Totalitarianism is a hyper-authoritarian ideology that believes that believe opposition parties should be banned, the state should permeate all facets of society, and that society must be run for the state by the state. He despises Democracy and civil liberties, and believes dissent should be harshly punished. He is a more extreme form of Authoritarianism, and is usually very nationalistic, although not always.

History

Totalitarianism has been around since antiquity. Examples include Sparta where state controlled the way of life for lower and upper classes. More modern examples include Edo period Japan.

Adolf Hitler in Germany, Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union, Benito Mussolini in Italy, Mao Zedong in China, Emperor Hirohito in Japan, Pol Pot in Kampuchea, and Kim-Il Sung in Korea are leaders that have commonly been regarded as being totalitarian.

The origins of modern Totalitarianism as an ideology are debated. Philosopher Karl Popper believed its roots lie in the Hegelian conception of the state, and even more so in the theories of Karl Marx, while philosophers Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School argued it is rooted in the File:Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png Enlightenment.

The term "totalitarianism"'s first recorded use was in the early 20th century.

Personality and Behavior

Totalitarianism is a dictator and loves the works of Hegel. He often goes on about his love for Hegel and is one of the few ideologies that can read Hegel and understand what he's saying.
