The power of the emperor, and the state had a paternal influence on Japanese society. Every government must take care of its Remids, including every sovereign government (especially former historical nomads), otherwise, it will lose centralization. Centralization is the main value of all people. Without centralization, there will be a quick end. Rapid disintegration under the influence of tribal or feudal culture. This is called a fraternal massacre (and the Kazakhs did not fully survive the zeref reflection) The market excites degradation, especially if the people have never had so-called citizens. Citizens appeared all over the world when people had private property. Then these citizens fought for democracy. If the people have never known private property, and the nomads have never known it, then the people are always threatened with a fraternal massacre. It is the state that saves from the massacre.
The state may not be able to stand it, the state is just a form of organization of people. Unless, of course, the government will continue reforms based on the traditional (primitive) personnel policy. The future of this state depends on which people are at the top. Either the state or death! If people still remember, even symbolically, and ritually, their kind, this is the greatest danger. Each physical majority forms its own leaders.
If market reflection penetrates into people who are not independent, complexed, but immediately militant and proud, these people will only accumulate material values to show their superiority. This is a primal quality. Therefore, the value of reflection is in the first place here.
What is nationalism? This is a massive desire to dominate yesterdays artisans, townspeople, and peasants. They were humiliated by the traditional elite. Now they want to humiliate, and put any arrogant president in his place.
If feudal consciousness meets with market nationalism, then it turns out not a mass of free citizens as in Europe, but only a mass of feudal lords. And feudal lords always tear the state apart. The feudal lords of the state do not need anything. Its wet in the yard, start over.
Chapter 5
The voice of blood
It is very far to Japan from Kazakhstan. Despite such a distance since the Kazakhs from the Union time were well aware of the Japanese. First of all, they knew according about the famous Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi cars, these cars began to arrive in Kazakhstan en masse from the beginning of the 90s, when the USSR collapsed. Before that, everyone knew Japan by its world-famous electronics. In the late 70s and early 80s, nothing better than Sony and Toshiba items were produced in the world so all Kazakhs thought.
For the mass of viewers, Japan was known for films such as The Death of Japan, The Legend of the Dinosaur, and The Legend of Narayama. If the film Legend of Narayama was a wonderful illustration of feudal Japan, then movies with the participation of Takeshi Kitano showed the character of the Japanese of all times.
In 2003, the Warner Bros company film The Last Samurai was released with the participation of Ken Watanabe and Tom Cruise. The last samurai Moritsugu Katsumoto interested in the exploits of the Indians against the Americans from Captain Nathan Algren.
Despite all the pathos of the film, the Japanese could repeat the fate of the Indians. But the samurai lost in the Boshin war to the forces of the emperor. Is it possible to say that modern Japan is a blessing than the folklore savagery of the past? All modern Kazakhs will say with one voice that modern Japan is cool, you cant think of a better one. What happened in Japan that Kazakhs lack? There are Kazakh patriots who would dream of a Japanese fate for the Kazakhs. Such Kazakhs are ready to blame Russia and the USSR for why Kazakhs did not become like the Japanese.
But is this really the case?
Could Kazakhs follow the path of Japanese Meiji and create a Kazakh miracle long before the world-famous economic miracle in Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, or at least repeat the path of the Southeastern tigers?
Why did the people of pure blood lose to the people of pure reason?
The principle of pure blood is suitable in the fight against pure blood when a tribe opposes another tribe. If the people of blood do not have a seer to overcome the voice of kinship, the voice of blood is bad for folk. To do this, every people must have a monarch and his undivided authority. If a person of blood has many leaders, these people will never break out of primitiveness. The Japanese had an emperor in 1867. Visionary officials gathered around the emperor. They went to Europe and the USA and returned to Japan, the Japanese began to wildly copy everything European, all the creations of pure reason. The Japanese have no less personal vanity than the Kazakhs. But the personal anarchy of every Japanese was limited by the power of the emperor not so that each of the Japanese could show off an expensive dress or a katana from a famous master. The Japanese have turned into one samurai. The Japanese have become a nation in one generation. This incredible leap from savagery cost the Japanese many victims, but the Japanese turned into the Japanese that the world knows today. The Japanese have no problems with the language. No Japanese person would ever think of asking guests to speak Japanese. The Japanese know when to use the voice of blood, and when the voice of reason. This balance is also familiar to Kazakhs but the existing Kazakh inertia is not the merit of the Kazakhs, its as if we continue to roam like former nomads even living in cities today. Moreover, there is a current of nationalists who want to put the voice of blood ahead of the voice of reason. In the 21st century, this means only one thing the bad way of the Indians. This means control by the external mind of the Kazakh instincts of the voice of blood.
Chapter 6
Adequacy and efficiency of the Japanese elite
On July 8, 1853, the American squadron of Commodore Matthew Perry anchored in Uraga Bay near Edo. Japanese officials already knew about the approaching threat, but they did not have time to prepare. The bureaucratic apparatus of the Tokugawa Shogunate is mired in formalism and the inactivity of officials. The old shogun entrusted the affairs to his minister.
Why did a formidable military squadron land on the shores of Japan?
Japan continued its self-isolation regime. The closure of Japan the Sakoku regime happened because of aggressive, too arrogant behavior according to the shogun of the Portugal Jesuits in the XVII century. Since then, foreign ships could not enter ports, replenish food and water supplies, whaling ships were shipwrecked, and the Japanese arrested the surviving sailors. Now Commodore Matthew Parry had instructions from President Millard Fillmore to force the Japanese to trade by force.
Surprised Japanese for the first time saw innovative American ships releasing black smoke. In order for the Japanese to understand everything, the Americans made an empty hall of guns for suggestions. Of course, after such a show, the Japanese accepted Perrys delimitation according to all the canons of Japanese diplomacy. However, at first, they played the game who are you? when minor officials talked to Perry. Perry realized this, so he ordered the Peisan cannons to be uncovered.
What to do? The Japanese tried to save face they referred to the shoguns illness. Perry agreed to wait one year.
