The first people totalitarians destroy or silence are men of ideas and free minds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy - the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes.
Only the freedom of mind can prevent the state from becoming totalitarian and from issuing totalitarian demands.
Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.
The strongest argument against totalitarianism may be a recognition of a universal human nature; that all humans have innate desires for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The doctrine of the blank slate... is a totalitarian's dream.
It will be a war of national liberation. We believe the people reject totalitarianism.
Islam, or any religion, will become totalitarian if it is made into an ideology, because that is the nature of ideologies.
The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.
Liberalism will beat totalitarianism by killing it softly, not by mimicking it.
The ultimate end of any ideology is totalitarianism.
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.
