Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state recognizes no limits to its authority and seeks to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible. It is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression. The government typically maintains power by means of an all-encompassing propaganda campaign, extensive surveillance, and the use of terror tactics to suppress dissent.
