Joseph Stalin and Totalitarianism

The word Totalitarianism means a modern autocratic government in which the state involves itself in all facets of society, including the daily life of its citizens. A totalitarian government seeks to control not only all economic and political matters but the attitudes, values, and beliefs of its population, erasing the distinction between state and society. The citizen’s duty to the state becomes the primary concern of the community, and the goal of the state is the replacement of existing society with a perfect society. the way stalin used Totalitarianism to the Soviet Union was that the citizens were included with the society. and the goverment saw there was alot of political matters but they had attitudes. Also Joseph Stalin was part of the totalitaranism and he was in charge of it two. The people had to obey the goverment no matter what they say and what they do. They have their own secret police called the "thought police" and they all have one leader they must love "Big Brother". The book is really good and it's very similar to the life of Russia under Stalin's rule. Just like the people in Russia the people in the book were also being brainwashed into liking their leader and doing everything they are told.
