Totalitarian regimes often employ a range of tactics to maintain control and suppress dissent. These can include censorship of media and information, propaganda to shape public opinion, surveillance and monitoring of citizens, persecution of political opponents, control over education and cultural institutions, and the use of force and violence to instill fear and maintain obedience. These tactics are aimed at maintaining absolute control over all aspects of society and suppressing any opposition to the regime.
