But when the Athenian democracy was in full bloom of power, all the Athenians wanted to have a family. Therefore, the Athenian democracy, although it is so-called, is still one of the subspecies of the traditional world, the traditional system. It’s just that democracy expands the number of applicants for elite status. In a democracy, money in the form of funds comes first. So, there was also bribery. Honorary citizenship could be bought. Or just citizenship. Because in Athens, the ancient tribal elite still ruled. It was the elite that the merchants and artisans wanted to drive out all the time. As long as they were unable to expel them, there was no way they could gain civil independence. So, that no one can say: Who are you?
Glossary:
The Zeref- a traditional person with rigidly set social actions, low reflection almost zero, hence the word zeref-reflection zero (zeref).). Has no semitones, serves the idols of the genus, communicates in the circle of native blood. Zeref has no semitones of perception, is categorical, irreconcilable, hostile to others and to another opinion in the development of rejection of “not your own”
The zeref ‘s loop – the baby boom, overheating of the population.
The Zerot (zeroot = zeref+root) – the traditional feudal elite
Zerot’s loop – the creating a solid cast, impenetrable social barriers. None of the lower castes can enter the feudal elite. The lack of social mobility pre-revolutionary situation.
The Remid – a new traditional elite, rulers, officials, authorities, teachers; Remid put actions for Zerefs, determine morality, laws, politics, reflection average-middle (remiddle).
The remid’s loop – the struggle of the elite with the brightest personality, the collusion of second and third parties against the hero and the prophet.
The Refag- person of a trading civilization in several generations, reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian refag (re + high).
The Zeremid is man of the first generation of traditional elites (or city, fresh citizen), has a half-hard social reflex custom, neither the inferiority complex that wants to cover up, so invents a new ancestry, creates fine root, and it has the fancy “tail” behind. If this is a modern Zeremid, it is usually a former villager who has mastered the culture of urban life superficially, he is half urban and half rural.
The first generation to undergo industrial and cultural modernization
Zefa is a man from the first generation of the city with inclinations towards the market and speculation, and to trade, at least what, he was forced by circumstances. The bourgeois stratum of socialist citizens who quickly converted to market morality.
The zeremid’s loop – the Zeremids are approximate imitators. They imitate the elite, any idea, any direction just to be good for their families. By imitation, hypocrisy, and even fanaticism, they harm any cause, state, or idea. The hypocrisy, pharisaism, fanaticism, the adjustment of marginal strata to the existing idea and order. When the elite religious organizations from governments accumulate the Zeremids, there is stagnation and crisis. The collapse of the idea and system of Zeremids conformity inevitable. They adapt to the system for the sole purpose of supporting their family. That is, they do the same thing as the Zerefs, but for this, they want to get into the elite, the privileged stratum, or the state system, they quickly learn, master new skills, and imitate the formal standards of idea and responsibility.
The Zelot is a superman, a hero, a prophet, the most gifted among the traditional elite. A Zelot is an ambitious but disinterested person, he is a fighter against the traditional elite (Zerots), with Pharisee officials (Remids, Zeremids), with the people, if the peoples are obsessed with dark passions.
Chapter VII
Land and water. What the empire consists of.
Once upon a time, Xerxes sent the Greeks parliamentarians. The parliamentarians told the Greeks “Land and water!”
The Greeks responded: We will not give anything.
Greece has been unable to create an Empire in every sense of the meaning of the word. Although the main criterion of the empire is the seizure of land, a large territory, super the area, although perhaps only a small part of this area is suitable for cultivation and exploitation.
For the pagan superman, the utilitarian part of his conquests is not essential, for the superman, the super territory is important as a guarantee that this Zelot will be compared to the gods. If his descendants will be represented as gods, then superman has fulfilled his super task.
Although in the pursuit of size, the Zelot often forgets to start a family. This is how he wants to appear as God. So great is his super-task in him. In fact, that is why he is a superman. All the conquered peoples, every Zeref, would be against the rule of a new ruler. And their rulers themselves want to be gods, calling on their people to go with them to fight against the stranger, scaring the Zerefs that they will no longer be able to pray to their gods, the gods which will die together with the aborigine and will not be able to help their people create families, have children. You will be enslaved! And the slaves have no family, no children!
What could be clearer than such a bleak prospect? And if the local natives go to battle with a foreign Zelot, what else can they do? With the mass of their small family interests, as if to block the ambition of another zealot, and to support the egoism of its aristocracy.
But superman is superman because superman must be confronted by the same a superman, otherwise, no mass of his relatives and people will save the local Zelot from defeat. So, the huge human mass of the peoples conquered by the Persians could not protect Darius III from death. Because Darius III was not a superman. And the mass of his Zerefs found a loophole for their small tasks.
Who cares who rules us? If the new Zelot promises the Zerefs not to touch anyone, just to change the administration, why should they fight with him? So they will solve all the Zerefs and sell their old master? Then such peoples can be taken with bare hands. Although the military leaders of Darius tried to lead the conquered peoples to battle with a cruel whip. Cruelty is also valid. Under the penalty of punishment, the Zerefs also go into battle. They do not yet know who will defeat, their Zerots-their own king or someone else’s king. Every local dictator is obliged to conceal any of the defeat of his troops. So, that the peoples conquered by him do not run over to the victor in advance in their small souls.
Napoleon, for example, could have taken Russia after the Battle of Borodino. The battlefield remains for the winner. Napoleon then took Moscow, which was abandoned by the Russian tsar and administration. If in the time of Napoleon there was a modern connection and the whole people would have learned about the tsar’s abandonment of Moscow, then Kutuzov would have had no place to recruit soldiers, some of them would have fled in different directions, and the horses would have died, the peasants would have beaten Kutuzov’s rear services, and not Napoleon’s quartermasters. The Zerefs don’t care who rules them. Just to create a family and continue your family they don’t need anything else.
Then it was still unknown what tasks the local administration sets each Zerot. Everybody hopes to make friends with a new conqueror. The only one who remains with the unfortunate local dictator is his relatives, the same small cell of the meaning of life of all traditional people.
