    THE RUSSIAN SYSTEM
    by Igor Rogov

    Russian system is still poorly understood in the west. De-facto it is a rule of a small pool of families, who are made of Nomenclatura, shaped in Brezhnev era, or at least vast majority of it, their children and relatives, and their immediate confidants, forming extended clans, somewhat resembling what Ibn Khaldun wrote about. Secondary (or primary, depending on your angle of view) to that is a framework of power, created by what used to be KGB, which underwent curious transmutation and returned as FSB + plethora of “siloviki” or semi-private institutions of enforcement.

    Enforcement of what? Certainly not of the law. Law in Russia is fundamentally a pretext, an excuse to persecute those who challenge the ruling elite, which does not and will never follow their own laws, – this is again has to be understood better from Ibn Khaldun ingenious point of view, rather that from modern Western.

    Russia on a surface looks like slightly odd imitation of the West. Yet it is but a theatrical decoration.

    Yet the further, the more the West itself begins to resemble Russia, so in a few decades everyone has to study Ibn Khaldun, not Spenser and Mill, in order to understand what the hell is going on.

    ON ITALY’S NEED FOR SEPARATION
    by Francesco Principi

    In Italy, the constant increase in public debt, the unstoppable economic decline, the moral breakdown of the ruling class, the political vacuum that has been happening for four decades now, pose the question of productive areas.

    The North of the Peninsula with the awareness of being not only the most productive part of the country, but also the most damaged by the current institutional organizations.

    The real fracture in Italy is not between the right and the left, but between those who filled the bag and those who emptied it, between those who produced taxes and those who consumed them.

    The division is easily identifiable from a geographical point of view, in short, between North and South. In fact, beyond the current rhetoric, after more than a century and a half since unification, the two parts of the country still seem extremely distant.

    For the centralized and Jacobin Italian state the question is simple in its essence: that underground river of money that flows constantly towards the south must not be interrupted. In fact, each year more than 85 billion euros leave the northern and central-northern regions and end up feeding unproductive consumption and political rents in the South.

    This fact is destroying the most productive part of the Peninsula and prevents the economic and cultural development of southern Italy, which through its subsidized economy represents an inexhaustible resource of votes and consents.

    —“Weren’t the oligarchs formed around the Yeltsin/Putin era tho, or does their power predate it?”—Arby Hyde

    —“Their power predates them. Bulk of them were “young communists” from Nomenclatura pool, i.e. the young offspring of the same people. Anyone outside that pool was simply given an opportunity to purchase the privatized assets. To make sure, the monetary reform was conducted prior to privatization, so all the private savings outside Nomenclatura were made worthless. … There are very few notable exceptions, and all them come from the underworld of Russia, i.e. highly organised criminal network directly controlled by KGB.”— Igor Rogov

    The USSR didn’t collapse because of the west. It collapsed because it could no longer compete with consumer capitalism, and when they tried to integrate markets again, they had no plan, those who were corrupt were threatened, and seized power, but they seized power by breaking up the empire rather than retaining it.

    This was totally unnecessary as china has made progress that russia could have made if her leadership was THE BEST administrators rather than the best POLITICIANS. In other words, soviet russia like fascist germany failed because of government to enforce ideology rather than ideology to reinforce good government. The USA however provide competitive pressure so that russia’s malinvestment in military was not possible to sustain. Productivity in russia declined rapidly by the 1960s, and was in free-fall in the 1970’s. This put russia in a position where she could no longer remain competitive. Consumer capitalism was necessary.

    One thing Igor has not mentioned is that Ibn Khaldun’s theory applies to all human organizations, families, business, economic sectors, economies, intellectual disciplines arts and sciences, and not just political sectors.And it’s interesting (and telling) that westerners discovered the former and muslims discovered the latter. The value of the monarchies is that they constitute a MARKET for rotation, which is what occurred throughout european history.

    THE CORRECTION OF DYSGENICS

    —“Norway and Sweden have eliminated dysgenic trends thanks to an egalitarian society;”— Lynn

    Turns out this isn’t true, but it’s a solution.

    1. End immigration “Send Them Back”
    2. Definancialize the economy and monetary distribution.
    3. Separation into small homogenous nation states
    4. small homogenous redistributive polities.
    5. pay the underclass not to reproduce (or sterilize them).
    6. provide redistribution to simplify reproduction

    THE REASON AMERICANS ALWAYS BACK THE SAUDIS
    by Anonymous

    Oil is traded in US dollars primarily as a handshake and security contract between Saudi Arabia and USA since the 1970’s. World Trade of oil in US dollars keeps US dollar strong and inflation low in USA, what Americans can buy for a US dollar.

