In the conversation, the expert stated that the main threat to Russia is the loss of sovereignty, traditional values ​​and civilizational code. The loss of sovereignty is manifested in the fact that we depend on Western banks and buy American bonds. Fursov’s lecture was devoted to the realities of capitalism, which invariably leads to crises. He appreciated the situation in Russia today – in his opinion, we are still “eating away” the legacy of the USSR, but in foreign policy there are already a number of steps towards independence:

“They are modest for now – this is Crimea, this is Syria. The steps are modest, but they are very different from how we surrendered our positions under the late Gorbachev and Yeltsin.”

In his lecture, Andrei Fursov tried to explain why it was the destruction of the USSR that became the trigger for the collapse of the capitalist system, which has nowhere else to spread. He spoke about the course “Three D” – deindustrialization, depopulation and derationalization of consciousness, which includes the environmental movement and the minority rights movement. He also explained how music was used to control large masses of people.

Crisis

The word “crisis” has become a code word for the modern era. We constantly talk about the crisis: about the financial crisis, about the education crisis, about the economic crisis. But it turns out that we have a crisis of everything. The crisis of everything is a systemic crisis. A crisis of what system? It is a crisis of modern society, a crisis of the market economy, a crisis of the industrial system. And at the same time we get by with one word – when we parted with Marxism after 1991, this word not only became indecent, not to mention abusive, but somehow it is avoided. The word is very simple – “capitalism”.

Unfortunately, since the late 1950s in the Soviet Union, capitalism has ceased to be seriously studied the way it was done in the Comintern times. In the late 1950s, we first began to translate Western communists, then leftists, then liberals, then we rolled down to neoliberals. And so they missed a whole series of important moments – they missed the formation of a new predatory faction of the bourgeoisie after the Second World War – the “corporatocracy”. The struggle between the corporatocracy and state-monopoly capital began in the West itself.

In the USA, this took a very acute form – it took the form of a creeping coup, which began with the assassination of Kennedy and the removal of Nixon as a result of impeachment, and by the mid-1970s the corporatocracy had firmly established itself in power. First, they brought a man unfit for power – Carter. But then Reagan came. And from that moment on, it was possible to launch a very serious offensive against the Soviet Union, especially since it had taken a defensive position – not a leap into the future, but a reaction to the situation. Especially since, apparently – this is my guess, I have no direct evidence – there was an exchange of a number of our technical areas in which we were ahead of the West. For example, in computer technology: The Politburo Resolution of 1968 and 1973 – that we will not develop computer technology – the subtext is “we will steal everything that is needed”. But at that moment we were ahead of the West by 10 years, and then we fell behind. What happened in exchange? In the late 60s, the projects of Soviet banks abroad began to become more active in the West. The transfer of funds from the nomenklatura to Western banks began. In other words, apparently, an “exchange” took place.

Capitalism is expansion

I do not agree with those who believe that the capitalist system is an absolute triumph. The capitalist system is a complex system that limits capital in its holistic and long-term interests, otherwise, if it is left to itself, it will eat itself, society and the biosphere. And secondly, it ensures expansion in space. That is, the capitalist system is what holds capital in space and time. When there is no space and time left, the capitalist system ceases to exist, but capital exists. They often say, well, why are you telling us again about the crisis of capitalism? They have been talking about the crisis of capitalism since Lenin, but capitalism still exists. Or, as our rebellious intelligentsia liked to say in Soviet times, returning from abroad, when asked “well, how is capitalism?” they answered: “It is rotting, but it smells great.” In fact, systems die longer than people. There are no eternal systems – systems are born, arise and die, and the crisis phase, the dying phase, lasts approximately 100-150 years.

