Totalitarianism

nothing

By restricting access to information other than government propaganda

The country of China has actually a communist government. However, it is slowly transitioning into an oligarchy just like Russia. In an oligarchy, there is no constitution and the people has no right to vote. The government is led by a council or board of directors.

In a totalitarian government it is a group of people or a single political party that take control of every aspect of the lives of the people they govern. This type of government no longer recognizes the views or beliefs of any other group or political party.

A government that has total power over its citizens. usually one ruler but can be an oligarchy or just a group on meanies. like in Russia's communist government. NOt a democracy.

The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin was considered to be Totalitarian because of the oppressive conditions the citizens of Russia had to live in. Many people were killed or sent to Gulags under Stalin's rule, and propaganda was widespread. For more info on Stalin, read Stalin: The Glasnost Revelations.

Benito Mussolini was an italian fascist dictator.

Adolf Hitler was the german Nazi dictator.

Stalin was the communist dictator of the Soviet Union.

They were the leaders of their respective countries, they were totalitarian, meaning they attempted and succeeded for the most part at controlling every aspect of the country, economy (for the most part), military, diplomatic, the law, etc.

There are presently a number of totalitarian states on Earth; the most extreme example is that of North Korea and Lithuania's "Seimas". Burma (also known as Myanmar) is also notable for its totalitarianism, as are several other nations including China, Libya, Syria, etc.

One person rules, makes/changes the laws, and does what he wants. There are no elections or voting by the people.

German in the its golden years (Stresemen's Recovery) "1924-29" had adopted many diffrent schemes such as that involved borrowing money from America, but when the wall street crash of 1929 took place America needed all it money back which plunged German into a Depression, there were no jobs, there was no money and people were desperate for food. Things were looking very bad for Germany and its people, when after his spell in prison and writting his book "Mein Kampf" Hitler with the Nazi party came back and shone a light of hope for the people. He had a new tac-tic, insted of using extreme violence like he did before he decides to use a more polictical approach but still keeping most of the parties aims, he offered free food, More jobs and promised a better life for all Germans. This enouraged the German people to vote for the Nazi party, Also usally in time of extreme circumstances people vote for extreme parties because although radical styles are used they usually pay off.

Elections are not fair. (one party to vote for)

Sometimes no elections. (Dictator appoints himself)

He ruled with absolute authority.
He isn't. He is dead.

Usually as history will tell us, is by implying fear on it's people, through an attack on the country which would allow the government to in act laws to restrict some of our civil liberties, and the excuse is usually to ''protect us''. Then little by little as rights are taken away they will be in full control of the people and we will have no hear say.

Total control of the military. Total control over means of communication (newspapers, Propaganda, etc.). Control over the economy. Police control with the use of terror as a control tactic.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (commonly known as North Korea) is officially a single-party military dictating Juche republic, which is incorrectly colloquiallized with totalitarianism and communism, even though most Western and European media recognize the nation as a totalitarian state.

North Korean dictatorship began in its early stages after the defeat of Japan in World War II, which ended its 35-year hold on Korea as a colony. The removal of Japanese presence allowed the United States and the Soviet Union to temporarily hold control of parts of Korea. The United States occupied the south and the Soviet Union occupied the north. An agreement was made to make the 38th parallel the dividing point.

With mistrust growing rapidly between the United States and the Soviet Union, tensions also appeared between the Koreans. In 1947, the United States presented the problem to the United Nations, who decided to split Korea into North Korea and South Korea at the 38th parallel.

At this point, the Soviet Union still held parental control over North Korea. The North Korean political system was heavily influenced by the Soviet presence and its communist government. In 1948, the Soviet Union officially withdrew from North Korea.

Kim Il-sung, a Korean communist supporter, officially founded North Korea the same year the Soviet Union withdrew and led the nation as the Prime Minister from 1948 until 1972, when the Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was written.

During the 1950s, Kim Il-sung was seen as an orthodox communist leader and openly praised Stalin and Soviet Communism. However, he sided with the People's Republic of China during the Sino-Soviet split, opposing the reforms brought by Nikita Khrushchev, whom he believed was acting in opposition to communism.

Kim Il-sung soon distanced himself from Stalin and the Soviet Union and began reforming North Korea to his own tastes. This began the North Korean totalitarian government that is recognized today.

After Kim Il-sung died on July 8, 1994 he was given the title of "Eternal President of the Republic". The position of President remains exclusively to Kim Il-sung incumbent. His son, Kim Jong-il, is the de facto head of North Korea and rules with a miltary dictatorship.

The government has complete controll over every aspect of the lives of the citizens
