintained, comfortable apartment with all the benefits of civilization ...
            So the presence of this comfort - if we proceed from the logic of the author - does it not threaten the author himself, who is trying to arrange, as much as SOCIETY, a check for lice, with obesity and moral degeneration ...?

                Metropolitan John (Snychev): "POWER IN RUSSIA has always been perceived not as an object of vain desires, a reward to the most arrogant, cunning and unprincipled fighters of the political ring, not as a bottomless feeding trough for officials and bureaucrats, but as a religious service to the commandments of justice and goodness, as" God's tax. "" Do not have pride in your heart and mind, "wrote the Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh in 1117, teaching the princes how to treat power," all mortals, today are alive, and tomorrow in the grave, everything that we have, You, Lord, gave. Thou hast entrusted us not ours, but yours for a few days. ”This idea that the prince (king, any“ having power ”) is only the manager of the power given by God, and the respondent to Him for the country and people entrusted to his care - lay at the basis of self-view any legal authority in Russia.

                Such a comprehension of it is impossible within the framework of an atheistic, rational, materialistic worldview. People who are not capable of focusing on the material, material interests of everyday life and the lower needs of human nature, rejecting Christian spirituality, are not capable of it.

                "PATRIOTS" swearing their love for Mother Russia and at the same time rejecting Orthodoxy love some other country, which they invented for themselves. "

                  In Russia, freedom of conscience. A large number of people profess Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. A huge number of people still profess Marxism-Leninism. Many people profess nothing at all.
                  Therefore, one must be more tolerant. The most important thing is to respect people and their choice. Those. man is primary, and his religious choice is secondary.

                Money appeared in Russia. Cash flows are poorly streamlined, the cash recharge system is lame because it is made by people who do not want to endure the lack of luxury. Now we are at the final stage of capitalism and will soon begin to switch to socialism (like other developed countries), only smoothly with the mind is necessary, and not through the Maidan.

              But I want to note to you that living in a capitalist society, we sometimes want socialist nishtyaks and socialist relations.
              Understand that in modern Russia there is not even a hint of socialism and, accordingly, all our relationships, including human and industrial, etc., etc., and the society itself is social. such as remained in our Glorious Socialist past.

                Yes, today's society in the Russian Federation, according to the dominant ideology, cannot be called pseudo-religious. But it is still feudal. Thus, it has not gone far from the socialist (i.e., pseudo-religious feudal). It's just that the feudal economic system has acquired a more traditional form. This is not a revolution, it is a transformation of the same system. The transformation is positive, because the so-called. "socialism" has simply gone bankrupt. I ate myself. And I had to do something with him. Therefore, the system has returned to the time-tested more traditional form.

                What nonsense. The history of mankind knows a lot of these different "socialisms". At different times and among different peoples. In different forms. On different continents. Under different names. Diversity, in other words. They have only one thing in common, this is the result - hunger, war, cold and mass destruction of fellow citizens. Do you think one of the sober-minded people wants this? You are wrong.
                As for capitalism, this is a stage in the evolution of human society. It is not homogeneous, it is a society. Someone has already stepped on this step. Someone is just going. And it is categorically early for someone else. He still needs to stand in the stall. Another "delicious free gruel" from a bowl to sip. Even on the bunks to soak up. Before the brain begins to grow in the head. And pulls into capitalism. But it will definitely pull. Sooner or later. Evolution, nothing can be done here.

                    It is necessary to calculate how much the population was in January 1918. (date of the Bolshevik counter-revolutionary coup). Then take into account the normal average population growth rate. Then subtract how much was in December 1991. And go nuts, and for a long time.
                    And your freaks like "how many were shot" are not serious. Population genocide can be multifaceted. And the shooting is only a small part of this process.

