States like Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia which used terror systematically to intimidate and control their citizens are called "totalitarian". The answer is not "terrorism" which does use terror to intimidate people but is not a system. More of a technique.
Police Terror, Propaganda, Censorship, Religious Prosecution, & Indoctrination
In a totalitarian regime, police terror serves to instill fear and suppress dissent among the population. It enables the government to maintain control by targeting political opponents, dissidents, and any perceived threats to its authority. This intimidation creates an atmosphere where citizens feel unsafe to express their views or challenge the regime, thus reinforcing the state's power and ensuring compliance. Ultimately, police terror is a tool for consolidating power and eliminating any potential resistance.

Totalitarianism and absolutism share similarities in their concentration of power, but they are not always synonymous. Totalitarian regimes seek to control all aspects of public and private life through ideology, propaganda, and state terror, while absolutism primarily focuses on the authority of a monarch without necessarily enforcing an all-encompassing ideology. Thus, while totalitarian systems may be absolutist in nature, not all absolutist regimes exhibit totalitarian characteristics.
Stalin was a totalitarian, because he maneuvered himself into total control of the government by use of terror and fear. He controlled the secret police and the Politburo of the Communist Party and by that he effectively controlled everything. He permitted no political opposition, ignored laws when he wanted to and essentially imposed his personal will on the country.
Totalitarian government controls everything, using terror to suppress individual rights and silence opposition. People who disagreed with Hitler were silenced, beaten, or killed.
