I dedicate it to M.K. with gratitude.

Kliment Voroshilov was a staunch servant of Stalin and in the “post-Lenin” power struggle in the Bolshevik Party between Josef Stalin and Leo Trotsky, he praised his master in every possible way and cursed Trotsky’s supporters, including Karl Radek.

Voroshilov called him “TROTSKY’S Tailvager” several times!

To which Radek replied in a quatrain:

Oh, Klim, empty headed stallion!

Thoughts are piled up in a mass,

Better to be tail of Lion,

Than to be of Stalin’s ass.

(My “humble” translation)

Ultimately, Radek, for his sarcastic remarks about Stalin himself and his lackeys, suffered (although he diligently played along with prosecutors and judges at show trials against Trotskyites, Zinovievites, Kamenevites, etc.) a painful death in the camp from a criminal murderer, encouraged by the Chekists, “people with clean hands, cold heads and warm hearts.”.

I have written more than once that any multicellular organism is just a dump of various cells (humans have about two trillion of them) that “cooperate” with each other only insofar as it is BENEFICIAL to them, that is, when some cells contribute to the “satisfying life” of others, who also reciprocate them. But as soon as this mutually beneficial balance is disrupted, the cells begin a deadly struggle with each other for the “best piece of the pie.”

The First Law of Dialectics, which I have mentioned more than once, is about the “Unity and struggle of opposites”:

Unity is relative!

The fight is absolute!

But I’ve met a lot of people who have a complete mess in their heads, too.

THERE IS NO ORDERLY SYSTEM of knowledge and laws.

Pieces of knowledge picked up haphazardly and not having found the slightest coherence in the heads of the “graspers”, they were not organized into some kind of mental systems. Mechanical memory, while it works, keeps them conscious, but “fragmented.” Associative memory is either nonexistent or extremely weak – everything is remembered only through purely mechanical incoherent memorization.

There are no logical associative chains.

I repeat, a typical dump!

If a person is capable, at the right moment he establishes purely temporary surface connections between these pieces of knowledge lying around in different places of the dump. But only for a time of “great need”! The system still does not arise, usually due to the lack of basic knowledge and orderly thinking, the INABILITY to THINK CONSISTENTLY, LOGICALLY, and even more so, TRULY CREATIVELY!

(But everyone likes show off!)

And, unfortunately, this is NOT a deviation from the norm, but just the “national, worldwide” norm!

That’s how billions of mental dumps go around, foolishly imagining themselves as carriers of “broad erudition”, when this is just a diverse (rarely, at best, and usually even very, very monotonous) DUMP in terms of subject content!

So Radek correctly noticed this in Klim. But there are eight and a half billion such “Klims”, the majority of humanity!
