	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.

	Totalitarianism - MSN Encarta
		Totalitarianism, in political science, system of government and ideology in which all social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual activities are subordinated to the purposes of the rulers of a state.
		In modern totalitarianism, however, people are made utterly dependent on the wishes and whims of a political party and its leaders.
		Among the decisive, technologically conditioned features of totalitarian dictatorships are a monopoly of mass communications, a terroristic secret-police apparatus, a monopoly of all effective weapons of destruction, and a centrally controlled economy.

	Totalitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Totalitarianism is a typology employed by political scientists, especially those in the field of comparative politics, to describe modern regimes in which the state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private behavior.
		The political scientists Carl Friedrich and Zbigniew Brzezinski were primarily responsible for expanding the usage of the term in university social science and professional research, reformulating it as a paradigm for the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin as well as fascist regimes.
		Any suggestions of the indefinite stability of states labeled totalitarian among proponents of the term were largely discredited when the Soviet Union fell by the wayside.

	Totalitarianism - Charles' George Orwell Links
		The concept of Totalitarianism is a typology or ideal-type used by some political scientists to encapsulate the characteristics of a number of twentieth century regimes that mobilized entire populations in support of the state or an ideology.
		Totalitarian regimes maintain themselves in power through secret police, propaganda disseminated through the media, the elimination of open criticism of the regime, and use of terror tactics.
		Totalitarian systems, however, may not be as monolithic as they appear, since they may hide a process in which several groups—the army, political leaders, industrialists, and others—compete for power and influence.

	The Fight Against Totalitarianism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Totalitarianism is like a specter which drinks the blood of the living and so achieves reality, while the victims go on existing as a mass of living corpses.
		And when rudimentary totalitarian methods appear in a world that is still free, it is typical that men need fear no evil if they join a totalitarian movement, but do have to fear the consequences of free speech, of positions and associations displeasing to that movement.
		In a totalitarian state, any accusation or complaint is almost the same as a conviction, for the objects of prosecution are not legally well-defined acts but states of mind.

		Yet so advanced is the totalitarian impulse in Canada that advocates of the federal redefinition of marriage positively boast of how broad-minded they are in allowing churches to administer their own sacraments as they see fit.
		But before totalitarianism triumphant, there is the totalitarian impulse, which may be understood as the ambition of the state to extend its authority to realms where it has no authority.
		The totalitarian impulse is a threat to democracy because it seeks to overturn the democratic value of limited government.

		The fundamental fact of communist rule is that totalitarian authority and monopolistic privileges of ownership rest in the governing bureaucracy.
		Because of its totalitarianism and monopolism, the new class finds itself unavoidably at war with everything which it does not administer or handle, and must deliberately aspire to destroy or conquer it.
		In the same way, the monopolism and totalitarianism of the ruling class in the Communist system are imposed on all the aspects of social life, even though the political heads are not aiming at this.

	Demosophia: Totalitarianism 3.0
		I'd argue that totalitarianism was actually far more prevalent prior to the 20th Century (Louis XIV of France, John I and Charles I of England, the so-called 'enlightened absolutism' of the Hapsburgs and Katherine the Great, ancient Japan, Asia, and China).
		Strongly implied is that totalitarianism is a response to a rise in liberal democracies.
		Essentially, totalitarianism is a form of government where individual freedoms are virtually nonexistant and that all aspects of an individual's life are subject to the desires/needs/whims of that government.

	Swans Commentary: Totalitarianism Then And Now, by Michael Doliner - mdolin13
		Totalitarianism is not a form of government, but a mass movement organized as a political party that hijacks the state and uses it as the tool to set in motion a whirlwind.
		Totalitarian regimes don't have normal political goals, but under the guise of a utopian vision they let loose the apocalyptic urges of mass man. Those in power harbor dark longings for the end of the world.
		Totalitarian propagandists organize masses through an appeal, not to their self-interests as one might with a social class, but to a selfless vision of some politically unattainable goal.

		Totalitarianism is a political system where the state tries to control almost all aspects of society.
		Totalitarianism generally justifies its huge centralization of power at the top in terms both the alleged severity of threats facing society and alleged utopian visions of the future that is supposed to be produced by the ruling regime.
		Totalitarianism often uses religion to define itself as the manifestation of supernatural power on earth and very frequently creates a cult of personality around a supreme leader, who is either presented as a prophet of God or an actual living god on earth.

	The New Totalitarianism
		The new totalitarianism has absolutely no such concern; its only interest is imposing the diabolic policy of barabaric annihilation on the world, thereby reaping huge profits from its energy, financial, and "defense" industries and turning all countries into militarized police states whose peoples will be forced to become their "cannon fodder."
		The new totalitarianism doesn't maintain even the pretense of democratic rule; it's established an unabashed dictatorship (think domestic spying, warrantless arrests, and seizure of all three branches of the federal government).
		The new totalitarian regime has taken a page from the Roman handbook: to rule the world it's not enough to have overpowering military might--the rest of the world must be fully aware of that might and fear it.

	Totalitarianism
		On a scale of 0 (=anarchy) to 10 (=totalitarianism) the Democrats occupy 6 and 7 and the Republicans occupy 8 and 9.
		One of the definitive aspects of totalitarianism is the existence of a single political unity with so close an identity between each Party and their policies and the governmental policies of the country that the Parties and the government constitute an indistinguishable unit.
		This totalitarianism is more invasive, more reliant on propaganda and on terror to gain the total assent of the populace for its ongoing warfare and right to rule society.

	Inverted Totalitarianism
		We may have invaded Iraq to bring in democracy and bring down a totalitarian regime, but in the process our own system may be moving closer to the latter and further weakening the former.
		With such instrumentalities for promoting uncertainty and dependence, it is almost overkill for inverted totalitarianism to employ a system of criminal justice that is punitive in the extreme, relishes the death penalty and is consistently biased against the powerless.
		That scheme is abetted by a sycophantic and increasingly concentrated media; by the integration of universities with their corporate benefactors; by a propaganda machine institutionalized in well-funded think tanks and conservative foundations; by the increasingly closer cooperation between local police and national law enforcement agencies aimed at identifying terrorists, suspicious aliens and domestic dissidents.
