The knowledge of society, in contrast to the knowledge of nature,
deals with social matter, that is, with social relations that people enter with
each other and that are independent of their will and consciousness. These
relations and other forms of social matter in the form of objects of the first
nature of social matter involved in circulation can be known and reflected in
images and concepts by means of science, religion and art, but their
transformation is possible only in collective material practice. The people's
dream-the collective great dream is an integrator of public consciousness and
social reality in mastering new meanings and, therefore, capturing and building
an image of the future, and later in the practical construction of this future.
30 years ago, our people and their party-state elite realized the rejection of
the great dream of a common destiny of humanity through the construction of
communism as a bright future for all mankind, as a result, the peoples of
Eurasia were invited to integrate into the foreign liberal project of Greater
Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok. For us in Russia, this project was unsuccessful
and showed its failure.
To this global project that failed for Russia, attributions were
added such as-we are going to a post-industrial society, to a society of
services. The way to this society is through sustainable development. The
conceptual complex "sustainable development" is unscientific and
questionable, but it has been encrusted in the theoretical framework of
understanding liberal globalization. Later, it was followed by meaningless but
loud-sounding phrases like "green economy, digital society".
Sustainable development in Russia is figuratively demonstrated at
international exhibitions, in particular, at Innoprom exhibition in
Yekaterinburg. The author visited and studied all ten Innoprom exhibitions,
which are designed to show the dream of peoples and mark a special Russian
dream. But at the exhibitions, the lack of understanding of the development
path and image of the future for the Russian and its complimentary
civilizations is striking. There is a chimerical thinking of the exhibitors
themselves. Baroness S. Greenfield, a participant in the exhibition, writes
about "the people of tomorrow" in her books. As the main one, she
puts on the cover the question: "how technologies of the twenty-first
century are changing the way we think and feel" [2]. In other words, we
are talking about technologies, and technologies are how something is produced,
but not under what social relations it occurs.
It is obvious to us that it was necessary to check the course on the
information society and post-industrialism initially, that is, at the time of
the change of formations, when there was an accelerated degradation from human
to transhuman. But many authors believe that socialism with its rigid ideology
is outdated and does not correspond to the level of modern production, and they
declare capitalism mysterious, incomprehensible and changing. Literally, our
friend the German philosopher J. Campbell writes: "History has proved that
the ideology of socialism does not correspond to the level of development of
society and therefore cannot bring any real results." And then: "Capitalism
is one of the most mysterious systems (if not the most mysterious) in the
history of mankind. It is much more interesting than the Mayan civilization,
the civilizations of Ancient China and Egypt. Capitalism is a system that is
constantly changing, not identical to itself and difficult to detect" [1,
p. 387-388].
Break
into the future under the banner of the great dream
History itself shows that in its most difficult moments, Russia has repeatedly made a breakthrough into the future of all mankind under the banner
of the great dream. Russian dream Academy in Yekaterinburg in 2019 was opened
by A.A. Prokhanov as the first step of the new Russian dream in modern Russia. After talking at the opening of the Academy with a prominent publicist, the author
of these lines understood his idea-we need to conceptualize the dream, that is,
the transition from dreams through art, ideology, exploration of the future to
the science of society. Russian writer was initially surprised that in a
dialogue with the Governor of the Sverdlovsk region, this prominent writer of
the Russian land replaced the "Russian idea" with the "Russian
dream". Replace the idea with a dream!? This requirement shows that
training for projects of new world systems shows that the old geopolitics is a
thing of the past, a new geopolitics 1.0 (in the terminology of A.G. Dugin) -
the geopolitics of the unipolar world, while there is a need for a new real
geopolitics 2.0, or the geopolitics of a multipolar world [5]. However, this is
not enough – there is a need for not just geopolitical regulation of space, but
time management, that is, sky-politics [4].
In Russia, sky-politics is beginning to replace the "bright
myth of the West", which is no longer supported by the new real
geopolitics of the multipolar world. And since multipolarity is impossible in
the physical material world (only bipolarity), it is also impossible in the
spatial dimension of relations between countries and powers in the pre-war and
war period, when only two sides collide, as is the case in any military
conflict, non-politics comes to the fore. There are three pairs of players in
it as in a bridge game, and these pairs need a special form of public
consciousness – the black myth. The black myth of the West as the "fiend
of hell" in Russia changes the perestroika myth of adoration and worship
of the West. S.G. Kara-Murza writes in the book "Manipulation of
consciousness": "Today, having been defeated in the cold war and observing
the destruction of our country, a significant part of the intelligentsia has
fallen into a symmetrical and structurally similar to perestroika myth-making.