            A man is such a beast that no matter how much you give him it will always be little. Yes, there were people who were content with a glass of water and a crust of bread, while praying for everyone and asking for absolution for everyone. These include Russian companions - Seraphim of Sarov, John of Kronstadt, and a small number of saints. But for the most part, alas, a person always desires good, and the better, the more. Take any period in the history of the Russian state and this has always happened. That in the days of Ancient Russia, when the princes were sold, then to the Tatars, then to the dogs - to the knights, if only to preserve their well-being and the well-being of their principality; that during the transformations under Peter the Great, under the communists, what now. After all, no one will refuse big earnings at another job, if they pay less on yours, and the bosses stand next to you and persuade, remembering the great experience and attitude towards you. The same can be said about the car - I bought a Zhiguli, I want Renault, I bought Renault, I want a BMW, etc. ... In today's situation, when a person sees injustice in the state (huge salaries of deputies, benefits to them for everything they can and cannot, the same Medvedev with the latest "iPhone", and he cannot buy a chocolate bar for the child once again), he will do anything if only raise your material level. No amount of patriotism will stop him. Yes, and there is hardly any patriotism on an empty stomach. AND . so, passing by accident by "Rublyovka", then he (patriotism) and generally ends. When one can do everything and everyone, and the rest are leftovers from the master's table. If the employees of the enterprises knew how much the managers who manage them receive, they would be very offended (with an average salary at my plant - 22 thousand rubles, the general director and his managers - from 800000 to 2 million a month). And what kind of justice and patriotism can there be? Yes, we will go to defend against an external enemy, but who will protect us from an internal one - that's the question.

              Well, there are exceptions to the rules: they offer me various contracts with salaries from 70 to 100tr. However, in my current job I get a little less than 60 and I'm not going to leave. When the authorities found out that other offices were offering me offers, they got alarmed (I’m leading a narrow segment and there is no replacement). However, for a couple of years now I have been sitting calmly and sticking to our team. Because we are the team - in solidarity, working together, we are increasing the total turnover and each of them as a result grows in the same RFP. And another company ... it’s still not clear what kind of people it is — why take the risk if at the moment I have reached my comfort zone?

              Perhaps I will add:
              I need a modern phone, but it will be a handset for $ 200 - I do not need an iPhone.
              I need a normal car with cruise control and a more or less balanced engine, with sane suspension and sound insulation. Lada little, Bentley a lot, but the Hyundai Sonata just right.
              One-room apartment will not be enough for me, two-room apartments, too, cottage - bust. A 100sq.m. and 4 rooms just right - allows two children to have a room.

              Part of this is not, part is already there. Money is invested as much as possible in your potential - courses, you need iron for development and research. There are no strip clubs / bars (but I want to). But I understand with my head that progress is more important than momentary pleasures. Therefore, not everything is lost - I am not the only one.

        Oh how! Let's come to an agreement and highlight the accents. Who put forward the slogan-enrich yourself? Who smashed the socialist state to smithereens, putting Russia on the path of development? who drummed into young people the idea of ​​a successful career, the primacy of the personal over the public, and much, much more "WHO?"
        It always amused me how these little people, who imagine themselves as mayors, governors, great managers, when there is no money in the city budget, they begin to drive people to “subbotniks” “voskreniki”, thus essentially not differing from the communists. And when popular dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs is ripening, sanctimonious recollections of patriotism, "test for lice" and other hypocrisy, tearing at themselves Versace shirts with one hand, while groping in their pocket for a ticket to the Seychelles for a week of rest from the labors of the righteous in personal apartments, acquired by back-breaking labor.
        Patriotism does not consist in the general "approval of those in power." Patriot, first of all, a thinking and thinking person.

        It seems to me that in a normal state, a crisis is a time of checking for lice of state leaders, and only in our country they try to check a crisis with a society. Do not worry, our people have experienced a lot, the domestic wars have passed, so this crisis is over. But for my government I am just ashamed. Recently I listened to Medvedev, as it turns out the country has almost passed the crisis thanks to the anti-crisis program of the government. And I thought, when we voted for Yeltsin, we did not understand that we would be ashamed later that the country was led by this person. And you don’t even have to wait for anything with our chairman of the government, the incompetence and helplessness of the current government is so obvious. And if, at a high oil price, we could make fun of dancing amateur iPhones, as Chernomyrdin’s verbal mistakes at one time used to amuse us, now it’s just no laughing matter.

