Nowadays, the absence of any moral and ethical restrictions is often perceived as genuine freedom and democracy.

In such conditions, the only criterion that determines the relationship between a person and the world around him becomes his own convenience, and any attempt to offer or recommend to him some measures to limit his own personal “field” or at least control it is perceived as an attempt to attack his freedom and sense of self. .

All moral judgments are value judgments, that all value judgments are subjective and that none of them can prove in any way whether anything is right or wrong. I even read somewhere that the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court wrote that the American Constitution expresses nothing more than collective value judgments. Lively or not, I found out directly for myself - which obviously the Chief Justice could not find out for himself - that if the rationality of value judgments were zero multiplied by millions, it would not provide one iota more explanation. Nor is there any reason to obey the law for anyone, such as myself, who is brave and has the strength to throw off its shackles. I discovered that in order to become truly free, truly liberated, I had to become truly free. And, I quickly discovered that the biggest obstacle to my freedom, the biggest block and limitation to it was the intolerable value judgments that I had to respect the rights of others. I asked myself who are these others and where are they?

And here is the most important question, think about it, who forces us to respect the rights of others?
The answer is simple, this is pure state-ideological policy of public formation!
Is it good or bad? But there is no general answer. Good for Uncle Vasya. For me it's bad. For the state - good. For theoretical physics - bad. This is the natural work of the state to strengthen itself.

Now think about it, moral and ethical restrictions are imposed on us, I mean take away our freedom?!

The idea is simple: the system controls you as long as you are the same. But if everyone starts to think outside the mold, the system will not have enough hands, methods, or rules to spank everyone!

You are torn between the romance of confrontation and the desire to adapt and survive. But attention! The highest and most elusive rebellion is just the ability to remain yourself in any situation and proudly carry your “I” like a banner. And this is not at all about a sense of self-importance. You can remain big and free even when you are small...

What does it mean to be against the system? How many people are now throwing out anti-system slogans, how many people are taking a position against the system, without even understanding what the System is that they so vehemently oppose. In most cases, all these slogans and anti-system sentiments are caused only by pathos, games, youthful maximalism and do not carry any really sensible ideas or understanding of the essence of the issue. For such people, it doesn’t matter who to fight, the main thing is to throw out their excess energy against some enemy, and in this case this enemy is this System.

But you shouldn’t think that in this article I’m trying to expose the desire to be against the System. Not at all. I already have an article in which I described my vision for leaving the System, but I didn’t bother to show my vision for the System itself.
What is a system? There are a huge number of systems, there are even special sciences like systems methodology that study the world using systems. That is, roughly speaking, our entire world consists of systems and not all of them are harmful - many are necessary for our life.

Now let’s figure out what kind of System this is, which many are so opposed to, and which your humble servant is also against...

The system is financial-oligarchic, or, in other words, “dictatorship of the oligarchy.” It is important to note that the dictatorship is not specifically of the bourgeoisie as a class, but rather of the stratum of the most successful representatives of the bourgeoisie - the oligarchs. Money itself is something neutral and, contrary to popular belief, does not carry a negative or even evil load. Money is simply a tool to help people's economic systems interact. Those. money is the equivalent of a commodity.

But everything is so good only in ideal conditions. The vulnerability of this system, along with human greed, ultimately turned money into a tool that does not help people, but, on the contrary, makes them slaves. Those. whoever controls money controls the economy, and, therefore, the will of the people. Due to various political events and situations of past years, humanity as a whole has become so dependent on money that now we can safely mention the slave system. Only before were slaves openly slaves, i.e. they worked for their master, subordinated their will to their master, receiving in return only what was necessary for life (roughly speaking, their rations, so as not to die of hunger). But the modern slave system is much more complex and confusing. Now you can’t just go and be a slave owner, so all sorts of tricks are needed.

In order for a person not to feel like a slave, but to feel free, a perverted understanding of freedom is instilled in him from childhood. As a result, a person is a slave - and at the same time feels free. You will say that you do not agree with me and that you do not consider yourself a slave, well then let’s figure out why you are wrong...

Let's compare our two contemporaries, i.e. two people living today. One is a modern civilized man, the other is a tribal dweller living in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Every person has natural, physiological needs: eating, drinking water, etc. Those. those without which a person will die. Now let's see how these people satisfy these needs. Every day a Papuan goes hunting in the forest in which he lives, gets food and, in fact, eats. Those. the satisfaction of his needs depends on the forest, on nature. He lives right in the forest, does not need any benefits of modern civilization, everything he needs is given by nature simply by default. And a resident of civilization, in order to satisfy his needs, is forced to get a job, work in order to earn money, with which he needs to go to the store and buy some kind of food there (and I won’t even say what this food is made of). Those. Instead of immediately getting food for oneself, a person is forced to participate in intermediate stages of production, i.e. work and money. And if he does not participate in these stages, then he simply will not receive food and will not satisfy his natural need for nutrition. This means that a person is forced to participate in these stages. And even if he wants not to participate in them and tries to immediately get food for himself, he will not succeed in the city (digging through garbage dumps does not count), because in the urban environment there is no food, which is in the wild stage. Well, if you only catch pigeons.

In an urban environment, a person who has lost these intermediate stages becomes a homeless person, when, as a resident of the jungle, one cannot be called such, because he is in a familiar and natural environment for himself, at home. And the city homeless man was previously a civilized resident, but fate played a cruel joke on him and drove him to extinction. In order to somehow exist, i.e. speaking not about any unnecessary comfort, but about the necessary conditions, a person must pay for utilities, i.e. if, for example, he wants not to pay so much money for heating in the winter, but to heat with wood, then he simply will not have this opportunity due to the design features of his living space. Well, you can’t stupidly burn wood in your apartment, right? And for some, it may be easier to stock up on firewood rather than pay for heating.

Papuan children look at the bourgeoisie with contempt...

Many people misunderstand the attempt to leave the System, to free themselves from it. And they interpret the way out as complete liberation from everything, they go to extremes, without trying to understand the essence of the issue. But liberation from everything also means liberation from one’s body, which means it is suicide, the desire for one’s own death. A person does not want to identify himself with anything, he is dissatisfied with everything and, according to this logic, if we continue further, such liberation will lead to death. But if you strive for death, then why live at all and do anything, undertake anything, you can simply exist in the same way and then you will die anyway. Therefore, such an understanding of leaving the system only leads to regression, to a fall. If you imagine the entire universe as a circle, then in this circle there will be many more different circles - small systems in one large system. And if a person theoretically gets rid of all these small systems, then he still will not be able to get rid of the big one, therefore such an aspiration is doomed to failure in advance and is nothing more than stupidity and nonsense, not worthy of any attention at all and not even a paragraph in this article... Therefore, you should not jump over your head, because those born to crawl cannot fly! You need to assess your chances realistically, without rose-colored glasses.

So, we are not talking about complete, absolute freedom, we are talking about liberation only from this arrogant and unscrupulous slavery. In general, this slavery is more of an ethical nature, since in order to maintain life, in any case, you need to take some kind of effort, some actions, so the difference between these actions is due only to ethics. And those who say that they are satisfied with such slavery and that they like its fruits are right, since everyone has their own tastes. But then let them not complain about why everything is so bad. It seems like we have everything, and are fed, and dressed, but it sucks...

Now what do the oligarchs have to do with it? It seems like, well, they are rich, but what does it matter to us, we don’t count other people’s money. That’s right, we don’t count other people’s money, earned honestly, because it’s unethical. But when money is made out of thin air, that’s a completely different question. If a person has, for example, a billion units of money, then, therefore, he had to exchange goods for an equivalent amount for them. And in order to exchange a product, you need to get it somehow, i.e. produce, grow, etc. The point is that in order to earn a billion units of money (meaning some large amount), you need to make a lot of effort, which is almost impossible in an honest way, due to the low cost of the goods. Or it’s big, but there’s less product. This means that by somehow receiving these enormous amounts of money, people simply undermine the economy, making money out of thin air, when money becomes a commodity and is bought and sold in the same way. When a person speculates with money (Forex), he earns money without selling or producing any goods, receiving money from nothing, taking the difference in exchange rates. The fact that money has become a commodity has played a big cruel joke on us. As a result, a bunch of very cunning people were able to get rich using this loophole, and others became forced to depend on it.

