2.  Democracy. Representative democracy though is better than any form of dictatorship, is not a sacred cow; it is neither a panacea nor even a recipe. Democracy is allowing an enormous degree of property and income extortions from the hardworking people, who on the contrary to all modern days societal arrangements, made it to a relative prosperity. "One man - one vote" is a clear-cut recipe for a social robbery through income redistribution since poorer people (poor and middle classes with envy for social guarantees), not even mentioning the State bureaucracy, are always eager to make a living, partially or entirely, on account of the richer people and since poorer people or those who consider themselves to be poorer or even simply those who would envy to make a living (partially or entirely) on account of the other people are always in majority and there is not a single social limitation for all that under representative democracy, none whatsoever. Owing to universal suffrage the poorer people or at least those who pretend to represent their interests in modern economically developed society are very strong socially. Taken separately some of them or even majority of them might be somewhat weak and poor, but they are rather strong, both socially and economically, taken together and particularly taken together with the state bureaucracy. Otherwise, they would not be able to extract enormous financial resources, going today to income redistribution, from the State, from multinational corporations and from more affluent people utilizing mechanisms of power and coercion. On the other hand, with half of GDP made for the State (in taxes) and with the other half controlled by the State (through governmental orders, procurement and regulations), where can we squeeze in democracy in this kind of power balance?  

3.  Market economy. Economy totally dependent on governmental orders and regulations and wasting around half of its resources on coercive payments (taxation) to the most inefficient proprietor ever – the State – is not a market economy. It rather represents a pure version of socialism.

4.  Patriotism. Patriotism is having its good limit in a simple fact that one has to pay enormous taxes to the State and state bureaucracy, which later on will be wasted in the most inefficient, unjust and despicable manner. None foreign country does have any direct claims on our money. Sometimes, using patriotism the State even wants people to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of its non-socialized financial interests.

5.  Social justice. Hard earned money forcibly expropriated from the hard working people and redistributed with enormous economic waste to the most inefficient social group ever – state bureaucracy - does not look like “social justice”. This very much smells like social robbery.

6.  Social harmony. Hard earned money coercively expropriated from the hard working people and redistributed with enormous inefficiency, economic waste and accelerating sate domination in society, in order to keep certain parts of population fed and away from atrocious, unscrupulous and uncontrollable social rebellion in the best case represent a remote illusion of social harmony, while in the worst - this is portraying a forthcoming social catastrophe.

7.  Individualism. Individualism, probably, is not even considered as a social value anymore (may be only with an exception of some parts of the United States). We rather need a good solemn collectivist, a “team player”, who is nice on the outside, who complies, who obeys, who does not think too much, who resembles us in various dimensions, who easily fits in, who is not particularly independent, who is bondable by money grabbing, career or idealistic considerations and who can sell any junk with pleasant manners and with a smile on his face.

8.  Equality. Equality generally is an extremely controversial and an awfully abused social or rather socialist value – first of all because it is very hard to reach an agreement on what equality really means. Huge and uncontrollable income redistributions mostly in favor of the top-level state bureaucracy based on non-socialized exclusive privileges and benefits (majority of which are not even counted as bureaucracy's income such as "public" offices, transportation, business traveling, wining and dining, bargaining and contracting influence, employment opportunities for friends and relatives, promotion and fundraising for affiliated political parties, after-the-office out-of-government employment opportunities, etc. etc. etc.); extraordinary and ever growing significance of social ties and personal connections for succeeding in life devastatingly crowding out an importance of skills, qualifications and hard work; comprehensive abuse of income redistributions and social benefits; preferential conditions for would be "social minorities" (which in fact already are in great majority taken all together) and serious obstacles for free production factors’ flows owing to enormous taxation, extraordinary income redistribution and massive state regulation and therefore for an application of personal talents in the most efficient and productive way are driving further and further away from our society both equality in income (consumption) and equality of opportunities.

9.  Freedom (freedom of expression). In the modern world one is free to express himself mostly if he is not interacting in any way with other human beings, and particularly if he does not have to work, if he is not in any kind of business and if he is not engaged in any social activities. Otherwise, the freedom of expression is enormously undermined by our financial and social interests, by dominating idealistic "social values" and by a comprehensive influence of the State in our society, including influence upon our employers and business partners. Criticizing the State as such, the governance system as a whole (not merely the government) and the present day “social values” just like in the 16th century will most probably cost You a job, a career and the business opportunities; unlike in the 16th century - today it will probably not cost You a life.

10. Rule of law. Ideally there is nothing wrong with the rule of law - vice a versa it is absolutely essential no matter what, moreover that any law breaking and incompliance usually leads to violent social actions and to even more unpleasant social regimes. However, we must clearly understand that the law being a part of social infrastructure is merely marking down on paper fixed in time balance of power in society; it does not create any social system or any property regime. Among other things, the law and the entire social infrastructure (society) are always protecting exclusive, based on power and coercion, privileges, benefits and incomes of certain groups of population (which got more power in that balance and more resources to make that power) on account of the other people. Law once protected slavery in ancient Rome, nazi regime in Germany and communist massacres in former Soviet Union. Today it is protecting enormous non-socialized and permanently growing property (income) expropriations from the hard working people normally in favor of the most inefficient state bureaucracies.

