Joseph Göebbels™ since 1897 is a specific advertising campaign pointing out to the possible essence of contemporary mass communication (industry of fun, advertising, mass media, education…). By the canals of mass communication one distributes ideas, narrations or ideology, but not the truth. The concept of truth has become devaluated, so that the truth actually does not exist. It is not true what is the truth, it is important in what you believe and there lies the power of media. Joseph Göebbels™ since 1897 uses exactly the means of mass communication to point out to the above mentioned assumption, and Joseph Göebbels as Ex-Nazi Minister of Propaganda is a paradigmatic figure who has actually determined the essence of the contemporary mass communication (A thousandth times repeated lie becomes truth). And it is very actual within the current constellation of reviewing Nazism and Big-rightist global wave.