The black myth of the West is being created. It warms the soul of a patriot,
but reduces his ability to realistically perceive and understand the processes
that are taking place. For manipulators who need to divert public consciousness
from the essence of contradictions, such myths are no less useful than the
bright myth of the West in the 80's" [7, p. 196]. The author shows in his
classic fundamental research that these black myths of the West are supplemented
by "soft" black myths about the Soviet system (the economic myth, the
myth of the Soviet militia, the myth of technological risk, the environmental
myth), as well as large black myths – myths about the black hundreds and white
guards, myths about socialism as a path to destruction.
These myths are created by pseudo-experts, by engaged political
scientists. The most serious and objective Western scientists note, as S. Cohen
writes, that "scientists and journalists should get rid of pseudo-experts,
especially those who treat Russia like any other country, regardless of its
history, and see it as just a "laboratory" for testing their
theories. (No doubt there must be something special about a country where both
communism and capitalism have been completely discredited in just 80 years.)
Among those who consider themselves experts, representatives of two professions
played a particularly pernicious role in the 90s: theoretical economists and
financial investors. Both resembled those weapons experts from another era who
were considered "Sovietologists" only on the grounds that the Soviet Union possessed weapons.
Traveling "shock therapists" from various universities,
intersectoral institutions, and official structures have had a particularly
strong influence on the press's opinion of post-Communist Russia. It is a pity that most of them knew little about this country (except that it has an
economy) and were not at all embarrassed that their laws and recipes are
Marxist universal. (Some of them were so "not in the material" that
their own businesses in Moscow ended in a scandal). In fairness, it should be
noted that not all economists shared the views of the adherents of "shock
therapy" and were right. "Shock therapists" suffered a crushing
defeat in Russia" [8, p. 61].
The
idea, the dream, the doctrine
The idea exists where there are large groups of people comparable to
society (classes, nations, peoples), and the dream, dreams can be an
individual, a person, a person. Reducing an idea to a dream, philosophy to
aesthetics and artistic understanding of the world in images, social Sciences
and Humanities to sociological surveys is dangerous for building the trajectory
and development plan of any society. We need to reverse the movement from the
dream of the future, of the "beautiful Russia of the future" to move
through the idea and social ideologies to the scientific understanding of
society.
The constitutional ban on official ideology lowered the level of study
of ideas in society. Now even graduate students do not know what an idea is,
and yet this category comes from the philosophers of antiquity and in Plato
occupies the most important role in his system, since the entire material
object world in objective idealism and religion is a shadow of the world of
ideas. You ask graduate students: "is the white ceiling an idea?» They
don't understand, but you say: "Where-where-where I am" - these words
are smiled at, there is an Association from advertising: "there is an
idea, there is IKEA" - here the smile is even wider, they understand what
they are calling to buy, this is the idea of minimalism and quality embedded in
perfect goods and services.
Meanwhile, a dream without an idea is empty, a dream with an idea is
a project, and a conceptually formed dream is already a doctrine. In A.
Balabanov's cult film "Brother 2", a New-York taxi driver on the way
from the airport shouts: "Russian idea, Dostoevsky, power… Where is your
homeland, son?! Gorbachev handed over your Homeland to the Americans to hang
out beautifully...". To form a new doctrine consisting of ideas, the
famous traditional "Russian questions" of the century before last
should be asked: Who is to blame? What to do? Who are the judges? Where to
start? They will make it possible not to issue decrees and carry out manual
management of society, but to create plans, the very plans that are controlled
by scientific communities and tested in practice on the scale of individual
industries and society as a whole. Nevertheless, the ideas and concepts
themselves may be scientific or unscientific, and a dream is a dream – it is
always outside of science.
Three
forms of knowledge
In the “Phenomenology of the spirit”, G.W.F. Hegel shows three forms
of knowledge: religion, art, and science. The highest of these is conceptual
knowledge, i.e. scientific knowledge. And science, as we know, is a product of
class society; moreover, in an antagonistic society, two understandings and two
images of this society are possible: scientific and unscientific, or historical
materialism and historical idealism. It is necessary to choose between a
scientific understanding of society and an unscientific representation of it.
Among our colleagues, philosophers and social scientists, there are many
idealists, but they do not admit that idealists and often say that the main
question of philosophy is outdated (the question of the primacy and secondary
nature of matter and consciousness – the ontological aspect of the question,
the question of cognizability and ways of knowing the world – the
epistemological aspect of the question) and that it is time to know the world
with images, feelings, sensations.
