  1. Totalitarian By: Reid Milam

  2. Definition • To·tal·i·tar·i·an – a: of or relating to centralized control by an autocratic leader or hierarch • b: of or relating to a political regime based on subordination of the individual to the state and strict control of all aspects of the life and productive capacity of the nation especially by coercive measures (as censorship and terrorism)

  3. Origin • Italian totalitario, from totalità totality • First Known Use: 1926

  4. Examples • One of the first to use the term "totalitarianism" in the English language was the Austrian writer Franz Borkenau in his 1938 book The Communist International, in which he commented that it more united the Soviet and German dictatorships than divided them.[13] Isabel Paterson, in The God of the Machine (1943), used the term in connection with the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
