Ask yourself which party or organisation is showing totalitarian leanings in your country. All quotations from the excellent book by Thomas Sowell, Knowledge And Decisions:
It is not simply the origin or basis of political power that defines totalitarianism, nor even the amount of power or its ruthless application. A tyrant is not automatically a totalitarian. It is the political blanketing of the vast range of human activities-from intimate personal relations to philosophical beliefs-that constitutes "totalitarianism."

The founder of fascism and originator of the term "totalitarianism," Benito Mussolini, summed it up: "All through the state, all for the state, nothing against the state, and nothing outside the state."' Totalitarianism "recognizes the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with those of the State."

Totalitarian ideology typically features
(1) the localization of evil-in Jews, capitalists, or some other group-so that comprehensive political solutions to age-old human problems seem feasible within a reasonable time horizon by surgically removing the offending group, leaving a healthy body politic intact,
(2) the localization of wisdom, to explain why this miraculous cure has escaped so many minds for so many centuries, as well as explaining the necessity for superseding democratic institutions and beliefs,
(3) a single scale of values by which priorities may be arranged in every field of human endeavor, to be achieved "at all cost,"
(4) the presupposition of sufficient knowledge to achieve whatever goal may be projected,
(5) the urgency of the "problem" to be "solved" so that ruthlessness is the lesser of two evils, and
(6) a psychic identification with millions, whose opinions may nevertheless be disregarded and whose lives may be sacrificed in the cause, without feelings of guilt.

Finally, the totalitarian ideology must be a self-enclosed sys tem, to exclude alternative views and visions which are-regardless of their substance-inherently antithetical to a single totalitarian ideology.
