"Totalitarianism" as a term was largely popularized in order to depict Communism and Nazism as "twin evils," when the reality is that Socialist countries have had dramatic democratization of the economy.
@Cowbee @memes might be true, but by definition (A system of government in which the people have virtually no authority and the state wields absolute control) my comment is correct
