First, it tells of a man whose understanding of human nature is so deep, when applied by a kin has resulted in democracy as it is today. He who believed that the mass mind is driven by unconscious irrational instinctive forces.
Democracy is but an illusion of freedom as we need to believe we are free. But yet chained, by our own subconscious minds. In reality, imprisoned by our own desires created by those who sold the idea of democracy. The subconscious desire to belong.
Then another man broke the people free of this conformist society and encouraged the expression of self. But this new individualistic society somehow became imprisoned again... this time, by the desire to be different!
As man evolve, so does the mechanism to commercialize the evolution. And this was necessary to maintain this illusion of freedom. By stimulating people's inner desires or fears and then satiating them with consumer products, a new way to manage the irrational force of the masses is born. To enable the maintenance of democracy - to enable the maintenance of the relations of power that govern the world - by stimulating the irrational self so leadership can go on doing what it wants to do.
Thus the continual imprisonment by man's own desire.
Man must be discontent to survive. That is the only way to keep man within limits.
