Mankind is tired. The planet is rebelling. A specter is haunting, the

specter of catastrophe. We must not allow it by the re-birth of civilization, in

which man will be his own helper, his own and his Planets SAVIOUR. Thereis no alternative.

1. Basic assumptionNobelist Albert Camus (1957) has put forward the idea of the re-birth of

civilization. I have developed his light, certainly with the ideas that Camus did not

have. And another thing: it appears that Camus, putting forward his ideaproceeded from the general educational light without accenting the hopelessness of

mankind in connection with the fatal corruption of his civilization. I have

concretized the problem pointing out the the present dangers threatening mankind

and his home the planet Earth with a catastrophy in the near future. I suggest a

revision of the look of mankind upon itself, upon the civilization in which it is

dwelling and the role and place of man in it. I have developed the philosophy of

ownership. In the two latest books Homo Liber (M.,2011) and Invitation of

Messiah (M.,2012) I prove that mankind has lost its way in the State, economic

and spiritual verticals, which lead it to death, for the deprivation of its majority of

the sources of self-development cannot continue eternally: any living thing

receives resources from its ancestors for a certain, comparatively short period of

time. I am convinced that the majority of mankind has exhausted its parental

resource.

2. The Theory of the ProblemNature has created the methods of overcoming the gravitation, which

allow a snake to stream along a smooth trunk, a gecko to sit upside down on

the ceiling, and crabs to climb up upon palm-trees; Conquering the vertical

animals from worms to chimpanzees drag their bodies upwards, not wishing

to be the slaves of the earths surface2.

This check-list can be increased by the flies hanging on the ceiling of an

unsanitary room, clinging to one another in a layer of several centimeters thick.Probably, the list is not limited by this. This fact speaks of the endless variety of

the self-developing material world. And man does not stand aside from this

process; due to his intellect and because of his natural inability to stream along a

vertically standing (in regard to horizontal) object, he compensates it by technical

means. Man tries to get to Mars, on which he will probably walk horizontally,

proceeding from his experience: now he climbs to the sky vertically in order to fly

in it horizontally. Hence, a vertical movement is an intermediate one-off

movement, which serves singularly to pass to horizontal movement on anotherlevel of height according to the requirement of gravitation. So goes the world and

Nature.

And what about the socium as another form of Natures existence? It has its

own force of gravitation the vertical of all sorts of power, beginning from

economic, continuing with spiritual and ending with the State vertical,

consolidating the first two and therefore especially dangerous for the human as a

species. They are all illegitimate and therefore temporary (intermediate) in the

general history of mankind. They are the consequence of the corruption of the

essence of civilization and the place and role of man in it.

Mans existence is imperatively programmed to be the living worlds

investor, for, unlike the animal world, nothing is given to him ready-made by

Nature. In case of his being unable to be an investor, he finds himself in the

position of a speaking domestic animal living on what somebody gives him or

allows having it in exchange for his labour. The investment of man in his and his

societys existence is directly possible only in case of his having some sources ofself-development. And what is this? According to Hegels dialectics all the things

in living Nature are self-contradictive; contradiction is the root of all motion

and livingness: as long as something has a contradiction in itself, it moves; it has

impulse and activity3. Contradictions are analyzed in philosophical works the

Marxist way mostly from the point of view of struggle and contraposition of

parties. Among other things, Hegel, to my mind, when formulating his discovery,

did not mean the struggle of the components within an object (thing, phenomenon)

itself for the possession of the vertical), which is inexistent in reality, but the fact

that they, being horizontally positioned, internally connected, conjugating with one

another, animating one another make it as it is, i.e. provide its EXISTENCE

according to Einsteins formula of Nature: in inner perfection. Without them it

does not exist.

Lenin has deciphered this formula of Hegels. It cannot be excluded, for he

is the only one in philosophy who understood the essence of Hegels dialectics

characterizing it as self-motion and source of activity, motion of life and spirit.Recognition of contradictive tendencies, he writes, in all the phenomena and

processes of Nature (including spirit and society) is the factor of the cognition of

all the worlds processes in their self-motion, which under a different approach

to the development of all and sundry, self-motion, its locomotive force, its source

and its motive are left in the shade (or the source is transferred outside God,

Subject, etc., whereas with the cognition of contradictive tendencies in them the

chief attention is focussed on the cognition of the source of self-motion).4

Applied to all living things, both in natural and social matters that means aspontaneous motion, creation in all its endless variety, which is impossible to be

created by a Something (even this singular property of matter excludes the

existence of God); as for man, he appears to be a self-developing subject on

condition there is no negative intrusion into his potencies.

Hegels great discovery in the science of Logics about the selfcontradiction

as the root of any motion and livingness is the TRUTH, which as is known, is only

one. The non-cognition and non-recognition of it is fatal for any doing (object,

phenomenon). I will specially emphasize: in this case the TRUTH is in the centre

of our attention, the truth of all truths, because it expresses the very essence of the

existence of all things, and its negation their non-existence. All the teachings

about Communism, for example, which are not interested in the problems of the

sources of its self-development are not scientific they are not true: the truth is

that Communism as a viable system cannot exist in reality. So, here lies the root

reason of the collapse of Soviet Communism, but not in the tactical errors of

managerial or staff character as some social scientists are still trying to prove.

The greatest merit of Lenin is that he spread that discovery of Hegls on the

cognition of the source of development of everything, excluding the supernaturally-

mystical God from it.5, which, I suspect, is treated by modern Orthodox church as

a great sin before it.

Even by this Lenin has made his name immortal, having blocked all the ways

of speculative searches for a society in which a man on the Planet Earth can be

happy being deprived of the sources of self-development.

Nature and History have endowed man with Intellect as a primary source of

his self-development I call it internal source, and Property, which I call

external source. Investments are possible in two forms: the first form is inherited

from ancestors as man himself and his own health: the second one is by material

wealth (capital). Today, the absolute majority of mankind, deprived of a materialsource of self-development (property as capital) has to be limited to the first form

of investment.

The Hegel Lenin idea - the TRUTH of TRUTHS concerning the cognition

of the world, creation, man and his society is focused mainly on the cognition of5The outstanding Kazakh poet and wise man Abai Kunanbayev (1845 1904), being a true

Moslem, reasoning grievously about the hardships of the world, once remarked in warm blood:

So, religion emerged where reason stopped! So, it means that thoughtless obedience will leadto nothing until we bring iman (faith) at least to a semblance of perfection, but now it is out of

the question. So, nothing is left to us but to believe that you, Allah, have created both good andevil, but you do not make people do good or evil; you, Allah, have created diseases, but you do

not make people suffer from them. Or you, Allah, have created luxury and poverty, but it is notyou who makes people rich or poor. It is impossible to understand you otherwise. //Abai. Words

faith, but you must BELIEVE them!!! Even if they are full absurdity!

the sources of their self-motion!!! The attitude to them both in our literature and

even in public conscience, particularly to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is not just

ambiguous it is definitely negative, the latter being accused of all disasters in

Russia. The TV channel Dozhd, though, is trying to begin the rehabilitation of

Lenin, but only from the point of view of the actuality of his teaching and his being

the leader of of the revolution. But I proceed from the fact that the scientific and

cultural heritage of an author, whoever he is is the heritage of mankind and it

deserves an adequate attitude in spite of his guilt. And Ilyich will go down in

history not only in the negative, but also as one who disclosed the secret of human

existence and thus helped man and his tenement to leave the track leading to Non-

existence. And it costs much, the more so that Lenin had come to positive through

negative: his revolutionary experience is a warning to those who are nostalgic for a

socialist revolution that has no future.

