Communist totalifarianism is distinct from Fasicst or Nazi totalitarianism in one important fact. The State, its machinery and everything else that happens in a Communist regime is meant to be merely a transitional stage on history’s inexorable path toward a future depicted as one of complete human emancipation and freedom. The Dictatorship of the proletariat is armed with the revolutionary task of destroying capitalism and building socialism. Every coercive measure it adopts is justified to attain the end. The Party, which is the vanguard of the socialist society, is entrusted with duty of educating the “backward” public in their “social consciousness.” The Party must,therefore, exercise control and accumulate power. The holders of power are the agents of the movement of socialism and they act “democratically” in a more profound way then do the people’s representatives in a capitalist democracy. The Communist leaders are accordingly, performing the historic task of social and general reconstruction.
