I am against totalitarianism on the left and on the right

 
 
Christopher Hitchens

"I have one consistency, which is being against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy; the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes." pic.twitter.com/i20VU8TyiF
