The title roughly translates as "criticism and self-criticism" in English, but is rendered in Russian because in that language it is a Soviet term of art, denoting a particular institution built out of personal theater and institutionalized nonsense. In order to understand it, you will have to read it in that context. In order to understand how it applies to your own personal situation and generally the culture you live in, whether you want to or not, as an EPL person we will have to restate the Maslow hierarchy of needs. It went like so :

I. Homeostasis. This means, drink when you're thirsty, food when you're hungry and a warm place to shit in. This is purely biological, and shared with all life on Earth (and probably beyond). II. Material domination. This means, the ability to move around in the environment at will, at a minimum, and is a part shared with most lifeform models that came out more recently than slugs. For more advanced animals it includes specific environment structures. Cats want a perch. Men want tools they can use, and the use of which is effectual, that's to say changes the environment. That's why boys were so excited when 3D shooter makers finally got enough juice to be able to make bullet holes. Stuff like "enough stimulation to not get bored" also ends up in here, which is why solitary confinement is so scary to your average John : it has absolutely nothing to do with "society", as naive socialistoid theorists readily imagined. It has everything to do with stimulation, as long as they have the flickering screen shutins are just fine without people around. III. Sexual domination. This means, the ability to pin a female of the species down long enough to stick it in her. Strictly, strictly that. This is shared with all mammals, for that matter, and while some people may consume a more refined version of the above, nevertheless the need itself is quite as raw as stated. Whether you eat pressed duck or mcshit, whether you order your wife to bring in the maid on a leash or run around groping girls on the campus, it's still number 3. IV. Social domination. Making other males (and sexually uninteresting females) kiss your feet and thank you for the privilege. That's it : the humility of others, their inferiority readily acknowledged is need #4. Obviously, most people don't get to satisfy need #4. Tough and fuck you. V. Mystical domination. This isn't even a need, most everyone can live just fine without even touching it, however it does yield some bitter pathology. This is all about being right when you shouldn't be, or there's no reason to be. It's what makes the compulsive gambler, incidentally : "being lucky" is not merely winning some money, but it's satisfying #5 too, which is why people readily play -EV games : what they get when they win is slightly more than the cash. This is also what makes the religious believer, and if one absolutely has to satisfy this idiocy, religious belief is probably the cheapest approach.

Now let's look at things. If you take your average married guy, getting enough at home, he may occasionally pass on a romp with the missus, but he will never pass on a meal. He could in principle say "you know honey, I won't be having any dinner tonight", sure, but in general it's not quite as likely as "you know honey, I'd rather just jack it tonight", however unstated that naked truth may be. Meanwhile his incel teenaged son would pass a week's worth of eating to stick it in most any classmate. At least half of them qualify, and they're girls picked mostly at random.

To put it in proper perspective : the noembaucado correctly gives preference to need #1 over need #3. The embaucado however, does not. Out of this error of the embaucado an extraction engine can then be built, and on the existence of that extraction engine another, parasitic extraction engine can also be built. Which is the whole story with the whole PUA, Red Pill and all that : they're an engine trying to extract a little need #1 and #2 from you in exchange for letting you see how others are extracting a lot more need #1 and #2 from you in exchange for satisfying your need #3, which isn't really how it should work. That's the whole fucking story, they go "Hey Moe, pay us a dime and rub our feet because we're going to tell you how [...] is tricking you to pay them a dolla and clean their house to get you laid. AND IT AIN'T WORTH IT!1!1 THEY'RE EXPLOITING YOU MAN!".

Of course it ain't worth it, and the reason it ain't worth it is that it's never worth to trade low on the scale for high on the scale. Whenever you do, someone else somewhere else is showing green in some book.

Putting people in prison is not particularly effectual in stopping them from engaging in some classes of criminal behaviour exactly because they're aware it's not worth trading #1 for #2 (and the frequency of spoken Spanish in US jails may suggest exactly why that's the case : they're natively familiar with the term of art!). They're not "sociopaths", defined as "failing to fuck themselves over for the greater glory of society". You are the sociopath, because the pathology involved happens to be exactly the inverse of what you imagine it to be. This is precisely why "you can't build a society on criminals" : yeah, in order for it to be +EV you kinda need the quiet, law abiding, tax paying type. If we can make a deal so that your freedom to move is contingent on your payment of money, then we can build the greatest society there can ever be. Once we're done grafting the shit out of it, of course, but that's a secondary point. Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain.

While it makes perfect sense for a woman to trade #3 for #1, and so extract a little out of the willing chumps all around, that's not going to have a very good name : society's not making a buck out of that. Meanwhile the worst deal a woman could possibly make is give up #3 in exchange for #4, and yet that's exactly the trade she's been stuck with forever : in exchange for not having sex, she may be "treated like a lady", which is shorthand for a fool, but who's counting ?

