Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism  is a hyper-authoritarian ideology that believes that opposition parties should be banned, the state should permeate all facets of society, and that society must be run for the state by the state. He is opposed to  Democracy and civil liberties and believes dissent should be harshly punished. He is a more extreme form of Authoritarianism, and is usually very  nationalistic, although not always.

History
Systems similar to Totalitarianism has been around since antiquity. Examples include Sparta where the state controlled the way of life for the lower and upper classes.

Totalitarianism was first used by Giovanni Amendola to describe Fascism but eventually totalitarianism has became one of the fundamental attributes of  Fascism thanks to Giovanni Gentile who put totalitarianism into a positive light which the goal of the state is to "total representation of the nation and total guidance of national goals." Totalitarianism has then been promoted by Benito Mussolini with the quote "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." Hitler also made comments about totalitarianism in order to build a perfect unity state. Fascists are huge proponents of totalitarianism as fascists wanted complete control of the state and the nation in order to further the nation's goals wanting the ideology to spread into every facet of society and even the human spirit. In fact totalitarianism is one of the core beliefs of fascism.

The origins of modern Totalitarianism as an ideology are debated. Philosopher Karl Popper believed its roots lie in the Hegelian conception of the state, and even more so in the theories of Karl Marx, while philosophers Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer of the  Frankfurt School argued it is rooted in the  Enlightenment.

After WWII, totalitarianism has since grown out of being just a fascist core belief and has since been used in a negative connotation to describe regimes that have attributes to totalitarianism. Many communist dictatorships such the Stalinist USSR and the  Maoist PRC were described as totalitarian regimes with total control of all facets of the society.

According to Carl J. Friedrich, there are 6 traits of Totalitarian Dictatorship, which he found to be shared between all regimes that are regarded as such:
 * 1. An elaborate ideology, consisting of an official body of doctrine covering all vital aspects of man's existence to which everyone living in that society is supposed to adhere, at least passively; this ideology is characteristically focused and projected toward a perfect final state of mankind - that is to say, it contains a chiliastic claim, based upon a radical rejection of the existing society with the conquest of the world for the new one.
 * 2. A single mass party typically led by one man, the "dictator", and consisting of a relatively small percentage of the total population (up to 10%) of men and women, a hard core of them passionately and unquestioningly dedicated to the ideology and prepared to assist in every way in promoting its general acceptance, such a party being hierarchically, oligarchically organized and typically either superior to, or completely intertwined with, the governmental bureaucracy.
 * 3. A system of terror, whether physical or psychic, effected through the party and secret-police control, supporting but also supervising the party for its leaders, and characteristically directed not only against demonstrable "enemies" of the regime, but against more or less arbitrarily selected classes of the population; the terror whether of the secret police or of party-directed social pressure systematically exploits modern science, and more especially scientific psychology.
 * 4. A technologically conditioned, near-complete monopoly of control, in the hands of the party and of the government, of all means of effective mass communication, such as the press, radio, and motion pictures.
 * 5. A similarly technologically conditioned, near-complete monopoly of the effective use of all weapons of armed combat.
 * 6. A central control and direction of the entire economy through the bureaucratic coordination of formerly independent corporate entities, typically including most other associations and group activities.

[[File:Icon7.png]]We
We by Yevgeny Zamatin is a dystopian novel about an ultra totalitarian and collectivist state. There is no place for any form of individualism. There is no family - the state is everyone's family. Everyone gets equal housing, work, food and clothes. There is 24h schedule where people have personal hours for walking and sexual hours for sexual needs.

One State's sentences and elements:

"There is no me, we are" - these words run through the entire novel. There is no place for individualism in One State, no individual

"We give up freedom to be happy" - the basic principle of the State - there is no freedom. They are all the property of the country they live in, they cannot freely decide about their lives, everything is imposed on them - when they get up, when they eat and when they love each other. They can choose only with who they have sex.

Unanimity Day - election day. This is no democratic election - voting is open, there is only one candidate, and no one is allowed to break out of the vote or fail to appear. The elections, then, are just a formality that turns into a celebration in honor of a well-known winner.

Glass houses - are a form of limiting personal freedom. No citizen can live in a building where he is invisible to the Guardians, his life must be constantly monitored. (in the time when this book was written, there were no cameras)

Illegal maternity - women are not allowed to get pregnant unless they are assigned to do so. There are no private children in the State, no wives, husbands or mothers. Nobody has a family of their own, because they are all one big family for each other.

The Hourly Decalogue - one of the holies. No citizen can decide for himself what time to go to bed or go for a walk. Nobody in the country can choose a profession. All citizens can do is choose who they will have sexual relations with.

Imagination is the worst disease - the inhabitants of the One State cannot dream of anything because dreams are a sign of mental illness which is imagination. Man does not need imagination, he does not have to make any decisions himself, and the state does everything for him. He's just an instrument doing the job;

Their Great Reset video series (Leonardo of Biz)
Youtube creator Leonardo of Biz created a | video series where the World Economic Forum predictions have come true. Now the world lives in a progressive totalitarian dystopia controlled by oligarchy and corporations. In this video series the main character who is an ordinary man lives through this life. The corporations and government have given him a phone that keeps track of his entire life and what he does for the state, and what displeases the state... In this world progressive values have taken place in this dystopia claiming to fight sexism, racism, have equal rights and solve climate change. However this is still totalitarian as saying anything against the government or corporations can get you in big trouble. Everyone lives in apartment pods where they don't really own anything individually as its provided by the state. Insects and Bugs have become the main food source (except for the elites, probably) and totalitarian "wokeness" is enforced everywhere. The two videos in the series so far "You will be Happy" and "You will eat the Bugs" are takes on what would happen if the World Economic Forum got their way. Many people including more right leaning have opposed these deals saying its a totalitarian oligarchy and not helpful to the world. This video series seems to exercise that idea into visible content...to warn people...

Post-Totalitarianism
Post-Totalitarianism is an ideology that advocates for extreme totalitarianism without any connections to the left or right or for any large moral/ethical purposes in favour of having a totalitarian government simply because it is the only future humanity has. It also distances itself from ideologies such as Ingsoc that exists purely to harm the human race.

Personality and Behavior
Totalitarianism is a dictator and loves the works of Hegel. He often goes on about his love for Hegel and is one of the few ideologies that can read Hegel and understand what he's saying.

Totalitarianism also loves surveillance people and Cleaning Political house, raids and support state power very much. His hand is covered with the rooting out of dissidents.

Totalitarianism hates when people call him a devil, especially when you are in LibUnity.

Totalitarianism takes parts of liberty and the media in return for unity, that will let Totalitarianism's power overtake.
