totalitarianism refers to a political system in which there is only one representative party which exhibits control over every facet of political and human life.
Power is often maintained by suppression of opposition, which can be violent. Media censorship, political repression, and denial of rights and civil liberties are dominant ideals.If there is opposition to government, the response is imprisonment or even worse tactics, of ten torture.
This may be used as a form of rehabilitation or simply a warning to others who may question the government
