"Rubbish so far has thinned out".
Vladimir Mayakovsky to Sergei Yesinin

"Getting calluses sitting for five years on their bum,
strong, as wash basin,
they live today – quieter than water.
Vladimir Mayakovsky. About Rubbish

Soviet people, raised in the spirit of collectivism and dedication to your Fatherland, now find themselves in the world, which is not compatible with our moral principles. We are not used to, that the most important criteria in a human life is the accumulation only of money. Today in the former USSR more often than not we find people in authority without talent, insolent, but capable of accumulating through shady means much capital. But we are not used to this !…Such situations more often than now brings on confusion in people of former Soviet Union. This does not fit into any socialist laws on honest work, which is directed at the blossoming of the betterment of all in a society, but now it does not matter. Unto the pedestal of the State came The Almighty Capital. But we were user to think that Work is the highest form of dedication for a better life. But now, Work is looked upon not favorably. While the workers more and more fall into a form of slavery to those who own the means of production, sitting on the Iron Throne of the Devil.

How must a Soviet person behave and act in these situations? This is a very complex problem. It carries a political, economic, and ethico-psychological character. To solve this problem there is a great need to concretely study this problem and experiment. In this short article we shall touch only on some aspects of this problem. We hope that this finds understanding and also thought-provoking thinking in our readers. This is about the rubbish in all of is forms that has taken hold of the ex-USSR by the present regime.

The "perestroika-euphoria" and the counter-revolutionary changes in our country, among other ills, have produced a humanitarian devastation of a large section of the population. In the hands of the state, at its center and in the periphery, are people who have a limited knowledge and intellect. This has caused the chaotic situation in the present society, the dictatorship of criminals. As our above mentioned poet said, our discussion is about the present government Rubbish, which are now amongst us. We have in mind the government servants, the leaders in all ministries and state organs of power. All of these people are NOTHING, as was spoken by the well known Soviet artist Arkady Raikin, "worthless, swarm of drones"

But, these worthless drones are in the top positions of power, influence and enormous riches. They are accompanied by rows of civil servants, guards, lackeys, who themselves rule but not work. This of course effects the professionalism of these people and on their struggles for a revolutionary change in the society. Of course, we know that the coming storm of the revolution will sweep these drones out. But, how must a person behave and act, who is dedicated to concrete deeds and working towards the change in this bourgeois society?…

The best recognized aspect of talent and understanding is the appearance in the person is calmness, logical analyses of any situation, of any class enemy, unfit civil servants or leader and other outcasts of society and bastards. First of all, you must realistically, from a Marxist point of view analyze the situation and their class position, and have a realistic plan worked out to influence or stop in his or her tracks the defense of his or her policy. In order to defeat the essence of the arguments it is necessary to expose their meaning. If, after all, this does not produce any tangible result and no progress is seen, and you are busy with other work as well, you should then ignore it. Because it is NOTHING!

To show your own internal nervousness and agitation with these intellectual ignoramuses is absurd. This just makes you nervous and agitated for nothing. The world goes on its way, according to the laws as predicted by Marx and Engels and time comes when one day this method will prevail and will sweep into the dust bin of eternity all this rubbish, that will expose and extract the dirtiness of this mutant in peoples skin. Here it is essential to state, that the question is not whether this or that person, or those persons are agitated enough to understand. It is important to overall get rid of all these elements from society. These individuals are a product of the bourgeois society. This is not just one example.

This rubbish, finding themselves in a society built around this ilk will start multiplying fast if the unity is not achieved to sweep them off the map of the earth….

If you are not able to convince or neutralize some of these elements, try to get them away from others who are not totally psychologically brainwashed. There are many others who need to be converted, do not agitate yourself with this ore that individual. Keep your path pointed to the shining star…be brave and sow seeds of understanding. The future is ours! The glory of work for humanity and socialism is the goal!
