Strangely, people appear to find where I'm coming from obscure. Ignorance is a terrible thing.
That were when it dawned on Qine Mitch couldn’t do owt. His dad couldn’t. Because they didn’t own the land. Live on the estate, you live decent, you get a good school. You get a chance. Other places, you haven’t got a hope from the time you first see the light of day.. The whole of folks’ lives, their health, their kiddies’ schooling, it all depends on the capitalists.”
After three years of hard labour, Zulagan was thrown out of Kadun, for there are still powerful elements with an older and relatively more civilized approach to dissent: the door is over there, let us hold it open for you. He founds the Campaign to Liberate Kadun (CLIK) in Zur. That is not part of the jolly old game and he is mauled by the Azt slime-machine, an ex-convict, a common criminal. Do his politics not amply display his criminal mind! Zulagan has little time for the rights of property and CLIK an agenda more radical than is usual among the earnest. People imagine groups of honest working-men in floppies and dungarees sitting at slatted tables, probably with sawdust on the floor. Clean sawdust, mind.
“It cannot be a question,” said Mitch, “of changing just one thing or indeed of many persons working separately. All of us have tried that, the unions, my grandfather setting up hospitals. It makes not one whit of difference to the whole. There are lines you do not cross. Many people live decent lives. So long as they do not challenge the indecent. Not least the assistance of people like me enables some semblance of civilization to prevail in the country. In the cities people are buried alive! They think that tomb is poverty and lack of education. I say that tomb is there if you are me. I just get to stand upright. There is a granite slab above our heads and its name is infrastructure. You make people better and you send them home to damp rat-infested tenements. You shorten their working-hours but they can barely afford to eat, let alone engage in what the south called leisure-time activities. And the food is crap anyhow. I hold there is that which is not negotiable, over which there is no choice. What Fidubi landlord asserts his right to let property unfit for habitation? Everything must change, what and how people think, whether they respect all people. Entrenched power shifts only with revolution, preferably a revolution in thinking. “I move. I shake. I mingle in circles not wholly virtuous. The source of rot is the City. Personally I would think it erroneous to say Kadun is immune to international opinion. It has not been fully exposed to international opinion. Certainly nationalism is an issue and also a phoney nationalism, which demands conduct contrary to that of vermin be perceived as alien. There are those who hold Kadun will finally find her own way into the modern world. It didn’t work after Jaizal but it’ll work now because of mass communication, because of ease of travel. It will be organic, effected relatively painlessly. Indeed people will revolt. They will start of their own accord to do thngs differently, to be different. Because of modern telecoms, which in their way are marketing. Because of exposure to life elsewhere. I regard this as somewhat optimistic. There are powerful factions with alluring anti-democratic agendas. They have had some 1400 years in which to develop and adjust counter-arguments! They need to be under-cut. There needs to be a clearly defined alternative. There are still too many steel-workers in Tjulsit ready to believe anarchy will follow should they be paid a decent wage. The why needs to be clearly and simply delineated. CLIK’s campaigns are excellent, insofar as they make CLIK’s points, but CLIK’s agenda – I am really not averse to blaming capital where capital is clearly to blame, but I do not think that the whole story. You cannot blame an inanimate object for failures in individual human beings. The true enemy is power and power may manifest itself as capital but the two are not synonymous. If I appear to contradict myself, power is not inanimate, far from it. Power hurts those who challenge the system. Power terrorizes. Power moves behind the scenes to block any change.
“We say,” said Mel, “the only legitimate use of power is to keep power from those who most yearn for it, prevent them damaging the lives of others..”
“That,” said Mitch, “is not what we say, but it is surely to some extent what we do.”
“We call it the matrix. The ant-heap. The matrix says the rich guy called king in the palace on the hill is top of the ant-heap. Those with whom he comes into conflict might loathe him but they can’t actually do anything about him, meaning that they can use none of the tactics they use against little guys to stop him saying what needs to be said. It rests of course on belief in the ant-heap.”
