Totalitarian dictatorship

Explanation:

A Totalitarian dictatorship is a political regime in which political power is exerted by one person or party in an authoritarian way, avoiding the intervention of others, and controlling all aspects of life. In a totalitarian dictatorship, freedom and human rights are completely restricted and the State exerts all power without divisions nor limits. In totalitarian regimes, the government is in the hands of a hierarchical and bureaucratic political party setting a one-party system and, in general, this party exalts the image of a political leader who is at the top of the hierarchy. This political system not only controls all the political channels of action, but it also controls, restricts, and configures the ideas, opinions, ideologies, and desires of the population, in order to set the society to work for the state and to worship the government's ideology. Often, totalitarianism rests on the support of the masses and the military forces. Examples in History of totalitarian dictatorship are Nazi Germany, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and Fascist Italy.