Why did the Bolsheviks dislike the bourgeoisie so much? The bourgeois earns much more money than he puts into it. That is, to put it in very simple terms, the bourgeoisie lies at the resort, sipping juice, while his capital (means of production, workers, assets) brings him profit. The bourgeois is resting, and at this time the money falls into his account, the bourgeois is awake - and the money falls in the same way. Supporters of the ideas of Marx and Lenin would consider this kind of earnings outrageous and unacceptable in the new (at that time) society. They believed that every person should have as much money as he actually earned through his labor.

This is the key to understanding modern slavery. Dictatorship of the bourgeois class.

"Every state is a dictatorship of the ruling class."

“Right is the will of the ruling class elevated to law.”

Those. all laws, the entire legal framework are created for the sake of the ruling class. Not for ordinary citizens, but for those who currently dominate. A striking example in the Russian Federation is the Privatization Law in the 90s, adopted by representatives of the bourgeoisie, who were gaining momentum. If in the Union the ruling class was the proletariat, i.e. the working class and the entire legal framework were created for it (well, in theory so), and right up to 61 everything continued like this, until at the 22nd Congress they removed “Dictatorship of the Proletariat” from the party program. Those. the state ceased to be proletarian, and a gradual transition stage from communism (more precisely, its initial stage) to capitalism began. Those. from the dictatorship of the working class to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, which is what we have now.

So, the system that we are trying to fight against is a set of actions, laws, paradigms adopted by the bourgeois class, or more precisely, by its “best” representatives - the oligarchs. If democracy is the rule of the majority, anarchy is the absence of any pronounced political power, then oligarchy is the rule of the rich. Those. whoever has more money rules. "He who pays calls the tune." Those. the power is not the best, the power is not the most gifted, talented and intelligent, but the power of those who managed to grab a lot of money in their time. The power of cunning and vile, vile and inhuman creatures, whom one cannot dare to call people - rather, just biomass, which they dare to consider many of us to be (it even turned out to rhyme).

How to fight against the system? According to the principle “for every action there is a reaction.” You need to fight against the system with another system. Those. create a new system that will not be within the framework of the previous one. How to create another system? Yes, it has already been created. To fight the tools that keep a person in the system, you need to get rid of them, since it’s good that there is no physical coercion, as was the case in the times of the pharaohs, for example. Now the emphasis is on people's consciousness rather than physically coercing them. People themselves become slaves, or rather, continue to be slaves and do not want to change anything. This means that in order to avoid these instruments of coercion, you can get away from them. Populate extinct villages and create new settlements. . Strive for maximum autonomy and independence from the previous civilization. Create your own small systems, your own societies, strong and indestructible, with your own ideals (it doesn’t even matter what). As a result, these systems will form one large system or a set of systems, which will become at least some kind of opposition to the previous System. The more people leave that System, the smaller and weaker it will be, and, therefore, the counter-system will be stronger. We must act in exactly the same way as these oligarchs act. If someone has increased, it means that someone else has decreased; if someone has found, it means that someone has lost. Their own weapon, against themselves. The fewer workers the bourgeoisie has, the less surplus value (profit) he will receive and the poorer he will be. This will be a kind of rebellion and an act of disobedience to their slave owners. Remember how Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi acted in an attempt to get rid of the British yoke in India. They stopped buying British clothes, stopped buying British salt and began to produce their own, much cheaper. This means that these methods work, and at the same time there is no need to kill anyone. It’s the same here, there’s no need to buy oligarchic products when we can produce our own, mine and grow them.

But the main thing, I think, is to realize this. If a person understands how this System works, then consider him to have already passed halfway, the only question is that these are the easiest halfway... And it is not at all necessary to jump on the streets, participate in rallies, set up pretentious avatars and statuses in social networks networks - you just need to get down to business, guys. To get rid of the System, you first need to get out of it, and not flounder like a turtle while in it...

Tired of the system, from falsehood and lies? Welcome to the homeless! In fact, it's not all that sad. I know, I know, a remedy that will help log out and not become homeless, like hundreds of other losers.

First, let's look at what the System is and why go against it. A system is a set of social rules to which every person is subject, to a greater or lesser extent.

It is thanks to the system that you don’t do what you want, but go to the office every day and be stupid there for 8 hours a day, instead of... Well, this “so” is different for everyone, write it down in your head.

It is thanks to the System that after watching movies and believing in them, you pretend to be a sex giant or a porn star and cry about your non-existent centimeters, instead of just having sex with whoever and whenever you want.

