I don't think Decimus Junius Juvenalis would have looked at Wicked, which is an anti-authoritarian hero story as his definition of "bread and circuses".
Yes, a story by the ruling class for the workers to rally behind and continue to do nothing about their steadily worsening plight.
That's what I said, yes.