Capitalism and anti-capitalism

By the end of the 19th century, there were more non-capitalist structures in the capitalist system than in the 16th and 17th centuries. In theory, it should be the other way around – capitalism created pre-capitalist forms on its own where it was not opposed by hired labor. For example, they came to the south of the United States when the USA did not yet exist, and to the Caribbean – they created plantation slavery there, which had not existed there before. They came to South America and created a quasi-feudal latifundium economy, they came to Bengal and created something like private property there, but without capitalism. Without capital. And it turns out that capitalism, unlike all social systems, creates other social systems on its own. This is the first thing. The second thing that is completely incomprehensible is that capitalism is the only system (I once wrote a lot about this in my work “The Bells of History”, 1996), which can exist with a “plus” sign and with a “minus” sign. And this “minus” is an indicator of the health of capitalism. “Minus” is systemic anti-capitalism, which Zinoviev called “real communism”, we call it socialism, the Soviet system, I prefer to talk about systemic anti-capitalism. That is, the “plus” sign and the “minus” sign.

Supranational groups for global coordination and management

There are two more things, two features of capitalism, which are very important for us now to understand the dynamics. First: under capitalism, supranational groups of global coordination and management arise – what Ivan Ilyin called “behind the scenes”, and what, as soon as you start talking about this, they brush it off as “ah… it’s a conspiracy theory”.

THE SECOND CIRCUIT OF POWER IN THE WEST AND CAPITALISM

There are all kinds of conspiracy theories. When you ask, “What do you mean by conspiracy theories?” a swim begins with cannonballs on their feet. Why should these groups exist under capitalism? The fact is that one of the basic contradictions of capitalism is that capitalism is an economically unified and integral world system, but politically it is a sum, not a whole. A sum of states – this has been the case since the Peace of Westphalia. The Westphalian system flowed into the Vienna, the Versailles, the Yalta. The Yalta did not grow into the Malta, but, for better or worse, the Westphalian system still exists in a broken form. And the world politically is still not a whole, but a sum. A contradiction arises at the level of politics-economics, state-capital, whole-sum. But the fact is that the bourgeoisie, especially the financial, especially the large one, has interests outside their states. And they can realize these interests only if they violate the laws of their state and a foreign state. The upper layer of the bourgeoisie has a historical need for organizations: a) supranational; b) closed (but not secret, then we would not know about them at all); c) long-term. At the moment when the bourgeoisie had this need at the end of the 17th, beginning of the 18th centuries, they did not have any of their own bourgeois structures. And then they – as the song goes “I molded him from what was” – began to look, and what is there? And there are Masonic organizations. And in 1717, the already existing lodges of England united and created the Grand Lodge of England. And then the development of these structures began. For some reason, we either demonize the Masons, or say that this is all nonsense, everything is wrong.

Freemasonry was the first closed structure, then new ones appeared, and one of the problems of the world capitalist elite is that those structures that emerged at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s to solve a number of problems, including strangling the Soviet Union in an embrace, have served their purpose, and new structures are needed. And how can new structures be created in a crisis? The house is burning, and I start making a stool? In other words, the presence of closed supranational structures of world coordination and management is the norm of capitalist development, its political economy. This does not mean that there were no closed structures before. The Templars were one and a half generations short of creating the first European Union, they had to wait for Hitler, the father of the European Union. But they didn’t create it, did they? Because they didn’t have a world market.

Capitalism ate itself in 400 years

Immanuel Wallerstein once said in a lecture, I wonder how we will remember capitalism in a thousand years? As a brief moment of a spurt, exponential growth in contrast to the asymptote of pre-capitalist development, or as something else? It is absolutely clear that capitalism is a historical conspiracy, it is a crime. But at the same time, capitalism is also fantastic inventions, a colossal population growth. Dismantling these institutions is the dismantling of the capitalist system. As soon as the world rate of profit in the capitalist system decreased, capitalism snatched a part of the non-capitalist zone and turned it into a capitalist periphery, solving the problem of cheap labor and a source of raw materials. In this regard, colonial expansion went in such spurts – now colonial expansion, then everything is quiet, it was connected with the world rate of profit. And what happens in 1991? That’s it, the non-capitalist zones are over. Capitalism can no longer develop extensively; there is nowhere to go, except into space.

CAPITALISM AS A REALITY – SOCIAL NATURE, MAIN STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, MODERN WORLD CRISIS

What’s next – an excess of democracy in Western societies?

