The merger of environmental fascism with national socialist health control occurring in front of us now will lead to a new type of totalitarianism - no name yet - so I'll just call it "21st Century Totalitarianism" for now.
Monday's horrible US Supreme Court decision laid the basis for the complete control of human activity under the guise of "climate change" as now even water vapor and every element or compound used in any way by humans can be regulated by the EPA. The EU did this a while ago. The bureaucracy can creepily start growing its regulatory tentacles on this front.
The movements toward national health programs or their fascist corporate equivalents are also leading to control of human choice in order to "save money" or "for the children" or "for your own good". "Reason" magazine in this month's issue (May 2007) has a fine article titled, "An Epidemic of Meddling - the totalitarian implications of public health". The simple logic is that since "they" are paying for your care, "they" have the right to tell you how to live. Corporations do this now. Some governments do, too. We hear proposals for this in the US. If this was Jerry Falwell telling us how to live, most people would rebel. When it's some bespectacled doctor with an M. D. , many people bend over.
As these movements merge and intertwine in the governmental bureaucracy, they will be able to control every aspect of human life. Nothing in either ideology provides for any respect for the choice of the individual person. You are treated as a statistic, a number, just a member of the group with no individual rights. Pure totalitarianism. I fear it's coming. The "Bunker" is looking good.

Agree, mern. But I don't think it's irreversible.
Bud, when you have to get a permit to grill some shrimp on the "barbie", you get the picture. ;-)
Hmmm, I think outdoor barbeques are already banned in LA.