Qine: Right, lads, a number of you have said nice things about democracy but I want to say that’s not enough and you prove it. It doesn’t matter a hoot to the likes of you how a country’s run. Big capitalists, rich. Company has a bad year, men laid off. I’m not disputing – I’d be a fool to dispute – you have a nice little democracy, there’s unemployment pay, there’s sickness, housing, nobody starves, nobody’s thrown on the street, and it’s all set at proper levels. What an unemployed working man gets a week in Zur, riches in Azt, keep a family for a month. But the directors aren’t touched, are they, the owners. And who decides, maybe things are looking up, maybe we can ‘afford’ to give folk their work back? I’ve run this by folk in the south and they say, maybe they’ve got better paid jobs elsewhere, maybe they’ve started their own businesses, and there’s a lot there, some I agree with, some not. Supposing the job a man’s lost is near his home and he has to travel more to get to another one. That’s a valid point, but then again he’s still at the mercy of the bosses, he can’t have things how he wants, and not everyone’s got the get up and go to start up on his own. I say a man has a right to a decent job with a fair day’s pay, without having to cross the country for it, and I hope no-one disputes there’s work enough to be done in Kadun, if only there were those who’d pay for it. Of course there’s no profit in public health..
So what I’m talking about here is democracy for the workers, putting things in their hands to do what needs to be done. I have to agree with the point Mitch made earlier – though maybe he learned it from me at that. Those of us who live in Kadun do have a habit of seeing things differently. I don’t think Zur needs its drainage seeing to! So where does that get us?
Taxation is one place. Those with money have paid the State to sort out the essentials. Not being one of them gilded few, I don’t think I can say how willingly they’ve done it, but be that as it may it’s been done. So, gentlemen, I’m just wondering how you defend your position. Our host, for instance. Sohenoil goes bust. Grandaddy has no problem. Banks in the City. All salted away. Money stolen from Kadun. I would say there are three points here. Some people having more money than other people. Some people having enormously more money than other people. How those people came by that money. I would not like to think I am narrow about these things. If some bloke starts with nowt and makes himself a pile, good luck to him, provided it’s not from sweated labour, and I know people’s made fortunes on the Grid.
Fit-for-use is the buzz-word. Electrical goods should not electrocute. Food should not poison. Roofs should not leak. Nor should wiring spontaneously ignite. Your home should not make you sick. There are non-negotiable standards which the rest of the continent takes for granted. What sane capitalist can have a problem with that? Should the poisoned, electrocuted, burned, flooded or ill survive, they will not recommend your product to their families and friends and enthusiastically return for more. Unless of course you have a monopoly.
Ah, the mysteries of branched splicing, switched neutrals and aluminium wiring. There are limits! cried Mitch. I do not have to qualify as an electrician. That is what we have experts for.
“We have learned – oh but we are thorough - that the vast majority of white goods are Ciletij imports, manufactured to Ciletij standards in Enbahaluk and that so far as anyone is able to ascertain – and we are so very thorough - there is no difference between them and those intended for the domestic market. Half a cheer therefore for our friends in Ciletij and one less problem!”
“You are going to rewire every table-lamp!”
“Have I not said,” said Zulagan, “we are engaged in educating people, further educating, I should say. People are not fools about their own safety and that of their loved ones Those who have been able to afford them have naturally purchased goods manufactured to international safety standards. Those folk, however, who have been essentially able to afford almost nothing have been prey to the unscrupulous capitalist and there has been a sort of dirty under-market in sub-standard goods. However, extremes of poverty and a multitude of electrical goods, such as the rest of the continent takes for granted, blenders, printers, heaters, do not mix. You talk in your own frame of reference to folk who have no table-lamps.”
It gets repetitive. Non-negotiable standards. Such as the rest of the continent takes for granted.
Shall we women of Ciletij deny to our sisters in Kadun the rights and freedoms we take for granted! Look, either they think Maya, Cantilip, Karula have designs on Ciletij or they think they’re ciphers!
