C.S. Lewis on the Specter of Totalitarianism
The great Christian apologist's "scientocracy" is upon us. What should be our response?

"One definition of totalitarianism is a system of government in which the state aspires to control all aspects of life such that the personal/public divide is obliterated"

I think of it in much simpler terms. The authoritarian [Franco in Spain] wants you to eat the dog food.

The totalitarian [communism] wants you to eat the dog food and then SAY how much you like it. Maybe even convince yourself you do like it.

Lewis--or any adult in his 50s at that time--would not believe how the country has disintegrated(in many areas).Maybe not the small towns--which are White--but the rest of our cities. Lewis,I can only imagine,would be amazed and shocked--as I am.
