You may want to give some thought to adding a couple of authors whose writings on the subject of 'a state culture' have been prophetic. Such as: Aldous Huxley - 'Brave New World'
(1932)and George Orwell - 'Nineteen Eighty Four' (1949) and 'Animal Farm' (1946).
Both authors understood that neither science nor politics was enough. Both knew that the "debasement of man begins with the debasement of his principal means of communication, with the manipulation of language." (Ashley Montagu).
"Doublespeak", "doubletalk", and "doublethink" have already come to us under an all too familiar a guise. And Huxley's predictions of "soma" or tranquilizers (anti-depressants) used to control the masses, is today a mulitmillion dollar industry. And we all know that Orwell's 'Big Brother' has made great progress in the world by way of bugging, wire-tapping, data banks, security checks, FBI files, surveillance systems, and so on.
Their novels were designed to warn us of the way the world of humanity might go, unless we took the steps necessary to prevent it. So really, this 'anti-state culture' as you call it, has been around for a while....
