Last year the American publicist Dan Casey wrote: “There is so much antagonism currently in the US, as well as before the beginning of the Civil War. Hate has reached an incredible scale. Earlier, Republicans and Democrats could not agree, but they had civilized debates, within which they were pronouncing the differences in opinions. Now there is only hate between these groups. Nothing good will come out of this … I am concerned that we are in a situation that precedes the civil war. And the business will not be limited by a financial collapse — it will launch a chain of events. “

We must understand that any civil war is the war for the future of society. Between those who believe that society needs to be radically restructured, and those who are confirmed that nothing needs to be changed. So in 1861 the northern part of the American establishment believed that it was necessary to complete the transition of the whole country to the industrial model of society. With a pragmatic goal — to increase the competitiveness of the United States in the global economy. This required the elimination of slave-owning relations in the southern states. While the southern part of the establishment did not want to change anything.

Most often, the conflict that leads to the civil war arises at the peak of the systemic crisis of society. Its essence lies in a critical imbalance between the developmental level of the society’s organization and public consciousness. It’s only the uneducated journalists and small townspeople can admire the fact that in the XXI century America lives on the constitution of the XVIII century. Undoubtedly, it is also possible today to buggy ride, but hardly anyone could think such method of transportation to be efficient in modern conditions.

The archaic society can function sustainably only in the conditions of resources to be in surplus. Because, even with a low efficiency of theirs usage, they are sufficient to achieve the goals, which the community has. And while America got the overflow of resources, the effectiveness of the antediluvian (ancient) society’s organization did not disturb the establishment. As it was before the Great Depression in 1930s. Then it was, namely, the lack of resources that forced the establishment to modernize the society’s organization in terms of managing the financial system. Moreover, responsible for the Roosevelt’s part of the establishment, for which it was necessary to defeat the conservatives of the cold civil war.

Currently we face the situation, when in the world’s richest countries a one fifth of citizens do not have access to health care services. On the other side Cuba, which is considered to be a poor state by all standards, has one of the best healthcare systems worldwide that is used by all citizens. This coincides only with a quality management issues — efficiency in the use of resources. Accordingly, this example shows that a systemic defect in the organization has been already presented in the American society.

Today America prospers only in cinema and advertising. While the public economy is having a breakdown. In the top 100 airports in the world there is no American one. The engineering infrastructure of the country is extremely worn out, because during the last three decades it has not been completely repaired — only patched up. The vast majority of cities and states are in fact in default. Like the whole country — more than forty trillion dollars of cumulative debt, taking into account the modern structure of public spending is not giving an opportunity to pay as a matter of principle. And since “nothing lasts forever under the Moon”, the bankruptcy of the country is only a matter of time.

As for the homespun speculation that “America will print money,” we will provide the opinions of the most influential American financiers, considering this topic. In fact, it is recognized that the financiers have led the liberal globalized market, created by the USA to a dead end. And there is no way out. Jim Sinclair says: “Capitalism ended… (it) has come to its end … The financial system will explode, whatever we do … I’m happy that I’m 75 years old.” Jim Rogers expects a “collapse of biblical proportions.” Luc Ellis writes: “One can not get out of all of this (situation in the world economy) without causing chaos.” And what is “chaos” in the current globalized world? This is a horror, the scale and power of which can not even be imagined. And since the mine is ticking in the financial kitchen, and the financiers recognize this fact on their own, the prospect of a “great ass” is more than real. It turns out that everyone is waiting not even for a “black swan”, but already a “black pterodactyl.” And they argue only about the form it will come — a terrible end or horror without ending?

The system crisis of the society’s organization is observed in the form of a resonance of political, economic and social crises. Each of them has reached the most severe form. This situation really exists in America. And the part of the establishment has realized that the organization of the American society has already been hopelessly outdated — overworked its resources and therefore it is not able to cope with the problems that Cuba successfully copes with. And the failures of all the foreign policy projects of the United States (without any exceptions) testify that the vaunted America is not able to solve any of the public problems successfully at all. The publicist Michael Snyder states sadly : “… decades of extremely stupid decisions made the arrival of the greatest economic crisis to become inevitable in the history of the United States. When it fully shows itself, the human suffering, which will stand along with the crisis development, will be truly unprecedented.” Here you need to understand that the publicists are not writers — they do not fantasize, but only voice the opinion, which was formed in the appropriate environment.

Therefore, the part of the establishment, which realized the situation, decided that it is necessary to tackle the cardinal reform of the country’s organization. While the conservative part of the establishment believes that there is nothing that has to be to change, the crisis will naturally come to the end one day in the future. The politicians are considered to be the top of the “iceberg” of, as they say, ruling class. That’s why they are well aware that being a part of the existing society’s organization they will be completely replaced during the radical reformation. Because for another society’s organization, other politicians of different quality will be needed. And as historical experience shows, only a small part of politicians manage to change their quality to an adequate level for a new society’s organization.

Today, the overwhelming majority of politicians are on the conservative side. That was demonstrated by almost unanimous vote in the Congress and the Senate on new sanctions. This is an obvious evidence that the ideological antagonism between Republicans and Democrats has remained in the past. Today the the legislative and executive branches of US power are showing their hate to each other. It turns out that the Capitol and the White House appeared to be the strongholds of the belligerents — the branches of power.

The question for the establishment, regarding the future of America, has become the most important, acute and dangerous at the moment. And the establishment has split into two deadly hating parts, considering this question. The evidence of the fact that hate has reached exactly this level is that that the parties has completely abandoned not only the rules of civilized competition, but even elementary decencies — they switched to the ethics of war.

