How Did The Government Become Totalitarian

During World War II many governments made the jump from a democracy or monarchy to a totalitarian society, with most modeling themselves after Nazi Germany. Argentina was no exception, becoming a model of Germany, even harboring exiles and Nazi generals after the war. In George Orwell’s 1984, the government is portrayed as totalitarian, ruling over its people with an iron fist. The book served as a warning, informing people of the dangers of communism and the abilities that it granted the government. These governments were not formed immediately, rather they built up from the ground gaining traction and courage as they gained support and followers. Totalitarian societies obtain their power through forcibly pushing their ideas on the people
Argentina is a perfect example of this with their political party in 1940. "After the election of Peron decreed their merger into the Sole Revolutionary party (Partido Único de la Revolución), but that sounded to totalitarian, so the name was changed the Peronist party" ( Kinsbruner and Langer 295). With a name like that Peronist party, they would not have had the same opportunity to rise to power because at least one person would've noticed that what they were doing was suspicious, prompting them to connect that with the parties name, a totalitarian name. this would've led to harassment of the party and a deeper look into their true motives. The government of Argentina also showed its power by controlling the people. "And practice it aims at what are you called the organize society, which essentially is a corporate state with representation based on government controlled associations of employers, workers, and professionals" (Kinsbruner and Langer 295). The government is in charge of the citizens in almost every society, but in this specific case it would not only monitor, but command every aspect of the people in the lives of their lives. With this achieved, Peron would effectively be running the country, able to do what he wanted without fear of obstruction. The people are that you know how do you remain oblivious to what was happening or they would become suspicious. By placing loyal people directly underneath and he's creating a buffer between yourself and the people; a buffer that will help them make sure that the districts are locked down and doing what he wants him to. with a government that is openly to tell Teryan, nothing will be accomplished. The public with instantaneously know what was happening and try to stop it with everything they had because people actually want their freedoms,
