When I hear the term 'Totalitarian Democracy,' I think of the Terror durring the French revolution, where everyone spied on everyone (even members of the government) and anyone who strayed too far from the norm was executed as a traitor. Privacy, even for the government, is an essential component of freedom. Personally, I oppose wiretapping and a government spying on it's citizens. I am also quite critical of Assange and his politics.
