"The ideology may start out as altogether wholesome and moral, at least on the surface, but over time and with continued influence and warping by pathological leadership, the ideology departs from those beginnings toward a utility for evil."

Well said. This is exactly what we have seen happen over the past 50 years or so. Think of the beliefs and values of the average person who identified as being a 'liberal' in the 1960's and compare them to those of the average person who currently identifies as 'liberal.' Way different.

As bad as things seem in the current historical era it may not be so much that totalitarianism will last way into the future. We may be witnessing death throes. Sort of like when a chicken has it's head cut off and runs about exerting great energy before it dies.
