After a long hard day at work the last thing you feel like watching on TV is a heavy documentary. Its mentally wearing as well as physically wearing. A big feed, a few beers and something escapist is more attractive.

The socialist project inevitably implies an increase in responsibility and if we aren't even willing to shoulder the little civic responsibility of political democracy, then its a waste of time talking about socialism.
