How can all the arguments in texts 849 and 850 on the limitation of competition be combined with the theory of free competition, which is good leading to progress?

It's very simple: competition is good among relatively equal. Competition is good in its weight category, in one sport. And the situation when a 15-year-old boxer participates in a competition of 9-year juniors, this situation is categorically unacceptable. As well as sparring 120-kilogram fighter with 60-kilogram. Even such a seemingly innocent situation as a fight between a fighter and a boxer is not a fair fight, because the principles of combat in these fighters are different. Boxer, by nature, can not kick and go to melee, using this, the fighter can twist it and hold a painful reception. 

And the situation when an organized group of 10 people (say, a large financial conglomerate, Corporation, group of companies) shock and joyfully kick one unfortunate victim - generally requires public intervention.

Competition makes better only relatively equal opponents, in other cases, it only kills the weak. In General, competition, like democracy itself, is possible only among more or less equal. In the presence of strong and weak-need an external regulator that separates them. 

Democracy is the power of sheep under the strict control of shepherds-wolves in sheep's skins.

And  if  a  deputy's  photo 
is  censored  like  porno, 
it  means  there's  no  democracy, 
it  is  such  a  pitiful  thing. 

I`m  foolish  two-thirds  of  my  brain, 
I`m  wise  one-third... 
Fortunately,  the  wise  one-third, 
introduced  totalitarianism 
abandoning  democracy...

Democracy is the best possible social system. But democracy is possible only among equals, because equals are afraid to mess with each other. Is there equality? On the other hand, equality of the strong is possible, provided that the system of checks and balances does not allow someone to rise significantly above the rest.

The weak in this system can represent the force only by uniting under the leadership of one of the strong, who will promise to represent them.

Threats to democracy can be as follows:

- strong should be not many and not little. If the strong are few, democracy will turn into an oligopoly, and if the strong become many, democracy will turn into a circus and a show,

- democracy is possible with strong national clans and groups, otherwise the power will take control of foreign forces,

- people with roots and connections should vote: property owners and people with children.

The main problem of communism was that by eliminating the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, they essentially eliminated competition. The functions of the oligarchs and the bourgeoisie passed to the officials.

That is, if before the bourgeoisie and the state, who between them fought for power and resources, in terms of communism, officials of the defeated bourgeoisie and themselves become it. In this respect, the Chinese model of communism is more harmonious. In it, officials and oligarchs compete with each other and have roughly equal power. Moreover, the classical oligopoly and democracy is more weak, because the elite it is almost completely controlled by the state, which weakens competition.

It is necessary to understand that in any case, power and money turn people into oligarchs with superpowers. And those who have superpowers, one way or another, control the state and power. The Chinese model is not perfect. In it, too, power rests on economic power and is provided by clans. But in this model, the combined power of the state, based on ethics, morality and dominant philosophy, is such that titans can be periodically destroyed. It is almost impossible to destroy Titan in a purely capitalist society.

The  problem  of  democracy  is  that  it's  only  stupidity  and  evil  of  all  kinds-  from  tiny  to  gigantic,  that  they  bring  to  a  vote…  It's  not  clear  why  but  wisdom  and  kindness  never  take  part  in  a  vote.  Some  say  that  they  don't  even  get  the  minority  of  votes.  But  what  this  minority  looks  like  and  how  to  get  it,  no  one  really  knows…  It's  a  mystery  just  as  strange  as  the  mythological  majority  that  no  one  has  ever  seen. 

Democracy is a dictatorship of stupidity.

The dubious majority have fun with the song marching to hell.

"You make me laugh, my dear. You'd think most people are given the opportunity to make their own decisions. The same cunning little minority both made decisions in one person, and continues to do it, hiding behind democracy.

"Well, I don't agree. Remember at least the democracy of ancient Athens, where demagogues and politicians were called flatterers of the mob. Populism is all of them. These guys over the past millennia have become professional showmen. Their words honed meaningless. The crowd loves them.

"By the way, I was thinking. Democracy - as a way to remove responsibility for wrong decisions. Just think, before all was to blame for the Emperor, and now - no one knows who. Even more. Now the people themselves are to blame for the fact that it is bad. We have a democracy, now everyone chooses what he deserves.

- Brilliant!!!

It's  important  for  any  state  to  make  its  citizens  armed  at  least  in  order  to  protect  ITSELF  from  its  own  stupidity  and  tendency  for  injustice. 

