This post is a placeholder in which to post my first video commentary on Havel's "The Power of the Powerless".
One errata: I said he was critiquing the Russian government. This isn't entirely correct. He's critiquing the Russian soviet, the Czechoslovakian government, and all other governments he labels as "post-totalitarian". We'll get into that, as the commentaries continue.
