Do you think it is the hallmark of a totalitarian society to have concepts like anti-Americanism?

Question

Books on anti-Americanism, by people who are basically Stalinist clones, are highly respected.

That's true of Anglo-American societies, which are strikingly the more democratic societies. I think there's a correlation there...As freedom grows, the need to coerce and control opinion also grows if you want to prevent the great beast from doing something with its freedom....

Answer 1

wow.. dude, just read your response to the young lady's question about what a Neocon was.. very well put as is this question. And yes I do think it is the calling card of fascism to thwart true freedom and replace it with wanton consumerism, capitalism and ultimately ...despotism. But hey what's new about any of this ? It's the same fight that Homer is fighting in the Odyssey, good against evil, yin and yang. .. we may be entering a new era of peace on the other side of this situation. I think our basic need to "fight" is the problem. I would like to consider myself pretty forward thinking and I still have a tendency to over react and become frustrated with what I see going on around me.. perhaps that's our next step of evolution.. maybe we'll stop fighting and begin living, peacefully ?
Very good again my man.. really !

Answer 2

No. An example of anti-Americanism would be something that is unconstitutional. Despite what they'd have you believe, both the left and right support the constitution. They are both Americanists in this sense....opposite parties co-existing...not totalitarianism.

Answer 3

Just ask a Democrat they know all about wanting too establish a totalitarian society and are full of anti-American concepts.

Answer 4

Is it the hallmark of a totalitarian society to have concepts like anti-Islam, anti-Muslim...forcing their concept of "democracy" at the point of a gun?
