Totalitarianism refers to a political system in which the people are completely or nearly completely dominated by an all‐embracing state. Totalitarianism is often said to involve the lack of independent social sectors, the non‐existence of rights and pluralism, and the eradication of politics. The concept is frequently viewed as differing from authoritarianism in a number of ways: being more ideological; involving the domination of a single political party; seeing pervasive state intervention at every level; and being a peculiarly twentieth‐century political form