It is thanks to the system that you do not live your own life, but work out the pre-written scenarios of someone else’s life. You were taught well how to live, right? These Very Authoritative People, they are such people...

How does the System manage to deceive you, so smart (albeit) like this? Yes, you know it yourself. You have been told about who you are since childhood:

Of course, you didn't want to believe it. But what a deception! Since it’s true about chloroplasts and the capital of Great Britain, that means... But you still smelled the deception. This is right. Because it doesn't matter. It’s okay to play by someone else’s rules. And you decided go against the system . This is where the catch lies. You see when you walk against the system, then you only strengthen it. The system cannot exist without rebels, just as black cannot exist without white. How it works?

Where is the set of rules by which the system forces you to work? That's right, in your head. It doesn’t matter how they got there, but now these rules are there, without a market. And when you go against the System, the first thing you need is the very existence of the rules of the system in your head, otherwise how will you build your counter-rules? And as a result, rebelling against the system, you do not leave the system at all, but only confirm the existence of its rules, whether you agree with them or not, and thereby strengthen the system. Gloomy picture, huh?

In short, to part with rules of the System, you need to take them out of your consciousness. You can’t instantly forget them (well, some people do it with vodka, etc., but that’s kind of stupid, and then vodka is also part of the system), but you can make the rules stop mattering to you. When the rules of the system turn into a dry list, not charged with emotions (and the rules have power over you only when they are important to you for some reason), then you will part with the system, the only way you can truly go against the system and get out of it.

How to deprive the rules of the system of power over you? This is exactly what is discussed in the book “Turbo-Gopher. How to stop fucking your brains out and start living." The book describes in detail all the mechanisms by which the system works, and a simple but very effective way to screw it up.

Another myth of our time, invented by marketers to promote a particular product. He grew up on the basis of the romantic ideas of the beatniks of the 1940s, and then the hippies of the 1970s. Reflected in many works of art, take “The Wall” for example. It is implied that in the world there is a certain “gray mass” of “office plankton”, “cattle” - a “crowd” that lives by animal instincts and does not strive for anything sublime, spending their lives stupidly in consumption, boring “work” that no one needs and "cattle vacation". Of course, it is used by the “oligarchy” and the “police state” (no matter what) as a source of money and a stronghold of their throne. All this is a “system”. Which every self-respecting teenager should fight. This myth is supported in our time by a large number of columnists and interior designers, CEOs of SMM startups and food photographers. They usually “go against the system” in their posts on social networks, where they write that the “system” is bad and that they are going against it.

Modern icons of “campaigns against the system”, speaking with their sermons of “another life”, for some reason do not give up bank accounts, using shops, registering their property and passports with the state, PR in regular media, conducting their transactions in the jurisdiction of courts and arbitration courts - and even from mainstream posing with successfully toned biceps, rubbed in advance with trendy eco-friendly oil)) The real walkers “against the system” are homeless people and repeat offenders. Everything else is just another simulacrum, calling from the TV screen to “fight the system” by downloading a new fashionable application for only 9.99 and getting a special bandana to fight the system for 4.99.

There is such a phenomenon among women (there is no sexism here, it’s just a psychological phenomenon, they themselves are not aware of it). After many years of using the accounts, support, roof and protection of one or several men (incidents of Volochkova, Saltykova, Khromchenko, Rudkovskaya, and Monroe, Winehouse, Gaga, in general, every second one) - they are really confident that they have “made themselves” and they don’t really correlate one with the other, considering everything their own personal achievement. This is not bad or good, it just is, and it cannot be changed, which means it must be accepted. Wow. Exactly the same psychological blinders prevent any person from communicating with any clerk, any loader and any gopnik in order to understand that there is no “gray mass”, that everyone is individual and sometimes hides such depths and heights from an inattentive glance, such activities, thoughts and hobbies, - that you're rocking. In other words, there is no “gray mass”. And the “system” is a set of objective economic and political conditions, fighting which is the same as fighting the body’s desire to eat, sleep and defecate (these needs also limit our freedom and offend our high feelings). And “fighters against the system” are simply shooter players without a grid, with a computer or with themselves.

