When you allow a definition of totalitarianism to include the voluntary choices of individuals, that's a first step on a really dark path. Dictators always argued that if people are free, they will make worse choices than what an omnipotent stat would make on their behalf.
- For "totalitarian" is not only a terroristic political coordination of society, but also a non-terroristic economic-technical coordination which operates through the manipulation of needs by vested interests. Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man
