Category:Totalitarianism
From RationalWiki
See the main article for this category, Totalitarianism.
Articles about totalitarian regimes, governments, leaders and philosophy. It may be seen as an arbitrary "Authoritarianism++". However, there are notable features which distinguish the two:
- The desire to possess, not only control of groups, but control of individual people.
- Severe intolerance to all disagreement and dissent, whereas Authoritarianism tends to have some room for dissent.
- Extreme, exasperated censorship, and equally matched with the idea that the dictator/state should be lorded and showered with praise
- Often as result, a Personality cult that is almost religious in nature and can legitimately drive people insane. Best example is Joseph Stalin.
