Totalitarianism is a political system where a government has unlimited control.[1] In some totalitarian regimes, a dictator holds all of the power; in others, a single political party does. In all cases, the government tries to control every part of its citizens' lives, and individuals have few rights.[2][3]

Totalitarianism is a type of autocracy, and an extreme form of authoritarianism.[1]
