HOW TO WIN THE MOVEMENTS
July 25 2013
Any movement, whether it is national liberation, political,
environmental, human rights protection or, as it is now, pursuing
"local" objectives, are powerful insofar that people treat each
other better. It is not a romantic reverie, it is a proven fact. The
recently, the most popular 'case' was the nationwide movement formed in
2008, when the overwhelming majority of Armenians, regardless of their
political and personal preferences, sincerely wished the government
not to be reproduced, and really systemic changes in the country take
place. More the search for traitors, "ambushes", secret government
agents, 'collaborationists' deepened, more the movement weakened and
blew down. The problem is that you do not need to rouse your supporters
or potential allies putting them into too narrow scopes, restricting
it by dogmas and formulations and slogans reminding 'mantras'. We have
to accept that people may fight for the same goal in different ways,
in compliance with their mentality and temperament. People need to
understand that each does the same job with its chosen method, and they
do not need to berate each other as to "why you do not do what I do,"
or "where were you when I ..." and so on. This last, "transportation"
movement is beneficial because it does not limit people with some
'program provisions' that are elaborated in the party 'politbureaus',
and sets a very specific purpose, the municipality should review its
decision and maintain the former transport price. Those who share
the idea, do their job in different ways, how much they want and how
righteous they consider. People feel certain affection for each other,
and when, for example, the owner of the 'Jeep' takes a passenger from
the bus stop free, the passenger is not thinking that "why does he
have a "Brabus", and I don't." Or the "non star" does not say "the
star" why are you famous, and I'm not.
Because being human and helping each other is more important than
driving a 'Brabus' or being famous. And those who think paying
150 drams is right and natural, or, however, is not going to fight
against that price... you should not become enemies with those people,
ridicule, bring shame on them, "inspire respect." Every manifestation
of blackmail and aggression has an adverse effect. Any movement will
succeed when its supporters will people included and not included in
the public sector, standing on different levels of different political,
religious beliefs, social hierarchy. These people need to genuinely
love and believe in each other, and respect and tolerate those who
are not involved in that movement. Everything seems to be clear. The
implementation is difficult.