The incomprehension that a society can only be viable when it has natural

internal contradictions, compels the powers of a totalitarian (authoritarian) state to

create as a consolidating factor some artificial external contradictions

(oppositions), which are pushed forward: they initiate all kinds of internal and

external wars with everyone. In the USSR and present-day Russia a substitution

has taken place of natural-social sources of self-development of man (society), his

self-organization and self-regulation by all-round state patronage and artificiallycreated oppositions a destructive struggle of the nation against itself and against

other nations on the world scale.

Happiness does not lie in the struggle in which the question to be or not to

be for one of the struggling parties is answered. It lies in a normal, positively

creative everyday life, in the cooperation of people and social groups, where the

question is answered to be for all, today and tomorrow. Today Russia is

agonizing in her expectation of a miracle. The chief trouble of Russia consists not

in ignorance, but in a false knowledge confirmed in the conscience of the ruling

class (bureaucracy) by the hierarchs of orthodoxy. The problem of problems is

how to overcome the chief trouble of the Russian people. The bureaucratic system

is like a swamp, the elimination of which is only possible by draining. But it

cannot drain itself, it is corrupted from top to bottom, and the people are depressed

by it. The march of Russia to death, which has been going on for three centuries

cannot probably be stopped.

The country is ruled by dwarfish lawyers who are proud of restoring the

desintegrating state by the vertical of power. It is not given to them to understand(obviously they did not study the theory of the State and Law seriously), that the

vertical of power is an essential part of a feudal state in general and to a greater

extent of an imperial one. As a matter of fact it is a gift from the shamefully

collapsed Byzantine, by whose heritage Russia lives.

3. Unity of Mankind.

Mankind is unitary by definition. Due to natural and some other reasons the

regions develop irregularly. Nevertheless all of them develop in one direction - in

the long run, to progress. Russia, for example, having fallen behind with her

bourgeois-capitalist reforms by the efforts of Peter I, attempted to transform

technically the European way, remaining socially a feudal state. Then, remaining

largely the same after the reforms of 1861, repeated this attempt by the three

revolutions of the beginning of the 20th

century. The third, October (in

historiography socialist) revolution was in fact a bourgeois-democratic

revolution in the first stage, headed, according to Lenin, by Bolshevik agents. On

its second stage (summer-autumn, 1918) Russia tried to rush forward to progress

by the alleged socialist revolution. In fact it became a counter-revolution that

crossed out all the democratic gains of the first stage, and the country moved back

to totalitarian feudalism, practically with serfdom. Having created a state with a

population fully deprived of the source of self-development, Russia tried at the end


8/35

8

of the 20th

century to repair the situation by perestroika. But Communist

bureaucracy does not accept democratic changes. In spite of all changes in society,

bureaucracy never changed in essence, only one clan was changed by another:

tsarist bureaucracy was changed by bourgeois, bourgeois by communist

nomenclature, and the last one was changed by the clan of secret service men, who

are now in power. The last clan, shutting down the democratic euphoria of the

masses, by its power vertical returned the country to the mediaeval feudal

ecclesiastic state. Unfortunately, as long as there is need in governing (power) of

man over man, and it is absolutely unavoidable in Russia, for the majority of the

population is deprived of the property that could give him independence, state

power can exist without separation of powers. The demos (middle class) in this

country are represented by a miserable minority incapable of becoming the basis of

democracy. Passing through all forms of slave-owning, Russia cannot part with its

last form hired labour. The dependent position of the majority of the people

allows its minority, representing the state, to rule the ball, impose its

administration on the society and throw it two centuries back in its development.

However, the tendency to the unification of the direction, in which mankind

develops, is inevitable, for it is a movement to the TRUTH. But in the world there

exists a powerful well organized terrible force with a longstanding experience of

executions and Jesuitism religion, represented by different confessions, each ofwhich prospering on speculations of its primogeniture in the relations with God.

This force, counteracting the enlightenment of masses, hinders the unification of

mankind, making the peoples fight with each other6, subjecting the politics and

creating the inquisition.

Antique pagans created civilizations no worse than the modern ones. ButChristians flung mankind into the gloom of Crusades and religious wars for a whole Millennium.

God is One and Good. And all the evil comes from confessions, their fanatics and their priests.

Ifthe predicted clash of civilizations takes place, it will be so due to inter-

confessional contradictions, for example, between the Christian and Moslem

worlds, each of which trying to affirm its dominant on the global scale. It is a

force parasiting on the body of mankind, living on donations and therefore

immeasurably mercenary. Orthodox Church killed Byzantine, Serbia and is now

finishing Russia with Greece. There is not a single prospering nation, practicingOrthodoxy. Church is hindering the enlightenment of the people in every possible

way and is trying to exclude its best sons from history. In a most abominable way

such an attitude manifested itself in the fact of subjecting to anathema of Leo

Tolstoy, the greatest son of mankind. The whole world honors him, publishing and

republishing his books, creating films after his books about him, too, and holding

scientific conferences dedicated to the study of his heritage. Mankind considers

him to be its own property although he was born by the people who allowed

jeering at him when he was alive and deriding his memory after his death. TheRussian Government ignored the centenary of his death (2010). The Tandem did

not say a single word in his memory. It was all to the good, because it was a

correct inaction: they did not desecrate his memory with their pharisaic words

dictated by false motives (The Russian saying goes: There was no good luck, but

bad luck helped). The giant of thought and voicer of peoples sorrow will never

be forgotten, his glory is eternal! (They did not condescend to mention another

Anniversary (2011) Vissarion

Belinskiy. He was also disfavored by Church, being its great critic.

The problem of the unity of mankind is connected with the development of

civilization. In modern literature the notion of civilization is linked with a certain

stage of the development of society and its material and spiritual culture. There are


10/35

10

such civilizations as antique, perished and modern, including Western, Eastern,

Northern, Southern, Christian (within it: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox), Moslem,

Buddhist, Shinto, and others. There are 21 civilizations in all (A. Toynbee).

In modern view, civilizations are generally divided into traditionalist andtechnogenic types, differing in all the parameters and directions of human life

activities. The difference, though, is washed out by the turbulent process of

technical-technological modernization in the societies of the first type. Hence, the

development of civilization is based on technical development, evidently,

according to Marxs thesis of the priority of the development of productive forces

in social progress7. But in fact, the source of the development of society consists in

the movement of property and relations connected with ownership. The changes in

those relations entail the changes in all spheres of the life of society, in the firstplace, in productive forces and in the political system (progress regress of both).

The very names of those civilizations speak of the differences between

separate parts of mankind and their ways of living, material and spiritual culture,

i.e. what divides mankind into parts, potentially opposing each other. But is it not

more important for the people of the world, in which each man is biologically

connected with another irrespective of his location, the factor that unites them

socially into one whole with the principle of the primogeniture and seniority of him

who is better, including a progressive development of everybody and excluding the

division of people into the sons and stepsons of this world? And in this

connection, the civilized reality, in which mankind dwells should be called its own

name. The name, corresponding to the material and spiritual culture in which

mankind has been living from times immemorial is a civilization of owners,

dominating in the world in spite of the differences in the distribution of property

among social groups in different countries.

