Exxon Mobil was ordered Venezuelan oil 50 years, until the nationalization in ' 76. Then what is interesting? Caracas in the era of ehksona and military dictatorships was a prosperous city and all of Venezuela: a rapid housing, expensive cars, Bohemia and glamour. For some, not for all. Then petrodollars is over - the country fell into total misery... However, under Hugo Chavez, the country did not get rid of the oil stranglehold. And still 95% of the income from oil. Still no new industries, no clear state planning. Still maneuvering and compromise with the oligarchy... At some point, even the most compelling and obvious references to a "hairy hand" of the state Department, simply cease to work as stop working any half-measures.

Regardless of geography, behind the Fig leaf of "historical reconciliation" lies a simple task - based on the pre-Soviet past, to keep the post-Soviet liberal economic order, the findings on the "bones" of the Soviet Union privatization. If it needs to Bandera - Bandera amiss, and if Vlasov - Vlasov amiss. Yes, even to Malyuta Skuratov. What's the difference?

Why are some rich and others poor? Because some stole from others. They are rich because they stole. They are smart, talented, hardworking... thieves. This is not idealism. A materialistic answer. Because you can always vechicles: how, by whom, when and from whom stolen. The object of theft, and therefore a source of wealth is the unpaid labor and deceived consumers. Want to get rich - think at whose expense.

The word Revolution is almost banned. The figure. The Museum, the whole city and the whole country now - the territory of restoration and reaction. Overfed belly vending city of St. Petersburg displaces the last memories of Leningrad. Like the concrete sets and hardens a new mythology. If do not ever shoot "Aurora", not waving a revolver sailor Zhelezniak, not freezing the guard in front of Smolny. October? A historical mistake. Remember. Some unknown, Satan, the dark forces have stormed the Winter, to befoul his shining halls, 70 years to plunge the entire country into a vortex of horror and suffering, and then disappear forever.

I am surprised that in our modern movie all characters speak solely as psychiatric patients. Nobody is talking slowly, no pauses between words. They do all suffer from some nervous, some kind of mental illness. They have to shout. If a person is in love, he will shout about it all over the country; if he is indignant at what he loses, he will bite the bullet, his face is a wry grimace. Throughout this gallery, the individual would not no normal recognizable human face.

"Ten years after the start of the great Recession, we are moving again on the rocks. It is important to understand that the reason for the previous falls was not just a banking crisis, but in a growing gap between consumer spending and the overall production, which in turn caused by low incomes and growing inequality." (C) Robert Reich, former U.S. labor Secretary.
In other words, produce can and a lot a lot, and buy no one and nothing, because the people - whether in Argentina, USA and Mongolia - there is simply no money. Classic crisis of capitalism, out of which capitalism seeks only one thing: the belt-tightening - reduction of expenses on pensions, health care, science, education. The continuing growth of inequality - that is another sign of the year.

Quote on the Munich report: Today the Foundation of the liberal world order tremble under the pressure. And the main threat comes from where it least expected. As wrote John Ikenberry: "the Most powerful country in the world to sabotage the order, which is itself created.

Religion protects human. It protects human values, human way. The development of capitalist relations inevitably leads to the objectification of man, to the transformation of man into a commodity, to transform the human mechanism into a thing, into the exchange unit. And in this sense all world religions, is threatened with the same fate as what happened to the cults of the Indians after colonization. And this is happening. They understand it, they have no flock, they have nothing, and even, in fact, the capitalists-they are no longer needed. Their opium is useless, nobody needs it. He only needed the man to preserve his human form.
