I think the readers have heard the explanation of all problems in our country, the strangeness and singularity of Russian capitalism, with a traditional conclusion at the end about the effectiveness of the invisible hand of the market. In this article I will try to show what are the differences of capitalism in Russia and capitalism in the West.
According to the Hollywood picture of the man in the street sees that the situation in the West (here meaning Western Europe and the USA) much better than in Russia. So first on the ground did not hesitate to say that in the West, people live better because of the robbery of the capitalist periphery refers to, including, and Russia.
On this subject, written mountains of books and conducted many studies, the verdict of which was the conclusion that if not a policy of looting the rest of the world, in the West (first in Europe and later in USA) would not even capitalism! It is no secret that industrialization under capitalism, requires tremendous effort and money and, as has become clear to researchers, for it has little domestic market and domestic savings. For example, 12 of the 19 million pounds of investment to the English economy in the 16th and 17th century was brought from the colonies. At the time the numbers are fabulous. The United States became a world leader thanks to the two World wars, when the capital from the rest of the world fled to the quiet States. A post-war American loans enslave the war-ravaged country. And it seems that the “Golden billion” is going to live for others and further, loans today for the periphery of the “civilized” countries have issued on such terms that the debtor country Silas as possible.
“The IMF even admits that robs the country and the people. On the official website of the IMF published a study which reports: “When countries remove restrictions on cross-border movement of capital, often observed increase in income inequality… And the effect is even more pernicious if liberalization is accompanied by financial crisis, and financial institutions of the country itself is weak. We also see that the share of national income, directed on wages, liberalization reduced””.

Do I need to say more about the causes of the wealth of the West?
The second reason is double standards. For example, to prohibit in the countries of the periphery, which contributes to the development of their economies and to use the same in their own countries to develop their own economy. How is it!? – cry liberal, – under capitalism this does not happen. Where free competition? But loans from the IMF or the world Bank it is impossible to obtain without performing a specific package of commitments, which include various restrictions.
Question # 1– do you have any tsivilizovannyi” countries, government subsidies? Is. The EU spends a third of the annual budget to support the agricultural sector and in the periphery of the indebted international financial institutions such forbidden to do under threat of fines and sanctions.
Products of Russian agricultural producers is difficult to find in Europe. And it’s not just African swine fever and avian influenza. The Russian capitalists have to bid on a product competing with the offer of a local farmer, on whose support the EU spends more than a third of the annual budget. Of course, the Russian capitalist as with the king, the priest, did not scruple to sell the product and at bargain prices, if only the profit rang in his pockets, and the cost can be passed on to the Russian peasants or wage workers in agriculture.

Question No. 2 – whether under capitalism, government regulation and government planning? Is. The crises of capitalism drown even large companies, such as Lehman Brothers in the US in 2008 to prevent similar incidents, the US government supports their “Champions” afloat at the expense of taxpayers, infusing billions of dollars into a moribund company both industrial and financial
Here is an example of state planning from Germany. Industry 4.0 is the so – called “future project” of the German Federal government. This is a strategic plan for the development of the German economy, involving the Commission of a breakthrough in the field of information technology. But unlike, for example from the US, where developing IT-technologies in social networking, entertainment, communications, the Germans aiming network connection of industrial equipment and entire industries.

As you can see, in Europe and the United States enjoy the services of the bourgeois state, a “democracy for export” the function to use is prohibited. The debtors proposed to pay all at the mercy of the market and squander of state property in private hands, and the hands of the capitalists of all countries of the “Golden billion”. And we wonder why life in Russia is worse. Yes, all thanks to the double standards of the West, which in one part of the planet keeps a high standard of living at the expense of the rest of the planet. Let me remind you that on Earth there are 7 billion people, ie 1 to 7 or 14% live off the rest 86%.
So what is the difference between capitalism in the West and the capitalism in Russia. Yes, in General anything. There and there are crises here and there the bourgeois state intervenes in the economy to save at the expense of the citizens of the bankrupt bourgeoisie, there is and there governments are coming up with promising projects, because business is unable to Finance them. The only difference is in the capitalist hierarchy which has developed historically and a circle of “elite” countries have long defined. He is a “Golden billion” – the capitalists and their servants. This does not mean that the capitalists from China or Russia can’t get into elite Western club. Can. Only the rest of the people pass ordered.
But why bourgeois power in the West to feed their employees? The answer is simple – to minimize the possibility of the socialist revolution. But the greed of the capitalists knows no bounds and in the countries of “Golden billion” the reader sees the growing oppression and exploitation (think France, Greece), not to mention peripherals. For salaried employees there is no other option, except for the elimination of bourgeois social-economic formation and the revolutionary transition to socialism.