      Let me give you an example. In our regional retail network "Five Five" a certain "Confectionery sausage" made by the "Mirel" company from Chelyabinsk is being sold (for a minute, more than one and a half thousand kilometers from our region). So, the prices for this product rose slowly until they reached 100 rubles. Yesterday I go to the store - the yellow price tag "Fly in, has fallen in price" and this "sausage" is already worth (ta-dam!) - 55 rubles! Not a delay, I note. Attention, question! How much is the retail margin of a retailer if he has the opportunity to reduce the price of a product in two times?

Is it possible to constantly keep the price at this level? You can't. "Sausages" are not essential products. Buy them a couple of times, and you will quickly get bored.

Do you want to travel across countries and vacation in resorts? And visit restaurants with your wife? Go to the cinema, crunching popcorn, and lazily wander through the malls, slowly choosing what your heart desires? If yes, then congratulations - you are a true consumer striving for a comfort zone

      Of course, man himself defines the framework for himself.

      his words are a lot of truth

      And even more lies. The same Americans do not evade taxes as brazenly as our "businessmen". Before the Reagan presidency, American corporations (legal entities) paid income taxes at a rate of 80%. For ours - and 32% prohibitive rate. Income tax (formerly income tax) is levied in our country on a flat scale of 13% (as in Bolivia), and in all other countries - on a progressive scale: more income, the higher the tax rate.
      Do you think Depardieu loves Russia? Maybe he does. But he loves the Russian taxation system even more. Since in his native France, the highest personal income tax rate previously reached 75%, then it was raised to 85%. And Depardieu "faded" in Russia.

      But, you see, what's the matter ... In most cases, in the comfort zone, a person gets fat externally and internally, and begins to resemble an animal (you know which one). It is on such people that our Western "partners" are betting. When Russia wins victories, such people chant, heavily filled with beer, "Russia, Russia", "Putin", "Russians do not give up!" But if these people are partially deprived of the opportunity to consume, or (God forbid) their comfort zone will be shaken ...

      You are probably talking about people in this zone who received money from mom and dad.
      People who have earned this comfort zone themselves do not have time to chant and they understand life better than lumpen, who want everything at once and scream these slogans.
      You (the author) have blurred concepts, between people who really achieved everything themselves, and lumpen.
      But if these people are partially deprived of the opportunity to consume, or (God forbid) their comfort zone is shaken ... They will be able to radically change their political views.

      And it’s right, a person whose fruits of his labor are taken away for the sake of the Plato and incomprehensible political decisions. Yes, and the same economic - has the right to do so
      ... And then, after 10-20 years, some "smart guy" will be perplexed: "Why do we live worse than in the West?" Because in order for something to work, this "something" needs to be brought to mind, and by joint efforts.

      As for joint efforts - in more detail.
      someone asked me. when he received hundreds of billions for oil - he invested money in no one knows where, from Eurovision, ASTEC, the Olympics, Pipes, etc. etc. - stupidly eating and screaming - sucking, dough is not measured.
      Someone invested in real industry, and not in unknown chips, obscure friends, etc. etc.?
      Where is it together?
      And when the northern fox came - so right away, if you changed your political views - you are a traitor and let's share the difficulties, only as no one says. at least in half.

        I would very much like to see a person from power who showed an example of altruism and civil sacrifice in the name of the country.
        Dear costumes, timers, glossy faces flicker on television, but where is modesty, moderation, dedication?
        The question arises as to why a person who has become a senior official immediately becomes overgrown with luxurious cars, super-expensive real estate, accounts abroad, "talented" and very successful wives and children in business. For 25 years, Sistema has begun to reproduce itself in the person of the children of officials and it is IMPOSSIBLE for an ordinary citizen to get into this system.
        Lomonosov then was easier than a talented child from the province now.
        Everyone has heard of the Sechins' family, the dad who receives millions a day from the state and his 25-year-old son who has already taken a leading position in Rosneft, the family of "seagulls" with two "talented" sons, etc.
        Around what a bright idea do millionaires and billionaires from the authorities want to unite the nation?
        If around the idea of ​​preserving their wealth and privileged position, then I am categorically against it.
        Well, I can’t find a commonality of interests between the factory worker and the Rottenberg family, for example, I just can’t.