Knowledge of the world in images, a reflection of the world by means
of art, mastering the world with dreams and day dreams, in the words of Freud,
also a party of human cognition, but it is not a science. It is difficult to
apply scientific systematic work and practice as a criterion of truth to dreams
and dreams as a production of ideas. It is possible, but difficult – just like
it is difficult to apply labor to winter wheat in winter: production is under
snow, and human labor is not needed. Since the largest modern writer A.A.
Prokhanov does not stand on the positions of the class understanding of society,
and he is forced to talk about the people's subjectivity in history, to turn to
God, to talk about the unknowable mysteries of the soul of our people and
history as a whole.
Since the people are the bearers of the dream, the dream of the
people is not interpreted as true or false. The question of whether it exists
or not, in what new form it will appear at a particular turn of history, is
comprehended. Here, while waiting for the manifestation of a dream, one can
only rely on a great personality, and any individual as a person in history is
always guided by the patterns of the past. It remains only to see whose
portraits hang in the offices of the great personalities of modern history, who
they focus on in the past - Peter the First (or Great) or Ivan Grozny, for
example. And we know who had these portraits. All this means that it is time to
agree on concepts, create a categorical grid for the study of society and man,
and in the words of the classic, before you unite, you should resolutely separate.
Separate social scientists and visionaries, politicians and ideologues. It is
important for our postgraduates and undergraduates to take the position of
scientific knowledge of society, which sets tasks for natural and social
Sciences, and social needs move science more than a dozen first-class
universities. Recall the "Manhattan project" of the United States and the catch-up nuclear project in the USSR, the battle for space and the arms race
of the cold war period.
The dream does not replace ideology, because the realization of the
dream requires the political will and interests of the class that develops the
ideology and uses it as its tool, using the party. Dreams and ideologies create
and replicate an image of the future that is attractive to the masses with the
help of state media. Since the dominant ideology is prohibited in the Russian Federation, and, as article 13 States, updated in 2020. According to the
Constitution of the Russian Federation, "no ideology can be established as
a state or mandatory", then you can create an ideology that is common, but
not dominant and mandatory for everyone on behalf of the state. Most often,
ideology is understood as a system of socially significant ideas and values. It
turns out that the Constitution prohibits values and ideas adopted at the state
level, because the Constitution recognizes "ideological diversity".
If ideology is not understood as political ideas and projects, then it is
possible as a state system of ideas, since it is no longer an ideology and not
a political one, and this is how the 1991 referendum on the preservation of the
USSR was replaced by the party apparatus. Then it was written - "Are you
for preserving the Union as a Union of sovereign States?" and people voted
for the Union, but in fact it was interpreted as a vote against or a vote for
independent or Sovereign States.
And in the case of ideology, we create an ideology without calling
it an ideology. In fact, the expression "Greater Eurasia" is not
ideological, like the expression "Greater Ural": this was the name of
a hotel in the 30s in Sverdlovsk, but the name referred to the era of
industrialization. The expression combines formational and civilizational approaches.
Greater Eurasia is an ideology-form is content, the medium is the message, as
stated by M. McLuhan. In the expression "Greater Eurasia", as in the
expression "dictatorship of the proletariat", neither the
dictatorship nor the proletariat has a separate meaning, but only together. Not
a dictatorship, but the leadership of the masses. Not the proletariat, but the
owner of the means of production, or the factory-and-factory urban proletariat,
which has taken power and is now leading the mass of working people, that is,
non-factory workers, but employees and employees of all kinds. This means that
Greater Eurasia is neither Eurasia nor Greater. This is a single expression
that speaks of the Russian world, which is undergoing a phase of second
industrialization in the framework of cooperation between countries with a
population that makes up half of the world in the Eurasian Union.
Classical geopolitics States that States are living organisms that
live, move, expand, and die. States degrade and break up into fragments of
small non-independent pseudo-States, which not so long ago received the name
failed states. Nations move States, and Nations are ruled by leaders. The whole
scheme in the twenty-first century was called into question. Everything is
managed by real experts or pseudo-specialists, whose lies require science to
expose.
People make mistakes in their choice and do it more and more often.
The nomenclature of the former state nominates leaders from its ranks, the
leaders turn from populist Democrats into tyrants, and then into clowns. The
masses are increasingly aroused not by the destruction of their established
social condition, but by the unfairness of song contests. And since peoples are
making mistakes more and more often, is it possible to respect the hasty and
unwise choice of peoples in these conditions? Can the right to elect heads of
state be taken away from them?
