Double-Edged Advocacy

Advocates and Badvocates duke it out. A Latvian movie called “The Soviet Story” is being launched that compares communism to fascism. According to the Economist (08.04.2008), pro-Russians are using cyberspace to raise funds to create a counter documentary on the strengths of Soviet communism. If individuals don’t have the funds to spare, they can pitch in by offering to help translate the documentary into other languages. Good example of Advocacy and Badvocacy at play (or at war). Reminds me of the anti-Wal-Mart movie (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price) and Wal-Mart’s celluloid response (Why Wal-Mart Works and Why That Makes Some People Crazy). I have to be honest – I love both Wal-Mart film titles!
