Sweden has been farily socialist and quite democratic for quite a while now. I think rather than extreme liberalism requiring a totalitarian leader, any extreme ideology requires a totalitarian leader, since the public will not accept any extreme ideas for long unless totalitarian methods such as mass propaganda, violence etc are applied. Seems thats basically what happened in Nazi Germany, a place which was ruled by a government that couldn't really be defined as liberal, or conservative, it was really just a mixture of extreme ideas. As to the equality causing unrest, people could, and did, seek membership in the Communist Party in order to gain some superiority. But other than that, it is a good point.

I don't really understand what you were saying there Zhukov... Do you mean revolutionary pre-Napolean France was liberal? And which liberal leanings were you reffering to in pre-Stalinist Russia? Czarist or Leninist?
