Totalitarianism: The evil child

While learning about the principles behind totalitarianism, which is best associated with leaders like Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Vladimir Lenin, a quick and concise way of describing what totalitarianism is all about can be summed up with five words: Big Brother is watching you.
I am referring here to both the reality show and beyond it. In lay man’s terms, the idea behind a big brother society is simple: we stay in an isolated community, where we are voided of any contact from outside that state we live in, and every move we make is constantly being monitored by a certain person that the residents of that state should follow to. In this isolated community, every request and order the “Big Brother” says to the people must be followed or else they will face a certain consequence. Whatever “Big Brother” likes, his people should conform. This is how the reality show goes on.
In a totalitarian sense, the “Big Brother” show is indeed a less violent form of totalitarianism, since the real totalitarianism that we are talking about here, of which had its peak from the 1920s up to the 1940s, is that totalitarianism injects violence and fear to its people in order to make everyone in the state follow and supposedly “live in a stable environment”.
The real totalitarian government is not as simple as what “Big Brother” is doing in the reality show; instead, the totalitarian leader has total control (hence, a derivation from the root word or totalitarianism which is total, meaning complete and whole) over the whole state. In addition, when I mean total control here, I mean that the totalitarian leader has control from what he likes the media to show to the public to the days when certain activities, such as sports and entertainment, should be held. And not just that the totalitarian leader watches every move of the individual living in his state, he in fact forces each of the individual to not be unique and instead have every individual carry the same thought and beliefs all throughout every aspect regarding the state, which therefore discourages the formation of elite classes, middle classes, and lower classes in the state.
A classless society who think alike - that is what totalitarianism is all about. No one can go against the government, no one can say that the government is wrong, as the government is always right. No one can share ideas and innovation as it is forbidden by society. No one can have it their way; it has to be always in the favor of the totalitarian leader. What the totalitarian leader says must be followed. If the totalitarian leader does not like you, he can have you killed instantly; if he does, then good for you. The whole point of this? The individual becomes like a toy or pet of the totalitarian leader, where he can do whatever he would like. The totalitarian leader is a child - an evil child - that does brutal things to his toys and pets. This evil child does not care what happens to his toys or pets whether they get destroyed (in the case of the toys) or if they die (in the case of the pets); the important thing is that he is happy and satisfied.
The result with such? The people living in a totalitarian state become paranoid with their every move, with what they say, with what they do, and with what they know. They have been degraded from intellectual human beings into just mere species of animals with no intellect in the sense that the uniqueness of the human being, and its ability to reason, has been stripped out of them by the totalitarian leader. Because of this, people belonging to the totalitarian state act like robots, who follow orders unconsciously even if it is wring in the first place.
Hence, the idea behind totalitarianism resulted into pure horror to the human race. The degradation and the violence it caused has transformed the classless society of human beings into just a society of robots being governed by a lone “human” being. Instead of promoting equality in a peaceful way, totalitarianism forces people to be equal, robbing them of their basic rights as humans. For me, the ultimate flaw with totalitarianism is the fact that induces violence and that it gives overwhelming power to the said totalitarian leader, which in the end would still not lead to equality but instead would lead to injustice, making the totalitarian leader use up all his power to force people to follow him, creating an illusion of an “equal” society where in reality it is never equal.
Maybe through what totalitarianism has caused within our history, we should realize that although we would desire to have a equal society (as what Marxism and Communism desired in the first place), it is indeed ideal to form a equal society where justice is served properly, people are treated equally, and everyone is given basic human rights, but realistically such is an herculean task that will be really hard to accomplish, but nonetheless, we can still work it out to make society as equal as possible, but not in a violent way as what totalitarianism promoted.
