What countries are still under totalitarianism's?

Answer 1

Here are some:

1. Laos
2. Vietnam
3. North Korea
4. Cuba
5. Afghanistan

Totalitarianism is generally defined to be total state control of all part of society, with the state being (in turn) controlled by a single individual, single family, or very small group of individuals. Absolute Monarchies generally fall into this category, but not most other types of limited monarchy. Most scholars exclude Communism as being automatically Totalitarian, though there is a strong overlap in practice. Dictatorships, by their very nature, are Totalitarian.

In the modern world, these countries should definitely be considered Totalitarian:

• North Korea
• Burma (Myanmar)
• Libya
• Mauritania
• Qatar

These countries are perhaps debateable, or have a de-facto totalitarian government (vs the legalistic form they are supposed to have):

• Belarus
• Kazakhastan
• Laos
• Saudi Arabia
• Syria
