Far left,far right,minorities and violence

The right ideology considers giving power to an elite (aristocrats,church,billionaires,officers, ethnic group). 
The elite is a minority, and in order to rule a majority which is excluded form the decision making process it must use the military force.
Wherever you see a far right dictatorship you see the military.
The left consider including all to the decision making, but because divergent interests it lacks unity . The worker and the billionaire seldom have common interests.
Without unity a far left government cannot be effective so everybody must be kept in line, everybody must have the economic and intellectual level, everybody must believe the same thing. So for this you have the Commissariat for the Safety of the People (KGB), Popular army/People Liberation Army and Propaganda Bureau, who by force or propaganda repress dissent.
Here also the military forces are used for repressing population, but they are branded as "popular".
Because of the left thinking that man is born as a blank slate which later is written by environment, I think the far left tries to indoctrinate more than far right.
Far right think that some belong to an inferior race and they must be handled violently if they don't obey.
I think that a correct political system should allow minorities to exist and to have access to decision making, because every one is a minority.
Europe is a minority in the world,Romania is a minority within EU, Bucharest is minority within Romania, and so on.
Sometimes minorities have divergent interests, sometimes they don't.A good leadership search for common interests with the minorities that it is leading.

Criminals who are muslims

Many people consider as cause for last attack failure to integrate muslim population. The last attacks from Germany,Nisa,Paris,Bruxelles and London were done by petty criminals. None of them has a clean police record.
The  main problem I see is the spread of islam within criminal community, which can
organize criminals to do political acts.
Bolshevicks recruited criminals to overthrow governments, and to repress oposition, same thing happens with Daesh.
I think the authorities should focus on reducing criminality especially in Muslim communities.

Machiavelli and Erdogan

Machiavelli in his book "The Prince", advises to set as a temporary administrator of a new acquired state a ruthless man. This ruthless man will crush any opposition. After the opposition is crushed, the prince can dispose (kill/imprison him) of the ruthless administrator and he will be hailed as a good and kind ruler who saved the people from a blood thirsty tyranny.
I think Erdogan made the same think with ISIS.
He allowed them to thrive, by not stopping the trade with stolen oil and guns.Then he tried to enter in Syria and Irak, to save oppressed people and to be hailed as a saviour.
Maybe he is doing the same thing with the coup.
Crushing the coup can be seen as a gesture that he will defend the liberty of the people.
What I expect to see is that the Erdogan party to be armed to prevent further military coup, a kind of "Iranian Revolutionary Guard" a la Turque.

The Brexit is good for EU

The split of Great Britain from European Union can be a good thing for EU because it is creating a challenger for Bruxelles bureaucracy.
If till now the EU official were complacent and they thought that no country will split from the Union. Now they will have to prove that governance is better than national governance.
On the long term they had to reform themselves to survive.
But on the short term they will punish UK, in order to discourage other splits.
I am worry about Great Britain. If they didn't succeed to impose in a  500 millions inhabitants market, how they will succeed alone ?
Now they don't have any more British empire as a cushion.
Even Australia and Canada are orbiting around USA.
India is independent.
African countries are attracted by China.
Brexit remembers me about another British blunder: "Made in Germany" trade mark.
In the late XIX , early XX century, British industry was heavily competed by the German one.
In order to rally in the defence of the national industry, the patriotism of British subjects, the British government enacted the obligation of producers to imprint on their products the country of manufacturing. The side effect was that people were seeking now products "Made in Germany" without giving a second look at the products "Made in England",because they felt that they were of better quality,

The parochial thinking that led to Brexit is not new in Britain:
A Scottish woman who travelled in Romania at the end of XIX century noticed that english products were missing from Romanian stores, being replaced with French and German products.
The few clothes catalogue that arrived in Romania were in Imperial Units, making the ordering of the products impossible.
One Bulgarian importer of British agricultural machines, asked the producer to change the colour of its products from gray to more cheerful colours to make them more appealing to the customers. He was refused.
No wonder that the empire collapsed, in early XX century.

Educam copiii pentru prostie?

Niste elevi care se pregateau pentru BAC la istorie, m-au intrebat de ce a inceput al doilea razboi mondial. Ma intreb cat de prost pregatita este profesoara lor daca nu a stiut sa e explice lucru asta. M-am uitat pe ghidul lor care trebuia sa-i ajute la BAC: o colectie de date puse gramada care nu explica istoria. Wikipedia este de 100X mai buna.
Educatia romaneasca este orientata pentru trecut examane. Se dau niste examene, toate cartile sunt facute pentru a memeora niste date si a trece examenele.
Nu se explica si nu se urmareste ca elevul sa plece cu ceva util din liceu.
Suntem romani pentru ca avem o istorie comuna, daca tinerii uita istoria, natia dispare.
Neintelegand istoria, oamenii vor fi manipulati de orice fituica cu mare tiraj sau de orice site cu trafic mare.

Valoarea unei natii sta in oamenii ei

Am auzit la TVR pledoaria lui Plesu pentru a da bani pentru a cumpara "Cumintenia Pamantului":
"Trebuie sa ne recumperam valorile".
Cat de valoroasa este statuia pentru un flamand,un analfabet, un bolnav care are nevoie de tratament, niste soldati care au nevoie de arme mai bune?
Valoarea este data de cerere si oferta si cultura nu face exceptie.
Valoare culturii a crescut in timpul dictaturii deoarece oferta era slaba.
In Romania cererea petru o astfel de statuie este mica.  Avem probleme mai grave de rezolvat, inclusiv in cultura, unde sunt monumente care se distrug desi este nevoie de mai putini bani pentru ele decat pentru aceasta piatra.
Cand vor fi mai putin flamanzi,vom 0 analfabeti, bolnavii vor avea tratamentul care trebuie atunci si oamenii vor avea timp de cultura si cererea va fi mai mare si niste viitori Brancusi vor putea sa se dedice exclusiv sculpturii.
Cultura este un lux, pe care si-l permit numai tarile bogate, asta a inteles si regele soldat Friedrich Wilhelm I al Prusiei care si-a vandut colectiile de arta pentru a-si construi o armata care i-a dat posibilitatea fiului sau Friedrich der Grosse, sa faca din micul principat o putere europeana, care va deveni mai apoi nuclelul viitoarei Germanii.
Departe de noi sa intelegem cum functioneaza cu adevarat niste tari de succes, la noi se cultiva in continuare formele fara fond,dupa cum se plangea si Titu Maiorescu in secolul 19.

Eurovision: Romania's moment of silence

Romanian Television had for years debts to EBU the organizer of Eurovision.
Suddenly the EBU requests the 16 millions dollars debts or Romania will not be present. Romanian Television is bankrupt and it cannot pay.
This silenced the song "A moment of silence"of the artist Ovidiu Anton.
You will remark that the song is revolutionary and can inspire some people in France,UK,Germany,Belgium,Spain,Greece where the social tensions are increasing, and the political elite is losing ground.
