Open letter to Yuri Kasyanov:

Dear Yuri, I would like to express my moral support to your 2019 Presidential Candidate Program.
( https://kasjanov.com/my-program/ )

. However, I also want to make comments. To make the Program even stronger:

You have presented an ideally perfect analysis of the political system existing in Ukraine today.
- Neither add nor subtract.

The constructive part of the Program, however, is somewhat weaker, in my opinion:

"According to the feudal tradition, many choose the president as a tsar-father who will fix everything ... but the Ukrainian land has not produced a single hero."
The Ukrainians, with their own hand, must ... give power to the "correct" president.
"The only thing that a non-systemic president can and should do is to break the ruling feudal system." - To the ground, and then -
"Implement this Program by volitional decisions" (diktat )

"The oligarchs are obliged to pay extra for the loot , or go to jail." (Expropriation).
"Send at least a hundred scoundrels to jail , and preferably more."
Revolutionary terror, as an end in itself, will again degenerate into a struggle of new clans for power.
" Lustration starting with the minister and the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, the entire generals."
- If the President starts such a policy, then the oligarchs will simply hire killers .

"Lean on a small part of honest law enforcement."
- Weak social base.

"2 years is too short a time for systemic theft."
- Oligarchs know how to adapt.

The reform of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National State University is a steep shoveling, but it does not change the system, but only provokes resistance from those who will lose their lucrative positions.

"The troops will be ordered to destroy the enemy wherever possible by any available means ... to return the Crimea ."
- Kremlin propaganda in this case would easily convince the Russians that the aggressor is already Ukraine. And the Russians know how to defend themselves.
And the West would not have believed in the need to liberate Crimea.
The Ukrainians themselves are to blame for the loss of Crimea, primarily the Russian Federation. “They really allowed Kyiv to give Kremlin propaganda a reason to accuse Ukraine of language discrimination and weak local self-government. (In the Russian Federation, however, there is no self-government at all, but for demagogues this deception is not a problem).
With an oligarchic economy, and many times weaker than in the Russian military industry, the war would only bring grief to the mothers of the dead.
This is a rather irresponsible point of the Program.

"Political advertising, as a tool to fool voters, will be strictly prohibited."
- And who will appoint the censors ?

"All positions of heads of administrations, prosecutors, judges, and local police chiefs - sheriffs will be elected."
- Political manipulations are possible - at any level.
What is more important is political competition, transparent and legal.
And effective civil self-organization. The "program" should be, first of all, a program of civil self-organization.

"To unite - around values, ideas and principles, not names and party programs":

Yes, Programs today are a political tool . m manipulations.
As a rule, this is just a beautiful lure . non-committal, without a liability mechanism.
Yes, it is necessary to unite - around values, ideas and principles.

But, when uniting around values, it is also necessary to guarantee that the narrow team of the “holy” candidate nominated as a result of such an association will not collude with the oligarchs.
To do this, values, ideas and principles should not be just declarations, like the current party programs, but a social mechanism.
Even before 1990, it was proposed not to invent a "wheel", but simply to adopt a ready-made political mechanism, for example, Switzerland. Study it first , properly.
However, it just doesn't work out that way - democratic reforms must be carried out - democratically, and people in Ukraine are not the same as in Switzerland. Ukrainians still have the political mentality of the "Russian World". With national features, with embroidered shirts . Vicious circle.
Moreover, it is impossible to wait for natural evolution, as in Switzerland of the 18th century:
1. Switzerland had its own confluence of historical circumstances that gave birth to Switzerland.
2. The main thing is that political technologies today are much more perfect than 100 years ago, and they are improving rapidly. Evolution is taking place, but in a completely different direction.

The intention to seize presidential power in order to abolish this power seems strange and suspicious.
Now in Ukraine there is an opportunity to simply constructively build sustainable social alternatives that take into account the peculiarities of the national Soviet history.
True, it is precisely constructiveness that is not visible in the Program. – The usual “democratic” narratives are repeated. But the problem is precisely that "democracy" in Ukraine is not stable and does not work. - It degenerates into a corrupt oligarchy . And his "take and cancel" will not work. - The hierarchical "Russian World" will adapt to live even without the institute of presidency. The President will simply be replaced by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada. Just as the Tsars in the USSR were replaced by Secretaries.

What to do?:

Actively seek and create mechanisms appropriate to the current and local situation.
The situation is complicated, so the search must be deeply scientific.
Existing scientific institutes are impotent . They are built into the existing System.
We must start with the creation of a scientific institution that reflects the interests not of the "ruling class of top officials and oligarchs", but the interests of ordinary Ukrainians.
In order for a given scientific institution not to be built back into the existing hierarchy, it must be non - hierarchical. And also - open both in the sense of freedom of participation and initiative, and in the sense of transparency.
Modern IT -circumstances are just conducive to this. That is, they not only create new difficulties, but also provide new opportunities.

Therefore, in the same 1990, I proposed 3 times "Self-organization of the Deliberative Structure".
However, at that time I could not convey all these simple thoughts to anyone.

The main "help" in the creation of the Flat Structure has now been provided by ... Putin.
Putin has created an incentive.
Previously, every little Ukrainian found his little place in the corrupt System and, thus, supported it.
By radically changing circumstances, Putin is forcing Ukrainians to look for radical, effective solutions. And they are.
Even the oligarchs can agree to accept a flat structure, which is not needed in a peaceful life, under the threat of taking away their assets.
The flat structure can be accepted by the Ukrainians as Makhno could save thousands of lives. - Someone's sons, husbands, fathers.

Now the Flat Scientific Organization is needed to create not Super-Switzerland , but to create a powerful defense industry.
However, when creating the 2nd one, the 1st one will also be created. "Ways of the Lord..."

Speaking of Switzerland. At the beginning of the 2nd World War, the German-speaking Swiss repelled the aggression of the Nazi Nemetchyna without any outside help.

"We don't have a national idea"

- The role of Ukraine objectively turned out to be the main one in the Universe.
This must be taken into account where "few people know what he lives for."

The EU is now more interested in the effectiveness of reforms in Ukraine and in the well-being of Ukrainians than the Ukrainians themselves.
In Ukraine, powerful IT sector now.
The puzzle of circumstances has come together.
You just have to not miss the chance. The alternative is "The End of History", the end of humanity.
