The author has/had no idea what totalitarianism is. The book is just run-of-the-mill, ordinary garden variety conservative/paranoid rubbish about liberalism and the European version, social democracy. By the way, Sweden was never totalitarian and remains a capitalist democracy. Swedes have freedom of speech, press, and religion. Private property and the rule of law. For totalitarianism, see Germany under Hitler, North Korea under Trump-friend Kim Jong Un, the Soviet Union and the direction Trump-friend Putin is taking Russia now, and China, which under Xi Xing Peng is getting more and more totalitarian by the month. "Sweden is totalitarian" is what some people call an "alternative fact." Dishonest.
