Some comments which I'm led to because of dissatisfaction at describing the BBC as 'state propaganda'.
It's easy to see why the BBC never, ever, allow debate on such issues as the 'Holocaust', war crimes in Vietnam, Jewish paper money, nuclear power and weaponry, third world immigration, EU corruption, tribal cults such as Judaism and Islam, and the situation where the entire intelligence system is under the thumb of someone who connived in phoney evidence leading to war. Because, respectively, cliques of Jews rant at them, the US military insists on lies, money Jews have power, physicists and the company monopolies insist, official EU policy is to force immigration and they won't tolerate debate, and so on. Things of that sort are, no doubt, of great importance, and I selected them because of that. However, the BBC equally will never, ever, allow debate on such issues as Shakespeare authorship, the case for Wallace having priority over Darwin in discovering evolution, whether the 'look say' method was a disaster, and innumerable other issues which seem small beer; why insist on censorshop of trivia?
The BBC clearly must have some sort of systematic list of interest groups, which automatically get priority. (Or possibly the administrators simply don't understand the issues and always take the line of least resistance). The BBC in effect broadcasts only the subset of official information accepted by all its interest groups. A bit like the common, central part of a Venn diagram, where all the circles intersect.
In this way, the BBC's output does not correspond with the state's interest - small internal groups, and also parts of large external groups, get far disproportionate air-time - Jews and immigrants illustrate the sort of thing.
One has to wonder whether the 'state' now, in effect, includes other subsets, and is not the way it used to be pictured.
I take it that empires in antiquity were something like states, with a system of control headed (pun more or less intended) by a fairly small number of, probably, men. And that a 'realm', 'royaume' etc was the same sort of thing, with an identifiable monarch. The word 'state' presumably comes from German - Stadt, meaning a town or perhaps principality, a relatively small thing; 'United States' being, as with united France, then Germany and Italy, similarly something identifiably unitary. In the past, legal systems, religious systems, trading systems etc have often not coincided geographically. There was and is a movement to make states coterminous with nations, though of course there are problems with definitions. Also of course many territories are large, too large for any spontaneous formation of a 'state', for example in Africa and Asia. The only exception seems to be China, which is more or less a single huge state in more or less defined country. And there is now a movement for internationalism, though so far this has been mainly a Jewish movement, and certainly has no benevolent intent. But this is partly fuelled by the fact that, with increasing science, it's obvious some products or skills have to come from other 'states'.
Is this just shuffling words? Is a 'totalitarian state' simply a euphemism for an area controlled from outside? Is there some minimum proportion of people needed to keep forcible control? -- Is there some analysis which clarifies these issues?
