	Totalitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Totalitarianism is a typology employed by political scientists to describe modern regimes in which the state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private behavior.
		Totalitarian regimes mobilize entire populations in support of the state and a political ideology, and do not tolerate activities by individuals or groups such as labor unions, churches and political parties that are not directed toward the state's goals.
		They argue that governments which are often classified as totalitarian may not be as monolithic as they appear from the outside, since they may hide a political process in which several groups, such as the army, political leaders, industrialists, and others, compete for power and influence.

	New totalitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New totalitarianism is a term coined by ethicist John McMurtry to describe the political economy implied by so-called market theology; in other words, the ethics resolved wholly by the global markets with existing state power balances.
		market totalitarianism, market fascism, pizzaisation of the planet and "crapitalism", although those terms are in general too narrowly defined.
		The most robust alternative term is global economic monoculture, invoked often by Greens to imply the cancer-like expansion of trade economies at the expense of ecosystem integrity - a central concern of green politics.

	Hannah Arendt [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Totalitarian ideologies offered just such answers, purporting discovered a 'key to history' with which events of the past and present could be explained, and the future secured by doing history's or nature's bidding.
		Accordingly the amenability of European populations to totalitarian ideas was the consequence of a series of pathologies that had eroded the public or political realm as a space of liberty and freedom.
		The rise of totalitarianism was thus to be understood in light of the accumulation of pathologies that had undermined the conditions of possibility for a viable public life that could unite citizens, while simultaneously preserving their liberty and uniqueness (a condition that Arendt referred to as 'plurality').

	CHAPTER II
		This may be nothing new, but from the theoretical point of view it is rather strange that the death of the dictator had so great an impact on the disintegration of the system which was not his own invention or creation.
		In 1924, the year of Lenin's death, totalitarianism in Russia was not full-fledged and the process of transferring power to enable continuation of the same social order went smoothly, of course in the totalitarian manner (i.e., some heads were cut off).
		This circumstance is fatal for totalitarianism: the sooner it eradicates all remnants of the old society, the sooner it digs a grave for itself.

		In the new totalitarian movement, this omnipresent directive force communicates through global financial and media control centres, with Washington and Wall Street the dominant nodes of the interlocked system.11 The world’s means of life and mass media are the material and symbolic vehicles by which the flows of goods and demand for goods control populations.
		As with all totalitarian systems, the dominant instruments of social power are wrested from traditional authorities, and then unleashed with none of the formerly inhibiting mechanisms of law, custom and social norm to limit their use and magnification.
		The new totalitarianism is, ultimately, an American corporate confidence game which rules the world by images and projections of power arcing over the globe’s surface, while limitlessly rapacious financial sequencings called “free flows of capital and commodities” strip world’s peoples and their life-ground underneath.

	Poland's New Totalitarianism
		There is a common belief that the Church is a rising, new guiding force for society, with an obligatory 'one true world view.' Not surprisingly, the social response has been one of fear; the similarities with the past are too conspicuous to go unnoticed.
		New falsehoods, full of 'blank spaces' and simplifications that distort the Polish past, have replaced those of communist history.
		The emerging totalitarianism is far more vicious and dangerous than communist rule because it destroys the will, initiative, intellect, moral sensitivity, human dignity and makes out of a free and intelligent being an automaton reacting to the commands of the church.

	totalitarianism. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		A totalitarian government seeks to control not only all economic and political matters but the attitudes, values, and beliefs of its population, erasing the distinction between state and society.
		Despite the many differences among totalitarian states, they have several characteristics in common, of which the two most important are: the existence of an ideology that addresses all aspects of life and outlines means to attain the final goal, and a single mass party through which the people are mobilized to muster energy and support.
		For example, the chaos that followed in the wake of World War I allowed or encouraged the establishment of totalitarian regimes in Russia, Italy, and Germany, while the sophistication of modern weapons and communications enabled them to extend and consolidate their power.

		It is the intention of this paper to advance the discourse of hegemony beyond the epistemological limitations of (1) political conceptions of totalitarian state coercion and (2) Gramscian views (1971) of class based ideological domination realized through the well-known institutions of civil society.
		A new quality of mind, a new imagination, is necessary to grasp the essence of hegemonic crisis at the global/systemic level.
		When the new technology is used by speculators to effect a run on a nation’s currency, the same technology facilitates the rapid disinvestment by external capital.

	The Hannah Arendt Papers: Totalitarianism: The Inversion of Politics - Part 1
		The enormous complexity of The Origins of Totalitarianism arises from its interweaving of an understanding of the concept of totalitarianism with the description of its emergence and embodiment in Nazism and Stalinism.
		The scope of Arendt's conceptual objectives may be glimpsed in the plan she drew up for six lectures on the nature of totalitarianism delivered at the New School for Social Research in March and April of 1953 (see "The Great Tradition and the Nature of Totalitarianism").
		In the second lecture she considered the different kinds of government as they were first formulated by Plato and then jumped many centuries to Montesquieu's crucial discovery of each kind of government's principle of action and the human experience in which that principle is embedded.

		The most serious gap in The Origins of Totalitarianism is the lack of an adequate historical and conceptual analysis of the ideological background of Bolshevism.
		All other elements that eventually crystallized into the totalitarian movements and forms of government can be traced back into subterranean currents in Western history, emerging only when and where the traditional social and political framework of European nations had broken down.
		The following selections, while suggesting some totalitarian elements in Marxism and some of the problems Arendt found in Western political thought, are really an introduction to the full story she told about Marx.

		Clearly the new law will be used not so much to protect homosexual persons against unjust discrimination as it will be wielded as a cudgel to intimidate those who simply disagree with them and to punish those who are outspoken about it.
		It must be understood that the new “hate crimes” law and the same sex “marriage” law are an incestuous partnership, the sole purpose of which is to bring about the enforced restructuring of the nature of human society itself.
		The word totalitarianism usually generates impressions of dictatorial systems which brutally crush civic freedoms and negate the humanity of their subjects in an effort to achieve complete control.

		The German concept of Rausch (ecstasy, enthusiasm) was for Nietzsche an “oceanic emotion” that grew from a “strong attraction to power.” The idea of a state that went beyond that of one’s here-and-now, became a central constituent of totalitarian dogma.
		This new approach to the history of fascism and totalitarianism demends not only an awareness of historical debates and media studies, but a keen sensitivity to language and aesthetics.
		Case studies of the three best known cases of twentieth-century totalitarianism-German Nazism, Italian Fascism and Soviet Communism-would prove not only that the concept of Rausch is relevant for everyone interested in totalitarianism, but also that politicians more interested in power than in the mere preservation of institutions abused ideas from an interesting philosophical tradition.