    The countries holding most of the gas in the world are thinly populated countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, their rulers need US blessings to survive. Since the petrol producers demand payments in US dollars ( In reality they do not have that much need for US dollars), all other countries from Africa to Asia have need for US dollars to pay for oil.

    So US issues trillions of dollars of debt in US treasuries which results in lot of currency in the market that should drive inflation in USA. But these oil producers suck up US treasury debt keeping US dollar the king. Other countries chase US dollar again keeping demand for US dollar high.

    Imagine if world oil trade moved away from US dollar, you will have trillions of dollars who nobody suddenly needs. USA has a policy to keep demand for US dollar high in the world. This helps Americans live in low inflation and almost zero interest environment. It’s been this monetary system for a long time. Only one that can fix it is not even USA, it is GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). It will take long time for another currency to take place of USD.

  • We just need to privatize and re-professionalize teaching, and have parents hire

    —We just need to privatize and re-professionalize teaching, and have parents hire teachers they way they hired pastors (the teachers of the past). The problem is very simple. schools are a monopoly hiring teachers at a discount, and consuming the revenue in rents at all levels, when the teachers are not often people with real world experience (or ability), and they pair teachers and students depriving parents of paying for and getting teachers that they want. In other words, the socialized school system (rather than subsidized) is a non market organization producing non-market ends.—

    WHY DOES IRAN WANT WHAT IT WANTS?

    —“why does iran want to change that? well because dollars are inconvenient maybe i dont know. lemme go ahead and read your full post now so i get a better idea lol.”—Sascha Alexander Günter

    Imagine the demand for the Rial (iranian currency) if one could only buy iranian oil in Rials. Imagine if iran succeeds in taking syria, iraq, lebanon, and the west coast of the persian gulf? We forget that the Afghanis and half of Pakistani’s are iranic peoples.

    THE MATH
    Iran 81m (Core State)
    Iraq 38.2m
    Syria 18.2m
    Lebanon 6m
    —-
    140M = Russia.

    And then, add by alliance

    Afghanistan 35.5m
    Pakistan 197m …. with 140 Nuclear Weapons.
    —-
    375m = USA

    This makes iran a world power with the ability to print money for debt on the scale of the USA, making her more powerful than russia in the hemisphere.

    Now, you may not think in these terms, but the iranian political classes do.

    (Just like the russians dream of uniting orthodoxy (eastern european, russian, greek, caucasian peoples).)

    WHAT DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD WANT?

    —“Genuine question then, is that something we want? Don’t have a choice on the matter long term? Or something we’d do anything to avoid it occurring?”—MJ Street

    It’s something to WANT if they’re not an exporter of islamism, asymmetric warfare, terrorism, and instability
    It’s not something to want if they oppose the arabs and try to take the arab ports on the gulf.

    At least FIVE civilizations
    1. Turkey
    2. Central Asia
    3. Irania
    4. Arabia
    5. North Africa

    What we want is Iran to depose the islamists, return to persian history as another indo european civilization and peer to India, arabia, north africa, the west, and china.

    THE ONE MONOPOLY THAT PREVENTS ALL OTHERS

    You WANT, and all mankind wants, MONOPOLY – which is only achievable in supernatural or sophomoric or pseudoscientific ignorance, poverty, and equality in ignorance and poverty.

    This is the muslim religion’s strategy. To drag everyone to the bottom where they are equal in ignorance, poverty and dysgenia.

    Whereas the Chinese and Indian strategies are merely stagnation (harmony), ousr is continuous competition, adaptation, innovation.

    And that is why our law is ‘scientific’ and why, as a consequence, we developed reason and science: because innovation requires competitive and markets, and cannot function by any other means – particularly markets between frames that reflect a hierarchy of abilities: class strategies that seek to circumvent those markets.

    Aristocracy’s duty is the service of the interests of our people – it’s not to tolerate their frames. Instead, when necessary, by father, neighbor, sheriff, court, sargeant, general, and king, to use the law, and military truth – that truth called reporting, which meaning testifying to only what is observable and observed – to produce the ONE MONOPOLY we must: preservation of our market from all competition internal and external, foreign and domestic.

    WHEN IT”S NO LONGER “US” BUT “US AND THEM”

    You see, once it’s no longer “Us”, it’s us and them. And once it’s no longer us, but us and them, we don’t care about them, only us. Which is where we are right now. I don’t care about them. I’m willing to revolt, separate, trade, prosper, and speciate. But no longer willing to cohabitate under the same social, economic and political order. But if separation fails, then every less pleasant option is on the table. And frankly we’d kind of rather use the other options on the table – and have our retribution thanks.