11. International community. World filled with repulsive societal regimes (dictatorships, semi-dictatorships and cosmetic democracies) directed against their own people and lead by bureaucratic, incapable, impotent, corrupted and reactionary international agencies and organizations does not represent any kind of community.

12. International development. Buying of political leaders in foreign countries associated with perverse social regimes in pursuit either of would be “national interests” (which mostly reflect non-socialized material interests of the top-level state bureaucracies) or of unsustainable idealized “social values” has nothing to do with international development. This more sounds as a conservation of poverty, of repugnant societal systems, as international regress and as eradication in underdeveloped societies of any trust in any social principles. Moreover, that it is exactly the people in underdeveloped countries, who have to suffer the most from our socialist experiments leading to extreme income redistributions and enormous state domination both at home and in their countries, from imposed on them our "social" or rather socialist values and from our sucking up to their repugnant homeland social regimes. In economically developed countries, even if the State takes half of our income, we can still struggle through the life. But over there, taking away their income, but mostly not allowing people to generate any income because of the comprehensive corruption and ideological dogmas dominating any poor society and enforced by international aid, the State is literally destroying their lives.

Today in any economically developed country we are having the same kind of all-embracing social mendacity, which once dominated and destroyed a former Soviet Union. And it can only mean one thing - with our socialism we are closer and closer to that kind of society. Our proclaimed values are more and more turning into a bleak illusion, which is further and further away from reality and which is based in the best case on unsustainable social idealism, while in the worst - on hypocrisy and social mendacity. We simply do not have any real, tangible and uncorrupted social values and social principles left anymore. People in Soviet Union were also considering their country as the most democratic, fairest and socially harmonized society based on total equality. All of which turned out to be just one big bubble of lie sold by the State and state ideologists to the people and blown away in no time together with underlying it social order, nation, country and patriotism. Today the State is trying to sell the same ideological trash to western civilization and, well, it is remarkably successful in that!  

Idealistic values	Real statement of things
	Former Soviet Union (communist society)	Modern economically developed society
Hard work	Slavery for the State and for State dictators	Hard work for the state bureaucracy and for people addicted to coercive welfare, unless we are proficient in mendacity, kissing up, hypocrisy, in adaptation to circumstances and in “socializing”. Particularly one needs all these qualities in dealing with the State in order to get those huge and wasteful state financial resources. An example of seemingly “hard work” is our employment system, which is probably even more stubborn and rigid than the communist one. Besides various and enormous problems, which companies are encountering if they want to get rid of our “hard work”, we have absolutely similar to communist system unemployment or welfare payments for a lifetime. The only difference is that under communism people had to work in order to get lifetime income, while we can sit home and enjoy lifetime guarantees, which somebody is paying for us
Democracy	In official ideology – the most democratic society in the world. In fact the most severe dictatorship ever known in the history of mankind	In official ideology – democracy is a sacred cow, a kind of ideological banner associated with complete realization of social justice, which suppose to symbolize the final achievement of civilization. In reality it is rather so far yet mild, sophisticated and civilized dictatorship of the top-level state bureaucracy – dictatorship of representatives
Patriotism	Was utilized exclusively for people’s enslavement in order to extort from them enormous financial resources for internal consumption of the communist party chief and of the top-level state bureaucracy	Is utilized for weakening of people’s counteraction to the State and to the state monopoly and for extortion from them of enormous financial resources for internal consumption of the top-level state bureaucracy
Economy	Economy based on single economic proprietor and on single economic agent in society – the State	Economy based on massive and ever growing coercive expropriations of private property (income), on huge and ever growing State property (with state expenditures being in a range of 40-60 percents of GDP), on economic, social and political dependence of all economic agents upon state orders and regulations and finally on permanently diminishing share of private property in economy and society.
Social justice	Nature of society stands in expropriation of whatever financial resources from the people and in redistribution of those resources to top-level state bureaucracy with utilization of the mechanisms of power and coercion (combination of direct coercion, taxation and monopolistic prices) very often at the cost of human lives (especially at the initial stages of communism)	Nature of society is more and more limited to expropriation of ever growing financial resources from the people and their redistribution to top-level state bureaucracy with utilization of the mechanisms of power and coercion (taxation) under ideological pretext of raising social justice and social welfare
Social harmony	Social harmony initially was interposed by physical extermination not only of any active and passive opposition to the regime but also of any signs of household level incompliance with any part of official ideology and active brainwashing of a new generation. Later on social harmony was supported by a combination of visual equality (equality in poverty), extensive social guarantees (two latter factors being associated with extraordinary income redistribution) and by a threat of mechanisms of coercion	Social harmony is supported by extraordinary and permanently growing income expropriations and redistributions, which are constantly elevating state revenues, incomes and benefits of the state bureaucracy and state domination in society
Equality	In official ideology - absolute and complete equality among all members of society. Never in the history of mankind, however, have existed more inequality - when all national productive property (state property) and all state revenues in real terms were privately owned by only one person (communist party chief) or at most by the narrowest circle of his associates, while all other people were prohibited to hold any productive property	In official ideology - equality suppose to be one of the major goals of society. Achievement of this goal, however, leads to coercive expropriation of people’s property (income) very close in its nature if not absolutely similar to robbery, which in fact is not only hardly leading to any kind of equality, but which is, vice a versa, increasing inequality redirecting coercively expropriated money towards unearned and non-socialized benefits of top-level State bureaucracy, significantly elevating inequality in terms of social ties and personal connections and stimulating an addiction of people and society to social parasitism (living on coercively expropriated financial resources)
Freedom	Pure slavery (concentration camps) with the most compulsory labor relations at the initial stages. Afterwards when older generations, which knew another life were either exterminated or disappeared naturally, while new generations were brainwashed in new ideology - more freedom on household level and in choice of occupation was allowed, though, none in public and none in terms of private property rights	Superficial, illusory and mostly household level freedom of expression. Any freedom of expression in public is enormously undermined by people and business’ dependence upon the State (as the most important buyer in economy, as the largest proprietor and as a final source of coercion) and upon unsustainable idealistic “social values” in which people are equally brainwashed from an early childhood. All this leads to all-embracing social idealism, social mendacity and social hypocrisy.
Law	Official law bearing some kind of external glowing was a pure decoration for the system – real law enacted in communist party’s orders and directives was clandestine and mostly kept secret, except for social security provisions. The one and the only function of law was to protect colossal income and property expropriations in favor of communist dictators and of their associates	Idea of law or of the “rule of law” being pretty much abused is still bearing some glowing and decorative function in order to protect, among other things, non-socialized, unearned and permanently growing revenues of the top-level State bureaucracies
International order	Ideological proclamations of “friendship and brotherhood of people of different nations” in fact meant enhancement of dictatorships and state bureaucracies, corruption, inefficiency, poverty and repressions in “friendly” countries and in ideological aliens	Ideological proclamations of “self-determination, international order and international cooperation” in fact mean imposing upon underdeveloped societies of the socialist values and socialist recipes governing modern economically developed society and enforcement in underdeveloped world of the state domination, corruption and dictatorial trends rather severe there even without our interference

