The things that some people are calling totalitarian here are things that, are well-intentioned whether one agrees with the methods of not. Actually, our most coercive activity - taking place in Afghanistan and Pakistan, is the type of thing that those crying socialism support. Many of those same people, however, don't worry about loss of freedom in the bedroom or in the "smoking parlor" when they want to outlaw private conduct.