As for the fact that there is no gray mass, I’m willing to bet. I myself encounter representatives of this same gray mass almost every day. Just yesterday I heard from a resident of my city that she was annoyed by a new sculptural composition depicting musicians installed in one of the squares of this very city. When I asked why, she answered: “Who needs this and why?” I said to her: “But it’s beautiful!”, and she: “What’s beautiful about this? It would be better if the money spent on this sculpture was given to single mothers!”

Of course, one can understand this woman. She is a single mother, and the state benefit is only enough for meager food (thanks to which she has very curvaceous figures), bills (for electricity and water, which are almost never turned off), cheap cigarettes (and she cannot afford Marlboro ), modest (by Israeli standards) clothes and the purchase for her daughter of not the most powerful and not the most advanced game console. This lady somehow tries not to think about going to work, at least part-time. Of course, who then will sit at home with her teenage girl and make sure that she does not smoke weed and does not make love with adult uncles of Arab origin, who elevate any fair-skinned Russian girl to the rank of a goddess just because her appearance is radically different from the appearance of the familiar their wives, burning brown-eyed brunettes, naively assuming that their husband was late at work or his car broke down on the way home.

So what kind of sculptures and sculptures are there, the poor single mother has no time for them, she would like to make ends meet and cover the “minus” in the bank. And at the same time wander around the shopping center and buy a lot of different kinds of trinkets, justifying this with chronic depression caused by the loss of the meaning of life and disorientation of the individual.

And if this is not a gray mass, then I simply don’t know what a “gray mass” is.

Sincerely,

Jan Albertovich Denenberg,

oooh, you know, these are favorite teenage fantasies)))
Although in general, you can indeed observe some people within rigid fixed boundaries who manage to rebel there.
and so, in general, the world is a diverse enough place that no one even needs to rebel.

You can always go there; your desire, if not approved, is at least not persecuted.

Naturally, there are always people who simply like to “rebel.”

People tend to think in a stereotyped way; labels are applied to all possible animate or inanimate objects of existence. Marketers are familiar with all sorts of techniques to influence the human psyche, but the truth is that every person is unique in some way, and under certain circumstances can stand out from the masses. So I completely agree with the author on this issue. I don’t know to what extent this can be called a specific ailment of modern times, because even in primitive tribes various kinds of rituals were carried out, and the roles intended for each member of the tribe inevitably lead to the creation of certain patterns.

Frederick Beigbeder wrote: “The system wins the moment it manages to make people love their prison.” Do we need to put up with the reality that is imposed by those in power? Can one person or group of people fight for freedom - and win?
AdMe.ru presents the best answers to these questions from famous writers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

1.”451° Fahrenheit” Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury's philosophical dystopia paints a hopeless picture of the development of post-industrial society; This is the world of the future, in which all written publications are mercilessly destroyed by a special detachment of firefighters, and the possession of books is prosecuted by law, interactive television successfully serves to fool everyone, punitive psychiatry decisively deals with rare dissidents, and an electric dog comes out to hunt for incorrigible dissidents...

3.”Ascetic Russia” Artem Senatorov/Oleg Logvinov

Education does not guarantee getting a job. Working does not guarantee money. Money does not guarantee enjoyment in life. In general, no one in this country guarantees you anything... For some this means hopelessness, but for others (maybe you?) it opens up endless possibilities...

4.”1984″ George Orwell

“What I have wanted most for the last ten years is to turn political writing into art,” Orwell said in 1946, and to this day his books and articles provide a compelling picture of what our world could become. Big Brother still doesn't close his eyes, and some equals are more equal than others...

5. “We” E. Zamyatin

In the twenty-sixth century, the inhabitants of Utopia have so lost their individuality that they are distinguished by numbers. They live in glass houses, which allows the political police, called "Guardians", to easily supervise them. Everyone wears the same uniform and usually addresses each other as “number so-and-so.” Now the United State has again given him happiness, depriving him of freedom.

6. “Fight Club” Chuck Palahniuk

An outstanding novel, a classic of world literature.

9. “Brave New World” Aldous Huxley

One of the most famous dystopian novels. A kind of antipode to Orwell's 1984. No torture chambers - everyone is happy and satisfied.
People are grown in embryonic factories and are divided in advance (by influencing the embryo) into five castes of different mental and physical abilities, which perform different jobs. From “alphas” - strong and beautiful intellectuals, existing in a single copy, to “epsilons” - semi-cretins who can only do the simplest physical work, cloned in batches...