            Absolutely correct atalef do not be afraid to stand up against these Torah students and people who do nothing, because there are almost six hundred thousand people and they do not work (live on benefits) do not pay taxes, do not actually serve in the army and consider ordinary Jews to be "second class" people.

            And that's not counting the thousands of officials who steal a huge amount of money from those that simple "workers" Jews have earned, as they say, with blood and sweat.

            Police officers from the Lahav 433 department raided the homes of employees of the national road company Netivay Israel. About 20 people were detained for interrogation, including the company's leaders.
            According to the radio station "Reshet Bet", a case was initiated on suspicion of bribery and fraud on an especially large scale (we are talking about tens of millions of shekels), as well as corruption, expressed in the appointment of relatives of high-ranking employees of the company

        You can agree with a small reservation:
        people who achieved "everything and themselves" working in Russia are certainly not "suckers"
        therefore, for them, and more precisely for their gray capital in the form of dollars, there are offshore zones controlled in one way or another by transnational capital that takes them into account.
        Having millions and being "unnoticed" by the capitalist is an illusion.
        All our oligarchs have earned this "cookie" in their pockets by honestly taking money from the state.
        But this is part of another problem and a long discussion.

      In September 1921, together with his young wife, the writer went to live in Paris. He described life in France in the novel "A Holiday That Is Always With You."

      In 1926-1929, Hemingway's novels “And the Sun Rises (Fiesta)” were published - a pessimistic, but at the same time brilliant novel “about the lost generation” of young people living in France and Spain of the 1920s, and “Farewell to Arms” - The story of the unhappy love of an American volunteer and an English nurse, developed against the backdrop of the battles of the First World War.

      These Hemingway novels made a splash in America. All copies of the books were sold out, despite the crisis.

      In 1927-33, Hemingway books were published - collections of short stories "Men Without Women" and "The Winner Gets Nothing."

      In the early 30s, the writer returned to America. In 1932, in Florida, he wrote the novel "Death in the Afternoon", where he described the bullfighting with great accuracy, presenting it as a ritual of the test of courage.

      In 1933, the stories of Hemingway were published in the collection "The Winner Will Get Nothing." The proceeds from this book of Hemingway were spent by him on the realization of his old dream - a trip to Africa.

      The trip was not entirely successful, the writer caught a tropical infection in Africa and, in serious condition, was sent to the hospital. Nevertheless, he recorded his impressions in the book "Green Hills of Africa", in fact, it was a diary of a traveler.

      In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States, in response, the Americans entered the war, turning the Atlantic Ocean into a war zone. In the Second World War, the writer took an active part: organized counterintelligence against fascist spies in Cuba (1941-43), participated in the combat flights of bombers over Germany and occupied France (1944); stands at the head of a detachment of French partisans.

      After the war in 1949, the writer moved to Cuba and resumed literary activity. In 1950-1952, Hemingway novels appeared: “Beyond the River, in the Shade of Trees” and “The Old Man and the Sea”, for which the writer received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. “The Old Man and the Sea” is a book about a man who is alone in the world, where he can only rely on his own perseverance, faced with the eternal injustice of fate.

      In 1960, the writer returned to the United States. He suffered from a number of serious illnesses and was placed in a psychiatric clinic. As a result of treatment, Hemingway lost his memory and lost the ability to formulate thoughts in writing.

      July 2, 1961, after being discharged from the clinic, Hemingway shot himself from his beloved gun.

I wrote because the representatives of the country with your flag are constantly trying to show that modern Russia is the one in which "everything is bad." Your post "You know, either there are so many generals in the Ministry of Defense, or they are all large, or for some reason they all were in the NEAREST positions.
              I have no doubt that the children of generals also fought in Chechenskaya, but 15 and in one place. "I proved to you by example that you write about what you do not know. I, by example, proved to you that in Russia, children of the commanders of armies and troops, not only fight, but also die doing their duty, and do not hide behind the backs of their relatives, as representatives of the country you worship - the US McCain - from the media, through the fault of an idiot, soldiers on an aircraft carrier died. this bastard was not even condemned, she ran for president.