Think of it, "society" doesn't simply trade #3 for #1 and #2. It couldn't, society doesn't have a cunt, and if it did it'd probably smell quite bad. Instead, it finds some poor soul whose #3 to trade for the #1 and #2 it pockets, and in exchange... that poor soul gets a #4! Admire the beauty of this, it's gravy on both ends! Work hard in school so you may graduate and go to college, work hard in college so you may get a diploma, work hard with that diploma to pay for all the debt and buy a diamond ring for some poor girl that's not even going to get laid because someone traded you her cunt for all your wasted time. Oh, what's that I hear, you didn't buy a diamond ring, did you ? Forsooth! Did you ever kiss a lady's toes ? Aww, not even the pinky ? It's so cute... Never stuck your tongue in between, where that ticklish flap of skin resides ? No ? A breakthrough is thee, valiant sir Knight, but ever kissed her hand ? Oh, that's not the same thing. I see. May your journey never end.

Whores and sluts aren't any more "broken women" than [certain classes of] criminals are "psychopaths", but then again there's nothing quite as productive for society as getting you to pay sweat and blood on God's green Earth in exchange for "riches untold in the Kingdom of Heaven". Best swindle that could ever be, as De Beers will certainly attest.

And so now here we are, we've not covered all of these, but I think you get the general idea : whenever someone's trading low for high, someone else's showing green somewhere, somehow. It's the golden rule of society, this is how humanity works.

Now consider the case of the Soviets, as applied to your own circumstance. Have you noticed how the US Soviets, ie the CGR-politics people take a lot of pain and put a lot of effort into illustrating that they're fallible ? That's what gave the show away for me, actually.

You see, what the great libertard movement offers is a lot of #5, which is to say, being right when you shouldn't be or there's no reason to be. This is easy : if reality is created by consensus, then just identify some things most idiots in your victim demographics may want to believe, and declare them true. End of fucking story, you're delivering on 5 in spades. That may not be enough, as Lenin found out, so you're best advised to add a sprinkle of #4. Every so often it helps if your victims may be wrong about things, because this gives them an opportunity and an excuse to suckle the toes of every individual member of the group. Not "of the group", we're not stupid enough to be drinking our own kool-aid here, but of each individual member. And this is great because you see, sooner or later one or another, maybe even three our four people out of ten thousand or so may realise just how fucking stupid the whole charade is. What are they going to do then, go read Trilema ? Reading Trilema is fucking hard, for one thing the articles are long, for another they're un-fucking-readable let alone comprehensible, covered in a hopeless web of reference, citation, insinuation and endless enumeration that just gets you having to re-read while feeling stupid and small. Plus the guy's an asshole, laughing it up all the while, up in his ivory tower of good luck, genetic, socioeconomic, cultural and semantic privilege with his complicated shoes.

You don't want that. What you want is an opportunity to banish the thought, and what works better than being sorry and suckling some toe ? So there you go, out of your own skin the glue binding you together to your fellow derps is built, and out of your own failed rebellion the reinforcements for it. What do you get ? Why, you get to be right, even though you know you shouldn't be, nor is there any reason you should be. And you get to, occasionally, enjoy the humiliation of others. Why did you think apologies were such big business of late ?

And what's it cost ? Why, a trifle. You're going to be poor, living off noodles and pop. You're going to be caged, either in your concrete box "at home" or in a direct equivalent, so that you will never actually travel. And you're never going to get laid. Not in the proper sense, at any rate.

So on the bottom line, we have 4+5 traded for 1+2+3. You know what ? It'd seem to me this is a much better deal than the 4 for 1+2 thing traditional, patriarchal society had going. This seems like it'd actually afford to extract a lot more out of the participants than the old system did. Are you surprised it's taking over, then ? In with the new, out with the old, let's all vote for change, I say :)

Understand that I don't at all mind this system. I lived for decades in it. I did very well. Cunt was never easier, nor ever more eager. You I can accomplish feats of material domination scarcely imaginable for the untrained mind (just think all the stories of soviet wastage but in reverse, "one day I was bored so I set Rome on fire" sort of thing). As far as I'm concerned life's good in the dictature of the proletariat. And as far as you're concerned... well you don't really have an option, now do you ? You don't, and you know you don't. You'll never make enough to pay for that college debt you had to take on. You'll never move out of your shitty rental, unless someone kicks you out, your job moves you, whatever. Maybe when you retire, right ? Sure. You don't even want to pin a woman down in the first place, it wouldn't be nice nor something you'd want.

So I guess what I'm saying in the end is that we're perfect for each other. This has been the критика. You may proceed with the самокритика at your own pace, but be sure you share with the group of your own volition before you're forced to. It's... nicer that way.
