So essentially totalitarianism is authoritarianism on steroids?
Eineus Not exactly. Totalitarianism is ultra-authoritarianism (the strictest obedience and submission to all authority at the expense of political freedoms, individual liberties, and personal rights), pure despotism (all political power and authority is concentrated into one person), and an extreme police state. You can have an authoritarian democracy, the Soviet Union, Maoist China, and the eastern bloc were perfect examples of such.
It can be call democracy if there is only one party? I don't think so
@@santiagobustamante2082 ya I agree with you on that point Santiago
Santiago Bustamante Maybe you can vote for whoever you want, but they have to be from that party
@@santiagobustamante2082 actually, authoritarian states can have multiple political parties that are in government but are suppressed, Hungary for example, even though it is not completely authoritarian, it has a really flawed state thats edging on a hybrid regime, which is a state either converting from authoritarian to democracy or a democracy converting to authoritarianism, its quicker to become an authoritarian state ofc but enough with the terms. Hungary's multiparty state has mostly been dominated but its Right-wing populist and Far-Right coalition Fidesz-KDNP. One way they practice authoritarianism is by using the threshold system in elections, a single party alone must have 5% of the votes, while a coalition of two parties will need 10%, and a coalition of three or more requires 15%. Not only that, parties in coalitions that already had seats prior to the election would not lose those seats or become parliamentary if they failed to meet the 10% or 15% threshold, which is somewhat like a way to make it seem like Hungary is having a completely democratic election, but it could be used to the ruling parties(Fidesz-KDNP) advantage if they lose power as they would lose seats(because popular vote is what decides the outcome in mult-party systems) but would not lose them all if they dropped below the 10% bilateral coalition threshold.
Thanks, great clarification. The Totalitarianism = Authoritarianism + A Lot More! is a good way to understand it. They are different degrees of the use of power, not different kinds/types.
Great! We love hearing from happy users. We also have great study materials for specific exams on our website at www.mometrix.com.
@MometrixAcademy But, when the authoritarian takes on the strawman fallacy, thus ruling in tyranny, this needs a new stronger word, spelled differently.
Totalitarian sufferes from the strawman fallacy. Now, the narcissist is a victim, and they are self justified to rule in tyranny. While the author is the root word in authoritarian. My local building department is the authority having jurisdiction. I don't mind getting violations to correct the problems by the authoritarians. Author, authoritarian, and the people having authoritarian jurisdictions (to give me a speeding ticket) is all the same word.
But, when the authoritarian takes on the strawman fallacy, thus ruling in tyranny, this needs a new stronger word, spelled differently.
For example, Walt Disney testified to congress unions were communist. By doing the strawman fallacy, he threw the first stone.
a good example of authoritarianism is the russian empire in world war one where the king had all political power but didn't control any aspects of russian culture, behavior, beliefs or economics.
compared to nazi germany where hitler controlled the political power and the lives of his citizens unlike the tsar
remember when stalin ordered mass genocide of 10 million people during the cold war?
And Mao's famine of 38 million
Yes
Good point. The Tsar had little power but legally was the absolute authority on everything. In theory he controlled all of Russia. But he didn't.
Another example is Fascism in Italy is authoritarianism, vs Nazi totalitarianism.
Or communist Romania 🇷🇴 was authoritarian simply because Ceaucescus attempts at totalitarianism faltered. It may have been totalitarianism for a short time.
The country Ceaucescu had sought to imitate, North Korea 🇰🇵 had implemented totalitarianism.
The authoritarian Romanian regime was attempting to copy totalitarianism. But it crumbled quickly because the people were not compliant with the system the authorities were trying to put in place.

