• Gulags in Cuba, Egypt, and Afghanistan

• Free-speech “Zones”

• Publicly-financed propaganda

• One party media

• Public policy directed by CEO

• Pre-emptive invasion of other sovereign countries

• Refusal to participate in a World Court

• Legislation directed at enriching supporters from the public coffers

• Rewriting of environmental laws by polluters

• Orwellian legislation of "Clear Skies" and "Healthy Forests" that call for more air pollution and rampant logging of old growth forests
