Do I even dare to ask, if this documentary included the painter/politician David?
On the subject of idealism leads to violence. Do this people study much of 18th Century history outside of French Revolution? It was, everywhere, very violent. I just red a book about the history of my country (Finland) during a Russian Empire's occupation called "Greater Wrath" (1714-21)that nicely documented torture, famine and mass killings - even an attempt to genocide. And, totally, without any idealism or higher goal.
