After the war, everyone's a general. Nevertheless, I have to say that those who don't expect anything cannot be disappointed. What I mean is that the expectations were born later, that today's reality is being compared with the post-revolutionary hope in other words today's apples are being compared to the oranges of seven or eight years ago. If we logically compared today's reality with the pre-revolutionary reality, it is likely that there would be less disappointed people. Yes, everything essentially hinges on expectations, and that will most likely be the largest stumbling block.
Expectations are basically passive.
Back then, it was enough just to fulfill the plan. The Idea of the Great Architect. It has so effectively got under our skin that knowingly or unknowingly we are still behaving in the same way. The masses are waiting for Someone to ensure that from one day to the next they'll rebound from a little belt-tightening and head off in the direction of prosperity. And that Someone is expecting everyone to cheer him on, freely re-elect him every four years, and otherwise not meddle in his affairs.
