Thanks for the link. I've bookmarked it & will get round to watching it sometime.

Of course Goebbels was a fascist in the sense that the movement he was part of believed that big business & government should work hand in hand, but he was also a socialist, a national one rather than international, & his white supremacy was reserved for a small subset of all those with white skin.

I think these nuances are important.

What I was really thinking of when I brought his name up, was that he applied the techniques of PR & advertising as developed by Sigmund Freud's nephew Edward Bernays, to politics. This is a method which was never repudiated after the fall of nazism, & indeed goes from strength to ghastly strength on all 'sides' in what is probably a futile attempt to halt the process of civilisational decline.

Just to cheer you up.
