Es de reciente data la concentración de poder político alcanzada por Morena. Eso incide en la actuación de sus miembros. En él hay dos clases de políticos: los de origen priista y aquellos que, por haber actuado al margen del aparato gubernativo, no estaban acostumbrados a obedecer. Los políticos formados en la disciplina priista no han tenido dificultad en adaptarse al nuevo amo; saben obedecer y disciplinarse. Los otros, con sus asegunes, aunque lamen el yugo, no se han acostumbrado a él. Son la excepción y pocos. El poder y las canonjías que su ejercicio implica son la mejor escuela para aprender los rudimentos de la disciplina. Obedecer, y obedecer bien, deriva de la costumbre. Nadie nace dócil; no es natural obedecer. Son la educación, los castigos y los premios los que permiten el sometimiento.

The degree of the Party's concentration of power is a recent development. This has an effect in the attitudes of its members. Within Party structures there are two types of politicians: those with origins in the NRF and those that, by virtue of having been outside the government apparatus, are not accustomed to obedience. Politicians formed in the NRF tradition of discipline have had no difficulty in adapting to the new masters; they know how to obey and be disciplined in their actions. The others, while being under the same yoke, are not used to it. Power and the perks that come with exercising it provide the best schooling on the rudiments of discipline. To obey, and obey well, is the product of routine. No one is born docile; obedience is not natural. It is education, and the use of the carrot and the stick that enable subjugation.

I was a beast upon the earth, a salamander or an eel. Water passed through that earth as streams pass through a garden. Beside each stream grew sweet grass. Not much of it, but enough to feed little aphids, who lived mean and starving lives.

Now there came an upwelling of water from the earth, so that the streams ran fat and slow. The grass grew thick. The aphids mated and multiplied. Ants came to enslave the aphids, and the aphids joined together to oppose them. And in victory they returned to tend their grass, to aerate its roots and spread its seeds. So they did thrive.

Now it occurred to me that I might join two streams by crawling between them on my belly. Having done so, I saw that I might dam one stream to divert its water into the other. The aphids of the first stream came to me in protest, but I said to them, "Go to the new pond I have made, and join the aphids there in cultivation, and I will send more water unto you."

And they were greatened by the joining.

Thus, I proceeded to join all the streams together into one pond. And whenever the aphids of a small stream might protest, I said to them, "Go, look at my pond, and see the plenitude I have provided to my people there." When it became necessary to stop those upstream from polluting the water, I offered them the bounty of our pond, the grass and the watercress. And if they did not yield, I sent the ant-fighters against them, because their petty good injured the good of the all.

I appointed ministers of water and soil and seed and war, and to the most loyal, I gave these posts as reward; but ultimately their power depended on me, for they were aphid and I was Leviathan.

In time, I became the coordinator of all water and the dispensator of fertility. Then I became the coordinator of coordinators, and I gave up the control of thirst and life for control of those who had control. And all my craft became the pure and abstract management of power.

Then saw upon the horizon a wave, and the wave was God, and it approached me, saying, "We are as one, you and I. We are the gathering of the waters. Gather unto me as they have gathered unto you; we will be as one." The aphids screamed and begged me for salvation. But I was not of them. I was of the wave.

Notions for a national political/moral/cultural guiding ideology
Names: The Golden Path, Eternal Mandates, Zhangwo, tablets of the brilliant mandates, mastery of the material

general description
Zhangwo or Mastery of the Material is the guiding national ethos of the Corummese people and State. It is a belief in the superior cultural, moral and racial worth of Corummese people and their special place in the history of not just Alshar but the world. The term Zhangwo was coined by the First Minister and philosopher Heian Xiujian in a treatise describing the foreign policies of the Yang dynasty and his justifications of external conquest by claiming the material world as the divinely granted inheritance of the Corummese race. Later intellectuals sponsored by various dynasties would further expound on notions of racial and cultural superiority veering on arrogance and xenophobia, ideas that further seeped into the public consciousness upon contact with non Corummese polities such as the expansionist Muslim caliphates, nomads from the northern plains and western explorers.

To them, there are no states, only zones and territories, Peeter explains. Russia sees itself as being surrounded by vassals and ancillaries – there is no third option.

They’ll never come to terms with the breakup of the USSR,“ Mežviets says. As Russia’s leaders themselves have declared: Russia ends where it is stopped.

It’s a conqueror’s mindset,Everyone around them are enemies.
