Sverige är ett totalitärt land. Nedanstående skrevs 1938 om hur människor i totalitära länder fungerar:
"How completely the imposition of a comprehensive authoritarian creed stifles all spirit of independent inquiry; how it destroys the sense for any other meaning of truth than that of conformity with the official doctrine; how differences of opinion in every branch of knowledge become political issues — these must be seen in one of the totalitarian countries to be appreciated."
Denna "[stifling of] all spirit of independent inquiry"; "[the destruction] of the sense for any other meaning of truth than that of conformity with the official doctrine" och "how differences of opinion in every branch of knowledge become political issues" är lätt att varsebli i Sverige.
