..”At this point, Professor Tratatouille finally finished his report, receiving very stormy applause.
- Oh, Marcus! I understood everything he said! I thought it was some kind of sound gibberish, but it’s even very interesting! - Sylvia whispered.
Then Doctor of Economics Tarakabder spoke, explaining at length that it is precisely for the sake of some positive and stable Targou-Tarakonsa index that the countries of the free world must raise the entire economy on the planet, which allows for the creation and emission of new money for the stabilization fund, which, accordingly, is invested in subsidizing new technological developments, etc. That is, he justified the participation of the Free World economies in those stages of the NEPs, when authoritarian states quickly developed their military-industrial complex. In addition, he expressed the clearly naive assumption that raising the economies to a certain level can give people a chance to get rid of autocracies and move on to democracy. The next floor was given to the representative of the Institute of War Research, Doctor of Conflictology, Admiral-Professor Gottesankakabeters. The Admiral-Professor, resembling a stocky Mantis with elytra that had a coloring like Khaki-pixel, also congratulated those present and began his report.
– Esteemed ladies and gentlemen! We have just listened to short reports from the honorable Professors Taraytas and Tratatouille, in which they summarized the results of the extensive work of their research groups, reflected in numerous articles, monographs and conference abstracts. It should be noted that the work of these scientists enjoys great attention in the World of Science and always has very high citation indices! Doctor Tarakabder also explained to us the meaning of some purely economic mistakes that we have made so far. We have long been observing the successes of research groups headed by these venerable professors and doctors of science and often refer to their articles, because our research organically intersects with them, interacts and complements each other. So, let’s try to briefly apply these theoretical approaches to the current situation in our world. There is our state - the main democratic state of our World, the United States of Dictyopterica. There are also several dozen democratic countries on the continents of Kokroumerika and Targassia. But the number of countries with an authoritarian type of system in the world is much greater both in area and in population. In the last two decades, many millions of residents from authoritarian countries have moved to democratic ones. Unfortunately, among them there were quite a lot of agents of autocracies. In addition, in the elections, as it turned out, a large number of the electorate are sympathizers of candidate Tarakamp, ​​who has certain autocratic traits. It would not be superfluous to also recall Messrs. Targaska and Tarakarson. Three years ago, the huge Targasian authoritarian country of Tartarakania launched a full-scale invasion of Gottesanukria, but received a powerful rebuff. Tartarakania is several times larger than Gottesanukria, but the former was subject to global sanctions as an aggressor, while the latter is being helped by the entire World. Everything is moving towards the defeat of Tartarakania. However, the situation has long since gone beyond the scope of a local conflict. The problem is that large and powerful centers of authoritarianism lovers have somehow formed in all democratic countries. Representatives of these groups often do not even hide their intentions to establish a global New Order in the world - the Last Autocracy. After that, as we have already understood, there will be no way back to democracy and progress. An irreversible path of regression will begin, on which, as we understand, all those “Vectors of Civilizations” that the esteemed Professor Tratatouille told us about will be radically destroyed! There will be a targeted artificial selection in the direction of non-creativity, which will lead to total debilization and the transformation of our targahumanity into uncreative relics. We have been observing this phenomenon in Authoritarian countries for many years, and we see what the plebs are turning into in, say, Tartarakania! We need to immediately create a World Anti-Authoritarian Headquarters and conduct coordinated world work to effectively counteract World Authoritarianism! Thank you for your attention!”..