In this case they need to understand that for a half of the century every American knows that Russia is the only country in the world, which can destroy the US. Therefore, everyonе is getting stuck with the idea that Moscow is the deadliest enemy. With such understanding of the world, the opposition’s statements that the president is an agent of the Kremlin’s influence sounds like a political mess, has already been crossed all bounds. A similar case from our history comes into the mind. When, at the end of 1916, the Russian opposition stormed the autocracy, it declared the imperial couple to be, first of all, the German agents.

The statement of D. Trump that he is not going to abide by all the statements about the law on sanctions — only those, which he himself considers to be lawful, willbe observed. And this attracts the most sacred thing. Because the “Holy Trinity” of the Americans worldview is “the dollar, the law and the greatness of America.” The president’s refusal to comply with the adopted law in a fully manner, in fact, means a response announcement of the war by the executive power to the legislature. As it was before, stipulating limitations of presidential power by law, the Capitol declared war to the White House.

So currently the cold civil war in the USA has already passed from the latent phase into the open one. But the real alignment of forces in the establishment will become clear after the next congressional and senate elections. Because of the fact that the previous elections were peaceful — the establishment has not been split into irreconcilable opponents yet. Therefore, it (establishment) delegated the old representatives of politicians — diligent executors of the will of the single and unified establishment — to the legislative power.

The rapidity of the political process is the reason for understanding the current situation in the country. The understanding, which was formulated by Z. Brzezinski shortly before his death, that “the United States is following the path of the USSR.” That means a direct course towards a similar collapse. And the situation in the country has already corresponded to the situation in the USSR in the mid-1980s. Fundamental problems exist in all spheres of society, moreover, their scale has reached the critical values, the management of society has ceased to be minimally effective, and the ruling class has degenerated into an inadequate horde of parasites. Therefore, they need to do something and take the necessary steps without delay.

And in this case, as the say, “bodies are buried” in the form of a question where should the US be directed? The fact is that in the last third of the twentieth century, neoliberalism became the ideology of the ruling classes of the West. His main idea lied in the thought that social development was over — the Western man and the Western democratic society are “the pinnacles of evolution.” And only the products of labor and the technologies of their production are going to develop in future.

That is why, according to the example of the USSR, all the developments, which were oriented on the goal of the further social progress, were stopped. As a result, at the moment Western social scientists have no idea what the society of the next developmental level should look like-what goals will be achieved, in what ways, using what forms of social relations and how the society’s organization-its institutions and legal system-will change in order to achieve these objectives.

The whole thing is assigned to be the intellectual provision for a community. The industrial society was formed by a materialistic philosophy, ideologies derived from it, and social science theories derived from ideologies. It has already been obvious today that there is a crisis in the countries of the First World, which is only appeared in the industrial society — the completion of the industrial stage of social development. But the USSR with the European socialist countries became only the first victims of this crisis.

This means that the countries of the First World have to move to the fourth stage after the ancient, feudal and industrial level of social development. And this is the most difficult transition from all the possible ones. Because the society of the next level must be as fundamentally different from the industrial one, as the industrial one differs from the feudal one. Accordingly, it does not require the modernization of the existing society, but the creation of a fundamentally new one.

And this requires the establishment of a new philosophical system, derived from it ideologies and derivatives of the ideologies of social science theories. Only with such an intellectual provision it is possible to start moving into the future. Because without this, the idea of sending the society somewhere sounds the same as the captain of the ship goes to the sea, not knowing the destination, without maps and navigational instruments.

It is worth to remind that both M. Gorbachev and the liberal Red Guards led us to the future, knowing only the world market and democratic folklore, having false maps faked by the West and using reformers as a candidates, who can only blowed the smoke at the bureaucrats’ party, at the first case, and are able to do really nothing at all but got money, secondly. The results are known — firstly, the collapse of the superpower, furthermore, the ruin of the country.

In the West, these results are known. And they has already understood that in the matter of creating the intellectual supply, which is necessary for any approach as an advance into the future, as they say, “it behooves”. At the same time, it takes not less than ten years to create an acceptable quality of such provision. While the global crisis is rapidly approaching its apogee.

In this situation, the reformatory part of the establishment decided to follow the option chosen by the Russian government — to return the society to a prosperous past. Because our government has been leading the country into the past for fifteen years, trying to restore society to the developmental level of the “happy” year of 1913. The reformist part of the establishment looks more adequate — D. Trump went to the elections under the slogan “Let’s return America to the Golden 50's”. That means that the reformers have set themselves the goal of putting the US in an evolutionary drift. But, first, they need to bring the country in the order — to restore an acceptable level of management efficiency and solve the most dangerous problems. Only these conditions will provide them with the chance the drift to be relatively safe and will allow to wait for a new intellectual security, with which it will be possible to develop in the future.

But the conservative part of the establishment categorically disagrees with this option. It seems that it understands that they require the similar supply of resources as in 50’s in order this model of society’s organization exists. And today it looks unreal. Moreover, they need to know how to move into the past — they need to have completely different authorities in the terms of managerial qualities. But where to get them currently remains unknown. So the risks of returning to the past are not much lower than the risks of a blind movement into the future.

On the other hand, the modern organization of American society suits the conservatives a little bit. They are guided by the words of the Marquise de Pompadour “after usage deluge.” And for this, the authorities only need to keep the situation under their control. Finally, there is an example of North Korea, whose government manages to keep society in the frozen state for more than half a century. Moreover, the country has chronic and at the same time very serious problems and a clear lack of special managerial abilities.

So the scale of the schism of the establishment, the irreconcilability of the parties’ positions, the intensity of the struggle and its purely military ethics as a whole indicate, clearly, the reality of the full-scale civil war, which has already been going on in the US. Currently cold. And it has already become obvious that her shock waves will inevitably shake the whole world. While it just feel small shakes. And the quotes of American experts used in the article explain how it will be shaken for real.