In 1973, the work “The Crisis of Democracy” was written (Huntington, Croisier and Watanuki), where it is written that the main problem, the main challenge and the danger of the West is not the Soviet Union. It is the excess of democracy in Western societies. It is necessary to remove this excess, it is necessary to apathize the population, especially active political groups, and instill in the population that democracy is not so much a value as a principle. But there are other principles – hierarchy. From this moment on, the process of dismantling many institutions that limit capital begins. The neoliberal revolution or counterrevolution with the faces of Reagan and Thatcher begins. But first, preparations had to be made for this. And this dismantling is the crisis.

The crisis did not begin in 2008, the crisis began at the turn of the 70s and 80s, when they began to remove what hinders capital. But it is precisely what hinders the capitalist system that makes it. Deindustrialization was invented in order to degrade the working class. Formally, it has an economic “excuse” – if we transfer the automobile industry from Detroit to South Korea – production will cost us less, South Korea has weak trade unions, we can pay people less. And we will show the workers of Detroit a fig – if you do not want to work for less money, then do not. The result is the bankruptcy of Detroit. But the main thing was that deindustrialization weakened the social force that could, ultimately, politically challenge the top. I call this course “Three D” – deindustrialization, depopulation and derationalization of consciousness.

Cut down the “cultural optimism” of the 1960-s

Deindustrialization had to be prepared. That is why in 1962 an environmental movement was created with Rockefeller money, which began to explain all the harmfulness of industrial development – it is bad from the point of view of ecology. Then the Club of Rome was created and in the very first report it was stated that “zero growth” is needed, that is, 50% for industrial development, 50% for leveling out environmental damage. In fact, it was about stopping technical progress. Note that at the turn of the 1960-1970s, space programs were curtailed, industrial development was curtailed, and the Tavistock Institute for the Study of Man was given the task of cutting off the “cultural optimism” of the 1960s. In what form did cultural optimism develop? In the form of science fiction. Since the late 1970s, it has been replaced by fantasy. How is fantasy different from science fiction? Fantasy is the future, like the past: these are dragons, these are lords, this is the world of magic. And this is a very important point. Magic power. Because magic is what opposes religion.

Music as a way to influence the masses

The expansion of English-language music begins. I really love the music of the 30-70s, and if you watch any disc, French and Italian music will dominate. From the mid-1970s, or more precisely with the Beatles phenomenon, completely different music begins. And it is very interesting – when it was necessary to launch the process of the revolution of 1968, rock music worked – 160 beats per minute. And therefore, when it was necessary to dampen it down, the disco style began, Italian music. And the disco style is exactly 72 beats per minute. This is a great psychophysical manipulation of large masses. In the 1960s, a youth subculture was created: “rock, sex, drugs”.

The environmental movement, the women’s movement. And, finally, the movement of sexual minorities. The movement of minorities is what undermines civil society. A minority is a collective. Civil society consists of individuals. Archaization began in this form. It doesn’t matter what kind of minority it is – ethnic, sexual, what matters is that it is the dominance of the collective over the individual. Europe is returning to the pre-capitalist past, and the entire system is returning to this past. True, the “dismantlers” had one problem – the USSR. The thing is that while the USSR existed, it was impossible to put pressure on its middle classes, it was impossible to put much pressure on the periphery. And it was necessary to somehow solve the Soviet problem – to strangle it in an embrace.

The post CAPITALISM IS A HISTORICAL CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY first appeared on Global Policy.

It is symbolic that exactly 41 years ago, on November 26, 1975, the United States adopted the national security Memorandum NSSM-200 (National Security Study Memorandum), which set the task to control the growth of the world’s population and ensure a global decline in fertility.

THE TALE OF OVERPOPULATION OR THE CREEPING GENOCIDE OF HUMANITY

The reason was that further population growth poses a threat to US dominance over global resources, as it increases political instability in the world, especially in rapidly growing regions. It took less than half a century for humanity to face the real threat of the end of the pension system on a global scale.

