There has never been a more meaningless term invented to describe a system than "totalitarianism".
The person who popularized it was a Zionist philosopher who ranted against the Brown v. Board of Education decision to desegregate American schools and wanted a system in Israel to stratify non-European Jews.
So it’s only fitting how Libs take to the term like water.
do you have a link on that
I'd love to reference that next time I hear cringe
Here’s some more gross writing

Ahahaha lol wow, thank you, I look forward to bringing this up the next time someone calls China, Cuba, DPRK, USSR, etc. Totalitarian
It's a thought terminating cliche that they can apply to any government they don't like. it's perfect for liberalism. No material analysis, no concern for details, just vibes and oppression.
I recall hearing stories of how the Soviet government had to send representatives to negotiate or even beg the worker Soviets of some factories to change their production lines to match some of the 5 year plans.
But sure, totalitarian control over the population was a thing.
I guess that makes the nazis and fascists less totalitarian than the communists :xok-og:
I read a book for school, can't remember what it was called, but a big part of it was how the workers of a factory in late Communist Hungary would basically take their factory apart and re-build it based on what resources were available. If they had potatoes and carrots it was a baby food factory. If they had fruit it was a juice factory. Whatever shortages they might face they would re-configure their equipment to continue to produce something if they possibly could.
And then, of course, when Communism was destroyed the factory was stolen and they all lost everything.
thats a very interesting example. Very flexible factory production lines aren't something you really hear about nowadays in a world that emphasizes profitability through streamlining and specializing factory production lines. Thank you for sharing.
glad we're under total control of private corporations instead
I went to a very, VERY Liberal college online. I graduate in 2 weeks actually. Nevertheless, I made sure throughout my entire time to throw in some Marxist and Anarchist points into EVERY SINGLE paper I wrote from the very start to my last assignment due on Saturday.
If you try and force-feed me capitalism, I will counter with Dialectical materialist Communist theory.
Punch whoever wrote this in the face and then squeeze lemon juice into their eyes.
Tie a bunch of lemons to your fists and then punch them in the eyes
Save some time that way
Reminder that Hannah Arendt was an inveterate racist who opposed integration, and her words on what is and isn’t fascism are worth less than dirt

“Enforced integration is no better than enforced segregation”
