totalitarianism means the total elimination of the private (its propably more then personal or is it both) space. hanna arendt is a fucking wrenck that opposed enfranchizement of afroamericans. she invented a definition with the pure purpose of equating marxismleninism with nazism. because socialist states doesnt have a private economy, you can basically check half the boxes in the list of totalitarian traits, even though this doesnt say anything about the nature of the system at play. all you then need is a radio liberation from bolshevism “report” or two that claims suppression or control in other spheres and voila you have yourself a totalitarian system. no different from the nazis. this is fucking dumb. stop using that word. deprogram.