The secret of mans existence in the civilization of owners in which

the connection of man with a property is exercised not only for his survival,

but also for his development as a demiurge, and, Goethe way demi-god.

Man is an animal, but. The main difference between man and the rest of the

7C. Marx and F. Engels. Works, v.4, p.68.


11/35

animal world is that man, who was not given ready-made means of life, had to

have an intellect to create production - the second Nature. From that moment that

kind of animal began to turn into a human, whose existence and further

development was going on in a socium being controlled not so much by the law of

natural selection, but by the law of social selection.

Man is doomed to live in a world, which is built on deprivation and in which

there is no absolute fullness of amenities.8

In society, a competitive habitat is

inevitably formed. Overcoming the Natures (first, main) injustice and trying to

avoid chaos in the common house, man resorts to the category of ownership, which

becomes dominant in the world. It is one of the categories in which man began to

comprehend the world.

Ownership in man as a subject and in his life activity is essential. Separation

of man from ownership means an encroachment on his social-human nature and a

risk of dehumanizing him.

Painful as it is, but it must be recognized: from times immemorial mankind

has been ill with beastliness, and it is not evidently going to do away with it. In the

most prospering countries, which are very few now, no less than one third of the

society is in this (slavish-beastly) hypostasis. And the reason of it is objective, with

which the wikedly reasonable mankind is reconciled. It is remarkable, that itprefers not to discuss this problem (connection between the absence of ownership

and the transition to beastliness).

The civilization of owners was born in equal (horizontally!) for all people

natural and social conditions, which did not prevent the differences in the level of

opulence among the members of society that appeared with time. Those

differences in many factors, the chief of which was profit, led to the formation of

classes. The civilization of owners was formed in an elite form the civilization of

big owners and the power formed by them.

This corruption of civilization is camouflaged by an endless multitude of

definitions about civilizations, emphasizing at the same time the differences of

nations from one another by fundamental features, principles of life activities and

ways of living.

It is surprising that the term civilization of owners is practically not used

in conversational practice, nor is it used in science. I came across this term in the

article under the title Civilization of Owners by Candidate of Philosophical

Sciences, Dotsent of RGGU, the late V. Bibler. At the beginning of perestroyka he

wrote about the necessity of orientation to special civilization civilization of

owners, characteristic of the modern western world, including such a west as

Japan and Singapore. According to the author, this civilization is based on the

economy of private property, providing the conditions for the depelopment of apersonality; he speaks about the complexities of psychological character of the

transition to this type of civilization in our country. The trouble is, he wrote,

that our spirituality has not gone through a serious school of fundamental

Cartesian doubt that primordial cell of bourgeois civilization in the sphere of

culture. Vladimir Solomonovich wrote about the difficulties, arising from that

civilization, but he prophetically warned: The antithesis of this strange and

uncosy civilization is nothing; it is chaos and death9. That is, according to the

author, out of the existing civilisations, the best for a better life is a society ofowners.

Why is the name of the civilization, in which mankind is living, not even

mentioned either in science or in politics? Probably, because of philosophical

illiteracy of mankind. We cannot also exclude an obvious and understandable

reason: the purpose of the ruling classes and clericals is to distract the attention of

the oppressed classes from reality into an inexistent after-life with the belief in the

saviour who has established the present way of life, which cannot be changed,

for every man.

V.S. Bibler. Civilization of Owners. // Socium No.8 (8). 1991. P.61-67. My italics. A.B. The

authors thought that I have pointed out has probably been one of the reasons of non- acceptanceby mankind of not only the name of the civilization, in which it lives, but also of an unperceived

wish to change it, hence the search of another name for it.

4. Inequality in Human society

In public opinion that has taken root, the fundamental reason of peoples

everlasting ill-being is the consequence of Gods punishment or the grudging and

greed of the rich. The last takes place, of course. But it is secondary. The primary

reason is the present discord in peoples community among its members the

second injustice of Nature to man. It entails a kind of natural enaquality among

them, for example, sexual, and with time inequality in property autonomy;

people were divided into the rich and the poor. It was not brought from heaven by

an unknown Something appointing for some to be rich and for the others poor, as

priests of all religions have been binding for thousands of years without even

trying to prove anything.

As a matter of fact, as has been said above, man is doomed to live in a world

of hardships. This circumstance is general it is equally negative for all people.

The intention of every man to be here and now and develop (tobe in the future)

in interaction with realities is connected with his abilities (inabilities), which are

utterly individual. People are all different: in sex, age, health, physical and

psychical power, intellect, etc. Doomed to live in conditions of deprivations,generating competitive surroundings (market), generating, in their turn private

property, by virtue of the individual characteristics mentioned above, people

acquire living facilities according to their abilities: someone for survival, and

someone for the development of himself and yps society. The social

contradiction among peopleis quasiprogrammed.


14/35

14

I lay special emphasis on this thought which fully corresponds to the present

realities. Not in order to put up with the inevitability of pauperization of some

categories of people, but on the contrary to overcome this objective circumstance

of subjective quality by measures of reasonable society, recognizing the

deprivation of somebody of the sources of self-development to be immoral,

specifically according to their physical or intellectual level. Class struggle

inevitably leads to revolutions against the rich, and as a result, the majority of

the society becomes still poorer, a small group immeasurably rich, sitting on

bayonets, and all together on a social powder keg. All that leads to wars of all

levels: civil, inter-ethnic and inter-state, which grow into the world slaughters of

peoples. But something different must be chosen, something that gives well-being

to all people.

So, I will repeat myself: the external sourse of self-development (for the

majority of people it would be more correct to say survival) is obtained by

man in competitive struggle in human community, which is immeasurably

disharmonious both intellectually and physically. Due to this reason in the

community of people, each man can obtain (produce) means of survival according

to his abilities.

5. Way out of the Dedlock.In the book Homo Liber I am trying to continue the passage from delusion

to the search of the truth, started by the nobelist (1957) Albert Camus (Human

Rebellious). In it, my concept of co-ownership of citizens in the national wealth is

completed, and in the following one in the worlds wealth on the whole. The

main thesis is: ownership is not something that forms the classes of capitalists

and proletarians, as it is traditionally asserted in our social science, but an

absolutely necessary attribute of man as such, human in all his existence;without them he is turned by the powers and the rich into a sort of domestic

animal, in which status is the overwhelming majority of mankind and

practically all Russian people. Ownership, causing competitive activity, which

results in the quantitative-qualitative rise of wealth, provides man as a species

with survival and development. Accordingly with development for society.