Mel landed with a bump in G-T. A token demo against took place countered by a larger demo in favour.
Dabida backs this monstrous nonsense?
“Women’s rights, gay rights, people’s rights. What monstrous nonsense had you in mind?”
“You have let in a communalist government!”
“A symbiotic relationship,” said someone sounding proud of himself. “CLIK needs Sarat to maintain its unelected power.”
“The threat to your shares,” said Mel, “doesn’t come from CLIK.”
“From AMI! I hardly think – “
I’d noticed, thought Mel..
“Suppose we boycott Ciletij?.”
“The Quadrant – “
“Sohenoil is not the government of Fidub, nor AMI the government of Dabida. The Kadun market is or is about to be wide open. We don’t need you. You on the other hand need that market. That is Point One for those taking notes. Point Two is Kadun will export at an unprecedented level. We tin fruit. You noticed? A great deal of it is fruit bought from Carlin. Having bought the fruit from Carlin and tinned it, we sell it to half the world. Two A is there is no reason why some enterprising irturbi should not tin fruit. Two B is that, like so much else in this situation, the selling of fruit to us was a political decision. There is no reason why said enterprising irtubi should not be willing to pay more and now no reason why Carlin should not accept the higher price.”
“Get to the point.”
“Kadun will dominate. It has to. It has the potential. It has the leadership. It has the size. There is a mind-set insistent on seeing Kadun as victim. It is rather the rest of us expose ourselves to – unprecedented – competition.”
“The young lord and master is nonetheless funded by Sohenoil!”
“He is funded by Cho, which is not the same thing. Certain amount of absconding with the family silver together with a lifestyle from which conspicuous consumption is absent. Cho would be rolling without Sohenoil. Once in Azt, Sarat will retake possession of such family property as was left behind.”
“Real estate?”
“Who owns Azt will be much debated, ancient Azt at least.”
“Nonetheless, CLIK is now a power in Kadun. If CLIK is elected, backed by the people.”
“Does it seem to you entirely likely in the present context that the mass of people in Kadun will wish to demolish global capitalism, even if that were any longer CLIK’s agenda?”
“I confess I am frankly curious. Relations I assume are cordial!”
“Oh yes,” said Mel.
“The Dabidan model!”
“It works,” said Mel, “and CLIK are satisfied it works.”
“Ah, Dabida the paragon! There are no oppressed in Zur?”
“Not if I have anything to do with it,” said Mel. “It is human nature that from time to time people mess other people around. It is not human nature that it be countenanced.”
“600 years to perfect the act. I do not think your friend has such leeway.”
“We reckon we have six months,” said Mel, “from the time we take Azt.”
“Then it is doomed!”
“Six months,” repeated Mel, “to turn Kadun round, to make a visible difference to people’s lives.”
“Absolute power unimpeded by the democratic process.”
“Absolute power,” said Mel, “enforcing the democratic process.”
Then there is attack.
“There are no slums in Ciletij?” asked Sarat. “Unlike us, they do not think to do anything about them.”
“Domestic violence in Ciletij,” said Maya, “would appear to be a non-issue.”
Ciletij duly reacted like a disturbed hornets’ nest, meaning they buzzed furiously striking out at anything that moved, including the government of Ciletij.
It may be time, observed the leader in The Times somewhat caustically, that Ciletij look at who these young people actually are, which is to say Tar’s niece and the grandson of one of Fidub’s most radical politicians. Cho has raised hell for thirty years. It is hardly surprising Sarat is in the same mould though of course the scale of the mayhem far surpasses anything previously conceivable.
Only there is the future. To which a lot of people responded acidly, thought the problem was the past.
Nor can Ciletij make up its mind if the problem is Sohenoil or the problem is CLIK.
...
“You have entered a Cult-free Zone. And the very considerable resources of our three great nations were used to ensure it stayed that way. Meaning Kadun was a contaminant.”
“The border’s open now, sir.”
“Well done, that man. Meaning we have a vested interest in decontamination.”
“You cannot say Vasucula sat on the fence!”
