Dream

Drawing on lessons learned from Machiavelli, Critical Mass, Paris Hilton, and the Nazi party, Duncombe urges the progressives to learn how to create a spectacle (ethical spectacle) that engages everyone in politics and hastens change. He refers to the one spectacle the left got correct in the last election-- the Billionaires for Bush who mockingly supported the Republican candidate but passed around leaflets on how to buy a candidate. (13,000% ROI on an initial investment of $1M after defense contracts went their way)

He suggests we learn from Las Vegas embracing its fakery, the appeal of Grand Theft Auto (personal seeking & empowerment), applying advertising genius to politics (make people desire the change), turn everyone into a celebrity by making everyone have a voice in the protest/movement.

Skimmable, and seems more like an extended university paper. But good intent.
