The United States of America if not a democracy it is a republic if you don't know learn the difference.

It curious and not a little baffling why Adam Curtis felt the need to distort Isaiah Berlin's idea of Negative Liberty since the central thrust of the documentary could have stood without this distortion. In "Two Concepts of Liberty," Berlin defines and highlights the pros and cons of each without exalting or preferring one over the other. He only warns that both can be misused in the name of, or in an ostensible quest for, liberty for all. I urge viewers to read the essay for themselves.

I CANT WAIT FOR 'THE NEW WORLD ORDER'.. IT WILL MAKE COMMUNISM LOOK SOFT, AND YOU WILL DESERVE IT YOU PATHETIC, PARASITIC SHEEP-PEOPLE.

Really disappointed that Curtis seeemed to gloss over and distort the meaning of negative and positive liberty. I used to learn things from his documentaries, now they just seem to be political rants (and I can see the socialist direction he's going in)

"There is no way of overthrowing modern society except by violence." Hasn't Sartre read Tolstoy, Gandhi and MLK?

@billyysands I think that's an exaggeration. Rather that the average person can make fair, informed decisions about society.
The answer is there is no answer