“I surely can. I surely do. We tighten up any on the money-men?”
“We are a capitalist economy. There are no lengths to which we shall not go to foster global investment, maximum prosperity for all and the brutal murder of a beautiful young woman.”
“That’s what I just said. Get the bastards.”
....
“The Economic Liaison Officer told me to forget any crap I’d heard about her pivotal role – “
“Maybe not pivotal. Certainly crucial!”
Reakoed grinned.
“Maybe she can’t see just how important winding them up is.
“Kai is no financial nitwit,” said Hass. “She knows enough to carry off the job. But she’s not a financial genius, either, by which I mean she sees that figures can be made to dance, somersault, mysteriously turn up on the side of the world, but she doesn’t see how it’s done. Look, no hands! She is not, therefore, in this respect the best Sarat can come up with. That alone infuriates them! The best he can come up with are of course those to whom she rabbits when she gets back to Kadun.”
“Probably think it’s positive discrimination,” I muttered.
Reakoed laughed.
“That suits her just fine.”
“She waits for them to make a mistake?”
“Another mistake,” said Hass. “They made a mistake when they killed Maya. They of course know exactly who Kai is, everything they loathe and despise. They are forced to listen to her. She enjoys it enormously. Meanwhile Sohenoil amuses itself sabre-rattling. Sarat has a lot of time for Bal. He really doesn’t want to bring him down in flames, not to mention the human cost in unemployment, bankruptcy. They are not fools enough to think Sohenoil impotent but of course in their terms care for the human cost is a sign of weakness. Should they think Sohenoil too weak, Sohenoil has swallowed up – causing a certain amount of amusement in certain quarters – Livewire, Harn’s largest manufacturer of digital electrics, including of course the phone subsidiary, and Vivalia Publishing, whose titles include Glitz. People have taken to calling Sohenoil the Python, some flatteringly, others not. The Python Effect also stabilizes Bal to some extent. The message is succinct. We do not buy from Harn unless we happen to own the Harn company in question. By owning the Harn company in question, and thus enabling it to continue to sell to Kadun, we avoid down-sizing, lay-offs.
“I thought we were against monopolies!”
“Laters, laters. That is the war. In part, that is the war.”
“So – it’s a reversal – instead of the City owing half Kadun, Kadun owns half the City!”
“That’s the general idea, yes.”
“They tell her things? No, of course, light dawns, they expect her to tell them things!”
“I gather they can barely bear to talk to her at all. She’s all Sarat is prepared to give them, and I mean all – the commercial side of the Rep Centre has been shut down. Kai babbles – her word, like a little dancing brook. They hope she will let slip something she shouldn’t.”
“My brain has had better days but how does that – close the net?”
“Directly, not at all. Not all bankers in the City are pro-Cult. All bankers in the City find it prudent to pretend to be pro-Cult. She comes direct from Sarat. They know they can trust her. No-one is going to say anything of the slightest interest in a meeting where the Cult are present. She picks stuff up anyway.”
“Such as sorrowful murmurs that we are regrettably willing to deliver ourselves into the hands of Sohenoil!”
“The point, then,” said Maitlan, “is she is not a banker. She therefore does not have her own agenda.”
“Well spotted, that man!” said Reakoed.
Maitlan inclined his head.
“Speaking as a financial nitwit,” I said, “I think even I can see none of this stops financiers talking to each other all day every day.- there may be some in Kadun just as desperate to know exactly where Sarat’s going - ?”
“Sarat says nothing. Cho says nothing. Both occasionally yawn and swallow. Kadun has gone where Sarat wanted. People have money in their pockets and equally production has soared. The City is being ruthlessly excised from the equation and everyone with half an ear to the ground knows it.”
.....
CLIK went to town on it.
“We also are not morons. We have learned. What we say today is there’s nowt like a few big capitalists behind yer! You fight fire with fire not a leaking bucket. Anyone who thinks the working-people of Kadun could have achieved this on their own and not been crushed by capital is talking out of his – well, never mind.”
