Matthias Deutschmann - Propaganda à la carte

Political scientists have been publishing book after book for years: our democracy is in trouble. It's weakening, showing signs of decay, or simply coming to an end. No democracy lasts forever. Is democracy facing the same fate as cabaret? Is it an obsolete model, or are we already living in a post-democracy?

Pessimism is abundant. Our president at Bellevue Palace has no answers either, but is willing to help illuminate dark dystopias: "We find the path to the future only in light." The audience sits in darkness. The stage shines brightly. The show can begin.

Incidentally: pessimism too stems from a lack of information. Everything will be fine!
