Also for those promoting social democracy as something not totalitarian, read Frederich Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom."

F.A. Hayek FTW 

Funny video. Would like to correct the one part though, Hayek didn't believe in laissez-faire. He believed government had a role in the economy through the rule of law, as opposed with arbitary central-planning. So, for example, Hayek agreed with anti-trust laws but not the nationalization of a market. He often talks in "The Road to Serfdom" about government's purpose being to aid competition, not to remove it.
