Totalitarianism
Totalitarianism is a form of government in which the state has total, unrestricted control over the affairs of citizens. Totalitarianism is intimately related with fascism, which represents the total merging of state and capital for the repression of the proletariat via the absolute restriction of all nominal bourgeois democratic civil and political freedoms.
"For the Fascist, everything is the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State. In this sense Fascism is totalitarian." — Benito Mussolini
Usage in bourgeois academia
Bourgeois academics commonly use the term "totaltarianism" to attack socialist states such as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and People's Republic of China under Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong respectively. However, this label is erroneous; socialist democracy offered much greater and more meaningful freedoms in comparison to their capitalist counter-parts. This is in addition to the fact that totalitarianism is a capitalist concept.
