Recently, Sergei Lavrov contacted me and asked me to draft a mission statement for Russia that should last the country through the rest of the 21st century. I took a lazy puff on a fat cigar and told him, “what took you so long, hombre?” We had a chuckle, he promised to send over some nice, homemade nastoika that he brewed up in the bathtub of his dacha and I immediately hung up and jumped to work. Here is what I came up with:
'... should we take drastic measures to boost the reproductive rate of Russians or not?' It's interesting you would select this, since I think it is critical for many groups but particularly for Russia. Russia never recovered from WWII demographically. In the 90's demographic calculations indicate Russia lost ~ 5 million people, greater than any loss in history outside a major war.
The solution is ... money. It used to be the case, that having children was financially beneficial ... more hands on the farm, etc. Now, it is the opposite. So, simply give a substantial stipend to each family based on the number of children ... not a token, real money. Print some rubles and give them out (that leads to another discussion ... of the financial system ... borrowed from the West). There is nothing more critical for Russia's future. Besides the World needs more blonde, blue-eyed people in it.
The core principle of strength means nothing if you don't clarify (1) who is to be stronger (2) why is this subject worth to be stronger and (3) how you define strength itself. It's very clear that you are approaching this matter by an ethonationalist (ethnopatriotist?) point of view, but that's exactly where the ideology lies. When zjuganov wrote "state and power" (I don't know the russian name) it was very clear that Russia was going to have a power politics, and that it was going to be based on geopolitic. At least, it was clear to me in the West. But if that's the case, why can't you simply boost immigration rates in order to have a bigger GDP, bigger army and as result better tools in order to drive the expansion? Why would you prefer a vast amount of Russian proletariats (increasing birth rates) instead of a solid core of international bourgeoisie ready to embrace liberal values and promote the economical advancement of Russia? And so on.
Strength through joy, though. Otherwise you risk returning to the commieblock and the forced industrialization plans. Banning abortion and contraception is also a bad idea. The dregs of society reproduce faster than the better element. In the long run, no birth control is a recipe for dysgenic death spiral.
Muscular Slavism. Teddy Roosevelt beams down from Valhalla in approval.
the world must band together to prevent the ascent of cybernetic slavs
