I knew that didn't sound right when I translated it. <BR/><BR/>Alas, I've been sick the last two days, so I haven't been able to comment too much, although I have a lot to say about the issue of elites, and the rhetoric of "elites".Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-42623287937948837682008-10-01T03:50:00.000+02:002008-10-01T03:50:00.000+02:00It looks as though the title of Frazer's book has ...It looks as though the title of Frazer's book has been translated back and forth.

I sometimes think this irrational prejudice outweighs any 'long-term' orientation in constituting liberal consciousness.

Not even shamans believe, as a modern consumer is supposed to believe at least, in their powers. <BR/> <BR/>So magical propaganda, is it neither tricking us or being seen through?modulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690867497002838117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-83069744911474740312008-09-30T19:52:00.000+02:002008-09-30T19:52:00.000+02:00Well, it so happened that I have lived under three...Well, it so happened that I have lived under three different socio-economic systems: authoritarian soc1alism, quasi-authoritarian capitalism, and now what appears to be some sort of democratic communitarianism. It's my first life that trained me not to trust anything printed in the newspapers, since I was about 10 years old and started reading Pioneer's Pravda. <BR/><BR/>This doesn't make me superior to anyone, nor do I have any circles, nor do I necessarily consider myself a liberal.<BR/><BR/>Propaganda does work, and the omnipresence of it explains a lot of things, though clearly not everything, far from it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