Most convincingly the process of negative development manifested itself in

the attempt of socialist construction by the proletarian state headed by Lenin

(most unfortunately, it was an experience badly investigated and therefore, to

everybodys trouble, not taken into account in the following development of the

USSR, nor in the present-day Russia). It is known that in 1914 Lenin understood

Hegels idea of internal contradiction as the root of all livingness. But he guided

the people to the revolution for the sake of the dictatorship of the proletariat, that

had no internal contradiction generating a source of self-development and therefore

able to survive only for a short time, provoking external contradictions under this

or that flag up to seeking enemies in its own ranks. I explained it by his

enthrallment in Marxism. Besides, the revolution was in fact going on in this

country, being nationwide (peasants revolution). Most likely, Lenin, as if using a

clich(!), counted on a Communist State governed by him10. For the whole

history of Russia, her growth and development, although it did not always go in the

right way because of its social backwardness, owed itself to the State and

Government called very wittingly by one of Russias outstanding sons the only

European (in Russia!). It was a monarchic and bureaucratic Government, though,

under which some classes existed with sources of self-development, although in

confined conditions: peasantry, middle class, and the class of bourgeosie which

was forming within them. When he understood that the proletarian state, deprived

of any class with the source of self-development capaple of control over the

bureaucratic nucleus of state power, would perish from bureaucracy, he changed

his policy by introducing NEP (New Economic Policy). He proved it without using

the philosophical language, but in the language understandable to the population of

Russia. For the philosophical language he had neither health nor time, nor probably

enough knowledge formed and checked by practice. Besides, the atmosphere of the

civil war and total starvation did not allow any philosophical discussions, which

would definitely have arisen if Lenin had at least hinted about a philosophical

grounding of the transition to the new policy. Due to our ignorance, we are

inclined to argue any point with one another, and the arguments are won by

Then mankind had no experience of state building by masses, which eventually showed thatthe State, irrespective of what class it is headed by, is a bureaucratic institution with its

appropriate laws and all the ensuing negative consequences.

Lysenkos, who fill all the state and near-power troughs for their noadies who

are loyal to the state power. I do not think he forgot about the conclusions he came

to when studying the Science of Logics of Hegel. Dialectics was his true, and

maybe, the only ally, for even the people surrounding him (in which there were

rather remarcable persons according to the Russian proverb: As is the priest, so is

his curacy) infrequently understood him with difficulty. It was the knowledge of

dialectics as a science that prompted him to turn from military communism to

NEP. That is my opinion11

.

The basis of the above-mentioned (my!) concept is the philosophy

(dialectics) of the sources of self-development (self-sufficiency) of man. Its

realization would rid mankind of endless wars, crises, unemployment, the

permanent dependence of women and many professionals of science and art, whoare necessary to mankind, but who are living in poverty. The concept was

developed for Russia. In the book, 5 reasons were given for which Russia was

chosen the first to put it into practice. In spite of the fact that her people was

mainly represented by the proletarians of physical and intellectual labour, it is

known that they are deprived of the external source of self-development. The

people are economically invalid, therefore politicaly incapacitated. Nevertheless, I

think, that the problem of overcoming the process of turning mankind into beasts

must be started with Russia. Why? In the first place, because she, being a Europeancountry lags behind Europe in all parameters. We feel ashamed. And not only we,

but also the world civilization, and it is threatenengly dangerous. In the second

place, more than half of the national wealth is in the hands of the state, and the rest

RCP(b) On the Unity of the Party). The reason of that was the formation of many factionswithin the party, which opposed the course to the new economic policy under the total famine up

to mass cannibalism. It explains, but cannot justify the adoption of the mentioned resolution,which later on served Stalin as the main weapon for liquidation of Lenins best comrades-

in=arms and transformation of the Party into an Order of the Knights of the Sword, in whichrole it ceased to exist, burying with itself the attempt of the people to acquire a new way of Life.

Before the adoption of a very important resolution every man must make sure if it corresponds tothe TRUTH, for it may so happen yhat in case of the adoption of an UNTRUE resolution it will

be impossible to cancel it (and the one who adopted it had to expect it!). Faction, giving birth toBolsheviks as a party is just the TRUTH of this sort in the life activities of the governing force of

society, the ignoring of which dooms it to death.

of it in the hands of the criminals (oligarchs and mafia), therefore, the wealth can

be easily (technically) transferred to the people with the mechanism excluding the

vicious circulation of the enrichment of the minority by the ruin of the majority. In

the third place, because of the states priority as national wealth in the peoples

mentality and the concept can only be realized by the state; there is no other force,

that can do it; and it will not meet any stiff resistance. In the fourth, the messianic

idea has been very deeply rooted through the ages in peoples minds; to be an

example for the whole mankind has been a cherished dream of every Russian; the

suggested concept is for him, so, as they say, Full steam ahead! In the fifth, the

heavy Russian historical burden (victories and defeats were always carried out on

the shoulders of Captain Tushins. Nobody could ever manage to make use of

them. And they are not in the minority yet. That is the mystery of good old Russia,

and it is also her bare truth. And the bareness of the truth seems to be in the

following: Captain Tushins, having put up with their life, take realities as they

are, neither complaining of their fate, but agreeing with it: What has happened has

happened. According to A, Herzen, a slave has the least selfishness in him,

therefore he keeps up his present existence with all his might, taking all his

misfortunes without weeping or knocking his chest. Moreover, he recognizes his

country as his fatherland being himself in a slavish state (as is generally known, a

slave has no fatherland). That is why the deterioration of the situation is going on

slowly. The world outlook of Captain Tushins is typical of an average Russian,

typical of the majority of the Russian people, with common sense and Orthodox

Christian (according to Konchalovski, the Orthodoxy today is on the level of the

5th

century). Orthodoxy, as I have written above, being the most conservative

branch of Christianity, hinders the development of the Russian people; it guards

and keeps safe the feudal level of the organization of its economy and state,

standing in the way of its national development: Russians are atomized people, not

connected with one another economically; they are disunited people, but not a

nation and therefore easily parting with millions of their countrymen who have

been incessantly leaving their country for centuries due both to death and

emigration. So, the bare truth of the Russian people consists in the fact that, that

Russia has been kept in the backward state during all her history, claiming at the

same time her decisive participation in world politics. Development fails. In the


18/35

18

long run it is a backward movement. Such a Russia has no future. To bring the

state elite, as well as the majority of the people to reason is an impossible thing. It

requires a mighty intellect of Lenin type, which is not in existence now; they

probably come into the world no oftener than once in a thousand years.

Captain Tushins They are likely more in the past than in the present

This gift of History, like the physical gifts of nature has been used up by the State

and is being used up rather carelessly, in a predacious way. By the way, the people,

with its natural sense of self-esteem began to think of the price of victories, of

which it has had a lot in its history, and the fruit of them were given not to the

people, but to bureaucracy growing in number every hour. All the depressing

things can in the long run induce Captain Tushins to do something sensible on

the way to their liberation according to the proverb: It takes a long time for aRussian man to harness, but he rides fast.

There is also the 6th

reason, and it may be the most important one: it has

twice initiated successfully the activity of part of society for the realization of the

source of self-development of man: NEP and the shuttle movement of bargainers

at the beginning of Perestroika. A third experience seems to be inevitable

according to the Russian historical rule and the formula: God loves the Trinity. It

would only be logical. But, according to the definition of the outstanding Russian

religious philosopher N.A. Berdyaev, Russia is a country of Womans element

she is like a bride in expectation of her bridegroom. Not infrequently, such

bridegrooms were outsiders who did not much speak Russian and treated their

Russian subjects accordingly. In our masculine estimation, one of the essential

traits of a womans nature is the absence of logic (evidently, our masculine logic!).

Indeed, let us turn to the history of the expansion of the Russian territory by this or

that means. They seized half the world, populating the two parts of the world, but

they have not developed the seized territories properly (till now!); they encouraged

the mixing of their title people with other ethnic groups (on their territories). That

resulted in the fact that in a number of cases they became second-class citizens or

non-citizens of the newly-formed states when those territories fell from Russia.

And it is question of tens of millions of Russians or Russian-speaking people, who

would be very useful for the development of the age-old virgin lands. At least now!

