I thought the main point was that the people who have strong totalitarian
tendencies want to break into the mind and reorder it to accept their
perfect world order.

The way to get people to give up on real freedom is to confuse them about
what the term means. A very good technique for obliterating the knowledge
of a concept is to take the words that refer to that concept and create new
meanings for those words and promote those meanings.

If you can't articulate what political freedom is (and I think most can't)
then it is far easier to convince you (and I mean the royal you, not you
personally ) that you are free when you are not.
