Totalitarism

Totalitarianism is a form of government where a single party or leader has almost complete control over all aspects of life, including politics, the economy, culture, and personal freedoms. It typically involves strict censorship, propaganda, and surveillance to maintain power, often suppressing dissent and opposing views. In such regimes, individual rights are sacrificed for state control, and citizens have limited or no participation in decision-making. Examples include historical regimes like Nazi Germany and Stalinist Soviet Union. Overall, it centralizes power to an extreme degree, reducing personal liberties and dissent to sustain authority.