Such an illogical absurdity! The ruling bureaucracy is not likely to make an

exception from the general tradition in our case and start solving the problem of

the sources of self-development of masses. Today Russia is agonizing in

expectation of a miracle. With the vertical of power this miracle can manifest

itself in the ugliest way. The time is not far away when Kuban, for example, with

some chieftain at the head and his Cossacks will try to separate from Russia. It will

be followed by the Don Region, Orenburg Region, etc., etc. Russia will

disintegrate, only Muscovy will be left (by the way, it is not exactly Russia

nowadays!). In order to preserve Russia, at least in todays reduced form, the

country must be immediately complete with market economy, tying the regions

and citizens together by horizontal bonds of private property relations. Politically,

being in fact a unitary, feudal-vertical Russia, she should be turned into a

Federation (Confederation) of national-cultural autonomies (including Russian

autonomies) with their own budgets, parliaments, judicial and local powers, whose

prerogative will be all the internal affairs of the regions, leaving all the questions of

defense and diplomacy to the centre. The sooner it will be implemented, the better

chance will Russia have to remain on the political map of the world (if Russia were

like that, it would not have disintegrated). And the peoples living under the

protection of the Russian State will finally turn into nations and will be mature

enough for national development; they will also stop decreasing quantitatively and

begin to fill the nations, which, unlike us, do not suffer demographically; they will

also improve in quality.

We need to change the state from autocratic to democratic, because

without it, no essential changes are possible or vital. The evidence to that are

the consequences of the modernizations Peter the Greats and Bolsheviks,

which ended not only in the collapse of the two Russian Empires with the

victims of millions of people, but also by not overcoming the centurys

backwardness practically in all parameters. And the present-day Putin Medvedev modernization will end up in the same way, or something terrible

may happen. Endless victimization of the people cannot end well!

The situation of the country is a deadlock, unless the life of the people is

quickly changed. The change consists in giving the sources of self-development to

everybody and using them. Our disappearance from the ethnic map of the world

will not make us wait long for it. Some more details about it are given by Nicholas

Eberstadt an American economist and demographer, the author of seventeen

books; during the last thirty-five years he has been trying to find an answer to the

question: why the people of the Russian Federation die in such quantities and with

a speed with which no other population has ever died in the time of peace. With

each generation life of the Russian people becomes shorter, although it is supposed

to grow. In an interview, when asked about the comparison of Russia with the

countries of the Third world, he said: To compare them with Russia would mean

to offend them; according to the statistics () (2006), the length of life in Russia

is lower than in Bangladesh, Kampuchea or Yemen; Today the expected lifetime

of a fifteen-year old boy in Russia is shorter than in Somalia; the expected life-

time of a Muscovite is shorter than that of the inhabitant of Calcutta. He is trying

to find the reasons of that: Russia occupies 101 place out of 141 in economic

freedoms, 147th

out of 180 in the perception of corruption the people are

silent, the Russian Administration may ignore this themeaccording to one

investigation the most unhappy peoples of the world are the citizens of Russia and

Zimbabwe. I think, he says, it explains at least part of the enigma12

. Eberstadt

summarizes: Russia will become one of the under-populated and unhealthy regions

of the world. There is the latest confirmation in the Internet: the infant death-rates

(to 1000 newly-born) are as follows: Great Britain-4.0, France-4.1, Germany-3.5,

Poland-5.0, Lithuania-4.3, Latvia-5.7, Russia-7.5; In Russia today there are 59

abortions to 100 births.

I join the conclusion of the quoted author. A people cannot be happy if it is

deprived completely of the sources of development and is proceeding with an

outstretched hand, on which the powers sometimes put the left-overs from thesatisfaction of their and their valetrys crapulence. Therefore, it is in depression,

and it does not want to leave a posterity (multiply unhappy people), and it does not

like to live (life is worthless). Power in this country is antinational and anti-

Russian. In fact, there is genocide in Russia. Judging by the activities of the

former permanent representative of Russia in NATO, whose role is played by the

most militant militarist D. Rogozin (evidently, the most consistent follower of

Putin, at present Vice Premier of the Government on military affairs) his open

propaganda of militarization of the country (his speech on the radio Echo of

Moscow of Oct. 22, 2011), we are being involved for a second time in a cold war,

competing with the United States and their allies in the equipment of the Army.

One defeat of the USSR in a cold war has not been enough. Instead of taking

advantage of the moment of total absence of enemies of the country and solving

the urgent problems, the countrys administration (Putin) sets the task of

organizing a breakthrough in the military spheres equal to that of the 39s in the

Soviet days (It would be good to recall Lenins (not Stalins) experience: at the end

of the Civil War he reduced the Army several times, although the Soviets were in a

TOTALLY hostile surrounding).

The danger of the situation does not only lie in mankind itself, nor is it in the

lack of its intellectual gains: the social-economic problems are increasingly

aggravating, and their incompetent solutions by the powers resemble boiling or

pounding snow. Deadly weapons are being produced, including bacteria which

may cause death. No better are things in its home the Planet Earth with the

catastrophic tsunamis and earthquakes, against which it cannot do anythingessential (and probably does not much want to), to say nothing of the unpredictable

and aggressive (lightening, meteors) behavior of the Space13

. The mentioned

problems require the maximal attention of investigators. Iit is high time to abandon

the trodden path of thinking, in which man-object, mercenarily patronized by the

powers together with the clergy representing the inexistent god and go on the road

where he is SUBJECT-DEMIURGE, who creates and patronizes all and sundry -

all that is necessary for his own self. It seems to me that now MAN is approaching

the MOMENT OF TRUTH with god within himself, in his sense of the world!13

The world-famous outstanding composer Sofia Gubaidullina says: Now we are living out the

period of Apocalypse. Today so many deadly substances of mass destruction have beencreated it is just good luck that the Earth has not exploded. Every day is the promise of the end

of the world. It is only strange that at this time that the danger is so near, the mass of people onlywish to entertain themselves and do not think about anything. //Tatar World, 2012. No.8 (6343). p.13.

His symptoms are the awakening peoples whose historical development stopped in

the ages.

6. Intellectual breakthroughMankind has not been able to give an answer to a single challenge of Nature

and History of global level. To some extent it could reduce harm, but could not

solve the problem. And religions deluded mankind to such an extent that it did not

even try to answer, considering them divine (untouchable!). It appears that intellect

is given to man to live in this creation in misery, dependence, with outstretched

hand and appeals to the powers that be and the inexistent Something called God.

Apparently, man is still sub-man, and he has not yet disengaged from the

rest of the animal world, separating from it only by his ability to speak, understand

and feel his plight, but not to control the conditions of his existence and exclude

everything that makes him a beast, up to cannibalism. Intellectuals have achieved

much to facilitate labor, investigating Nature and Technology closely associated

with it. But the situation is bad with the sociological activities of intellectuals.

There are great achievements in the theories of wars of all hypostases, social

revolutions, propaganda, art, literature, etc. But mankind does not know in what

civilization it lives, and what civilization should be created for the sake ofeternalLIFE on the Earth.

Science about man and his society, guided by class-religious methodology of

the cognition of the world, of man and the foundations of his existence, is now

changing to the democratic panhuman secular methodology of the cognition of the

world, of biological man (speaking and thinking animal) and a social man (man as

such) and his way of life. The purpose is to create conditions for building a society,

in which every man would be intellectual, and the development of his intellect

would be equal to his health protection. Today mankind is unhealthy and, not so

much because of the presence of all kinds of diseases in every person, both genetic

and acquired ones, but because of intellectual misery. It can be very well seen in

the false knowledge, superstitions, belief in a non-existent god, demons, etc., in the

low level of morality. It is in this quality that the majority of mankind is living,


23/35

23

doing harm to the Earth, the Space more than the unconscious animal world.