And so when in the country, as the supreme write, a crisis is ripe, and the common people, roughly speaking, have paper sausages and sausage, for those who are on top of course zapadlo, give up the 8-time figuratively speaking technique, write, spreading black caviar on red, without bread straight into the tongue.

    Society does not consist of people, but of individuals - subjects of civil law relations. People belong to certain classes. Classes are large groups of individuals that differ in relation to the means of production and the methods and sizes of appropriation of the social product. The fundamental interests of the class are expressed by political parties that seek to seize power in the state. Parties develop ideologies and wage political struggle. Ideology is a system of views of the class on the fundamental problems of relationships with other classes and the seizure and retention of power. In a class antagonistic society, there are irreconcilable contradictions about the relations of ownership and distribution, so the state is a machine for suppressing one class by another, an instrument of dictatorship. Currently, dictatorship is carried out in the form of democracy. This form of dictatorship allows you to retouch the most acute class contradictions. The political regime is determined by the severity of the contradictions between the ruling and other main classes of society.
    The "difficult economic situation" is a product of the prevailing ownership and distribution relations.
    "Checking society" for lice "" - monitoring the correspondence of the political regime to the balance of forces between the ruling class and the rest during the period of exacerbation of political struggle.

In the State Duma, it is a little different, but not very different. After all, everyone has already earned a comfortable old age before they were elected! Or those who sat there in the 80s and 90s! And they will sit there until they carry them forward with their feet! So don't count how much they get paid, that's not the point! And the fact is that you sit there and do exactly what they are doing now! And no way. Power is addictive. negative

      First, you shouldn't speak for everyone. And secondly, the wording "the power is delaying" is very convenient for justifying many crimes! Let us then abolish the law enforcement agencies. Let everyone survive as best he can, and if he does not survive, then he is not worthy!

    What is the title of the article, it’s time to check for lice. Officials steal almost everything and get away with it. After the collapse of the union, the people were thrown by the state, just stupidly thrown to the mercy of fate. And now it continues, but not so explicitly. Where are the real changes for the better? Why does all the blunders of the government shift to the shoulders of the people?

    I remember excellent scientific works were written in the USSR on the topic of "the mass consciousness of capitalist society." They have long and detailed everything, and you don't need to invent anything.
    As for the "crisis," this is not a crisis of the economic system, but a change in formation. The destruction of the socio-economic formation is taking place, and as a consequence, the collapse of the political model of society. The collapse of the established economic and political systems, seemingly unshakable, occurs due to a change in the model of social production. This is a fundamental and inevitable process. And this is happening not only here. The world is now global. But each society will be forced to choose its own path of development.
    So you can criticize, you can be indignant, but the process is ongoing. Whether you agree or not, the process is ongoing. I think remembering the story, you don’t need to explain what is happening and what will happen.

    we have a very fragile system, to be its patriot and to defend it, while it positions itself as "POWER" and we are "PEOPLE", stupid shepherds and a herd, I don't want to defend this system. Power to the people! As it was once, although I was born in the USSR, but I did not live there, but my parents brought up so much according to those patterns that I have nostalgia for a country that no longer exists! I dream of returning to it and seeing my homeland with my own eyes. No matter how good Putin is, as long as we live in this matrix, he has no chance to save the country.

    Good afternoon.
    The opposition of the people and the authorities, different generations, as well as accusations of the "sins" inherent in these groups do not answer the eternal question - What to do?
    By the nature of my work, I often come across officials and deputies of different levels. Some of them also understand that in spite of the freedom given to us in the 90s, “they and we” have appeared, and the division, isolation is increasing.
    In the USSR, no matter how we treated the leadership, we and the "nomenklatura" were closer. The leaders of a considerable level were strict on their children, mindful of morality and their own careers.
    "What is good and what is bad" was more or less general.
    Modern culture, first of all, develops its own exclusivity in a person. And therefore, everyone has practically their own morality, and if until the 90s we were guided by a common morality, then after gaining "freedom" - by our own ambitions and strength.
    The desire for travel and other material goods were inherent in the past.
    One involuntarily recalls the opinion of Bulgakov's character Woland - "they are people like people ..."
    The ruling party failed to realize its main idea - to make Russia ONE.

