What happend to our dream of freedom?

"The Trap, what happened to our dreams of freedoms" is a great documentary by the famous Adam Curtis.

At the heart of the question there is the question of the two concepts of liberty which were defined by Isiah Berlin: Positive and Negative Liberty. While negative liberty does mean that you need to restrain power of politicans so that the individual live their lives, positive freedom wants to give the people a common sense which is worth living for - but ultimaltely can turn to the cruelst dictatorships ever.

Curtis shows in his film how positive liberty was abused a thousand times in the recent history and is responsible for millions of death. On the contrary he also shows that negative liberty also can turn into positive liberty and thus also can be distructive. As the recent neocon-governments in the US and the labour party in Britain has shown. This film is absolulety worth watching.

Additional Comments
-----------------------------------------
I think as I stated before, that it's a great film, but in the end Curtis doesn't understand the idea of negative liberty fully. The idea of negative liberty is that you can have your own dreams and wishes and go after your own (or your families) or whatever sense of life. And that you don't need a national sense of life - or something similar.
In addition Curtis argument, that "Shock therapy" hasn't worked out in Russia means that economic theory is falsified - is scientifically spoken - plain wrong.