It's  impossible  to  build  a  democratic  state  in  the  society  of  the  very  strong  and  very  weak  ones.  So,  it's  necessary  to  somehow  make  their  opportunities  and  forces  equal.  Democracy  is  mutual  respect  between  well-armed  people.  If  we  want  society  to  be  just,  it's  necessary  to  provide  all  people  the  opportunity  to  react  to  any  injustice  adequately. 

One  more  thing.  The  society  where  every  citizen  is  an  armed  warrior  will  never  be  under  control  of  any  external  forces.  As  this  society  will  be  successful  and  known  for  justice.  As  any  injustice  together  with  an  offended  person's  sniping  rifle  will  soon  be  turned  into  justice. 

Of  course,  it's  also  possible  to  narrow  a  gap  between  the  weak  and  the  strong  ones  by  changes  in  the  system  of  education  or  laws  but  it  barely  works  in  practice. 

Mutual  respect  based  on  mutual  fear,  makes  people  very  polite  and  civilized. 

The  main  weak  spot  of  democracy  and  fair  elections  is  that  there  are  substantively  more  fools  that  sane  and  clever  people  They  choose  people  of  their  kind  or  those  who  were  able  to  deceive  them,  and  it’s  known  than  deceiving  them  is  easier  than  taking  candy  from  a  baby.

Indeed,  any  people  deserves  its  leaders.  Of  course,  there  is  a  number  of  nuances  and  even  hopelessness,  as  not  only  people  influences  its  leaders,  but  leaders  also  shape  people  to  their  image.

Foolishness  generates  only  foolishness.
Small  foolishness  y  grows  into  enormous  one.
And  the  foolishness  put  together  gets  literally  astronomical  scales.

Democracy is like a three-headed monster.
One head doing silly things, the second shit and third of all condemns, but can not do anything.

Perhaps,  for  the  sake  of  democracy  and  love  for  mankind  it's  rational  not  to  let  weak  minded  take  part  in  a  vote. 

Perhaps,  there  should  be  some  exam  and  control  to  stop  stupid  people  from  taking  part  in  a  vote.  There  should  be  some  tests  of  logic,  knowledge  of  philosophy,  ethics  and  intelligence  level.  It's  irrational  to  let  idiots  and  easily  led  people  become  puppets  for  cynical  puppeteers.

In classical democracy, no more than 15% of the best members of society participated in democratic processes, they were called citizens. Classical democracy did not imply the participation of idiots in a democracy.

Democracy  that  turns  into  phrase-mongering,  often  tends  to  substitute  talks  for  actions.  This  gigantic  long  tongued  head  resembles  a  millepede  with  its  moving  tongues  instead  of  arms  and  legs.

Politeness  is  the  most  democratic  kind  of  love.

Pure democracy is flawed in that the majority always live in Vice and slavery to sin and temptation.

Democracy teaches man to judge, and to judge what he does not understand.  On the other hand, democracy is learning, it teaches people to teach correctly at the cost of suffering.  On the third hand, democracy teaches fear.

The point of democracy is to show the doubters that the majority is right.  Doubting and disbelieving people are very dependent on others ' opinion, because they are afraid to take responsibility for making their decision.

People do not like power, so the power of the people there.

The nature of freedom is a wave process.

Freedom, giving rise to pride, is transformed into slavery.

Democracy  is  impossible  in  the  conditions  of  people's  stupidity  and  ignorance. 

The  main  enemy  of  democracy  is  people's  dense  stupidity  and  laziness. 

Stupidity  and  laziness  result  into  weakness.  As  a  result,  the  strong  and  the  smart  lay  hands  on  everything  while  the  weak  and  the  stupid  become  their  slaves. 

Democracy is populism, but ... but democracy is also cunning and intelligence. Sly puppeteers manipulate pigs and wolves so successful that the wolves are sated and the sheep intact.

The essence of the thesis that in a democracy people are forced to choose between an enema and a shit sandwich is idealism. Idealists either want to get rid of shit completely, or they can live up to their ears in this shit... There is no middle ground in these people.

Buying and selling is an exchange of "you to me, I to you"... this is the most democratic and dignified form of human relationships, because the other three are to take, borrow or beg.

Democracy is a great cure for boredom. Democracy breeds hope and passion, spectacle and entertainment. Democracy is a spectacle that promises hope for bread. The people demand bread and circuses. Democracy gives hope for bread, it replaces both spectacle and bread.

Democracy is a kind of honest lie, officially no one lies, but the truth somehow remained very little.

Democracy is the best style of government because democracy shares power. Division weakens evil, but good division does not weaken.