    Check for lice ...

    This test was not passed by the authorities and personally by the Guarantor and his servants ... It was too late to catch up and stupidly late realized that they were not expected "over the hill" and they would not share the money with them. Now they are feverishly trying to spin up the defense industry. Well, at least something ...
    What power does NOT do:
    1. NOT provided ideological unity of the people. She replaced the time-tested principles of development and humanism for the liberalistic GMO, in which the authorities and the rich work on a "rotational" basis (they live over the hill, they come here to collect tribute).
    2. NOT created powerful public sector of the economy, industry and economy. There is no systematic development - there is no controllability and mobilization of society. Could take as a sample at least the USA of 30's and 40's under Roosevelt. If you experience clinical allergies and diarrhea ...
    3. And if there are strategic mistakes, then turns on "durka" - all deprivation is a test for lice, you have to tolerate a year or two ... you criticize the government - an agent of the State Department ...
    And they didn’t limit themselves in anything ONE RUBLE. And to the people - new high tariffs, wild prices, "cunning ** made" by Platons, and the final demolition of social protection inherited from the Soviet regime.
    4. Beyond ranking authorities - first sign guaranteed big fluffy polar fox, so don't relax. We will most likely get out of this ass ourselves, without these effective managers who will dump in an unknown direction.

    About the desire for a car more expensive (more prestigious, cooler, etc.), the author correctly noted. Yes, sometimes a car is really necessary, but what happens with us! The vehicle turns into a kind of fetish, almost every advertising video, to one degree or another, hammers into the heads of ordinary people the idea that if you are successful, advanced, not a sucker, just a normal person - you need this particular car! Plus, the fruits of modern "education" are superimposed in the form of a lack of critical thinking and the ability to reason logically. I'm talking about cars in view of the fact that I have been professionally repairing them for almost 25 years. And now it's funny to see people who took out a loan and drive around in prestigious (in their own opinion) foreign cars of mediocre quality, overcoming 2-3 km a day to work and back! I think the situation is the same with other consumer goods. These are the fruits of reformatting society into a consumer society.

    The author is right! But not in everything. The desire in itself to live in a spacious apartment, to drive your car to your dacha is not shameful. This is what the progress of science and technology has given us. In the XNUMXth century, a water closet with a handle that triggered a drain device from above seemed like a miracle of luxury, now I saw something similar only in the underground passage of the station in Tübingen (Germany), here you are the lizuny of the West! It is shameful when a person becomes like an old woman from Pushkin's fairy tale. If, after having received a degree of comfort corresponding to the modern state of science and technology, he wants something in excess, envying his neighbor, he begins to try to get what he did not earn for his activity (I do not say work !, because the activity can consist of both in currency speculation, but such speculation is not work, but undermining the country's trunk, like a bark beetle). Then comes what the author writes about. Remember, in Mayakovsky's "We are philistines, you put shoes on us, and we are already for your power." And when the country's juices become not so abundant, they resent, begin to envy, become susceptible to the affectionate words of overseas comforters and overthrow the power under the silence of the people, because the people are also tired of the power that does not want to explain to the people, tells them a lie or does not force the elite bear the same burdens, sacrificing some of their luxury, which they seized in their fat years.

    All words about "consumer society" sound like a mockery of the majority of the country's population! What is a consumer society with such salaries and such prices ??? People still harness unthinkable mortgage bondage, dying in three jobs.
    For some reason, the article does not specify why, for what reason, now we have such a difficult economic situation, such an education, why such a decline in morality and a lack of purposefulness! In my opinion, all this negative comes from 90. It was then that the liberals established the cult of the "golden calf" and began to destroy culture, science, health care, appropriate the achievements of the people of the once mighty power, and this process continues to this day. And all this "test for lice" is the achievement of twenty-five years of liberal rule in our country. We were so stuck in these damned 90s and the fact that we got out of them was just an illusion created by expensive oil.

