In a quick follow up to my recent post, here is an amazing speech by Bill Moyers recently given at Boston University. He dissects the current state of our nation. Mr. Moyers has been a great defender of democracy in his long and illustrious career as a journalist. He speaks about plutocracy, but I think when you look at it he is really getting into what Sheldon Wolin calls inverted totalitarianism. You can watch video of the speech here or read the text of it here.
As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
