TOTALITARIANISM

Totalitarianism is a form of government that exerts total control over all aspects of public and private life, including society, business, housing, education, media, religion, and the arts. Individuals are subjected to demands of loyalty, denial of basic liberties, and personal sacrifice for the state's benefit. Modern technology, mass communication, surveillance, and advanced military weapons are used to enforce control through police terror, persecution, censorship, and indoctrination. The ruthless tactics include spying, intimidation, torture, murder, and labeling ethnic or religious minorities as enemies of the state. Learn about the historical examples of totalitarian regimes in the Soviet Union, Italy, Japan, and Germany.
