Protectors of the human race

There is a group of people – usually young Americans – who consider
themselves the protectors of the human race. They are agreed, as they
view the world, that government compulsion is necessary for all human
action, so that the long-hoped-for solutions which mankind itself
could not provide may, by the remedies provided by their foresight, be
vouchsafed for the general betterment of all.

I am afraid that these wannabe emperors will never concede that they
are wrong when their social experiments fail, and that they will be
driven to compel people even more to the point that USA becomes
totalitarian.

I do not want USA to be totalitarian because it has a large military
and lots of disgusting weapons. If it goes on a killing spree, the
rest of the world will lose its freedoms.
