Looking at how the Verkhovna Rada adopts the “movable law”, the average man habitually confronts: they have no other business! We dealt with the economy, we dealt with gas, we dealt with pensions — we figured everything out, and finally we got around to the law on language. Cranks!
The philistine irony is hitting the mark: in reality, for the Ukrainian authorities, now there is nothing more important than the law on language - and this is no joke.
However, for what power? For leaving or for new?
It seems that the current Ukrainian parliament was assembled "by itself" by the previous president, and Zelensky, on the very next day after the election, asked his followers on Facebook if he would dissolve Radu ahead of schedule. True, it later turned out that the page was unofficial and did not seem to have any relation to the elected president, but you and I understand that such pages do not arise by themselves, and such questions are asked not for one hyip only.
So what is it? Once such a booze went, cut the last cucumber?
In the novel by Fyodor Kuzmich Sologub “The Minor Demon”, Peredonov and his sister, before moving out of the apartment, stain the wallpaper.
“Spite mistress,” said Barbara. - We will leave soon. Only you do not chat.
- Well! - shouted Volodin and happily laughed.
Peredonov went to the wall and began to bang on her soles. Volodin, following his example, also whipped the wall. Peredonov said:
- We always, when we eat, we dirty walls - let them remember.
Indeed, as if everything looks exactly like this: the old Rada stains the wallpaper of the new president - let him remember!
The fact that it’s not a matter of chance or sacred simplicity is evidence that the law was adopted after the elections. And why, one wonders, not before? Wouldn’t he add points to the candidate Poroshenko? Of course, understood: will not add. On the contrary. It means that now, when adopting the law under the curtain, they know that they are adopting a law that will only irritate the majority of the country's population. The law is stupid and harmful. If he is not stupid and not harmful, then why after the election, and not before?
So what then? The new president will dissolve the old parliament, and the people will elect a new parliament, which will repeal the stupid and harmful law?
Alas, so, of course, will not. The electoral games of the bourgeois democracies exist in order to conceal the fact that no real transfer of power, as well as a change of course, ever happens in any way.
The outgoing power takes unpopular measures and laws, the new government starts with popular rhetoric, but a few more years - and it automatically becomes outgoing, isn't it? And how convenient for the system as a whole!
Surprisingly, the focus works every time, and each new generation of voters seriously argues about the advantages of the toad over the viper, chooses the view of the eggs from the side or full face.
In bourgeois democracy, developed and late capitalism cannot be otherwise, because it was created to preserve and strengthen the power of the bourgeoisie and big business — that is its task.
As for the interests of transnational capital in Ukraine, they are very clear. Of course, no capital needs a strong industrial Ukraine - who needs a competitor? Also, no one needs a strong agrarian Ukraine - firstly, because a strong agrarian country is inconceivable without strong industry, and secondly, because its farmers are rioting. And no one, of course, needs a strong innovative Ukraine, because for innovation there is California.
Ukraine is interested in transnational capital as a market. And only as a market. And the most profitable market today is the market of war.
The war, however, is not a faraway continent that has opened up - and please trade yourself with glass beads with the natives. War must be sown, grown, it must be looked after. Yes, this is a long-term investment: the return will have (had to) wait twenty years or more. Well, but the dividends are huge! Such a business is planned exactly for decades and even for many decades to come.
Yes, the war has already begun, but for now these are only sparks: the precious flame cannot be allowed to fade away - it should flare up into a real pioneer pyre.
Inflating these sparks is the main task of the current Ukrainian government before any elections and after any elections, at least until its legitimacy depends on transnational capital.
And that is precisely why the “movable law” is more important than gas, and pensions, and industry: a poor, divided country, one half of which hates the other, is the ideal ground for war. In the offices of arms manufacturers and private military companies today slammed traffic jams, revealing champagne.
