Civil society, with its virtues and at least its declared principles, has been destroyed in the West, said political scientist, philosopher and leader of the “Essence of Time” movement, Sergei Kurginyan, on March 22 in the program “Conversation with the sage”. Zvezda radio program.
Speaking about the political transformation that took place in the West, Kurginyan recalled that democracy is impossible without civil society.
“A citizen is a subject of this very democracy, that is, a person who is fully oriented in politics, has his own stable values and views and, appropriately, significantly expresses sympathy and antipathy towards certain institutions” ., recalled the political scientist. Furthermore, a citizen and a society have the right to rebel when “The fundamental right to choose is questioned”.
The analyst pointed out that today in the West terms are being introduced to describe the current state of society. “diffuse society, consumer society, amorphous society”. The very existence of society, society, which was once indubitable, now becomes problematic.
“So, if there is no citizen, but there is a consumer, what then is classical democracy? I am referring to classical bourgeois democracy in the form in which it has been established in the West.””Kurginian explained.
For a new Franklin Delano Roosevelt (American statesman and politician who was the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945) to appear in the United States, approx. IA Krasnaya Vesna), a citizen is needed for whom the United States is home, for whom he feels personal responsibility, participates in establishing order and discusses its structure.
Citizen “destroyed along with all the classical virtues or at least the declared principles”noted Kurginyan, reminding that the statement is also important, even if “This is not directly realized in reality, but something remains of it”.
