What does with the person the power and what are the fruits of efforts of the person in power? Who actually uncompromisingly counteracts the authorities and whether a complete victory of one of the parties is possible? What is the primary source of the development of society? Is not it curious to take a look at all this from the highest bell tower, if thou is not too lazy to climb up on it!?
The popular masses in the state always allocate from themselves the elite (the intellectual-governing part, on the quality of which both the existence of the state and its development depends). The quality of the elite is determined mainly not by any external influences, but by the level of own collective self-consciousness, which in turn depends on the level of self-consciousness of each individual entering into the elite, accumulated in the course of the country's historical development.
In particular, the low level of self-awareness of the elite, expressed in its excessive conservatism and autarky, inhibits both the public and technological development of the state. Besides, this conservatism puts this state in the subordinated position in the relation of other states owing to the accumulated backwardness sooner or later and does the elite by the comprador concerning the states which were more advanced in the cultural and technological relation.
