何为民主？

发人深省... 在希腊雅典，创造出的**雏形，真正由人民来统治的。demos（人民）和kratos（统治）。把城市划分区块，然后把居民随机安排到某个区，然后每个区随机抽一人来做代表。而城市的确是由随机抽到的平民来掌控管理，以确保**能够代表大家共同的利益。创意很不错。而**制度是不是一个合理的制度，仍然需要**尝试。Cornel West说得很有理，大多数的人民只是想被**，而并不想向**的方向去努力。

作为纪录片拍的真烂。一堆采访不等于纪录片好吗？

**可能是被人下最多定义同时也最被人误解的一个概念，在这种情况下，如果我们想要弄清它的含义，需要不断地回到它最开始的定义：rule of the people。这不是一部****的纪录片，关于**，它抛出了许多问题，就从这里继续往下去思考吧。

“count me in the crowd of holy fools” - holy hypocrites

Extraordinary. The whole film is shot heavily through the framework of Wendy Brown's brilliant 2016 polemic Undoing the Demos, where she argues how neoliberalism eats away demos from within. The film rightly begins and ends with Greece and uses it prominently as a **** case for how the ideals of democracy match up with its contemporary reality. Taylor is strong in exploring structures of power in the form of racial&economic domination. One conspicuous weakness is migration debate and how this issue plays into global v. local debate. Brown's "constitutive we" appears weak in her telling but Taylor barely scratches surface. Is this a ****** case of free movement of capital but not of ppl?

需要二刷。等源。一刷两点：1）democracy in the hands of a mass who is in ***** lacking of democratic cultivation and inclination is only going to degenerate into the tyranny of the majority; 2) the unreconcilable conflict between bounded democracy with the boundless capital and its whim

這個問題問出來沒人可以給** 所以裡面受訪人都說的是某種現象 但是有幾個人成功混淆了我心中對**和資本主義關係的看法 然後我想到小時候做題一旦做不出來的時候 就用排除法 反正體制也就是全民範圍裡大規模地找**吧 // 2020.2.15 - 我今天發現導演partner是jeff mangum 驚呆！

十年之后 Astra Taylor还是不知道自己想说什么； 虽然她的采访对象一如既往都说得相当好

brattle 導演顯然是個youtuber！

The historical discussions were **** interesting than the snippets from contemporary political life. Sample bias (let alone staged acting) is always a suspicion. Even the theoretical discussion was not meant to be complete. Rousseau's "positive *******" was praised, but its implications, as those eloquently argued by Hayek and Isaiah Berlin, were not adequately discussed in the movie.
