I actually manged to attract some abusive responses when I first wrote and posted this. Highlights:
I find the totalitarianism jab quite funny in that in its most recent form it has been driven by individuals. i.e. Mussolini, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin. Now this also can be influenced by the Great Man view of history which prevails and which you subsequently alluded to. Collective achievements have often been overlooked or dismissed. I'm sure liberalism's problematic history with trade unionism was also a driving force behind this essay.