People are increasingly interested in the "shadow of the
donkey" - this phraseology was widely known in the ancient world.
According to legend, Demosthenes bitterly remarked: you are ready to listen to
the fable about the shadow of the donkey, but you do not want to listen to an
important matter. Socrates said something similar to the Athenians, for which
he was poisoned by the court: each of you is as cunning as a fox, and all
together - you are a herd of sheep. The question, therefore, is about training
and educating specialists who cannot be deceived, but are able to expose and
question global lies. This means that we need an ideology, but of the future,
not of the present, and it is the task of the science of society to create it.
In other words, there is no common ideology today – it is the future and the
main word in the discourse about ideology is the future. Ideology is a
superstructure phenomenon and it does not arise without creating a basis in society.
The basis and core of the common ideology is the SCO and BRICS, the core of
which is the World system of socialism, which has moved to Southeast Asia. In
the words of G.W.F. Hegel, "it is, or it is Being." And ideology is
nothing, or a reflection of being.
In G.V.F. Hegel, on the contrary, the idea creates the world.
Ominous are his words about the German spirit from the “Lectures on the
philosophy of history”: "the German spirit is the spirit of the new world,
whose goal is to realize absolute truth as the infinite self-determination of
freedom, that freedom whose content is its absolute form itself. The purpose of
the Germanic peoples is to be the bearers of the Christian principle. The
principle of spiritual freedom, the principle of reconciliation was laid down
in the simple-minded, not yet enlightened souls of the German peoples, and they
were entrusted with the task not only to accept the concept of true freedom as
a religious substance in the service of the world spirit, but also to create
freely in the world, based on subjective self-consciousness" [3, p. 361].
The science of the diversity of society and the
ideologies
Today, in the science of society, it is
necessary to turn to the study of the diversity of civilizations in conditions
when the globalization proclaimed by liberal mythology not only ended, but a
century after Lenin's theory of imperialism turned out to be a theoretical
dummy. For the "end of history" proclaimed by the liberals, there is
no problem of local civilizations, since there is the only winning global
commodity civilization. But since most modern humanitarians are not Marxists,
they are not right-wing or left-wing, but conservatives (in the old way,
bourgeois, or philistines, in the terminology of the nineteenth century), they
find in the theory of civilization a third way between the class approach and
the civilizational world-historical, that is, bourgeois approach to history.
Their way of understanding history is cultural and historical, and the language
of their theories is postmodern, like all terminology, but the content of the
theory contradicts this form. They are not liberals - today it is dangerous to
be a liberal, because the Russian President in an interview on June 27, 2019
before the G20 Summit said that "the liberal idea has outlived its
usefulness", and these words were interpreted as a statement about the
"death of liberalism". This interpretation was taken up by the entire
"collective West" - they heard not what was said, but what everyone
was waiting for, as they waited for the announcement of the "death of
communism" a quarter of a century ago, and then this statement was made on
behalf of the new Russia in the US Congress.
The key concept of philosophical unscientific
postmodernism as the ideological foundation of liberalism -
"deconstruction" - does not mean the destruction, but the
identification of parts of a whole, or rather, as G.W.F. Hegel said,
"moments" of classical works on civilizationism, theories of
civilization as non-class, and therefore not quite scientific models of social
development. Why not parts, because only a corpse can have parts, as F. Engels
pointed out, and it will be more correct to speak about the moments of origin
and passing (death) of social existence and its reflection in science as a form
of social consciousness. But since the question is about reconstruction, that
is, restoring the civilizational approach, we can talk about recreating the
scientific understanding of civilizations themselves. This means that in
principle, civilizational analysis can be put on a modern scientific basis and
get away from the figurative principle that prevails in understanding
civilizations, comparing them, and identifying certain worlds, including the
"Russian world". This is what F. Engels, when singled out the stages
of early development of society - "savagery, barbarism, civilization".
However, many social thinkers, predicting the
future, are engaged exclusively in language and civilization, deliberately
narrowing the horizon of their research. They are usually interested in local
civilizations, that is, unique civilizations that are simply understood as rare
languages of communication, where only a game of metaphors and meanings is
seen. The authors believe that the Marxist paradigm of understanding society
refers to the world-historical course of history, is outdated and therefore not
suitable for considering local civilizations today. Moving away from
postmodernism and avoiding general questions about the way people's material
life is produced, and setting a particular question about the relationship
between language and civilization, one can only remain within the framework of
historical idealism. This means not seeing in civilization either the class
struggle or the development of methods of production, leaving the core of
civilizations out of the scope of our consideration, and understanding it as
something secondary to civilization. The core of society in this case will be
language, discourse, a set of simulacra. This search for the linguistic
foundations of local civilizations reveals the evaluative nature of the axioms
underlying the civilizational approach. It's like in mathematics – when you
change the axioms, change the idea of a point, plane, and straight line, the
science itself changes: from Euclidean stereometry to Lobachevsky geometry.
