Comrades! Let us cast our gaze upon the current machinations of the Central Bank—that great temple of the financial bourgeoisie. Under the guise of 'combating inflation,' these high priests of Capital have tightened the screws of the key interest rate, oblivious to the fact that they are not fighting prices, but fighting the very lifeblood of the economy itself.

Behold the absurdity! The regulator maintains a suffocatingly high rate to curb demand, yet in doing so, they force the honest tradesman and the industrialist to bake the cost of these usurious loans into the price of future goods. It is a vicious circle, a labyrinth of their own making. As the learned Konstantin Ordov observes, the Central Bank has become a hostage to its own dogma. He rightly remarks that 'zero inflation' is a state found only in the churchyard—for in the cemetery, indeed, no prices rise. The bourgeoisie would seemingly prefer to kill all economic activity entirely, merely to boast that their target indicator has been achieved. A pyrrhic victory, indeed, bought with the misery of the proletariat!

This strategy of 'tight monetary policy' is nothing more than a blunt instrument of exploitation. The bourgeois logic has failed. The high cost of credit is now perceived as an eternal burden, driving the very inflation the Bank claims to despise. We are witnessing the triumph of the moneylender over the producer. The cost of this 'cure' is stagnation, the erosion of real incomes for the labouring classes, and the looming shadow of a systemic crisis.

Let it be known: the monetary methods of the financial elite are exhausted. While the bankers dwell in their counting-houses, the actual productive forces of the nation are paralyzed. For any new manufacture to breathe, the rate must descend to 10% or lower. At the current rates, the dream of new industry is a phantom, a cruel jest played upon the working man.

Instead of this monetary alchemy, we must turn toward the genuine expansion of internal supply and the replacement of foreign monopolies. Had we not wasted these years 'cooling' the economy—as if the workers' desire for a living wage were a fever to be suppressed—the horizon would be brighter. The Central Bank diagnosed a 'surheated' economy, yet the result is a growth of barely 1%. This is not medicine; it is a malpractice of the highest order!

The departure of foreign brands has left voids that our own industry could fill, yet the shackles of expensive credit force our enterprises to spend their last pennies on mere survival rather than development. Until the noose of the key rate is loosened and the grip of the financial capital is broken, the economy shall remain a prisoner to the greed of the few.
