СКАЧАТЬ their status with the root but literally build a palace. The palace of the Zerot-tribal nobility should be larger, wider, richer than the dwellings of ordinary members of the community. It is also not enough for him to have one wife. What if she’s barren! So the nobles have several wives, and the very first chief has a whole harem.

      Any elite is not very interested in the home. These are black people who marry quickly and procreate quickly. As soon as the urges appear, they seem to be afraid of not having time. This is understandable. In fact, ordinary soldiers could be sent to war. They will not ask whether they want or do not want to fight for the glory of their master, and in the future of the state or empire. But the owner, the state, and the empire know about this, they try to single out heroes, reward them, and encourage them financially. If there were no hierarchy in such a society, no Zeref would go to war. He would have children, his wife would give birth to an heir every year, and he would not know what to do with them. After all, Zeref itself is part of the mechanism of war. If suddenly there is no war, no one attacks, he multiplies the heirs, potential soldiers become more and more, then he will look around. He will look once, look twice, and the third time he will become aggressive. He will go out on the road and start robbing passers-by. An Imperial man is always a warrior.

      The rulers know this. Therefore, the Zerots are always engaged in propaganda of war. Even in peacetime, they train the population, train their military skills, and create physical support, a physical number of their supporters, in advance. And we already know that for the traditional population there is only one formal and informal deity – their leader. As he commands, so be it. One of the prizes of an empire, real or with the phantom pains of former power, is the constant work of propagandists. No one seems to be interested in the interests of the population. They want to fight, or they don’t want to. The empire lives on. And that says it all. Propaganda-and only propaganda!

      So.

      If the Zeref builds houses, the Zerot builds palaces. If the Zeref has an ode to a wife, a noble may have several wives. If the Zeref goes to war so it means that the Zerot may be able to afford these palaces. To make the state richer, the state strengthened. And if the state grows territories, which in turn helps the population to get rich, then we are talking about the empire. Because the empire is not only an arrogant elite that always needs a root, it is also a proud (“tailed”) population. And the propagandists are always raising this almost invisible tail to everyone. They have no choice. The rulers of the well-fed his spokesmen. And the population gradually sees the light, sees the truth, and grumbles. No matter how many heralds and troubadours try to sing the military marches, people get tired of holding bright dummies and banners all the time. The first one is heard: Down with it!

      Chapter VI

      Superman vs the Envious

      Of course, the leader of the ancient people is an unusual person, a talented and brave person. But he was elected at a difficult and dangerous time. It appears in an extreme situation. You can say it has a one-time application function. He is a war chief. For peacetime, groups of tribal fathers were always present, and they resolved all issues. And the honorary elders had their own children and their own relatives. After the war, the dictatorship of the leader seems to have stopped working. And again the tribal council met, where the priests decided everything. So in Ancient Sparta, the council of elders chose the leader, and not the leader chose the council of elders. And without Gerusia’s approval, the military leader couldn’t do anything. As a peacetime tribal administrative institution, any council of elderly priests was always superior to any hero. The hero is born for war, for rare and dangerous situations, and the old people were carriers of valuable life experience. For example, the council of elders of Sparta forbade King Leonidas even to take all the soldiers because of the holidays in honor of Apollo of Carneia. The gods are above everything! Above even the Persian danger. And Tsar Leonid went on a campaign only with the famous detachment of 300 Spartans. But the fate of all of Greece was at stake! The question arises: did the Ephors wish their king good luck?

      For Sparta, there is such an opinion the best option was the death of King Leonidas. Which is exactly what happened. But this time the Greeks fought back. But it wasn’t just the Greeks who fought back.

      At all times, the feudal elite (the Zerots) was separated from its people. In every possible way, it overgrew and released on occasion the tails of its ancient root. The traditional elite still shows that they are superior to other people. In fact, they grow tails and germinate the root of their kind-this is the meaning of life in the traditional world so that the descendants of the family do not experience problems with their status. So that no one can say to them: Who are you?

      In this case, in Sparta, the superman (the Zelot) was King Leonidas, and his opponents were the feudal elite (the Zerots). In the clash of interests of superman and the envious group, the history of empires is determined. Some were heroes, others were envious and competitive. Some had already created their own family root, and some people wanted only fame. According to legend, King Leonidas was a descendant of the legendary Hercules. What else did the ambitious man need? Maybe the king wanted to be equal to Hercules? In that heroic time, glory and honor were more important than just life. It was not so much that such famous people and ordinary Spartans were obliged to die in battle. And they became heroes. The two Spartan survivors of the Battle of Thermopylae, even as messengers, deserved to be shamed. No one spoke to them.

      For the same reason, starting from the end of the V century, the decline of Athens began. But Athens was the main rival of Sparta in the Greek world. The famous Athenian democracy contributed to the rapid degradation of the polis than backward Sparta with its primitive laws. And so it happened that 50 years later, just after the Greco-Persian warrior, a war broke out inside Greece, between Athens and Sparta. It seems surprising that the advanced Athenian democracy, by modern standards, has lost this duel of traditional systems. After the victory over the Persians, Athens was the only great city that rose. I will not consider all the twists and turns of these tragic events for the Greeks. What the Greek union turned out to be, and why Athens literally lost. The subject of this book is the empire, not history.

      This meant that one of the two Greek states had to organize an empire as well. But neither of the two equal rivals managed to create a full-blooded and long-term empire. Everything was limited to the Greek world and the Greek lands. Athens and Sparta formed alliances of cities, but not an empire. All they could do was take a city from each other, tax it, and prolong their existence. The strangest thing, in this case, is that something similar to the empire was created by the Athenians, who had a trade and craft democracy. This meant that a large crowd of rootless people could and were eager to simply profit. Because for democracy, the most important thing is money. To increase their tail, every citizen tried to earn, trade, speculate as much as possible. No one knows the calmness of a democracy, but no one can guess why it is so uneasy. If anyone could tell these people that they were missing a tail, they would think that this person was crazy, he was just crazy. In fact, no one can guess what is the reason for this pursuit of money until now. Today it looks like a race for pleasure. Simply because the human family has ceased to dominate the modern world, the traditional institution of the family is experiencing a crisis. Two people are the minimum to create a family, only one man, and one woman, but there are only selfish singles who want pleasure. But even these singles want or pretend to want to start a family.

      But when the Athenian democracy was in full bloom power, all the Athenians wanted to have a family. Therefore, the Athenian democracy, despite the fact that 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. СКАЧАТЬ
