Attention! The Refags (The first generation of hucksters)

I thought all the time watching the market processes where will the energy of total injustice and market meanness go? I am convinced that each of you has met with injustice firsthand, received a lot of human shit, and turned into something yourself in 25 years of so-called reforms. What was the motive, and what was the meaning of all this? Live with one goal as quickly as possible to raise money. Yes, so it was, so people lived with such dreams. The whole point is to take more, accumulate or corrupt? I mean, while you can you must throw everyone and everything because for the stolen millions will not be put in jail, they will put you in jail for a bag of potatoes (guaranteed). The whole point of existence was actually to steal (and no other option is seen so far). Well, or save up through speculation with a cheat to the maximum. No one wanted to fall behind in either speculation or corruption. It was a competition. One thing is important for the tradition, another for the market. Both things together reflect the ugliness, it is a synthesis of tradition and the market. To be above all it is important for the traditional men, to be richer is impotent for the market people. This is the face of Refag. The Refags is the name of all the traditional people who, without the experience of modernity in the first generation, began to trade. They had no bankers ’fathers, no brokers’ grandfathers. All their ancestors were traditional people who lived in mutual aid groups because any traditional community works on the principles of kinship and helping each other. And the body of this person is the mass. And the name of this mass is Refags.

All European people have high reflection, egoistic market high reflection let’s say so. The life of Refags is based on principles man to man is a wolf (homo homini lupus est). To distinguish some Refags from others, traditional people who have suddenly become merchants, we will call Refag 1 (or refag first)

The Refags, of course, are different. There are mummified Refags, imitative Refags, or young zefa is zefags. There are professional Refags that convey the meaning of profit from father to son – these are trading dynastic (old) Refags. There are situational Refags, in appearance, it seems not refags, but officials, like state people (Remids), but if you look more closely, then not state people at all, but thieves, corrupt officials (all corrupt officials are refags). After all, for refags, money comes first. Not honor, not the state, not the fate of the people (at least, for the young Zefa).

There are Refags-nationalists who put on ceremonial costumes. In fact, the nationalists are just as much a product of the market. For the people or the nation, they want to become the new refags-officials themselves. This method is the easiest. There are many people who want to take off on populism. That is why there are no obvious leaders among the nationalist Refags.

There are no obvious leaders among the Refags of pure bourgeois craft. Dealers and speculators, directors of boutiques, and individual enterprises will never be able to agree or will negotiate not easily. Because they are young Refags (zefa, zeref + refag = zefa) and have a lot of greed. They immediately put forward the leaders of the failed oligarchs. The opposition oligarchs were also officials. There are simply no other oppositionists. They would have been Zefags officials for even longer. But their ambitions have become greater than their real value in the market system. Those traditional people who quickly became rich while in public office, they lost by pure traditional rules. In the traditional system, the leader is one person. In the old days, he was called the monarch. Today he is called the president. But he is still an autocrat. Those traditional people who lost the fight to him rashly showed him their ambitions. In the traditional world, you can’t show your teeth ahead of time. Therefore, the losers of the Refags turned into oppositionists. But even in their opposition parties, they also resemble primitive feudal lords. You can’t get away from feudalism quickly. It’s impossible. Therefore, all the proclaimed democracy here is just a sign.

Hucksters and speculators are the biggest armies of Refags. They see no meaning in life, except to save money and show that they are not worse than anyone, even colleagues in the market row, even a neighbor on the landing. How to show it? Buy an expensive item. Buy and show. The highest stratum of these Refags wants to show, not to their neighbors, but to everyone in the world, that they are respected, the first people of society. They prove this, including to the inhabitants of the West. They corrupt, in the sense of stealing from the state, then buy real estate in the West, the most expensive at the same time, so, they say, I am also a European with experience. Here I have a palace here.

With what?

If the merchants (the lowest of the Zefa caste) want to show to their neighbors the expensive clothes, the middle ones reach up to the level of the Refag officials to show, for example, a new car. The Zefa officials go straight to the West and open an account there. As if nothing had happened. As if they were long-serving citizens of the free world. As you can see, the worst are all the marshmallows from the bottom, who have to make the most effort. Unfortunately, the children of Zefa are brought up in anger and envy, have the potential energy of destruction. They do not carry any kind of democracy and tolerance in them. Sooner or later, they will demand equality. They will demand democracy from their autocrat president. But they will demand it not because they are Democrats, but because they feel humiliated as people from a lower caste. If such people rise to the top, they quickly become little tyrants. This is a traditional environment. No revolution in such an environment brings improvement.

No better the Zefa at the top. They do everything to stay in power forever. By tradition, this is possible, but it is impossible by the law of the market. All Zefas want to steal, pocket, speculate, take out because they are young Zefas, inexperienced in a new business, so they are very diligent. And those who stumble, they want to destroy everything around them. The old hierarchical scheme does not suit anyone. If Zefa goes berserk, he’s ready to blow up everything and everyone around him. This, of course, is exaggerated, but it is not yet evening.

There is always room for rage in the clouded subconscious of the Zeref of the past. The lower the initial culture of the Refag and the higher the marginality, the more vicious and hateful the Refag is to the environment. The artists-schizophrenics, artists-shaitans, journalists, alcoholics and prostitutes, seem to let green foam around.

The fact that the mass of the traditional population is not ready for the so-called reforms also explains the radical rejection of their results. In other words, all Zefas want democracy, but in reality they want to be first from the second and second from the third. No one wants to give in to anyone. Even in opposition, they are fighting over who will sit in the front row at the top and who will clap from the bottom. This is so important to Zefa that their heads are spinning, how to get up, climb higher on their heads.

Hence, the total rudeness, turning into total cruelty, the name of which is at its peak – the Maidan.

No contract

The refags nationalists will not be able to negotiate from greed and ambition as if they recently jumped off the cart. These are all total provincials or cynics, ready to take advantage of the ignorance of the crowd. Zefa-traders cannot agree because they came from the same traditional family (paternal system, and in general, the culture here was and will be paternal). The nationalists and the dealers are the biggest factions of Zefa, but they will not be able to agree because they put their benefit above the general one. Apathetic publicist who has nothing to write about but the deity of Saakashvili, if he exists on grants and wants to see all nationalists in their coffin is an agent of influence. Such white journalist is an idol for all aborigen Zefa. An oligarch who used to be an official and could never be an oligarch without this. He is invulnerable to the authorities. The Refags do not forgive everyone and not everything, but they forgive everything to their tips or beacons. Because an agent of influence can negotiate with himself, even if he drags all the natives who believe him to the meat processing plant, and the Zefas will never agree with each other without him. They can all start expire green foam one day. Let all the water around turn black, and let the air around be poisoned by their poison. But it’s the foam from Zefa’s subconscious over and over again. One day, an impulse of anger can materialize in one place and in one minute. But this minute will be more like the explosion of an atomic nucleus. There is no future from the results of this coincidence of a nuclear explosion. But the Refags will still strive with all the fibers of the Zefa-soul to such an end. As if one mad man in his old age decided to collect ashes in his fist…
