Il n'est pas un supplément au monde réel, sa décoration surajoutée. Il est le cœur de l'irréalisme de la société réelle. Sous toutes ses formes particulières, information ou propagande, publicité ou consommation **directe** de divertissements, le spectacle constitue le modèle présent de la vie socialement dominante. Il est l'affirmation omniprésente du choix déjà fait dans la production, et sa consommation corollaire. Forme et contenu du spectacle sont identiquement la justification totale des conditions et des fins du système existant. Le spectacle est aussi la présence permanente de cette justification, en tant qu'occupation de la part principale du temps vécu hors de la production moderne. Understood in its totality, the spectacle is both the result and the goal of the dominant mode of production. It is not a mere decoration added to the real world. It is the very heart of this real society's unreality. In all of its particular manifestations — news, propaganda, advertising, entertainment — the spectacle represents the dominant model of life. It is the omnipresent affirmation of the choices that have already been made in the sphere of production and in the consumption implied by that production. In both form and content the spectacle serves as a total justification of the conditions and goals of the existing system. The spectacle also represents the constant presence of this justification since it monopolizes the majority of the time spent outside the production process.
