Exactly! Modern liberal capitalistic totalitarianism is more dangerous than other kinds of totalitarianisms precisely because it is so "soft" and subtle. People tend to buy into the lie that they are free, but they actually aren't. The best slave (from the standpoint of his master) is the one who believes that he is "free."
