HVORDAN VI SLIPPER AF MED DE ANDRE (Com desfer-se dels altres)

Copenhague, any 2007. La majoria de partits del parlament danès acaben d'aprobar una nova llei, els anomenats criteris de la Nova Copenhaguen segons la qual les persones antisocials, aquelles que s'aprofiten de forma indecent de l'estat de l'estat providència han de ser eliminades.

Sortida de la fàbrica artística de Lars Von Trier (Zentropa) Com desfer-se dels altres teoritza sobre una hipotètica deriva feixistoide (de fet va molt més enllà) de la societat democràtica danesa i per analogia de l'europea.

Dins del repartiment de cops a tort i a dret (església, exèrcit, per altra banda ja clàssics) la innovació és l'atac a una socialdemocràcia que, a la recerca de la perfecció de l'estat del benestar, està disposada a eliminar a aquells elements parasitaris (punkis, alcohòlics, artistes fracassats) que impedeixen el compliment de la societat ideal.

Assaig polític molt i molt recomanable