However, the national language is not a demiurge
of either civilization or culture. If you look at the letters M.V. Lomonosov
stored in the archive of the St. Petersburg branch of the archive of Russian
Academy of Sciences, which showed the sister of the author of these lines,
historian, Director of the archive and the corresponding member of RAS I.V.
Tunkina, we find written by M.V. Lomonosov in German huge volumes, dotted on
the margins with notes in Greek, Italian, Latin. Today, there are no
translators in the country who can prepare these materials for publication. The
question is what language governed Russian science in the Imperial Academy of
Sciences and Arts created by Peter the Great from German academicians recruited
on the recommendation of G. Leibniz? Russian Academy itself became ethnically
Russian only after a century and a half, when the Russians and Germans
equalized in its composition and reconciled.
Since G.W.F. Hegel distinguished three ways of human comprehension
of the world – religious, figurative and conceptual, we can agree with the
intention of deconstructing the conceptual series to pay attention to the
figurative comprehension of the world, but this is not enough for the full knowledge
of society. We will leave religion aside here as a form of knowledge that goes
back to history.
It is interesting that by proclaiming language as the creator of the
civilizational structure that covers borders and demographic processes, the
authors of the conservative orientation reproduce the Hegelian absolute idea,
which becomes the absolute spirit and thus completes every development and
history of society. This was the position of the old Hegelians, who believed in
the system of categories of their teacher. But young Hegelians that prioritizes
the dialectic as a revolutionary method of thinking that condemns all things to
death, you know that you need to work with the new and what is developing from
lower to higher, from simple to complex, that is the scientist in the understanding
of society is necessary to side with progressive tendencies. And here the
position of moderate conservatism comes into conflict with the vector of
historical development. People usually speak after the image of F. Fukuyama
about the "end of history" and the collapse of the three-pronged
model of international relations: capitalist countries (or "free
world" in terms of Western sociology), socialist countries
("Communist bloc") and (countries of the so called "third
world"). In fact, the world has developed a bipolar model, there is no
total domination of the capitalist system, have been preserved and developed by
the world socialist system, which, departing from the imperialist metropolises
as emerging capitalist countries came to the core of the new system of the
Union of states of Russia and China and created the SCO and BRICS on this
basis.
Since liberalism and its practical embodiment, capitalism, are
subjected to not only theoretical but also comprehensive practical criticism,
the question of creating a positive social ideal becomes acute. Capitalism is
criticized by the small bourgeoisie, which dreams of becoming a large one. She
criticizes him from the standpoint of corruption of the state apparatus, which
does not allow small businesses to rise and enriches state officials. At the
same time, as in the criticized V.I. Lenin's naive dreams of socialism of the
old co-operatives do not take into account that in an industrial society small
business always loses to large-scale production, and such criticism was made By
P.-J. Proudhon and the ideologists of workers' bazaars. The big bourgeoisie is
also dissatisfied with capitalism, since it constantly privatizes private
property, and the bourgeois is a class society with elements of slavery and
feudalism with personal dependence of workers. This critique of existing
capitalism for the sake of good capitalism-petty-bourgeois socialism, priest
socialism, reactionary feudal socialism, aristocratic socialism, German, or
true socialism - were brilliantly set forth by K.
Marx and F. Engels in the third Chapter of "Socialist and Communist
literature" of their famous "Manifesto of the Communist party".
A modern example of this reactionary utopian ideology is the image of the
"beautiful Russia of the future", formulated by the bourgeois
oppositionist A.A. Navalny.
Civilizational
neo-industrialism and world theories
The scientific basis of the social ideology of a society that has
overcome the end of history and the end of the cold war can be an integrative
scientific direction in the field of social philosophy, modern Humanities and
social studies "Civilizational neo-industrialism as the fifth world
theory". It comes from the danger of a false civilizational choice under
the influence of an eclectic mix of ideologies and leading world theories.
Since the three leading world theories – liberalism, fascism, and communism –
have been supplemented in recent years by a fourth theory-conservatism, it is
tempting to identify a new social subject of the modern era.
