I would summarize it as this… Business is business, but god must run central banks. State itself has to have a split personality, an idealistic Medvedev trying to build utopia, and a Putin that eats jackals for breakfast. The perfect state is a castle wall, with the wolves outside and the innocents inside, however almost without exception, in this imperfect world, the wolves have raided the treasury, and that’s why normal citizens now feel safer outside the castle walls. Governments globally and democracy itself has lost credibility, with youth that now don’t stand a chance in hell of making it in this system that their “leaders” created. While criminals in power could embezzle from the community, this system worked, but now that they have destroyed community, destroyed family units, and created a whole generation of lost people, what seems clear is that these same criminals now have no idea how to fix it. I’m not talking about Russia… I talking about this whole miserable planet these bankers have created. The global system is completely broken, and its wasting people, it stole too much, and killed the golden goose. If state is a measure of how happy your people are, what a failure this world is, with puppet leaders working for criminal bankers above fake democracy. Let us vote for our central bank governors, its painfully obvious now that they run most countries, and are doing a dreadful job. Russia is right to look at the whole system anew, because now most people want to live outside the castle walls. I’m one of them, would I trade my engineering degrees, business degrees, masters degrees, business and house in the city, for an isolated little community and a log cabin buried deep in a Siberian forest, you bet, because this insane illicit jungle is out of control, and this is from someone that used to be a fervent capitalist.
