I think both of these points hold, in their own way, in the Western world. As Guy Debord writes in The Society of the Spectacle:

> [The Spectacle] defines the program of the ruling class and presides over its formation, just as it presents pseudo-goods to be coveted, it offers false models of revolution to local revolutionaries.

Or as Zizek once said (in paraphrase): It's not Jihad vs. McWorld, it's McJihad vs. McWorld.

Do you think that the West exported this spectacle-based theory of change?
