Totalitarian regimes exhibit features such as a single-party rule, suppression of opposition, and pervasive state control over various aspects of life, including the economy and media. These systems often employ propaganda to maintain control over public perception and manipulate national identity. Citizens in such regimes typically experience limited civil liberties and face repercussions for dissent. The government often uses surveillance and state security forces to enforce compliance and prevent uprisings. The emphasis on total ideology can lead to significant consequences for personal freedoms and societal structure.
