Hot take: If something is a good idea, you don't need a totalitarianism to convince people to value them and change their behavior.
If people don't change their behavior, it isn't either that good idea, or the person is not good in convincing others to change their behavior.
Of course, there are multiple factors, like shortterm vs longterm vision; competition with someone who is less ethical, ecologic, etc. But overall, totalitarian regimes don't have a good track record of longterm & ethical success, quite the opposite.
As many things as possible should be handled on individual level and volutarily and as little as possible on centralized level with using force. This is an approach, that allows cohabiting of people of different opinions, cultures, etc.
