'''Totalitarianism''' is a political system, where the state wants to totally regulate every aspect of public and private life. In practice, the term is used to highlight supposed similarities between [[fascism (broad sense)]] and [[communism]], or, more narrowly, between [[National Socialist Germany]] and Stalin's [[Soviet Union]]. This usage can be partially seen as a form of [[guilt by association]], which was especially popular during the [[Cold War]].

While Stalin's Soviet Union did control every aspect of life, totalitarianism as a supposed system in National Socialist Germany can be seen as problematic for reasons such as the large private sector and limited control over religion.

Rather than being a totally centralized state, power in National Socialist Germany has been argued to have been widely diffused between a number of state and party agencies competing with one another. Furthermore, entire ministries and the German armed forces remained almost or largely free of [[NSDAP]] influence. This contributed to an argued surprising degree of "plurality" in cultural and intellectual life.<ref>A Prominent German Historian Tackles Taboos of Third Reich History http://codoh.com/library/document/2494/</ref>

Regarding whether Italian [[fascism]] was totalitarian, see the [[Fascism]] article.

Throughout history, there have been numerous non-[[liberal democratic]] and very authoritarian regimes that have had state religions controlling many aspects of daily life. Today, there are non-liberal democratic [[Islamic states]] with [[sharia]] as the official legal system. However, it is usually not considered [[politically correct]] to label such states as totalitarian.
