Jan Marijnissen van de SP 37


Jan Marijnissen, tenslotte nog dit. Aan het slot van de ongeveer 4 uur durende documentaire Century of Self verklaart de Amerikaanse voormalige minister van Werkgelegenheid Robert Reich:
'Fundamentally , here we have two different views of human nature and of democracy. You have the view that people are irrational, that they are bundles of unconscious emotions. That comes directly out of Freud, and businesses are very able to respond to that, that is what they have honed their skills doing, that is what marketing is really all about. What are the symbols, the music, the images, the words that will appeal to these unconscious feelings. Politics must be more than that. Politics and leadership are about engaging the public in a rational discussion and deliberation about what is best, and treating people with respect in terms of their rational abilities to debate what is best. If it is not that, if it is Freudian, if it is basically a matter of appealing to the same unconscious feelings that business appeals to, than why not let business do it? Business can do it better. Business knows how to do it. Business after all, is in the business of responding to those fellings.'
Jan Marijnisssen, kijk nu nog eens naar die SP marketingfilmpjes waarin jij de hoofdrol speelt en kom ons hier vertellen welke boodschap jouw partij probeert over te brengen. Met andere woorden: maak er niet een nog grotere chaos van dan het al is.
