Yes, this is one fearless man, and a man who has taken the time to think before acting. Read Eros & Civilization, and One-Dimensional Man, and you will not be the same person.

"The tolerance which is the life element, the token of a free society, will never be the gift of the Powers That Be; it can, under the prevailing conditions of tyranny by the majority, only be won in the sustained effort of radical minorities, willing to break this tyranny and to work for the emergence of a free and sovereign majority - minorities intolerant, militantly intolerant and disobedient to the rules of behavior which tolerate destruction and suppression." - Herbert Marcuse

Look at the faces of the audience! Seems like no body understand nothing. Seems like this kind of jung people hope some other kind of speech, something more "revolutionary" something for make the feeling of being part of the revolution... Most of this jung people with flowers simply is not at the level of more deeply and serious thinking. (sorry about my bad english, but once more: just look the people´s faces) Bye.
