Do you want a government telling you that you HAVE to be in a certain career all your life, regardless if you enjoy it or you're good at it? That's what Communist governments do. They say "you have to be a brick layer" and that's what you are. If that isn't authoritation, I don't know what is. I want a choice in what I do for a living. I want to be able to change jobs if I have a crappy boss, or careers if I decide to do something else for a living.
Do you want a government telling you that you MUST give ALL of your money to everyone else? In Communism, you don't get to pick a charity. You HAVE to get your wealth redistributed. If that isn't authoritation, I don't know what is. I don't want to be working at Walmart at age 80. I want to actually retire someday. The government redistributing everything I own, would make that not possible. And I don't want to be working at age 80. But if I have to work at age 80, I want a choice in what I can do to make money.
Communists also kill people who disagree with them. They also kill people based on a lot of other criteria that has nothing to do with whether a person ever actually committed a crime. Do you really want that? My guess is no.
In the U.S., I could actually see Atheists as one group of people being targeted by the government to be killed, if a totalitarian state actually took over. Non-believers are unpopular here. I don't want a totalitarian government. I want a free society.