Liberalism assigns this subjective role to the individual at the
post-industrial end of history. Fascism follows the march of nations
transformed from the mass of the people and united by the call of blood.
Communism records the emancipatory mission of the proletariat and its
dictatorship on a world-historical scale or as a weak link in the chain of
capitalist countries. Conservatism, which arises from the confusion of three
world theories, appeals to a single people, which is not allowed, in the words
of N.A. Berdyaev, to slide "back and down". In the context of the
insufficiency of the four world theories, it becomes necessary to introduce a
neo-industrial vector of development, during which the dialectic of
contradictions dooms the post-industrial impasse of global liberalism, the
racial fascist totalitarian myth of the merging of the state and the
individual, and destroys the course of dismantling the social state as a
socialist one.
In theory, civilizational neo-industrialism is a conceptual vanguard
of increased complexity integrative disciplinary scientific course of
geopolitics, political economy of goods and signs of modernity, cultural
studies, social philosophy, epistemology, geopolitics, and the modern history
of philosophy. Civilizational neo-industrialism operates on original material
that was not previously introduced into scientific circulation. It can be
useful for graduate students, teachers of humanities, and analysts of public
services as a tool for developing analytical creative thinking in the field of
philosophical understanding of the problems of the near and distant future of
our country and the whole world.
In fact, the "Russian civilizational neo-industrialism" of
the futurotraditionalists is the ideology of the new proletarians, workers and
intellectuals who have no Fatherland. Futurotraditionalism is the ideology of
the archeomodern, that is, Greater Eurasia, the Third Horde, spread throughout
the world as its progressive pole. The image of Greater Eurasia is archeomodern
or delirium from the point of view of modernity. A.G. Dugin writes in the
presentation of this idea: "Imagine the same Windows computer running the
Macintosh operating system directly on Windows. Will it work? Maybe it will
flash something, but formally the program is correct one, and the second is
also correct, and the installation disk works, and the correct activation codes
for both programs are indicated on the cover, but they do not go together on
the same computer. What is happening on this computer? There is a zone of
uncertainty where anything can happen. One system can defeat another, another
can interfere with the first, they may or may not complete a task. This is
approximately what we have in the archaeomodern" [5].
In this multi-layered delirium, the core of the Russian world acts
as a matryoshka doll, which refers to communism as the past and future. The
integration of the image thanks to the archeomodern brings together
"Russian world" and "pax Americana": the song
"beautiful far away", which amazes Americans and is close to them.
This is our common ideology-not the mythical "beautiful Russia of the future" of empty dreamers, but the directive and planned-achievable
"beautiful far away", or a movement that removes the present state.
K. Marx called this movement the true history or communism.
The world has reached the point where meaningless wordplay around a
person – world civilization, the main path of social development, human
potential, human factor, human capital-becomes dangerous for a person, because
it leads him to the utopia of an imperialist market green world with a green
economy, insists on the desirability and continuity of downshifting as an
escape from culture to ecology. In practice, it turns out that the opposite of
capital is labor, and not the anti-industrial pagan belief in the earth and the
worship of the creative abilities of nature and abstract man. We know that bourgeois
political economy likes "robinsonade". Labor as a source of wealth
and development of a collective person grouped in progressive classes is the
basis of the non-industrial vector of human development in the direction of
ecological socialism. The fifth world theory will unite the most diverse
peoples and civilizations in one progressive movement of mastering nature and
achieving freedom over social necessity. Something similar has already happened
to Russian communism in the twentieth century, when the USSR was the birthplace of all the working people of the Earth. It turned out that a person could
not be reduced to the basic needs of A. Maslow, man must be understood as a
being with first-order sensations (point-sensations), second-order sensations
(chain-sensations), third-order sensations (system-sensations), and finally
fourth-order sensations (sensations of social sensuously supersensible objects,
such as the value of goods). The concept of feelings of a social being and
complex social feelings allowed us to develop the concept of civilizational
neo-industrialism as the fifth world theory.
Since K. Marx created a whole Third continent in the sphere of
scientific knowledge, like C. Darwin, who managed to turn biology into a
science and find patterns in the evolution of living nature, K. Marx also put
an end to the views of society as a chaos of colliding forces and wills, and
discovered objective patterns of social development that follow from a
materialistic understanding of history. Another attempt to create the fourth
continent of psychology was made by Z. Freud. It turned out to be dubious and
scientifically unverifiable due to the fact that it could not be applied to all
human societies, and therefore remained on the verge of therapy, experimental
shamanism, and sometimes Satanism, since it addressed the lower spheres of
human life. It turned out that personality is not quite a mature scientific
construction, and the lack of scientific cultural discourse has left the theory
of personality in a state of immature ideologeme. Here, and to this day, the
unsolved problem of quality criteria in the humanities appears, which we raised
in our publications. Setting this problem and solving it makes it possible to
practically implement the return of Russia to history, and people to social
abstract theory.