Worse than that: man, having penetrated into the depth of physical and biological

matter, has created everything for the elimination of life and the Earth itself. He

perverted his own civilization to such an extent that he cannot tear himself

completely from the rest of the animal world by ripening to the level of man-

demiurge.

I do not exclude the possibility of mankind being late for turning its

civilization to the democratic way of development. As an example of such lateness

I take the present-day situation in Russia. Populated by European peoples on a

huge territory of two parts of the world, having given the world an example of

territorial, linguistic and cultural intermixture of peoples, she could not come out

of the feudal way of life, its foundations, having consolidated it by the vertical ofpower of the state bureaucracy. The age-old claim of exclusiveness in the way of

living has led to such backwardness in everything, especially from the standards of

world economy, which will hardly be overcome by the present integration into the

World Trade Organization. The train has left and it left long ago. To achieve

elementary competitiveness in world economy, the measures will be required that

are not socially acceptable. The country has found herself in the position of a

hapless duck in a swamp, which tries to get out of it, but taking out by great effort

its head, it gets deeper with its tail, and taking it out, it gets bogged down with itshead, and does so to the end of its life.

Earlier (before perestroika) Russian power claimed world supremacy, and

now participation in world affairs on equal terms with the United States and

Western Europe. It tries by supporting reactionary regimes and great expenses on

armaments to keep its (super-power) head above water. There is a very wise

Russian proverb about this type of people it sounds utterly rude in Russian, but

its English equivalent is rather neutral: He wants to eat the cake and have it.

Nobody has ever managed to do it. In such aspirations, the USSR lost half of the

country. The remains of Russia may tell the other states (those that have survived)

to live long.

In the meantime our nearest neighbor, the European Union has united the

peoples that have started solving the problem of the sources of their self-


24/35

24

development. Cooperation of the peoples began in very important spheres of life,

and though they have not reached the social-economic sphere yet, they have not

missed the financial sphere. And, what is most important to us, the European

Union is trying to organize itself politically on the basis of federalism, which will

sooner or later become federalism of national-cultural autonomies because it is

impossible to stop the intermixture of nationalities. Success in this direction would

inevitably set an example to everybody. Russia, losing the moment of political

construction on the named principles, disintegrated (partly), and there is no sense

in waiting for her next (final!) disintegration.

***

Mankind has lost its way. Probably, only some parts of it, like Russia, for

instance (and the like!). Once, and for all! The world-famous artist, our country-

man Mikhail Shemyakin living in France now, says with bitterness: The saddest

thing in Russian life for me today is the absence of faith in anything good and

bright; people are living mechanically, as if they were not on their own planet.

Earlier we lived under Communists, and now we are living under oligarchs and

security and police forces. Nothing has changed: as Russians were rightless before,

so they are rightless now. Why should they do anything good?

Now, every day you pronounce like incantation the words about the struggleagainst corruption. But in reality there is no struggle at all, only a show

14.

And still, and still, I will say to you, before I go, those were the words

from a song of our unforgettable singer of Russian sorrow and. Who knows?

Maybe, of our Russian joy some day.

The salvation of mankind. Its eternal stay on the Earth is possible. But only,

if the intellect of every man is mobilized. The multi-billion intellect will solve all

of its problems, and their solution lies in the golden deposit of the Universal

wisdom, but not in the artificial false truths told by all kinds of teachings and

religions. The great Chinese thinker Confucius remarked: I impart, not create; I

believe in antiquity and love it15

. I think that this maxim is directly connected

with Universal wisdom, obtained from historical experience. There is no need to

invent different projects of the transformation of society or the world in general,

which are not based on what has already been affirmed in life or existed at one

time but was rejected, as it happened in Russia in the October revolution that

created a state which ruled out private-ownership relations from life-activities. It

tried to build on its basis a socialist society denying capitalism. In connection with

the untimely death of Lenin Russian people could not find their own Bismarck

capable of warning about the danger of the non-realization of Lenins change of

the whole point of view on socialism. So Lenin became a hostage of that

artificial false concept of the development of mankind. Now history reaps its bitter

fruit, the worst part of it being the mutilated life of the Russian people. It cannot be

worse, for it is but one step from falling out of History. Meanwhile, capitalism in

other countries, developing on its natural basis has become democratic in the most

advanced part of the world, though with excessive luxury and excessive poverty

for some categories of the population. Now there is a prospect of its transition to

the final stage of development of the civilization of owners to peoples

capitalism, started by Lenin and his New Economic Policy of the 20s of the past

century, interrupted by his unlucky inheritors. It will be peoples capitalism with

the sources of self-development for every man. My thoughts about the sources of

self-development are not an invention, because man has always acted in

accordance with real sources of self-development, which were unfortunately

limited for the majority of people because of the civilization corrupted by the

division of the population into common people and the elite. Having written

articles I transmitted them to society. The transmitter Newton, like many other

discoverers of the motion of matter did not create them, but having cognized them,

they transmitted them from the world of matter into the spiritual world of humans.

That is what one ought to understand, take it as a guiding principle, and

continue his existence. No other choice is given. I do not mean given by God; it is

15. . . . 2012. . 4.


26/35

not programmed by the development of substance. Substance is a demiurge. Both

physical and social matters develop spontaneously in accordance with their sources

of development: man only has to catch (cognize) the main tendency of the

movement of life and support it. It is difficult for man-creator to agree with that a

spontaneous habit to measure another's corn by one's own bushel: if it is not he

who is the author of this creation, then it must be someone else. And, for want of

an evident creator, he proclaims god to be one, a thing easily understood by a

non-creative intellect peculiar of the absolute majority of people. That is an

absurdity the generally acceptable way of thinking with which it is time for

mankind to do away!

Man is the only subject in the creation who owes the preservation of his

species on the Earth to himself, and above all to his intellect. His existence takesplace in the process of obtaining the means of existence the sources of self-

development.

In the civilization, in which he is destined to live, the development of human

intellect on a mass scale, initially and to this day, has been effected in the market

relations of ownership, the subjects of which are in competition and, at the same

time, in cooperation with one another. It is not accidental: peoples who affirmed

market relations earlier than the others are now in the vanguard of all mankind,

literally in all spheres of life of socium. I stress: in the role of the subject of the

market, not only the object like all proletarians, whose intellectual development is

miserable. Man can only play this role if he becomes the owner of the property that

brings income. It is question of the involvement of common people into intellectual

development common people without any talents; their development goes on in a

different way - by teaching and books, but not without participation of ownership

either. This category of people works day and night, giving their brains no rest.

Such people are not numerous, and the results of their investigations, as the age-old

practice shows, are not sufficient to give answers to the challenges of Nature and

History, in particular, to rebuff the attacks of the top part of ignorance represented

by innumerable confessions. It so happened that mankind found itself in

intellectual misery. This is just the case marked by peoples wisdom: Two heads

are better than one. Quantity transforms into quality.


