This is far worse, as you know. The United States has been moving in thie direction for some time now, but at a slow enough rate that most people didn´t see it coming...it accelrated as the wealthier gor richer and the middle class disappeared...the Patriot Act was a big boost and now the threat of the Espionage Act coming into play. I got suspicious when they decalred that the war on terror was a global thing and would be with us always...that constant state of war Orwell warned us about...that being the case they can haul people in for no reason at all and keep them for a few months or years...it isn´t so much that you or I are actual threats, they know we´re not, but fear spreads and soon no one dares utter a word...and there is Blackwater...the day will have to come the people rebel...you can only grind people so far, and when that day comes they´ll say it was "hatred" for America that made Americans seek social justice...because America has come to mean the interests of a small class of super-rich who no longer need us to work for them and also no longer need us to buy their trinkets, that we make...we´re simply going to be a problem to them.