“Let me be frank,” said Zulagan. “The figures are on our Grid-site, we have nothing to hide. Who backed us? Choit-ban-varna. He did not have to back us. There was many a more mealy-mouthed organization if he’d wanted puppets. I appreciate that some folk have a mind that does not readily digest that the imperial family wanted our activism, but after 30 years in Fidubi politics that particular gentleman has a reputation in his own right, as you might say.”

I, Ysabel Jehan Howard, hereby assert and give notice of my right under s.77 of the Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988 to be identified as the author of this book
After three years of hard labour, Zulagan was thrown out of Kadun, for there are still powerful elements with an older and relatively more civilized approach to dissent: the door is over there, let us hold it open for you. He founds the Campaign to Liberate Kadun (CLIK) in Zur. That is not part of the jolly old game and he is mauled by the Azt slime-machine, an ex-convict, a common criminal. Do his politics not amply display his criminal mind! Zulagan has little time for the rights of property and CLIK an agenda more radical than is usual among the earnest. People imagine groups of honest working-men in floppies and dungarees sitting at slatted tables, probably with sawdust on the floor. Clean sawdust, mind.
“It cannot be a question,” said Mitch, “of changing just one thing or indeed of many persons working separately. All of us have tried that, the unions, my grandfather setting up hospitals. It makes not one whit of difference to the whole. There are lines you do not cross. Many people live decent lives. So long as they do not challenge the indecent. Not least the assistance of people like me enables some semblance of civilization to prevail in the country. In the cities people are buried alive! They think that tomb is poverty and lack of education. I say that tomb is there if you are me. I just get to stand upright. There is a granite slab above our heads and its name is infrastructure. You make people better and you send them home to damp rat-infested tenements. You shorten their working-hours but they can barely afford to eat, let alone engage in what the south called leisure-time activities. And the food is crap anyhow. I hold there is that which is not negotiable, over which there is no choice. What Fidubi landlord asserts his right to let property unfit for habitation? Everything must change, what and how people think, whether they respect all people. Entrenched power shifts only with revolution, preferably a revolution in thinking. “I move. I shake. I mingle in circles not wholly virtuous. The source of rot is the City. Personally I would think it erroneous to say Kadun is immune to international opinion. It has not been fully exposed to international opinion. Certainly nationalism is an issue and also a phoney nationalism, which demands conduct contrary to that of vermin be perceived as alien. There are those who hold Kadun will finally find her own way into the modern world. It didn’t work after Jaizal but it’ll work now because of mass communication, because of ease of travel. It will be organic, effected relatively painlessly. Indeed people will revolt. They will start of their own accord to do thngs differently, to be different. Because of modern telecoms, which in their way are marketing. Because of exposure to life elsewhere. I regard this as somewhat optimistic. There are powerful factions with alluring anti-democratic agendas. They have had some 1400 years in which to develop and adjust counter-arguments! They need to be under-cut. There needs to be a clearly defined alternative. There are still too many steel-workers in Tjulsit ready to believe anarchy will follow should they be paid a decent wage. The why needs to be clearly and simply delineated. CLIK’s campaigns are excellent, insofar as they make CLIK’s points, but CLIK’s agenda – I am really not averse to blaming capital where capital is clearly to blame, but I do not think that the whole story. You cannot blame an inanimate object for failures in individual human beings. The true enemy is power and power may manifest itself as capital but the two are not synonymous. If I appear to contradict myself, power is not inanimate, far from it. Power hurts those who challenge the system. Power terrorizes. Power moves behind the scenes to block any change.
“We say,” said Mel, “the only legitimate use of power is to keep power from those who most yearn for it, prevent them damaging the lives of others..”
“That,” said Mitch, “is not what we say, but it is surely to some extent what we do.”
“We call it the matrix. The ant-heap. The matrix says the rich guy called king in the palace on the hill is top of the ant-heap. Those with whom he comes into conflict might loathe him but they can’t actually do anything about him, meaning that they can use none of the tactics they use against little guys to stop him saying what needs to be said. It rests of course on belief in the ant-heap.”