27/35

27

Mankind is intellectually insufficient. The first source of self-development

of man is his intellect, responsible for the existence of not only his own species,

but for keeping his home the planet Earth in due form. Today the intellect of the

absolute majority of mankind is working for survival: when a mans life is at stake,

he does not think of where hes going to spend his next weekend. A man who can

hardly make ends meet never thinks of things other than those that are absolutely

necessary for life. High problems, whether they are of physical or spiritual

quality (sociology, philosophy, literature and art) are for a narrow circle of people

called intellectuals. They penetrate into the depth of substance discovering what is

necessary for human existence, and casually, but sometimes on purpose, they

search for something that can reduce mankind up to its full destruction together

with the Earth. Nature retaliates these efforts of mankind by self-destruction,

destroying man, too. In a word, man has not enough intellect to answer the

challenges coming from the Depth of the Earth, the Ocean and the Space. It is

especially deplorable that there is no proper answer to the challenge of the social-

economic existence with its crises, unemployment and conflict processes. The

absolute majority of mankind lives in strain, hardly making both ends meet, and

dies early. Life is the gift of happiness to every living thing, and to man, who is

conscious of it. And what about the majority which lives unhappily? There is

everything on the Earth to make every man happy, and it is the task of society to

do it. Collective, pan-human intellect is required to answer all those challenges. I

am convinced: there is no task that human intellect cannot fulfill!

Most unfortunately, in the whole world in general and the more so in

Russia, the philosophical science including dialectics needs serious development16

.

Philosophy must answer the main question of human existence and preservation of

his species: Is there in the given society (class, institution, phenomenon, etc.) a

source of its self-development, or not? A mistake in the answer to it leads to a

collapse. It happened so to Soviet socialism, it happened so to perestroika, and the

16

To my mind, the situation is deteriorated by the fact that a dialectical talent is akin to any othertalent, with which nature endows individuals, for example, poetical or some artistic talent. The

knowledge of the laws of dialectics (of artistic creativity) does not give them an opportunity tobecome such talents. But it probably allows the members of society to know if the activities of

the Powers correspond to them.

28

present post-perestroika regime has the same tendency. None of them had a source

of self-development, and they did not have any self-sufficiency. As a result we

have what we have. For over two centuries Russia has been going down. The

disintegration of Russia suspended by Bolshevist dictatorship and continued at

present by Putin authoritarian regime, is still on the agenda. And it will be

continued by other Russian regions.

The so-called Izborsk Theses testify that it will definitely happen. They

were compiled by Sergey Chernyakhovski on the basis of the discussions that took

place in the town of Izborsk (2012) of the people who gathered there. They were

people of different tempers and views, from conservatives to Communists, from

radical oppositionists to mere loyalists, attached to different paradigms, different

methodologies and different postulates, convinced Orthodoxies and convincedatheists. They were all united by the recognition of the fact that the previous

formats of Russias development were exhausted17

. The term exhausted should

have been replaced by the phrase have led her to backwardness in all spheres of

life activity of society and lagging more than one century behind the world

standards (achievements). This mixed gathering of intellectuals agreed on a

number of contradicting one another principles (tasks), by which the state should

be guided in its activities. The most dangerous activists among them proclaimed:

We must admit openly that a third World War is approaching; The only reasonwhy it has not started yet is the Soviet thermo-nuclear potential still kept by

Russia, capable, like the American one, to destroy everything on the planet. But

within the framework of the inertial scenario, the USA during approximately ten

years will create a possibility of its neutralization, and then the world war will

become unavoidable. The possibility to avoid it lies in the preparedness of Russia

for a war on a new technological level. According to the old traditional habit to

seek the reason of her failures in the deeds of others, for Russia is always right18

: to

17. 18

Evidently, this trait in the peoples psychology, which is called the victorious Russian spirit

the absurd heritage from some extremely hard period of the beginning of Russia as a state.Unfortunately (for someone), and luckily, I am sure, for the overwhelming majority of the

Russian people, this heritage of the Russian spirit was wasted by stupid rulers, who hampered thecivilized development of the country, and it stopped working beginning from the Crimean war of

the 19th century. The Victory in the Second World War does not count, in the first place, because

29

effect retribution to the forces and groups in the world who are guilty in the

catastrophe in Russia and in the whole world. Russia has been trapped. If Russia

breaks out of this trap, it will break the whole world out of it. It is a direct

orientation on a destructive for the second time COLD WAR-2 with the whole

western world!!! Pursuing this policy, the goal is set at the same time before Russia

to become the best in the world to create the best production . (And all the

other things must be the best!). Affirm as the chief mental task becoming the best

in all spheres of life. Not a single word is said that all this should be realized by the

people who have sources of self-development at hand, but not by impoverished

hired slaves19

. Evidently pinning hopes upon the state? It would not be bad to

recall Lenins attempt to make people happy with the help of the state and his

maxim concerning bureaucracy. The most pernicious variant of events is not

excluded: defeat in a cold war is evident; the Putin administration will for some

time indulge in intimidation, and if it does not give desirable results, will try to use

suddenness. The other side will not be long to retaliate, and life on Earth will come

to an end. The Izborsk community is playing with fire!

The state governing of society, which in itself is illegitimate, is

supplemented by the scientifically ungrounded programs of the opposition, within

which the pigeons of the powers are luxuriating, entertaining the masses and

their lumpenizing groups by slogans of dubious character. In a word, Russia is

it is a victory with tears in her eyes (it was completed with irretrievable losses and broke thepeople physically. According to rumours, Stalin. during the celebrations of the Victory, said in a

narrow circle that the Russian people is worked out; in the second, that victory becamepossible thanks to the fact that the democratic non-communist world did not fight against the

Soviet Union more than that: it fought on his side and did not decidedly prevent him from thecreation of the world camp of Communism, which he, guided by a non-consistent theory of

Communism and trying to realize it, could not preserve (which happened after the West began tocounteract it). 19

All the malady of the Russian society began with the fantasies of the epyleptical F.Dostoyevsky who has decided that the materially impoverished Russia will save the rich but

spiritually decaying West from collapse. And that was the Russian idea, the so-called specialway of Russia. She is the Saviour of the world. Through the 20

thcentury the Russian people has

gone through all possible hardships, revolutions and wars, buy it has not changed the world, butonly corrupted and strained itself. The clever Russians must give up this phantasmagoria; they

must leave all the nations in peace (including the Tatar nation) and look exclusively afterthemselves. // . I (, 33(618), 13-19 2012 .).

governed by ignorance and criminality: the most dangerous crime against

humanity, which reduces man to the status of a speaking animal is the

deprivation of the sources of his self-development (self-sufficiency).

I proceed from the thesis that among sane people there are those who areendowed with some talent; but not all of them are required by time or revealed

because there are no appropriate conditions. As is seen from the situation in the

creation now, it will require all the capacity of human intellect. The problem is in

their revelation, development and usage. All the billions of intellects!

EXCLUDING THE VERTICALS!!! And, if it is not too late, and ifwe are not too

late, GO AHEAD, human intellect for the sake of BEING!

I will repeat myself: Russian people, having started to leave the totalitarian

system, have been returned to a feudal state, headed by a party with a false name, a

party of thieves, as it is called by the opposition, Yedinaya Rossiya. The unity

of a country takes place, when a people under horizontal links of its components,

grows up to a nation. It only happens in a democratic society, in which the

determining class is the middle class of owners, developing on the basis of natural

private property relations, but not on totalitarian ones, supported by the power state

capitalism, under which we are living.

