Just because you want a nanny to tell you what size of drink you can have, doesn't mean the rest of us believe we need the same.
If I'm not sure what size a small soda is, I'll just ask.
You must have missed the part where I said NO, someone shouldn't limit the size of soda I could purchase....though I don't think calling a bucket a small soda is necessary. Someone who wants to drink a bucket of soda should have to ask for a bucket rather than lie to themselves by calling it a "small."
If you look at third-world countries, heck, look at Mexico, you'll see that the economy is controlled by very few at the top, with the majority of people in poverty. These countries have very ineffective governments.
Logically speaking, it can't. Since in the situation you are speculating, the government controls what books are printed, what books are distributed, etc. Since they control the array of choices available to you, they in effect control what you read.
No, in my hypothetical situation, you can go online to any distributor in the world and order any book you like. The government pays for it and delivers it at your home where it goes in a video monitored lock box in a secure room built in your home which you can enter on Monday afternoons and read that book.

That would be the government controlling what you read, that would fall under unlimited government.

Then you are changing your original proposition. The government doesn't control every aspect of life outside the one book.