      You are not right.
      A "consumer society" is a society in which the consumer has certain rights, in particular, the right to exchange a product with a defect found during the warranty period for a product without a defect, and the state has the right to establish mandatory requirements for potentially dangerous products.
      This, however, does not change the essence of capitalism. You can consume, not only producing, but also selling. Could not sell - you can’t consume. Not able to produce quality goods - disappear.

    In my opinion, both the article itself and the comments on it, our attempt to combine the truths that we lived 25 years ago and those realities that surround us now. I just as many considered and consider myself a patriot of Russia. With all the achievements of other states and civilizations, I understand that I can be realized at this stage in Russia. For better or worse, it doesn’t matter how to eat. However, if we want to succeed in today's difficult situation, we must honestly say: 1. Those cadres who have replaced part of the party nomenclature cannot imagine what to do, how and where to develop further. They actively oppose people with more free and progressive thinking, guided by the principle: no matter what happens.
    2. Our educational system in the Soviet years was sharpened to "pull out" the unsuccessful and reeducate the "bad". The teachers devoted a huge amount of time to them. The result is that clever men will take care of themselves and will pull out those who are not successful, while receiving less knowledge, skills of implementation in life, etc., while the "idiots" and "bad guys" by the end of their studies managed to reach a more or less decent level. They, in turn, possessing a fair amount of energy and an unloaded intellect, stupidly began to realize their desires and subsequently often began to lead wise men.
    3. The money distribution system is still determined by the official, he is the main in everything - business (although he is very far from practical activity), culture (he knows best what to watch, listen, read)
    sports, etc. etc. As a result, industry is not just not developing, it is being actively stifled. What kind of import substitution, if some unfortunate handles for pans are made in Turkey. Look around you 70% of the things and products that surround you are not made in Russia, and the remaining 30% are made using imported equipment. our machine tool building practically does not exist.
    4. Our controlling structures function to a greater extent as an apparatus of violence, rather than stimulation of certain processes. The method of collecting VAT is generally a miracle. Instead of value added, tax is levied on the sale. For example, all agricultural products are sold by the manufacturer without VAT, and the one who bought it already pays not from the difference between the purchased and sold, but from the entire sale price. So the evasion scheme appears, etc.
    There is much more to say, but we need to clearly understand that any prohibitions, whether it be mini skirts or music, or something else, only generate unhealthy interest. This has already passed. Blaming everyone and everyone for our problems is stupid and ridiculous. It is not necessary to expect that the government itself will understand what it does to do for our well-being, it will not understand if it is not worn, changed, not given its proposals.

    Does the lack of bans on miniskirts or music give rise only to healthy interest? What do you consider to be HEALTHY and HEALTHY interest in miniskirts. How to do so. which is in addition to interest in miniskirts. which in itself is natural for young people to provide an opportunity for a person to receive honest money for his honest work, and to receive on the forehead for dishonest work (of course, this is a metaphor). This is our problem, and miniskirts are a trifle.

    Live to work. Communist spiritual tradition
    Work to live. Bourgeois spiritual tradition.
    Such a job, so as not to work and get a lot of money. Degradation.

    From a communist spiritual tradition, our country changed into a bourgeois country after going through degradation. The damage from degradation has suffered considerable and we will still reap the fruits of the collapse of the USSR for a long time. But! We are bourgeois, formatted by communism, which, in turn, was formatted by the Russian character. Therefore, "The goals are clear! The tasks have been defined! To work, comrades!"
    Z.Y. I personally consider the current state of the country (building a civil society implicated in a frantic love for the Motherland / family / dumplings / ladies / other joys of life) very, very comfortable and interesting. Although it’s like a straw-mill, you need to work hard at three jobs in order to take out life in abundance for the family.

    I don't quite understand the division into then and now. Vanity fair has always existed - "It seems, but not to be." Times changed - show-off changed. Just do not assure me that in some 1983 they could not distinguish a representative of the merchant caste by the attributes of wealth) Grotesque forms of "status" have survived and multiplied: a used pretentious car bought on credit, a Chinese Rolex for $ 100 on the wrist, an indispensable iPhone, manner to broadcast loudly in the subway by phone that "I left my car in the center, I am going to a deal by the meter, delay the Japanese, I will come and sign a contract ...".
