The USA especially has roughly the same proportion of its people imprisoned as totalitarian regimes, but those people are so dehumanized socially that they are impossible to imagine as even a part of this discussion.
I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a woman in NYC who migrated from some former USSR country and worked as a domestic servant -- she called working for such low wage in such conditions "communism."
- trasz 5y agoUSA has a number of things in common with most totalitarian regimes, from forced labour camps, to the creepy “pledge of allegiance to the state” which all the school kids are forced to recite every day. It’s quite creepy from the European point of view.
