Definition of Totalitarian Government
Sounds like the government we have today. This is from Merriam-Webster, the dictionary I trust most.
"Controlling the people of a country in a very strict way with complete power that cannot be opposed"
The problem is it's done here in America without most realizing what is actually going on.

Also, this is the definition of "free enterprise". Have to say, I do not agree if that is actually what it means!
"freedom of private business to organize and operate for profit in a competitive system without interference by government beyond regulation necessary to protect public interest and keep the national economy in balance".
We need regulation, which has been taken away by special interest groups in the White House.
This is not protection for most Americans. . .it's protection for the corporate interest groups!

I don't think we're under regulated. The problem is that the owners of the government make sure the regulations favor them, and disfavor competitors or start ups.

I have to say one thing about your posts: You have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to contribute with any intellectual value. Go to bed and jack off. I do not believe you are getting laid on a regular basis!

Well, we have a country that is so divided it is increasingly unable to be organized in a cooperative, good faith system but more a bureaucratized, controlling system. So you get what we've got.
We need to learn from the Japanese, who feel it is very important that almost everyone is heard and buys into the system. Not quite like the Liberum Veto, but at least a common empathy for sincerely held dissension from honest men and women of goodwill.

I find the recent appearance of certain new members to be highly suspicious.
If I was wrong about my suspicions and offended you, I apologize. However, your threads have been one track and based solely on your biased opinion.
However, I believe that I've read your attitude before,
How's the weather in "Guess" this time of year?

I am all for communism, dictatorships of the proletariat, socialism, or any other form of Collective Government, ........as long as I can be "first among equals" and be in charge.
I will be living high on the hog, enjoying my "Dacha on The Volga", and all of the current liberal/progressive/socialist will be digging potatoes in The Gulag.......For me.

Fuck all of these intellectual definitions.
A true Totalitarian Government is one that, as an end result in dealing with any complaints, will simply put you against the wall.
To say the USA has a Totalitarian Government is just Fukin' stupid.

Exactly. So many people in this country have such a distorted view of Capitalism. While they complain that big business calls all the shots they dismiss the fact that is still better than if they were firing the shots.

What do you call the Patriot Act and indefinite detention without due process? Those are certainly steps to the wall you speak of.

Your quote says a lot about you and how you only care about you and your own self interests. Better watch more "Eisenhower" videos. He warned about the military industrial complex. From your own posts, I doubt you ever graduated from high school.
Either you do not have a college degree or you never tried to get one. . .lol!