Great work Sister.
Some democracies have totalitarian and authoritarian aspects too, nothing is pure one thing or the other
@James East I wish I could give this response an award for the realistic nature of how the US government really is and how we don't actually live in a democracy just the false connotation of one.
@James East Well, the problem here, is that everyone deciding on a law is inefficient, it would work if the US had a smaller population and in fact, it is present on localized levels in small towns especially. Though once you get to county level or state level, direct democracy doesn't work. States like Sweden, according to the Democracy Index on wiki, are considered full democracies, having a representative parliamentary system.
Agree
For me kids singing the national anthem before school begins, is a totalitarian aspect
Once you stop valuing individual willpower, you infantilize the people and start confusing being a leader and a commander. It's a fine line which paves the way to authoritarianism.
So Australia is Authoritarianism headed towards Totalitarianism. got it.
You nailed it.
Dan Andrews has made a perfect example of it in Victoria.
We need to get rid of the Westminster system and become a "People's Republic of Australia".
The term "Granting people's rights"
Is authoritarianism, people must maintain control of governments, local, state and federal.
I'm having trouble to understand these terms, but thanks to you, I fully understand!
so does my mom practice authoritarianism by forcing me against my will to stop playing fortnite and make me do my homework?
if its true then why isnt the cia do anything about her regime im being oppressed by her despotic ways
As you should
My son is saying the same thing Lol. All I'm asking is that he get his basic communal responsibilities done which is barely anything in addition to the general rule of work first before play unless it's the weekend. Other than than he gets served hand and foot by me and his grandma and fed like a King! 😂😂😂
lol
This was very helpful thank you
The best governance system could be a mixture of all "isms". I believed my country the Philippines is a democratic and republican government with a touch of individualism, authoritarianism and socialism but not totalitarianism and communism. The Philippine Constitution says: The Philippines is a democratic and a republican state. Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them. Through popular election the president and other national and local elective positions are elected. the individual has sovereignty of itself and guaranteed by the Bill of Rights of the Philippine constitution. The individual person(natural or juridical) can do anything for itself and benefit provided it will not impair the rights of others to which if happened the other person can have its redress of grievances through the court. The government through the President can call the armed forces or declare martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus in case of invasion, rebellion, and lawlessness and violence. This is already authoritarianism . The late Philippine President Marcos declared martial Law on 1972 throughout the country because there was anarchy then. The state is under threat by Communist party of the Philippines and its armed group, the New People's Army; and in the southern part of the country it was threatened by the armed secessionist movement of the Moro national Liberation Front. The state must defend itself from these actual threat. The state introduces agrarian reform to give the tenants(serf) their land they are tilling owned by the landlords and other wealthy families owning big tracks of lands while others have no land to till at all. Socialism practice like Medical and health care, free education, housing and other benefits for the people were undertaken. the best practice of governance is democratic as it allows other "isms" to practice when they are beneficial.
Nicely explained.
It's a type pf rule for any government in the dictatorship section of governments.
What does "get-off-my-lawnism" mean?
Chris Zablocki Torino
Dictatorship.
Having a shotgun for defending your property
Anarcho-capitalism
Chris Zablocki my dad
Awesome! Thank you :)
Thanks for being unbiased I was just trying to learn so when I searched the first thing that came up was trump and authoritarianism
We are glad you enjoyed the video. Don't forget to check out our website as well at www.mometrix.com.
Trump might be authoritarian but the far unhinged left is Totalitarianism.
Jamil Gotcher Did you just say the far left is totalitarian?
Jess yes she did, watch some videos of the left demanding people bow to their beliefs while they are eating in a chipotle. This is the mob mentality of totalitarian government. This is the beginning.
143rocknroll cmon that’s laughable because the two main branches of government are right leaning. The leftist that are in office and the ones you see on fox aren’t the same people. And both totalitarianism and authoritarianism require political power.
Deferentiate between monarchy system and Authoratic system?
This help alot unlike Social Science Research.
This video is a good summary of the distinction between totalitarianism and authoritarianism, but for the claim that Nazi Germany was totalitarian. It wanted to be, but lacked the opportunity. The regime's military objectives came first. Germany had to acquire lebensraum (living space) in the East, before it could set about crushing all dissent and perfecting the Germanic race. That meant that open dissent by the churches and hidden dissent from the military could not be dealt with until after the war was won. Fortunately, Germany lost the war.
Stalin's USSR and Mao's China are good historical examples of a totalitarian regimes, as is today's increasingly repressive China. In the late 1930s, Stalin could and did execute any military leader he distrusted. Mao killed millions for not being enthusiastic followers of his communist dogmas. China is moving against Hong Kong because it cannot allow a successful democracy to exist on its doorstep.
This was a really good video
Thank you very much
great explanation
Thanks! We also have excellent study materials on our website at www.mometrix.com.
Actually a really good video
What would Austria be right now? December 2021... with the rest of Europe following closely behind? Certainly not a democracy.
Now i understand...thank's for that miss :)
Thank you

Pretty good thanks
I love how you raise your eyebrows
Except you didn't give an example of a authoritarian ruler who wasn't totalitarian. Would Mussolini suffice?

Dat happy background music...
It really was useful indeed

I can’t wit this video
@@MometrixAcademy Does Something like Ultra Totalitarianism exist?
I would view the authoritarianism as the moderate between the two extremes of totalitarianism and individualism.
Authoritarian = alows individual initiative and values the individual, but not at the price undermining the group or Authority (whether a King, Oligarchs, Senators, ect).
Totalitarian = no individual initiative or value beyond those that wield the power of the state
Every government can become Totalitarian, especially democracy in a time of crisis.
What prevents totalitarianism is good strong men and honorable women that value their people and their ability to become stronger/more powerful on an individual level.
thank you
Awesome mam
background music is a bop 🕺💃
madam i cannot understand the concept
Stfu bitchboi
Yes, it was helpful.
Great, we are glad you enjoyed it. We also have great study materials for specific exams on our website at www.mometrix.com.
Absolutism.
Gotcha. Both must be condemned in favor of pure liberty.
Not pure liberty, freedom without rules is just chaos.
The Weimar Republic's Reichstag was authoritarian, yet all its members were elected. This is democratic despite being authoritarian. If this isn't democratic, then neither is the election of the US President today, where the College elects the President not the people. (The people are not the electorate during the election of the President. The Electoral College is, however.)
The Reichsrat, however, was an advisory council to the President and was appointed by state representatives to discuss matters of state, and other national and diplomatic issues, this is meritocratic. Therefore was not elected by the common people, much like the US President isn't today.
Authoritarianism is a stepping stone to totalitarianism
Correct
Democracy is a stepping stone to Anarchy.
Authoritarian will tell you what to do
Totalitarian will make you do what it wants you to do
