And that's the point. It's a regime, a form of government.

Going somewhere, doing something, and then leaving, is not a form of
government and has absolutely nothing to do with totalitarianism. Not
even if that something were a negative thing.

Do you disagree with the notion that eradicating smallpox from the world,
saving millions of lives, was a good thing?

Or would you rather sacrifice those millions of lives to your altar of
political correctness?

If you agree that those millions of lives were worth the worldwide smallpox
vaccination program, then you have not business in criticizing the
worldwide polio vaccination program, or else you are just a hypocrite.

If you don't agree that the millions of lives were worth the vaccination
program, then I don't even want to write the words that come to mind to
describe what you are, because it's nauseating to even think.