In fact, democracy and oligopoly are only masks of an aristocratic form of government, however, tyranny does not abolish aristocracy either.

Tyranny, democracy and oligopoly are three varieties of the same form of government, which is called aristocracy, that is, the power of the best and the chosen.

Democracy-the most close to the spirit of man's style of government, because the same way of thinking and the person. The ordinary man has a democracy in his soul, where the conscious and the unconscious, reason and feelings, virtues and vices, wisdom and stupidity struggle for power.

The essence of real democracy is to unite people, democracy that divides people is false.

The concept that the Holy spirit comes from the father and the son has the meaning that God lives both in the soul of man and in the outside world. If we accept that the spirit comes only from the father of God, then we must admit that there is no Holy spirit within man. In terms of democracy and the nature of things, the first concept is preferable.

Love is real democracy, love requires absolute equality, and this equality absolutnie, especially the manic kind of love. Inequality destroys love. Only equality guarantees the unity and integrity of love.

Democracy is like cement for a society where everyone is more equal than unequal, and like sand when Vice versa.

Before  creating  democratic  society,  one  should  give  people  fire...

Democracy  is  possible  only  among  the  people  strong  in  every  way.  It’s  necessary  to  start  from  fortitude  and  philosophy.  Democracy  and  equality  are  impossible  in  the  kingdom  of  foolishness  and  weakness.  The  clever  and  the  strong,  raising  quickly  over  the  others,  take  all  the  resources,  generating  great  hunger  and  poverty.  Gods  punished  Prometheus  cruelly.  Real  democracy  is  a  pain  in  the  neck  to  titans.  Power  of  titans  is  in  their  slaves.  Mind  breaks  any  chains  and  it’s  against  the  slave-owners`  interests.

Only people between the ages of 21 and 65, owners of real estate and land, as well as people who are married and have children, i.e. socially responsible citizens, should have political capacity in a democracy. Socially irresponsible and easily suggestible citizens for various reasons should not be allowed to participate in solving important issues for society.

The  main  threat  for  democracy  is  people  who  are  influenced  by  others'  opinion.  The  young,  the  elderly  and  women  are  the  most  hypnotizable  people...  If  stupid  and  weak  men  can  be  referred  to  them  as  well,  then  who  is  left  for  playing  into  democracy? 

Two  main  problems  of  democracy:  people  who  are  chosen  and  people  who  choose  them.  People  who  are  not  to  be  trusted  choose  those  who  are  not  to  be  trusted. 

There   is   a   very   strict   hierarchy   in   the   flock   of   baboons.   The   closer   society   is   to   the   primitive   one,   the   stricter   and   more   immutable   its   hierarchical   laws   are.

Civilization   is   more   liberal   in   this   regard.   The   less   society   worships   its   leaders   and   authorities,   the   more   civilized   it   is.

The  main  vice  of  democracy  is  the  idea  that  those  who  work  must  provide  sustenance  to  those  who  do  not.  The  rationale  behind  this  idea  is  not  even  humanism  but  rather  the  purchase  of  cheap  votes.  It’s  more  expensive  to  buy  a  working  person,  so  populists  look  for  cheaper  options.

The main difference between democracy and absolute monarchy is that democracy is a corrupt prostitute, and the monarchy-as a decent woman, has sex only for love. Though we will be fair to democracy-the prostitute is not cheap, and very even elite.

I  trust  neither  people  nor  the  so-called  democracy.  People  are  a  crowd,  and  crowds  cannot  be  independent  by  definition.  The  crowd  always  thinks  and  does  what  its  masters  tell  it…  Those  who  have  control  of  the  media,  including  the  Internet,  easily  and  freely  change  the  crowd’s  opinion  on  any  subject  they  need.  Yes,  there  are  people  who  can  maintain  an  independent  opinion  despite  the  media’s  zombification  efforts,  but  when  8  people  out  of  10  are  zombies,  they  no  longer  need  the  media  to  deal  with  two  frightened  men:  biting  them  is  enough…

The  problem  with  democracy  is  that  intelligent  and  sensible  people  have  no  one  to  vote  for,  that’s  why  they  don’t  vote.

The conservatives are those who tend the Apple tree, trying to preserve it so that it blooms and bears fruit; the liberals want to cut it down and plant a new tree of some very much praised variety. However, how to live while the tree will grow, they modestly silent. And they want to cut down an old tree in someone else's garden, and plant a new one in their own.

Liberals are like dog lovers who fight for the right for their Pets to walk without a muzzle and shit anywhere. But the climax of their desires is free dog food for everyone.
