===[[File:Totdem.png]] Totalitarian Democracy===

'''Totalitarian Democracy''' is an extreme form of illiberal democracy that entails a [[File:Dem.png]] democratically elected leadership and active political engagement among the masses, but the government exhibits [[File:Totalitarian.png]] totalitarian tendencies. A totalitarian democracy is typically a [[File:UniParti.png]] one-party state where leaders exercise [[File:Sec.png]] dictatorial powers: Attempting to control every aspect of public life through propaganda and forcing everyone to comply with their ideological agenda. The term was coined by J. L. Talmon to describe [[File:Jacobin.png]] Revolutionary France under [[File:MaximilienRobespierre.png]] Maximilien Robespierre. While he led a surface-level democracy, he attempted to control every aspect of French life through state-sponsored terror, political persecution, and censorship. Talmon controversially argues [[File:Rousseau.png]] Rousseau's "general will" justifies such a style of government. It has a lot of overlap with electocracy due to lack of accountability, but they go to extreme ends to mold society in their image from the top-down.
