... socialism as an alternative to capitalism was blown away pretty quickly. It is now generally accepted that the "great social utopias" suffered a final collapse at the end of the last century, with the destruction of the USSR and the socialist bloc. In fact, already in the sixties, the same USSR was not a "society of victorious utopia" in any way. It was a completely recognizable society of under-consumption, reminiscent of similar societies in the middle-developed countries of the Third World. The difference with the "third world" was that the Soviet people suffered not from a lack of money, but from a lack of goods. But the essence was the same: the basic social structures of Soviet society were, in general, similar to those in the West, only there were fewer resources. The Soviet people suffered severely from this, as people suffer from any discrepancy. By the way, now that Russia has finally been thrown into the third world, there is more suffering from hunger, cold, hopelessness, but less from inconsistency. There is poverty all around, there is also poverty inside, there are no prospects, but there are no false hopes either. "Everything is smooth." The world is in balance.

Yes. This is how inspiration dictates:
My Free Dream
Everything is poured to where the humiliation is,
Where is the dirt, and the darkness, and the poverty.
There, there, humble, below, -
From there, the visible world is different...

At a certain stage of need, the poor man, stupid, no longer complains about evil and does not thank for the good.

Having reached the last extreme, the man, no longer understanding, grabs the most extreme means. Woe to the defenseless creatures around him! He has no more work, no earnings, no bread, no fuel, no courage, no goodwill; he immediately loses everything. Outside, daylight is extinguished, inside - a moral torch.

- Come here, Tristan!
- I hasten to hear the commands, although I am ashamed of my pants. Your secretary, my benefactor, has been stranded for a long time. And it's bad if the caballero lackey holds a scumbace.

The terrible poverty and degradation of people in the villages, the plight of pensioners, the rapidly growing gap between the poor and the rich, and unrealistically high prices are upsetting. All of this, in the end, can lead to a social explosion. After all, it has long been known that freedom and democracy in the hands of spineless sycophants and patented fools are more terrible than Bolshevism.

People hate it abundance of. They want to live in poverty. In any poverty. Financial, spiritual, but in poverty, when you have no elections, and there is ONE thing that you don't have to, God forbid, think.
That is, if the ideal of beauty, it is ONE. And look at human history. If you go at different times, we see that each time you pull one standard of beauty. Why? Because someone evil came and planted the standard of beauty? No. Because people hate luxury and abundance. Because luxury and abundance - demanding. They make you think and live.

Question: Why the gifts of fortune (e.g., wealth) God gives to those who, apparently, didn't deserve it?
Answer: It looks like the bounty and mercy only in the eyes of those who sees nothing but the present moment; but know that wealth is a test is often more dangerous than poverty.