Qine: Right, lads, a number of you have said nice things about democracy but I want to say that’s not enough and you prove it. It doesn’t matter a hoot to the likes of you how a country’s run. Big capitalists, rich. Company has a bad year, men laid off. I’m not disputing – I’d be a fool to dispute – you have a nice little democracy, there’s unemployment pay, there’s sickness, housing, nobody starves, nobody’s thrown on the street, and it’s all set at proper levels. What an unemployed working man gets a week in Zur, riches in Azt, keep a family for a month. But the directors aren’t touched, are they, the owners. And who decides, maybe things are looking up, maybe we can ‘afford’ to give folk their work back? I’ve run this by folk in the south and they say, maybe they’ve got better paid jobs elsewhere, maybe they’ve started their own businesses, and there’s a lot there, some I agree with, some not. Supposing the job a man’s lost is near his home and he has to travel more to get to another one. That’s a valid point, but then again he’s still at the mercy of the bosses, he can’t have things how he wants, and not everyone’s got the get up and go to start up on his own. I say a man has a right to a decent job with a fair day’s pay, without having to cross the country for it, and I hope no-one disputes there’s work enough to be done in Kadun, if only there were those who’d pay for it. Of course there’s no profit in public health..
So what I’m talking about here is democracy for the workers, putting things in their hands to do what needs to be done. I have to agree with the point Mitch made earlier – though maybe he learned it from me at that. Those of us who live in Kadun do have a habit of seeing things differently. I don’t think Zur needs its drainage seeing to! So where does that get us?
Taxation is one place. Those with money have paid the State to sort out the essentials. Not being one of them gilded few, I don’t think I can say how willingly they’ve done it, but be that as it may it’s been done. So, gentlemen, I’m just wondering how you defend your position. Our host, for instance. Sohenoil goes bust. Grandaddy has no problem. Banks in the City. All salted away. Money stolen from Kadun. I would say there are three points here. Some people having more money than other people. Some people having enormously more money than other people. How those people came by that money. I would not like to think I am narrow about these things. If some bloke starts with nowt and makes himself a pile, good luck to him, provided it’s not from sweated labour, and I know people’s made fortunes on the Grid.
Fit-for-use is the buzz-word. Electrical goods should not electrocute. Food should not poison. Roofs should not leak. Nor should wiring spontaneously ignite. Your home should not make you sick. There are non-negotiable standards which the rest of the continent takes for granted. What sane capitalist can have a problem with that? Should the poisoned, electrocuted, burned, flooded or ill survive, they will not recommend your product to their families and friends and enthusiastically return for more. Unless of course you have a monopoly.
Ah, the mysteries of branched splicing, switched neutrals and aluminium wiring. There are limits! cried Mitch. I do not have to qualify as an electrician. That is what we have experts for.
“We have learned – oh but we are thorough - that the vast majority of white goods are Ciletij imports, manufactured to Ciletij standards in Enbahaluk and that so far as anyone is able to ascertain – and we are so very thorough - there is no difference between them and those intended for the domestic market. Half a cheer therefore for our friends in Ciletij and one less problem!”
“You are going to rewire every table-lamp!”
“Have I not said,” said Zulagan, “we are engaged in educating people, further educating, I should say. People are not fools about their own safety and that of their loved ones Those who have been able to afford them have naturally purchased goods manufactured to international safety standards. Those folk, however, who have been essentially able to afford almost nothing have been prey to the unscrupulous capitalist and there has been a sort of dirty under-market in sub-standard goods. However, extremes of poverty and a multitude of electrical goods, such as the rest of the continent takes for granted, blenders, printers, heaters, do not mix. You talk in your own frame of reference to folk who have no table-lamps.”
It gets repetitive. Non-negotiable standards. Such as the rest of the continent takes for granted.
Shall we women of Ciletij deny to our sisters in Kadun the rights and freedoms we take for granted! Look, either they think Maya, Cantilip, Karula have designs on Ciletij or they think they’re ciphers!
