Wandering

Is there a cure for Montenegro? What needs to happen for Montenegro to stop looking like this, and to join mature societies, and this "mature" should be read as a simple label that separates those societies that can deal with their own problems from those that are eternal hostages of their problems or misunderstandings. My own wanderings.

There are many ways in which we can see things wrongly. Probably one such mode (which can push you into a luxurious error) is the fundamentally noble need to hope for the better, which people usually call optimism.

The signatory of these lines is among those who wanted to see the good side of Montenegrin political changes in 2020. In the end, I believed and still believe that Montenegro has yet to experience different political active models - here the shadow of single-mindedness has long since covered everything. Well, then it is good to shake things up, to get out of the traditional trenches and to look for models of action that will make this society better or at least more mature. I reasoned similarly about the minority government - another ban has been won, and democracy must be learned, and I guess this is especially true for Montenegrins of "all religions and nations".

Then I remembered a beautiful story about a great and unusual mathematical genius. He disappointedly told the assistant who, driven by a dangerous combination of ambition and resentment (and that is a hellish combination in everything, including politics), wanted to impress the old professor with his work, after looking at the work - "This is not even wrong" ... Sometimes, simply, things need a view that is not afraid of mistakes rather than the safety of the well-trodden paths.

I used to hang out with a friend who always had extremely pessimistic expectations of everything. And, as far as I remember, my optimistic analyzes were extremely "convincing" and incomparably more beautiful than his dark visions, but, at least in the case of Montenegro, it almost always turned out that his prophecies were more accurate.

I remember that every time I see some of the details that irresistibly resemble those "old days". Personnel guesswork, "privatization" of success in the fight against crime, dilettantism appears every now and then in one form or another, new and old wanderings...

It seems that the problem is not the DPS of Montenegro, but rather its diagnosis. That is - they are all DPS. As they once were Comrade Tito. DPS is the true image of Montenegro - in any party form it is presented.

Montenegrins have always believed in "keeping up". That's mostly what got us here. In such a consciousness, any content is unimportant. "Attitude" is a key category of social self-definition. If you have "attitude", they believe, you don't need anything else. Those are your "proud waiters"... By entering politics, they begin to physically resemble each other.

However, it is not enough... For a change, a fundamental change, much more is needed. What we see on stage suggests that here visions of change stop before the landscape of armchairs and cabinets. The spirit of the endless political market, can never affirm principles. You will almost never really recognize principle in the fundamental values ​​that political parties affirm, no matter how much everyone invokes it.

The historical responsibility, precisely for the future of democracy in Montenegro, rests with the current minority government. They must clearly and urgently show courage and vision, otherwise they too will (too) quickly fit into a dangerous model of wandering and endless repetition of bad things. With the right "hold", it goes without saying.

This Government unites extremes, not only ideological but also logical. They somehow manage to act as if they know and as if they don't know what they are doing at the same time. At the same time, it seems that it will fall apart in fifteen minutes, but also that it will be eternal...

All that these young people are doing is probably not "even wrong". But I'm afraid that today's (and tomorrow's) Montenegro will need much more than that.
