It is very difficult to win people over through ideologies. If someone perceives themselves as a conservative by denying liberals, then this way of self-definition will inevitably put them in the camp of Trump in the USA and of Borisov and … Trump in Bulgaria.
In fact, people should first be aware of what Good and Evil are - and then determine whose side they are on. Therefore, they should not feel mental discomfort when they support conservatives like Thatcher, Reagan, John McCain or liberals like F.D. Roosevelt, Kennedy or Macron - when they defend the values of Freedom and human rights.
This was published on his Facebook page by economist Evgeniy Kanev. Here is more from his commentary:
Good and Evil as a biblical epic are the moral compass for every choice we make, not just political ones. Yes, in politics it is not always very clear what is good and evil. Many people will dispute Kennedy's launching of the Vietnam War - so far from the USA; but perhaps they would justify him if they remembered his oath upon taking office:
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us good or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to ensure the survival and prosperity of freedom."
Or vice versa: many people today are beginning to wonder whether the Cold War hero Reagan, who contributed the most to the freedom of Eastern Europe, did not go too far with deregulation and did not start the oligarchization of the USA. But they will not forget his speech that there is no left and right, only above (freedom) and below (slavery).
The most important thing is a politician's inner sincere conviction in the Good and his readiness to defend the values of Freedom and democracy. Because their appeal was taken up by their enemies.
Ton gave the "Evil Empire".
In the beginning, Lenin took Marxist theory and changed the basic postulate that a successful revolution is possible only in a developed capitalist country to suit his personal interests - to make Russia a communist country. Then - seeing that his theory was demolished by practice - he brought back capitalism through the “New Economic Policy” (NEP).
In the beginning, Lenin demolished churches because religion was the opium of the people. Then Stalin recognized it as an incredibly powerful weapon for advancing Russian interests in the Orthodox world, which today Putin "creatively" further developed.
The republic - so beautifully sounding - also entered the ideological arsenal, but as a "people's". Bulgaria was also a people's republic. Even China continues to be.
And not only that - the People's Republic of Bulgaria defined its political system as "people's democracy". ETC.
And to this day - you see - Russia, as an already fascist state, is again waging war against "fascism", like the USSR. Today I was even amazed by the audacity to see a poster "after 80 years the USA and Russia are again waging war against "Eurofascism" ?!? To be more credible: the German Von Der Leyen is his face.
In short: dictatorships always use deception, the double mirror, the tailed lie to turn all the concepts from the arsenal of democracies into poisonous doubles.
So in our country, GERB are "citizens for European ??? development of Bulgaria", until it erases any separation of powers and liquidates democratic institutions.
Peevski took them over with his people as a "Euro-Atlantic" fighting for the people.
BSP gives all the best to the flourishing of the oligarchy, while supposedly taking pity on the people. And there is no point in even talking about the Russian fragments in parliament, who fight against corruption with Putin on their lips.
So the Evil Empire scattered its fragments all over the earth and, with propaganda mixed with poisonous mushrooms, is waging a fierce hybrid war with the whole world. With only one goal: money-power-money’. And finally: world control. Lenin's work continues.
This is Evil - but with a thousand incarnations.
The worst, alas, is the abuse of Christianity.
Because through it Evil reaches the human soul the fastest. But there is a simple way for a person to distinguish between Good and Evil:
