If the world fails to take the path of developing Man, humanity can be suppressed by a severe dictatorship of security services and oligarchy, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on March 21 on the Right to Know program on TVC.
According to the political scientist, after the collapse of the Soviet Union the world nevertheless awaits from Russia something new in the direction where the Soviet society was initially moving, and this path implies a spiritual development of Man.
“We leave absolutely unengaged [Man’s] resources which, indeed, are screaming about being unengaged. You mentioned Marx, right? Well, Weber disagreed with Marx on one point, that the role of the superstructure was underestimated,” Sergey Kurginyan said.
Further, disciple of great German sociologist Max Weber, Shmuel Noah Eisenstadt, said, “Everything is determined by the formula of salvation.” “This means the combination of the transcendent and the immanent, i.e. of the other world and this world,” the analyst explained.
“And the Russians are otherness in being. This is a birch grove transfused with sunlight. The transcendent is present in the immanent, i.e. in the nature. ‘Not what you think is nature…’ This is the key point,” he noted quoting Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev.
However, according to him, the world is now moving in a different direction. The political scientist reminded that Vladimir Lenin, following Karl Marx and quoting Rudolf Hilferding, said that the unevenness of development between countries would result in a war. “And this is what we can see,” Kurginyan stressed.
He explained that China and the US today are Germany and the UK in the period of World War One. This means that World War Three will not be similar to World War Two, which was ideological “due to Hitler to a large extent;” instead, the war that is now unfolding will be similar exactly to World War One, the political scientist added.
The analyst reminded that even German economist Karl Kautsky, who promoted Marx’ ideas at the turn of 1900, and other Marxists not without reason said that a “super-mono-imperialism” would come. “Jack London wrote about the iron heel as a new type of oligarchy,” he noted.
As an example of the formation of such a concealed oligarchy Kurginyan offered to find an answer to the question who is the owner of one of the world’s largest investment foundations, BlackRock. “Well, who is the owner of BlackRock? The owner of Standard Oil of New York was Rockefeller. And who is the owner of BlackRock?” he reiterated his question.
According to him, it is senseless to think that the CEO of the foundation, Larry Fink, is its owner. “Fink is a boy from a poor Jewish family appointed to rule, and perhaps he is talented, but it is not him, indeed,” the political scientist noted.
“The stocks of shares are assigned. What capitalism? Where is it? Who is the owner? I ask my competent friends in the West, and they say, ‘It is some groups in the elite of security services that have long become independent of their agencies,’” Kurginyan said.
He also indicated that, along with the concentration of huge financial capitals, a monopolization of media is taking place. “What is this new oligarchy? When will it open its cards? What is the [US] Northern Command waiting for? And what is reappearing in the form of counter-terrorist forces in the United States?” the political scientist asked.
“What kind of dictatorship is coming? What kind of an iron heel?” he accentuated his question.
