148. The difference between totalitarianism and
authoritarianism is a distinction with a difference. We are increasingly becoming an authoritarian state wherein trans-national corporations rule by governmental proxies. The Third Reich was a different variety of authoritarianism, where the national government was not controlled by corporations, but rather used them for an ideology of militaristic expansion. The Soviet Union was a totalitarian government which did not permit corporations to exist.
