Totalitarian Government

A Totalitarianism Government Totalitarianism is a form of government that has total and absolute control over the people. Some people may believe that totalitarianism is the logical choice of government if the well being of a nation is at risk. However, I do not agree with this statement, I feel that totalitarianism should never be used under any circumstance. First off, totalitarianism offers no privacy at all. The citizens of the nation are watched by the government twenty-four-seven. Everyone deserves their own personal privacy; they don’t want to be watched all the time feeling paranoid. Also, if they do or say something completely innocent but the government takes it the wrong way the person would just magically “disappear” and never be found ever again. Another reason why I disagree with totalitarianism is because in the past it has killed many people. For example, the Soviet totalitarianism killed more than twenty million of its own people. The Nazi totalitarianism caused a war in which ten million of Germans died. And let’s not forget that the Chinese totalitarianism caused the death of more than fifty million of their own people. Would you want to be a part of those millions of people? Some of the citizens that were killed may have been a threat to the government but killing them was a harsh punishment they could have just been put in jail. However, some of the people that were murdered were killed for pointless reasons, they were innocent people and the government took their life away all because of totalitarianism.

Even the people that weren’t against the government were still worried for their life. Since, others around them were getting murdered even if they simply said “I hope the government changes the form of government.” The citizens of the country had to use censorship when they would speak, otherwise the government would become suspicious of them. This also caused people to become so paranoid that they would end up killing
