Totalitarianism, a form of government where leaders control every aspect of citizens' lives, is comprised of elements like dictatorship, fascism, tyranny, and communism. Originating as a synonym for dictatorship in Italian Fascism, it now represents complete control and limited rights, witnessed through oppressive regimes like Hitler's and Mussolini's. The distinction between totalitarianism and fascism lies in the degree of control, with the former having more extensive power over its people with fake polls and power struggles. Learn why this matters, how it influences society, and who benefits from this extreme form of governance.
