Modern Political Thought Questions
Totalitarianism in modern political thought refers to a form of government or political system where the state has complete control over all aspects of public and private life. It is characterized by a single ruling party or leader who exercises absolute authority and seeks to control every aspect of society, including the economy, culture, education, media, and individual freedoms. Totalitarian regimes often employ extensive propaganda, censorship, surveillance, and repression to maintain their power and suppress any opposition or dissent. Examples of totalitarian regimes include Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, and North Korea under the Kim dynasty.
