Read the link. Pretty much every example where FDTD was used as a guidebook, the ruling regime had even more of an open violence policy even than the modern US (although, we're catching up fast).

The idea that the secret police might be shooting people in the streets or throwing them in prison for trying to change the system isn't new for fascist systems or a sudden and unique problem we're facing.