Shami notes that just half a century ago, in 1965, the proportions in the world between children under 15 and old people over 65 were about 7:1, including in Africa 14:1, Asia and Latin America-11: 1, Europe and North America-3: 1. At present, according to the UN, this proportion in the world is even less than 3:1, and is steadily deteriorating, and on the global age pyramid, you can see that about 30 years ago, the growth of a younger population sharply slowed down. After 10 years, the NSSM-200 began to bear its thin fruit. The world quickly began to age…

NSSM-200

The NSSM-200 Memorandum was the two-hundredth analytical document submitted by national security adviser Henry Kissinger to the President of the United States. On November 26, 1975, it was approved by President Gerald Ford and remained classified until the early 1990s.With the collapse of the Soviet Union, many goals could not be hidden.

Making up 6% of the world’s population, the Memorandum says, the US consumes a third of the world’s resources, and they are mostly located in regions with rapidly growing populations. Therefore, it is in the interests of the United States to control the growth of their population, which threatens unpredictable consequences. The United States was recommended to start a long-term program to reduce the birth rate around the world by all available methods, involving various international organizations – who, UNICEF, UNESCO, the world Bank, the International Federation of “family planning” and so on.

THE ERA OF GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION

The most threatening to US interests were named 13 countries: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil. Some of them do not reproduce themselves today (Thailand), some-on the verge (Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil).

Henry Kissinger defines the ways to achieve this goal:

1. The introduction of “family planning” as an integral part of the health systems of “underdeveloped” countries and the strict linking of the development of any medical services, especially in the field of motherhood and childhood, with “family planning”. Simply put, medicine in exchange for a lower birth rate.

2. The development of medical technologies for the neutralization and suppression of human fertility.

3. The introduction of “family planning” as a right (“safe sex” and so on) into the minds of the younger generation, that is, spiritual corruption. Moreover, the Memorandum recommends “influencing national leaders” on this issue.

HOLLYWOOD AS A SUPRANATIONAL WEAPON

After 40 years, we can say with bitterness that the plan was a success, when the call of Turkish President Recep Erdogan to give birth to three children even many Turks were subjected to derogatory criticism-before the plan of supranational elites to reduce the population as their alleged PERSONAL choice for the right to “family planning” (in fact – to have as few children as possible) took root in the minds of people.

Kissinger writes that ” there is an urgent need to take a number of measures to start reducing the birth rate and do it effectively in the 1970s and 1980s.” Now, looking back, it becomes clear that the debauchery that became the norm in Hollywood at that time (how strikingly different are the films made before the 1960s!), was an integral part of the global plan.

“The key factor in the effective use of existing contraceptive techniques has been and remains the problem of education. Without reducing the efforts aimed at the adult population, it is necessary to focus on the younger generation – those who are now in elementary school or even younger, ” Kissinger suggests.

The Memorandum provides for “orientation of new generations to create a small family”. “The desired family size is four or more children.” Therefore, “it is imperative to convince the General public that it is in their individual and national interest to have an average of three and then two children,” the secret plan says. In order to avoid suspicion, “we must make sure that our activities are not perceived by developing countries as policies of a developed country directed against these countries.”

As for the implementing organizations of the plan, ” the US should bring together donor countries, who, UNFPA, UNICEF and the world Bank to create a consortium that would help the most needy countries in the organization… a health system that will be an integral part of family planning.” UNESCO was asked to lead the work with primary school students. The current school “sexprosvet” grows legs from there.

It is noteworthy that in 1989, in the pages of the magazine “Washington Quarterly” in the article “Global demographic trends in 2010 in the aspect of US security”, the Pentagon openly called for “population planning” to be given the status of a program for the development of new weapons! It is not known whether this was done, but in fact the NSSM-200 became a real weapon in the demographic war waged against the whole world. And before humanity in it loomed the real threat of defeat and-enslavement. In fact, it had a global character and was only framed in terms of the state. The real customer was the bigger players.

