Making the UK totalitarian
by Mike Matthews, Evangelicals Now:
Totalitarian changes are being made in the UK.
‘Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state recognises no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible, without any respect for human rights.’ (Wikipedia).
Christians seek to honour Christ under whatever system they find themselves: but we must recognise that we live in a country which has the structure of a totalitarian regime, with a godless ideology.
The ideology
For every such regime the rulers are committed to an ideology as if it were absolute truth: they are extremists. Communism, Nazism, radical Islamism and, in modern day Britain ‘liberalism’. It is extremism – in a velvet glove, but concealing an iron fist nevertheless.
‘Liberalism’ is not freedom of speech, but freedom from all restraint for those who wish to impose their ‘freedoms’ on the country: freedom to impose their hedonistic and anti-religious ideology on all others and suppress opposition. Their watchword is ‘toleration’, a truly Orwellian description, for it means those who disagree with their ‘liberal’ views will be forced to tolerate – nay, subscribe to – those views, with no toleration of dissent.
This is not a political issue: all of the current main parties are subscribers to this ideology. There is no effective place for views which run counter to their basic beliefs, and every area of life has been reconstructed on the basis of these new unwritten assumptions.
