About This Quote

The totalitarian state is a state where there is no freedom of speech, religion, etc. Almost all totalitarian states originated in the mid-20th century. The purpose of totalitarian states is to make people obey and follow the rules and regulations. This is achieved through the use of fear and propaganda.

The more extreme and dangerous a totalitarian state can become, the more people will fear it. They will then try to avoid that state, which they fear and want to avoid, by imitating that state in some way or another.