Only those things live and develop, which have something natural as theirbasis, but not supported only by force, for they will eventually be removed by

force. And if there is a need today to realize and affirm, in the first place,

something about creation, it is about its spontaneous development as substance,

and the development of man on condition he has the sources of self-development,

and vice versa, about his under-development, if he has none. In my works of the

recent years I have tried to remind the intellectuals and politicians that in scientific

use there is Hegel-Lenin philosophical thesis (ignored by them) about internal

contradictions, generating self-development of all things. I applied it to man,pointing out specifically the sources of self-development, which are present now

and possible in market economy. Altogether they are a source of progress of

society and mankind in general if applied on a large scale.

Again in this country some representatives of other nationalities raise their

heads by proclaiming themselves to be more Russian than the Russians.

Unfortunately, there is no Lenin to oppose them: Lenin in his time warned about

the danger for the country of this kind of people (Ordzhonikidze, Stalin).

There are only two alternatives: either go on putting up with the corruption

of the civilization of owners in the up-market form in which mankind have been

living from times immemorial, being a source of tragedy for man, or transform our

civilization into a democratic one as the BASIC condition of the

HUMANIZATION of mankind. This will start a happy way of life without the

oppression of man by man, whose title as a full subject of development will sound

proud.

Mankind ought to have something calling it for a better future. The problem

becomes more acute now that mankind has entered an endless heat wave of crises.

It even seems, in spite of historical laws but according to the formula God loves

TRINITY, that the possibility of a hot Third World War is not excluded. I

considered the cold war to be the third world war, for democratic forces

managed to turn hot wars into cold ones. I am afraid, however, that there are still

forces (China, Russia, Iran, Syria), which can provoke a hot world war. Then, thecold war that took place in the 40s 80s of the 20

thcentury and, to some extent

the cold war beginning now, will in fact be considered to be a prelude to a Third

World War. As a result, half of mankind will perish.

Having put all the function of its salvation on some inexistent god, mankind

is now facing three types of catastrophes: FIRST social-economic, SECOND

ecological and THIRD geological-cosmic. It is hard to say which of them will

bury mankind, but most likely it will be the first one including all kinds of wars. It

is remarkable that in the solution (non-solution) of its problems lies the futurity

(will or will not take place) of the second and third variants, i.e. the solution of the

problems of the first type will help the solution of the problems of the second and

third types. In the long run the human factor will be a decisive one, the use of the

intellect of the multi-billion mankind, which is only possible when the concept of


32/35

32

the co-ownership of many people in the national wealth and in the worlds wealth

is realized and completed by the prosperity of the ownership relations on a

democratic basis. Of course, if it is not too late, if the train has not left. The

realization of the concept of co-ownership solves the following problems: 1) Gives

each man an external source of self-development, so it makes him an independent,

free man; 2) in the main for each man status of equality with all the other people,

he becomes equal in relation to all natural and historical wealth, forming the

psychology (conscience) of all-human unity of interests, banishing the present-day

selfish aspirations both of one man and some peoples, by the will of the fortune

gifted with more favorable conditions: natural riches (often poorly used or not used

at all!) or strength to insulate themselves from neighbors or exploit them; 3)

excludes from everybodys life the vicious circle of market relations; enrichment

of some people on account of the pauperization of others; 4) it excludes the

scourge of the modern times unemployment, allowing with the growth of labor

productivity to reduce not jobs as it is now, but the working hours of the workers,

increasing the time for sports, art and science; 5) distribution of property in the

masses and its cooperation allow to exclude financial crises and crises of

overproduction and say good-bye to the thievery, which is especially topical today:

the country is flooded by the total robbery of the state, headed by state officials of

the highest rank; the situation in the country is shameful, for it is packed with

thieves. It must be understood, that the people has become thievish because of its

eternal lack of ownership: the history of man, his society and social development

have made him an owner, if not in reality, but at least in his desire not excluded,

since some time, kind of genetically: ownership, as a source of life, organizes

man (depending on the degree of his passionarism and cultural and moral level)

those who have it will try to save and increase it, and those who have not, will try

to obtain it by this or that means; 6) make wars of all hypostases impossible 7)

makes possible the solution of ecological problems; 8) creates all the necessary

conditions for intellectual breakthrough and answer the challenges of Nature (the

depths of the Earth, Ocean and Space) and History. In particular, accepting the

sociological THEORY OF COOPERATION as a guiding principle. At present,

mankind has begun cooperating regionally and even on the world scale on the

problems: ecological, general security, trade, customs, migration, currency. Next is


33/35

33

the social-economic cooperation with the purpose of granting an acceptable level

of well-being to all mankind, to each man on the basis of the worlds wealth,

uniting the national wealth of peoples. The destiny and happiness of mankind is in

the realization: from step to step, highward and broadwise of the Theory of

Cooperation! Mankind, having come to agreement with the main principle of

organization of all creation, by cooperating all and sundry will grow to its own

identity. Thus, mankind will approach the social perfection, which is the analogue

of inner perfection of Mother-Nature who has created it. The development of the

natural-instinctive is peculiar of all living things, in this case of the subject

endowed with intellect, i.e. thanks to the latter. And, maybe the greatest mission of

the UN consists in initiating of the beginning of world cooperation on the basis of

the latest intellectual achievements on the problems of social development. It is

only this organization that can solve the problem of disunity of mankind in all of

its components: the alienation of man from his own self (direct or hired slavery),

from his own like in his society (nation), and then in other societies (nations,

states). Every man turns in his mentality, concern in the well-being of his nourisher

the whole Planet and all her people into a CITIZEN OF THE WORLD with

intellect-morality on the one hand, and a citizen protected by all mankind, rid of

the lawlessness of sovereign states on the other. (There is no need to remind that

the problem of alienation (and slavery, too) is particularly topical for atomized

post-soviet societies with the majority of proletarian population in them.). 9) One

more real utopia: the realization of the concept of co-ownership would accelerate

the wholesome change of patriarchal mankind to matriarchy. At least because the

factual equality of sexes in the possession of all sources of social-economic self-

development the abolition of the economic dependence of women on men (being

already practiced due to the need for women by the market, in many cases as a

must).

7. The Truth of TruthsIt is high time for mankind to be aware that from the very start it was

programmed to live on the Planet Earth in the civilization of owners. It sohappened in history that since some times the latter has formed as one for elite.

The task is to change it into a democratic civilization. So the FUTURE of mankind

is in its past, in the return in civilized development to the beginning, but on a

higher level. That, as experience started in Western Europe and North America

shows, will be gradual.

A people (any!), having realized with the sources of self-development of

every man, sufficient for sponsoring his and his societys existence, will become

absolutely invincible. In conformity with the law of the majorat of the best in

everything including social-economic development, it will become a sample, and

other peoples will follow its example. Eventually it will be at the head of mankind,

and it will take up the role of the SAVIOUR of itself and its home the planet

Earth.

The place of the Messiah is vacant. So far. (WE WOULD VERY MUCH

LIKE TO SEE IN THIS ROLE A PEOPLE OF HIGH CULTURE AND

DEMOCRATIC WORLD OUTLOOK).

Mankind is in the need of an intellectual breakthrough. I, after Albert

Camus, suggest one of its variants: the idea of transferring the civilization of

owners from the elite stage to the democratic one with self-sufficient people, with


35/35

sources of self-development, giving every man the possibility of self-realization as

a humane, in the full sense of this word human.
