- Synaesthesia 11y agoWell one of the best is Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism". Also worth looking at the concept of inverted totalitarianism, by Sheldon Wolin.

- pastProlog 11y agoHow is anarchism a "totalitarian" ideology? I have been reading in the press about how the NSA, the CIA, the FBI etc. want an encryption backdoor in everything Americans use, so we can be spied on at will. I don't see why this isn't totalitarian and somehow anarchism is. Anarchism means no state, whereas totalitarianism means total state control, yet you're saying no state control means more state control. It makes no sense.
- xlm1717 11y agoI don't think the intention was to link them together, just to ask for introductions to other alternative ideologies. It's not good to put words into other people's mouth. PlzSnow never said anything about less state control meaning more state control, for example.
