Cevap
Totalitarian states enforce an all-encompassing official ideology and demand active mass mobilization across public and private spheres, whereas authoritarian states permit limited social pluralism provided political rule is unchallenged.
Totalitarianism is defined by its totalizing ambition: it seeks to control all social, economic, cultural, and personal aspects of life under a singular, compulsory ideology accompanied by forced mass mobilization. Authoritarianism, by contrast, restricts political participation and opposition but typically tolerates social and economic institutions operating independently so long as they do not threaten the regime's political power.
