Totalitarianisms, or totalitarian regimes, are differentiated from other autocratic regimes because they are directed by a political party that pretends to be or behaves in practice as a single party and fuses with the institutions of the State. These regimes, in general, exalt the figure of a character who has an unlimited power that reaches all areas and manifests through the authority exercised hierarchically. They promote a mass movement in which it is intended to frame the whole society (with the purpose of forming a new person in a perfect society), and make intensive use of propaganda and different mechanisms of social control and repression such as the police secret

cuban communists pressured the soviet union to place missiles in cuba.

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