And K. Marx, for lack of time and facing the need to develop a
scientific concept of the social revolution of the proletariat as a universal
emancipator of humanity, was forced to leave for future researchers the
prospect of developing a socio-psychological theory of classes and a cultural
theory of personality, the foundations of which he laid in his early works.
These works were unknown to either V.I. Lenin or I.V. Stalin. In his later
works, K. Marx proceeds to study the classes and apparatuses of the state,
thereby creating the basis for a holistic scientific understanding of the
social process.
The
third world war of the new hybrid type
The West declared the third world war in the international community
will go in the areas nanobioimaging simulation. Nano-involves miniaturization
of the element base of computer technology, with the us and China leading the way. Bio-involves the creation of artificial viruses as a combat weapon affecting
the genocode of various ethnic groups and causing panic and destruction of the
economic life of the masses and continents. Info-involves competition in the
field of "big data", "Internet of things" between
"Huawei" and "Microsoft" with the element base
"Intel". Cogni - involves competition of meanings and global projects
Chinese project the future of the planet as a "community of common destiny
of mankind" and the American project of transhumanism, creating controlled
artificial human and reduce the world's population. It means that a war of
civilizations and classes of red China with blue and liberal West (on scale
maps are still Red - our, Blue – the enemy) moves into the sphere of meanings
of war and the struggle for control of meaning, to capture an attractive image
of a common future. These two states address their peoples and the peoples of
the world with a message of meaning for the future. In fact, this is where the
socialist progressive utopia of welfare - for all through hard work and science
- and the bourgeois reactionary dystopia of the end of history collide.
What is the role of Russia, the Russian Federation in this balance
of forces at the beginning of the clash of the dragon and the eagle, what is
the place given to the bear? Today, the Russian Federation is planning its role
as a guard, a guardian of order in the vast expanses of Eurasia, protecting the
rear of China. China, understood as a single society that lives on the
principle of "one country – two systems": red China or China and white China, the Republic of China on Taiwan. In 2020, at the BRICs autumn
session, we saw the clarification of Russia's position in the us cold war
declared by the Peoples Republic of China. Either Russia remains the
"sentinel of Eurasia" like the Soviet Union, which means a reliable
rear of Chinese expansion into the world, or it will become the leading strike
force of American global monopolies. The trouble with Russia is that in addition to national projects, it does not have and does not implement its own
global project. Perhaps such a project, coming from the depths of Russian
history, will be a project of abundance of organic agricultural products for a
single planet? Such a project involves the transformation of Russia into an industrial and innovative power.
From
geopolitics to sky-politics
I.N. Panarin writes that geopolitics in the USSR was in practice, but in theory it was not engaged. He's writing: "In the USSR, they did not formally engage in geopolitics. But in fact, from the first days of Bolshevik
rule, there was a fierce struggle between two geopolitical trends-STALINIST and
LENINIST-TROTSKYIST. As a result of a long-term political confrontation, the
STALINIST geopolitical direction won. Lenin and Trotsky regarded the October
revolution of 1917 as the beginning of the first stage of the world revolution.
They defended the idea of inciting a world revolution, during which it was
supposed to sacrifice the Russian people for the sake of implementing this
first idea of world globalization under the banner of socialism" [10, p.
113].
It is obvious that the drilling and storeroom of the planet will
easily be captured by stronger predators, and therefore, as M. Kalashnikov
writes, the future Russia needs to become not "a storeroom and a drilling
planet, but first of all an industrial and innovative power. Colonel of foreign
intelligence, or classical "order intelligence", sinologist A.P.
Devyatov continues the line of historical materialism in the paradoxical form
of "sky-politics", namely as a product of the order's political
intelligence of the future, where intelligence signs are revealed hidden by
"masking networks of disinformation" hung over the "ears of the
entity". This terminology of the order of the future intelligence is
focused on identifying intelligence signs of changes in time cycles. In
contrast to geopolitics, non-politics records not spatial shifts, but temporal
ones – Chronos (duration), Cyclos (repeated cyclicity), and Kairos (chance) [4,
12]. Representatives of non-politics note that in the pre - industrial society
of subsistence farming, the main wealth was land-agricultural, forest and
hunting grounds. The energy of nature came from the Sun. The main motive to
spend the energy of people's lives (to do work) was the harvest, the offspring
of livestock and the increase in land plots, on which this nature grew. In the
post-industrial society of the knowledge economy, the main wealth will be the
understanding of the meaning of being in the form of the ability of people to
build a series (chain) of consecutive steps from any starting position to the
desired result. According to the slogan "Who owns information, owns the
world", because through the meanings you can control the entire process of
being.