Ever growing resemblance between the two social systems is based on the simplest logical foundation - fundamental difference between them is not a qualitative, but purely quantitative one in terms of how much of the state domination over people and property or how much of the state dictate persevere in society. Representative democracy merely means that the state domination is less vivid than under dictatorship and that property rights on the state property and on mechanisms of power and coercion are more dispersed and belong to a small group of people (to top-level state bureaucracy or to representatives) and not to a one single person – dictator - as it is the case under dictatorship. While the group control (even of a very small group) is more rational, less subject to passions and emotions and is always weakened by internal contradictions between private interests of members of the group.

Ever growing resemblance between the two social systems is exhibiting the simplest fact - our society is going down the drain with permanently accelerating pace. Unfortunately, today there are no other words to describe that. Much more unfortunate is that already it is most unlikely that it can be saved.

 It all started from 2-3% share of state revenues (expenditures) in GDP in 19th century and now in majority of economically developed countries this share is approaching to 60%. Several former communist countries had 80% or so. 80% is a pure communism; our 60% is already a point of no return – undivided domination of the State, of corruption, of mendacity and hypocrisy, of inefficiency, of social parasitism and of pure social and economic waste.  

And why can’t we save our society – the peak of all our hopes and aspirations? Basically for two simple reasons.

First, it is very difficult to talk about any interventions in the mechanism of society including interventions in order to improve something, because society is not about logic and reason, society is about interests and power. We have an objective balance of power in society, which owing to representative democracy is more and more leaning towards socialism with a logical absurd end – the communism. And with our 60% share of state revenues in GDP and with all-embracing state regulation of the rest 40% we are almost there.

Because huge and expensive ideological apparatus is always working in order to brainwash, to fool, to trick, to coerce, to buy or to persuade people in some other way and to disallow sober apprehension of social realities, majority of people never understand a nature of the State and a nature of society. Our single hope is that, somehow, we can influence not only people’s apprehension of the nature of society but much more importantly their apprehension of their own interests - because obviously if a person works hard and then somebody coercively takes away 40-50 percents of his earnings (in taxes) and he does not rebel - something must be wrong with his apprehension of his own interests.   

Second, even if we will be so optimistic (or better to say “idealistic”) and believe that we can convince people to come to reason without any reality shocks, it will take a lot of time, while social parasitism, legal corruption, inefficiency, social mendacity and state domination in society are not staying in tact but are permanently accelerating and it is most unlikely that we still have that time.

We can never imagine in what way countries or societal constructions will be destroyed, though we definitely know owing to what factors modern or historical societies are being obliterated (overflowing social parasitism, downgrading of business, devastating immigration, terrorist attacks, influence of less civilized countries and social regimes, etc.). Inefficient societies are always vanishing just like any waste in the Universe. While our society loosing all its values and drowning in all-penetrating inefficiency, astonishing social parasitism and comprehensive lawful corruption is no more able to defend itself or its values even at home, not mentioning globally or Universally.
