The Way to Socialism

If you have transformed the taxing agency of the stated into a political weapon; ... if you are setting up a massive government program to gather the financial and health information of every citizen, and control their access to care; and if you have a spy agency that can read the mail and listen to the communications of every individual in the country, you don’t really need a secret police to destroy your political opponents.  Once you have silenced them, you can proceed with your plans to remake the world in your image.
