In other words, a fantasy. It is true that states (including liberal ones, obviously) tend to become more invasive during times of crisis, but reaching this level of control would have been impossible even if the head of state wanted it. See the Third Reich, for example, where the lack of unity became especially apparent in 1945 as so many officials were disobeying their Chancellor’s orders.
‘Totalitarianism’ means jackshit. People, the reasons that anticommunists present this crude caricature of fascism is so that 1. you won’t recognise it when you see it, and 2. you won’t compare it to the centrist or neoliberal status quo.
That could be anything!
I love how libs 1) think any propaganda is evil, bad, and a sign of satan. 2) Think they are completely immune from most propaganda or at least “aware” 3) don’t realize that any form of media that expresses a political opinion is propaganda
