What is Totalitarianism? Totalitarianism Explained | Difference Totalitarianism and Authoritarianism

Have you ever wondered what Totalitarianism is? In this short video we’ll dive into the most important core features and brief historical examples of this political system. Totalitarianism is a political system where the state holds absolute power over every aspect of public and private life. Unlike authoritarianism, it seeks to control not just political and economic spheres but also the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors of its citizens. Historical examples of totalitarian regimes include Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, and North Korea under the Kim dynasty. These regimes justified their extreme measures as necessary for national security, ideological purity, or the greater good of society, leading to widespread human rights abuses and a climate of fear and repression. #totalitarianism #authoritarianism #politics
