Do we really need so straightforward a propaganda against any kind of idealism? Do we need to be persuaded with such tools to be happy with our cynical consumerism? Do we really need to be convinced once and again that our socially and ecologically irresponsible behaviour and apathy are innocuous and SO MUCH BETTER than any organized effort to make things better. How is this kind of propaganda different from the 'totalitarian' one? Stalin, an idealist who wanted human happines? 'Robespierre, the first man in history who believed that the road to virtue did not lead throught the persuation, but through the terror' How can any historian appear in a docudrama that says THAT NONSENSE???? Oh yeah, have no one ever hear of the religious conflicts in Early Modern Europe? Ok, if you accept torture as persuasion, then what they say might be true :-)
