They are Skinner’s Walden Two enacted in the real world, of draconian experiments that sought to gain compliance by circumventing Thought and working straight on the Primal base of human behavior" Walden Two was not a futuristic tyranny, but rather a liberation from capitalism, sexism, and a consumer society. Walden Two made no war, had no police, no standing army and encouraged cooperation. It was a society of minimal consumption (along the lines of Thoreau's Walden - "another oppressive model"?) with rammed earth walls, a local production of food, clothing and shelter, and the reliance on community generated culture and entertainment. You might want to actually read the book before you casually insert it into your fear-based paranoiac propaganda designed to scare people with your contrived techno-bogey men.
