Totalitarianism was much more than state terror, censorship, and concentration camps;
it was a state of mind in which the very idea of a private opinion or point of view had been destroyed.The totalitarian propagandist forces people to believe that slavery is freedom, squalor is bounty, ignorance is knowledge, and that a rigidly closed society is the most open in the world. And once enough people are made to think this way, it is functionally totalitarian even if a single dictator does not personally control everything. November 1999 | American Renaissance
