Dictatorship and Totalitarianism
- Dictatorships govern without consent of the people and in totalitarian dictatorships the power to govern extends to all aspects of life.
- Dictatorship is a form of government in which the ruler has the power to govern without consent of those being governed.
- Totalitarian governments are those that exert total control over the governed; they regulate nearly every aspect of public and private behavior.
- In other words, dictatorship concerns the source of the governing power (where the power comes from—the people or a single leader) and totalitarianism concerns the scope of the governing power (what is the government and how extensive is its power).
- In this sense, dictatorship (government without people's consent) exists in contrast with democracy (government whose power comes from people) and totalitarianism (where government controls every aspect of people's lives) exists in contrast with pluralism (where government allows multiple lifestyles and opinions) .
