Nobody can actually control what a person thinks other than that particular person, but the governments and secret police in totalitarian states do as much as they can to influence people's thought patterns and control their access to information.

I will use Hitler as an example. Germany was in an economic downturn. Hitler was a magnificent speaker who offered a reason for this occurring; he blamed the Jews. No one wants to hear that the problem with their country are their own so the German accepted this as an answer. Totalitarian leaders take over a little at a time, so they can earn the trust of the people and before you know it, you are believing that genocide is the only answer to heal your country's problems.

A government controlled by on political group which suppresses all opposition and controls many aspects of it's citizens?

That isn't a question, but if you mean, "What is a government controlled by one political group, which suppresses all opposition and controls many aspect of its citizens lives called?It's called a dictatorship.Historical examples include, Hitler's National Socialist (Nazi) party in 1930's-40's Germany. The USSR's Communist Party from 1917-1989.A current example is The Communist Party of The Peoples Republic of China.Do not confuse a dictatorship with a particular political/economic governmental structure, i.e Communism, Fascism, Capitalism. All of these can be classed as a dictatorship if other political groups are outlawed under these systems. By contrast, all of these system's can be implemented under a democracy, if the people choose the ruling party from a number of choices via a free election.
