ing person’s interest in the labour or its absence plays the determinative role in the
viability of one or another economic system. That is why the slave-owing system was
doomed from the very beginning. As soon as tool production technology achieves a
certain level of development, slave labour becomes ineffective and any economic
system based on it is doomed. As soon as the quality of products created by a free
man became considerably higher than the quality of similar products created by a
slave, the economic system of the slave-owing society began to collapse.

Thus, the simultaneous existence of two economic systems — the communal
and slave-owing — could not last indefinitely. As soon as the development of the
communal economic system began dramatically to excel the development of a slave-
owing one, the latter had no chance of survival. The waves of outcasts and forced mi-
grants periodically “splashed” onto the spaces of Europe, Middle Asia, the Middle
East and Northern Africa. Mainly these were the people of the white race or the grey
sub-race. The waves of outcasts were incredibly enormous during the Night of Sva-
rog, especially in the “dawn time”. There were also waves of forced migrants which
appeared because of climatic changes in Siberia and Far-East, or the aggressive at-
tacks of neighbours.

It is of interest that exactly the slave-owning system was evolutionally “ousted”
by the communal one, not on the contrary. The new waves of migrants and outcasts
literally swept away the slave-owning states of Europe, the Middle East and Middle
Asia. This fact is well-known, but no one pays attention to it for “some” reason. Eve-
ryone notes only the decline of the slave-owning states and their decomposition from
within is given as a principle reason for this “misunderstanding”; but the fact that the
“barbarians” from the north had a lot of Damascene steel weapons and excellent mili-
tary training and applied new fighting tactics is hushed up “somehow”. In the dawn
of every Night of Svarog the giant waves of outcasts “splashed” out from Asiatic
136
spaces (Asia – the land of asses (gods)) and crushed any resistance on their way. In
the sunset of the slave-owning era one of such waves of outcasts wiped out European
slave-owning empires and states. At the same time the new bosses did not revive
slavery, considering it to have no prospects, but created a combination of the com-
munal and slave-owning system.

Social parasites have never wished to work hard, “preferring” that others do this
for them, but they were not dolts. Therefore a slave-owning system was not recreated
in the conquered lands. An intermediate variant which was called the feudal system
was created. Feudal lords were the owners of lands and people who lived on them.
However, unlike slaves, serfs had a house, family and the right to have two thirds of
what they produced. One of the feudal duties was to pay rent for land usage which
was paid in cash or by products. Also a serf farmer (peasant) must work some time on
the fields of the feudal lord. The amount of rent differed from place to place, even
from one feudal lord to another; nevertheless, a working person became a small pro-
prietor, although he was not free. But, even such a half measure was an enormous

136 The word áss is believed to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *ansu-, related to Sanskrit *asura and
Avestan *ahura.