The peasant on Russian soil here gets the advantages of history – he
knows the sacred meaning of his work, but does not use it, because an alien
state in the person of functionaries does not meet and does not own this
meaning. But as soon as the state sounds a soft "brothers and
sisters", the energy of the Russian people and the Russian peasantry will
come into a seething creative movement.
Since the capture of the future through the creation of new life
meanings implies the liberation of the individual from information dependence
in the culture of the world of information flood, information
counter-reformation is necessary. This historical procedure does not constitute
an informational counter-revolution. On the contrary, it allows those who have
passed its crucible to pass to the new Noah's ark, which Russia has every chance of becoming. The next stage of interaction between the new ark people will
be the confrontation of social and ethical systems. Overcoming the
confrontation of value systems is possible in civilizational neo-industrialism,
which will allow you to escape from the ulcers of capitalist development. The
development of life meanings cannot be spontaneous and requires careful
management, since it is possible to develop in the direction of fascist
corporate meanings, neoliberal ideology of consumerism, and other variants of
the theological, that is, secular state ideology. In other words, we need a
scientific cultural expertise of meaning formation. We have already offered our
own version of expertise at cultural congresses in Russia. Unfortunately, the
cultural association of the country ordered to live for a long time and
congresses are no longer held. However, the relevance of cultural expertise has
only increased due to the lack of a global project of the country,
state ideology, which raises the question of a particularly acute – is it a
sovereign country or a trading company offering oil and gas for export?
Today, our country is once again at a turning point in history. At
the same time, the main danger for the Russian state is regional separatism and
the lack of its own global project: there is the failed liberal project of
entering Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok and the red project rejected in
1991. This is what causes the greatest concern of citizens – it is not clear
what country we live in, what is the super-task of this country, whether it is
a country or a trading company that sells oil and gas and, depending on this,
builds its foreign and domestic policy. We are talking about our spiritual
security, which can only be provided by the existence of the highest values
recognized by the people-values for which you can fight and die.
The Russian Federation should become a historical Russia-enter Europe or become a Greater Eurasia, restore the red project or take part in the Western
liberal project of building a New Babylon, the New Caliphate project, the
Eternal Israel project, the Great Europe project, etc. However, the
implementation of any of these projects is hindered by the source of
separatism-the hypertrophied center-Moscow, Federal parties that do not fight
for the regions, do not represent their interests. The edges – the North and
the far East-fall away. The security of the people and the creation of a global
project of Russia require that The State Duma and the Senate, in the new
historical conditions of the adopted amendments to the Constitution, be rigidly
formed on the basis of regional representation, that is, regions and villagers,
and direct elections of their representatives to state authorities.
Since Atlanticism and liberal individualism are losing,
historically, the Pacific is winning - the red project of the common destiny of
mankind with the Asian mode of production, two-circuit monetary exchange,
accumulation of wealth without expanded reproduction of consumer goods. In the
new world, the main thing is not to forget to be human. A person is destroyed
in an antagonistic society through alienation and this was shown by the young
K. Marx, in the "Economic and philosophical manuscripts of 1844", and
later in "Capital", proved in a scientific study how the
dehumanization of man is carried out and how it can be overcome by
revolutionary practice, when people as brothers will live in a single human
community. The question of fraternity is directly related to Marxism and its
theory of class struggle and social revolution. Recognizing, for example,
social rent as one of the types of unearned and, consequently, unfair sources
of enrichment for specific categories of citizens. Marx advocated for its redistribution
for the benefit of society in General: "peace to the cottages - war to the
palaces". However, he also did not forget about peaceful methods. Entering
the true history of the prehistory of mankind begins today and represents an
era of struggle between capitalism and communism, not only on the fronts of
digital society, but primarily in the souls of people [6].
In any case, the idea of the formation of a post-capitalist society,
which is sometimes called rent-based or super-capitalist, and sometimes
socialist, is generally accepted today, but it is already clear that we may see
the "end of the liberal turn of civilization" [11, p.355].
