Discussion of the pension reform catches up with me from every channel. Doesn’t the fact that for some time the number of beneficiaries of this predatory clusterfuck will not grow—not reduce the number of beneficiaries in the future, and not increase the chances that in perspective this clusterfuck might possibly be cancelled altogether?

anonymous question

The fact that the state will collectively receive more money from working people and return less to those who have reached the threshold age will only increase the number of beneficiaries of this predatory clusterfuck. A pensioner receiving an old-age pension is not a beneficiary of the pension clusterfuck; they are just as much a victim of it as someone who didn’t live to see retirement—they have simply been compensated for part of the damage previously sustained. The beneficiaries, however, are the pension fund employees and those who manage the plundered pension savings. Naturally, there will only be more of them as a result of such a reform.

One can conditionally agree with the logic of “the worse, the better.” The more victims the system has, and the fewer chances they have to receive any compensation within the system, the more reasons there are for the complete abolition of the system; whereas if the robbery were more moderate, far more people would be willing to tolerate it, and the few dissatisfied people would talk about reforms rather than the abolition of the system.

On the other hand, the worse, the worse. “The poor pray that their poverty is guaranteed.” Try to abolish the system of robbing the working class all at once if there is a hole in the pension fund and the elderly are universally destitute without savings—they will tear you apart, no matter how charismatic a reformer you are.

Example of the only reasonable behavior toward the pension system

And, as already mentioned, there is no more reliable tool for pension savings today than bitcoins. So you can donate a few of them to my channel 1A7Wu2enQNRETLXDNpQEufcbJybtM1VHZ8, and set aside the majority for your own old age.

Rallies of July 29, results of the day

Today, 5,700 people attended the rally in Moscow. Before the rally began, the police prevented the banners from being mounted on the stage, and immediately after it ended, they detained the organizers.

The Kemerovo rally was also disrupted: the organizer was detained even before it started. They were released and given a summons for Tuesday, accused of illegal campaigning for an unauthorized action, although there had been a court decision ordering the action to be coordinated.

In Chelyabinsk, instead of an unauthorized rally, single-person pickets were held; activists were detained, their statements were taken, and then they were released.

In Yaroslavl and Rybinsk, it went without incident, but it wasn’t very crowded.
In other words, we are already being noticed, but not yet feared.

It was already clear that the April rally for Telegram was a great stroke of luck: they managed to apply before everyone else, received approval, and interested Durov.

Now it is clear that against the general backdrop of protest, when literally every social movement is holding its own action, it will not be possible to stand out as brightly. And many continue to believe that the intensification of state robbery is, for some reason, not their business.

Anyway, politics is not just occasional super-efforts, but also routine work. We will continue to convey our ideas.

Rally in Moscow

Update. The organizers of the Moscow rally have been released; they are charged with violating the rules for conducting mass events, court date is August 2