Mel landed with a bump in G-T. A token demo against took place countered by a larger demo in favour.
Dabida backs this monstrous nonsense?
“Women’s rights, gay rights, people’s rights. What monstrous nonsense had you in mind?”
“You have let in a communalist government!”
“A symbiotic relationship,” said someone sounding proud of himself. “CLIK needs Sarat to maintain its unelected power.”
“The threat to your shares,” said Mel, “doesn’t come from CLIK.”
“From AMI! I hardly think – “
I’d noticed, thought Mel..
“Suppose we boycott Ciletij?.”
“The Quadrant – “
“Sohenoil is not the government of Fidub, nor AMI the government of Dabida. The Kadun market is or is about to be wide open. We don’t need you. You on the other hand need that market. That is Point One for those taking notes. Point Two is Kadun will export at an unprecedented level. We tin fruit. You noticed? A great deal of it is fruit bought from Carlin. Having bought the fruit from Carlin and tinned it, we sell it to half the world. Two A is there is no reason why some enterprising irturbi should not tin fruit. Two B is that, like so much else in this situation, the selling of fruit to us was a political decision. There is no reason why said enterprising irtubi should not be willing to pay more and now no reason why Carlin should not accept the higher price.”
“Get to the point.”
“Kadun will dominate. It has to. It has the potential. It has the leadership. It has the size. There is a mind-set insistent on seeing Kadun as victim. It is rather the rest of us expose ourselves to – unprecedented – competition.”
“The young lord and master is nonetheless funded by Sohenoil!”
“He is funded by Cho, which is not the same thing. Certain amount of absconding with the family silver together with a lifestyle from which conspicuous consumption is absent. Cho would be rolling without Sohenoil. Once in Azt, Sarat will retake possession of such family property as was left behind.”
“Real estate?”
“Who owns Azt will be much debated, ancient Azt at least.”
“Nonetheless, CLIK is now a power in Kadun. If CLIK is elected, backed by the people.”
“Does it seem to you entirely likely in the present context that the mass of people in Kadun will wish to demolish global capitalism, even if that were any longer CLIK’s agenda?”
“I confess I am frankly curious. Relations I assume are cordial!”
“Oh yes,” said Mel.
“The Dabidan model!”
“It works,” said Mel, “and CLIK are satisfied it works.”
“Ah, Dabida the paragon! There are no oppressed in Zur?”
“Not if I have anything to do with it,” said Mel. “It is human nature that from time to time people mess other people around. It is not human nature that it be countenanced.”
“600 years to perfect the act. I do not think your friend has such leeway.”
“We reckon we have six months,” said Mel, “from the time we take Azt.”
“Then it is doomed!”
“Six months,” repeated Mel, “to turn Kadun round, to make a visible difference to people’s lives.”
“Absolute power unimpeded by the democratic process.”
“Absolute power,” said Mel, “enforcing the democratic process.”
Then there is attack.
“There are no slums in Ciletij?” asked Sarat. “Unlike us, they do not think to do anything about them.”
“Domestic violence in Ciletij,” said Maya, “would appear to be a non-issue.”
Ciletij duly reacted like a disturbed hornets’ nest, meaning they buzzed furiously striking out at anything that moved, including the government of Ciletij.
It may be time, observed the leader in The Times somewhat caustically, that Ciletij look at who these young people actually are, which is to say Tar’s niece and the grandson of one of Fidub’s most radical politicians. Cho has raised hell for thirty years. It is hardly surprising Sarat is in the same mould though of course the scale of the mayhem far surpasses anything previously conceivable.
Only there is the future. To which a lot of people responded acidly, thought the problem was the past.
Nor can Ciletij make up its mind if the problem is Sohenoil or the problem is CLIK.
...
“You have entered a Cult-free Zone. And the very considerable resources of our three great nations were used to ensure it stayed that way. Meaning Kadun was a contaminant.”
“The border’s open now, sir.”
