Police Terror, Propaganda, Censorship, Religious Prosecution, & Indoctrination
The leader of the totalitarian regime based on communist philosophy was Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. Under his leadership, the state implemented extensive political purges, collectivization of agriculture, and industrialization efforts, often accompanied by widespread repression and terror. Stalin's regime aimed to consolidate power and promote a centralized economy based on Marxist-Leninist principles.
The totalitarian regime in Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, was characterized by an extreme emphasis on racial ideology, particularly anti-Semitism, which was central to its policies and propaganda. Unlike some other totalitarian regimes of the 1930s, such as Stalin's Soviet Union, the Nazi regime pursued aggressive expansionist nationalism and militarism, culminating in the pursuit of Lebensraum (living space) for the Aryan race. Additionally, the regime utilized advanced technology and mass media to propagate its ideology and consolidate power, employing terror tactics through organizations like the SS and Gestapo to suppress dissent and enforce conformity.

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.
Dictatorships and totalitarian governments acquire power by making promises they feel the public needs to have. They use propaganda to present themselves as the only solution to a nation's deep seated problems. Once in power, they abolish all other parties and use terror to remain in power. The perfect example of this was the Nazi regime in Germany.
the use of violence and terror to control his population
To be an ideal citizen you must have all the characteristics of totalitarianism itself. It has ideology or set of beliefs, that all citizens are expected to approve. It's often lead by a dynamic leader and a single political party. Mass communication technology helps a totalitarian government spread its aims and supports its policies. Also surveillance technology makes it's possible to keep track of the activities of many people. Finally, violence, such as police terror, discourages those who disagree with the goals of the government.
