that the third monster grew. This monster is now in control of everything. Most importantly, submission to the third monster is completely voluntary. Only people are forced into some kind of isolation.

      Throughout the 20th century, the most radical struggle was waged against tradition and the traditional family in particular. Only in the U.S.S.R. and in Germany did market progress and universal freedom receive a total response at the state level. It was a struggle for old and new traditions.

      All traditions today have become anachronisms.

      HOW TO MAKE A CAREER

      «Where the triumphant mediocrity, to power always come black».

      Strugatsky Brothers

      Who they choose and why (negative selection).

      Command and administrative style.

      What is everyone knows about the command and administrative style of leadership?

      Where did it come from? Where does the philosophy of totalitarianism grow from?

      Soviet people do not need to explain. All of them lived under the command-administrative system, often called socialism, these words are sometimes uttered together, sometimes alone, but this does not change the essence. This is a style or organization where the non-initiative majority, you can call this majority the people, society, brigade or collective farm is subordinate to the head – the chiefs of different levels and caliber- from the General Secretary General, director to ordinary caretakers. When the chief-the head of a smaller type of Director or foreman comes and tells everyone the will (plan, instructions) of the Secretar, and the Secretar tells the will of the General Secretar. And everyone starts working together to solve this will-plan depending on the number of employees. The proletarians, workers, and collective farmers are working, therefore, fulfilling the plan – will, the whole country is fulfilling, straining or pretending. Agitators discuss the need and importance at fiery or hypocritically pretentious gathering, or just formal and tedious, depending on what experience, meetings, workers shed three buckets of sweat and can also pretend that they automatically go to work every day, which does not exempt anyone from responsibility.

      Let’s assume one option from the early versions, when the responsibility was not only moral: the head of the correctional labor camp for the enemies of the people comes out and informs: «Today, the plan increases by 5 percent. Every day now you will give 5% more.» The prisoners are silent. «Any questions?», – asks the head of the camp. «No question». Escort! Here from the gloomy, impersonal, gray, melancholy crowd: «Chief, will be increased the ration of bread?». The Chief of camp snapped to voice: «Who said that? «One step forward!»

      Of course, no one will take any steps. If the boss doesn’t insist. Here is a grotesque version of the command-administrative extreme: I am the boss – you are a fool, and the conditional fool was not given a word. Everyone who has learned from their life experience knows that in such a system, initiative is punishable, it it looks almost as impertinence. It is better to mix with the crowd and then the bosses not will take revenge And the boss will certainly want to win back, to show others. To beat squirt, so that others be afraid. In the camp, the camp commander may appoint the punishment, the carcer, among free citizens the head will just lift the Braves to laugh or try to do it, to show who’s boss.

      Why do people say keep quiet.

      You can pass for a smart guy or a quiet calf sucking two cows. But in fact. And this is not a simple retelling of popular wisdom. This is a welcome paradigm of communication from top to bottom. It’s a tradition. A quiet heifer or the son of a strict father actually has a lot of things, a bowl of soup, but most importantly-a greater chance of inheritance than a the obstinate or a man with a strong character. Traditional father and parents don’t like proud sons. They love compliant, obedient, maybe even cunning sons. Such a quiet little son will surely increase the family’s capital. And the rebel will spend everything on empty fantasies or just drink it up as wine. Idealists, romantics and dreamers on the farm to anything.

      At the top, there is exactly the same personnel policy.

      The system is looking for heifers, sly, obedient, hypocritical, but not contradicting the authorities, and pleasing – honoring. Humble sons honor anyone, even an unworthy father. They don’t care what their father is, he’s their father and that’s it. Even if he is a nonentity, a thief or some other moral violator, the main thing is that he bequeaths business and good. Exactly the same personnel policy in power. One in one. And careerists do not care what kind of power, even if it is total, even if it is administrative and command. Even if it is corrupt-stealing, rotten, immoral-at least some. The main thing is that she will let in the coffers of the state as her father’s inheritance. Well, does not the command and administrative power want the sons to be truly submissive and Executive? That’s why bosses don’t care that their subordinates are careerists and sycophants and that they lie. They themselves once adapted to be stroked by their fathers. What is down in traditional families, what is in power, the picture does not change.

      The provincial government is gaining the provincials.

      In this system there is a counter-evolutionary selection.

      Negative selection. Provincials are not the front of society, they are its backside. Middle-class fathers and party secretaries choose identical heifers in their own image and likeness. Hence this system of stagnation and decay. An ovin is being built in the center of the state. The system of adaptors has no other morality or ideology than the traditional one, which is the traditional morality of survival. Therefore, in the center is built an Ovine or corral for a cow. Only the application system is good for peacetime and then not for very long. As soon as there is a danger, the owner’s people go to the woods or move to the steppe – you do not touch me, I you. In the meantime, I’ll sit out until better times come. Bad boys give way to others for the feat. Why risk. At the moment of force majeure, all potential adaptors hide not only themselves and good, but also their smiles. The life-loving, radiant smiles disappear behind the lips. They don’t just suck their tongues, they just clap their lips in silence. And their antipodes, the adventurers and scoundrels, come on the scene. And they start. If of course the risk is not great again, then it will certainly be crooks. If the risk is limited, then the scoundrels will be behind the bushes with their life-loving adaptable brothers. This is more suitable for the heroism of modern Maidan, when the crowd can be controlled like a herd of greedy, selfish animals.

      Scoundrels and cynics this is a new version of a quiet heifer for the time being. They know that they will still win at the finish line when the chip is right. And suckers voters will bring their own pennies, not their poor fathers. The enraged citizens will bring it themselves, because they will no longer recognize meek and comfortable rulers.

      But when do the real characters come on stage?

      This is when from any situation senior-junior son, father-son, boss-fool there is no benefit to look faithfully in the mouth. At the same time, there is no profit in deceiving the maddened and embittered crowd of the so-called electorate, which has been changed many times for affection from the next boss by the most docile heifers of the proteges. Moreover, the same active or creative new heifers know perfectly well what the maddened and brutalized electorate wants. He’s not looking for any justice. He wanted to be humble himself. But he was cheated and robbed. Everyone wanted to.

      This is the culture.

      In the traditional system, regardless of the existing ideology, the authorities themselves choose the most docile and comfortable heifers. At the same time, the people pretend to be submissive to the point of stupidity, because in the traditional system, this is the only way to make a career. Regardless of ideology! It’s just the fashion to talk about socialism at first. Or