MYTHS ABOUT OVERPOPULATION OF THE EARTH

Ordering supranational elites

According to the historian Andrei Fursov, in 1974 in the United States was over “creeping coup”, which began with the shooting of John F. Kennedy and ended with the removal of Richard Nixon, when power over the United States established transnational corporations, designed in supranational structures. By that time, the club of Rome (1968) and the Tripartite Commission (1973) had been established. Kissinger was one of their active participants and actually ran the United States in the 1970s.

Interestingly, the NSSM-200 memo was filed with the new President Ford four months after Nixon’s ouster.

As Olga Chetverikova, a specialist in closed Western structures, writes, in the early 1970s, transnational business, having “pumped out” everything necessary from the economy of mass consumption and the state of “universal welfare”, came to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop a strategy for global governance. The Rome club and the Trilateral Commission have become new front structures (the real ones can only be guessed at), uniting representatives of the world’s political, financial and scientific elites and implementing the ideas of globalism.

THE SECOND CIRCUIT OF POWER IN THE WEST AND CAPITALISM

It was during these years that the reports of the Rome club “limits of growth” (1972) appeared with the aim of controlling the growth of the world’s population, “Humanity at a turning point” (1974), “Revision of the international order” (1975) – the names of which speak for themselves – as well as the famous “Crisis of democracy” (1975) – about the need to create a “managed democracy” in the interests of the ruling elites. They, and not the US state, were the main customers of the plan for total control of The earth’s population, at first – at the level of population management.

At the same time, a new term was introduced, which entered the Russian language as “sustainable development”, although this is not entirely accurate. Sustainable development means, rather, development supported by long-term interests, that is, managed. Thus, in the 1970s, the goal was announced-global governance in the interests of the world’s ecology. However, the goal of supranational elites was and remains global power. Birth control out of concern for the environment is only one of the means.

International legalization

FEMINIZM AS AN IDEOLOGICAL WEAPON OF GLOBALISM

The International conference on population and development in Cairo in 1994 adopted a Programme of action that reaffirmed the right of all married couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly on the number of their children and the length of time between their births. What was new in this Programme of action was that the focus should be on the individual and their rights. Ensuring universal access to” family planning services ” (i.e., ways to reduce the birth rate) has been identified as one of the main goals on a global scale. That is, humanity’s dissatisfaction with “family planning services” and its rapid growth was recorded as a postulate. The policy of all-round reduction of the birth rate was legalized.

Tragic result

According to the UN forecast (the average version), the world’s population will grow until the end of the XXI century.

POPULATION OF THE EARTH IN THE PERIOD 1950-2100 YEARS

However, its growth rate will steadily decline.

The total fertility rate will also decrease. In the middle of the century, the average birth rate on Earth will fall below the level of simple reproduction, that is, humanity will begin to die out, although its population will still grow by inertia.

At the same time, the age structure of the world population will deteriorate. Since the mid-1960s, when children made up 40% of the world’s population, their numbers have been steadily decreasing. The proportion of old people, on the contrary, is growing all the time and will continue to grow. The current three-fold superiority of children will double in the early 2030s, and around 2070 there will be fewer children than old people. Earth will become the planet of old men. However, the big problems begin now, because all these trends are already in effect, especially in the “developed countries”, and the working population is declining.

The median age of the World’s population is also growing steadily. In 40 years, it has grown from 21 years to 30 years, and by the end of the century will reach 42 years. The world will become a world of pensioners. The trouble is that the old people will no longer be pensioners by that time: they will have no one to pay their pensions.

MEDIAN AGE OF THE EARTH’S POPULATION IN YEARS

On all charts, we can see that the first 20-25 years after the Second world war, the population really multiplied rapidly: the number of children increased, the annual population growth accelerated, the birth rate was very high (about 5), the median age decreased. The world was a world of young people who had a future to build, and it was encouraging. Less than half a century later, the world quickly grew old, and the future darkened, burdened with the main concern for food.