“Well done, that man. Meaning we have a vested interest in decontamination.”
“You cannot say Vasucula sat on the fence!”
“I surely can. I surely do. We tighten up any on the money-men?”
“We are a capitalist economy. There are no lengths to which we shall not go to foster global investment, maximum prosperity for all and the brutal murder of a beautiful young woman.”
“That’s what I just said. Get the bastards.”
....
“The Economic Liaison Officer told me to forget any crap I’d heard about her pivotal role – “
“Maybe not pivotal. Certainly crucial!”
Reakoed grinned.
“Maybe she can’t see just how important winding them up is.
“Kai is no financial nitwit,” said Hass. “She knows enough to carry off the job. But she’s not a financial genius, either, by which I mean she sees that figures can be made to dance, somersault, mysteriously turn up on the side of the world, but she doesn’t see how it’s done. Look, no hands! She is not, therefore, in this respect the best Sarat can come up with. That alone infuriates them! The best he can come up with are of course those to whom she rabbits when she gets back to Kadun.”
“Probably think it’s positive discrimination,” I muttered.
Reakoed laughed.
“That suits her just fine.”
“She waits for them to make a mistake?”
“Another mistake,” said Hass. “They made a mistake when they killed Maya. They of course know exactly who Kai is, everything they loathe and despise. They are forced to listen to her. She enjoys it enormously. Meanwhile Sohenoil amuses itself sabre-rattling. Sarat has a lot of time for Bal. He really doesn’t want to bring him down in flames, not to mention the human cost in unemployment, bankruptcy. They are not fools enough to think Sohenoil impotent but of course in their terms care for the human cost is a sign of weakness. Should they think Sohenoil too weak, Sohenoil has swallowed up – causing a certain amount of amusement in certain quarters – Livewire, Harn’s largest manufacturer of digital electrics, including of course the phone subsidiary, and Vivalia Publishing, whose titles include Glitz. People have taken to calling Sohenoil the Python, some flatteringly, others not. The Python Effect also stabilizes Bal to some extent. The message is succinct. We do not buy from Harn unless we happen to own the Harn company in question. By owning the Harn company in question, and thus enabling it to continue to sell to Kadun, we avoid down-sizing, lay-offs.
“I thought we were against monopolies!”
“Laters, laters. That is the war. In part, that is the war.”
“So – it’s a reversal – instead of the City owing half Kadun, Kadun owns half the City!”
“That’s the general idea, yes.”
“They tell her things? No, of course, light dawns, they expect her to tell them things!”
“I gather they can barely bear to talk to her at all. She’s all Sarat is prepared to give them, and I mean all – the commercial side of the Rep Centre has been shut down. Kai babbles – her word, like a little dancing brook. They hope she will let slip something she shouldn’t.”
“My brain has had better days but how does that – close the net?”
“Directly, not at all. Not all bankers in the City are pro-Cult. All bankers in the City find it prudent to pretend to be pro-Cult. She comes direct from Sarat. They know they can trust her. No-one is going to say anything of the slightest interest in a meeting where the Cult are present. She picks stuff up anyway.”
“Such as sorrowful murmurs that we are regrettably willing to deliver ourselves into the hands of Sohenoil!”
“The point, then,” said Maitlan, “is she is not a banker. She therefore does not have her own agenda.”
“Well spotted, that man!” said Reakoed.
Maitlan inclined his head.
“Speaking as a financial nitwit,” I said, “I think even I can see none of this stops financiers talking to each other all day every day.- there may be some in Kadun just as desperate to know exactly where Sarat’s going - ?”
“Sarat says nothing. Cho says nothing. Both occasionally yawn and swallow. Kadun has gone where Sarat wanted. People have money in their pockets and equally production has soared. The City is being ruthlessly excised from the equation and everyone with half an ear to the ground knows it.”

CLIK went to town on it.

“Let me be frank,” said Zulagan. “The figures are on our Grid-site, we have nothing to hide. Who backed us? Choit-ban-varna. He did not have to back us.