Gloomy prospect

In 1970, only 0.7% of the World’s population was over 80 years old. According to the UN forecast, by the end of the XXI century, this will be almost one in ten. In 1995, Italy became the first country in the world where the number of elderly people aged 65 years exceeded the number of children under 15 years, after which almost all countries in Europe experienced this ominous change. Aging is expected all over the world: by 2050, everywhere except Africa, the share of the population from 60 years and older will be 25-30%!

PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION AGED 60 YEARS BY REGION OF THE EARTH

All this will happen against the background of a declining birth rate. Already, 75 countries (almost half of the World’s population) have a birth rate below the level of simple reproduction, which is just over two children per woman. In General, in the world it is about 2.5, that is, only slightly higher than the level of simple replacement of generations.

FUTURE MIGRATIONS OF PEOPLES. . HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF UNTIL IT IS REALIZED

This means that almost half of the planet is already virtually extinct, and in General the planet is facing a real prospect of global extinction. The population structure is rapidly deteriorating almost all over the world. And with it, a real threat of extinction looms over the social state. As can be seen from the global fertility map, almost all over the world, except for Africa and some countries in South Asia, the total fertility rate is below the global average.

That is, almost the entire world, except for these regions, is either facing the immediate threat of inability to reproduce itself, or already in a state of hidden extinction (when the population is still growing by inertia, but the birth rate is already below the level of reproduction), or at all at the stage of explicit extinction (Europe). The” end of history ” that Fukuyama dreamed of is quite real, and it is clearly visible in the demographic dimension.

WHO NEEDS LGBT PEOPLE

The UN predicts that by the end of the twenty-first century, almost the entire world will die out: the birth rate will ensure the reproduction of the population only in some countries of Central Africa. This managed “sustainable development” will become total control in exchange for maintaining the lives of an aging population that will only be interested in old-age benefits. “Family planning” in the long run turns out to be a slow way to take away humanity’s freedom in exchange for the Chimera of “reproductive rights”. Although it is precisely the right to procreation that is most hindered. This explains the worldwide decline in financial support for families. And all the tools continue to work to reduce the birth rate: propaganda of egoism, individualism, careerism, consumerism, equality, sodomy, contraception, sterilization, abortion, euthanasia, debauchery and other abominations. The fact that this plan is not subject to revision, recently said us President-elect Donald trump, when he said that about Sodom “marriages” “the issue has already been resolved.”

SODOM

The stable state of humanity that some dreamers dream of, when the population simply moves to a stable zero population growth, is impossible without breaking the fundamental institutions of marriage and the state. Before humanity reaches this imaginary stable state, it is doomed to a catastrophic deterioration of its socio-economic situation, when, rather, will agree to give all power in private hands, if only they provide it with a minimum that the “demographically exhausted” state will no longer be able to fulfill. This will be the finest hour of transnational corporations, which will declare that they are more effectively performing those services that can not be performed by the state, and will take all power into their own hands. In fact, the process of discrediting the state as an effective economic regulator has been unfolding for several decades, when private companies duplicate state institutions under the pretext that they supposedly more effectively perform their role. Like, what difference does it make who provides services to the population, because the state is only a tool for providing services. The term “public services” is promoted for a reason.

And as for the desired stable state, in demographic science, a stable population is one that is characterized by a constant level of birth rate and mortality and a constant age structure. That is, for example, a stably dying population is also stable, since at the same time it changes by the same relative value, only “in minus”. “Sustainable development” in fact turns out to be a planned and managed “legacy”.

In Russia, the nssm-200 plan has largely achieved its goals. “The rapid political, economic, social and demographic changes that took place in the Russian Federation in the 1990s have historical significance and far-reaching consequences,” the UN population Fund mission said in a report. Unfortunately, this is true: the damage to Russia has been done for decades. However, since the beginning of the XXI century, our country has embarked on the path of restoring sovereignty. As psychologists Irina Medvedeva and Tatiana Shishova write, ” Russia’s policy should be aimed at multiplying and protecting life, and not at planning non-existence.” At the same time, the policy of a country is largely determined by its residents by their actions or inaction.
