=Homework:= =What is Totalitarianism?= >
 * Due Friday 3/28: 16-4 - Life Under Stalin **Outline**
 * **Totalitarianism** is when a one-party dictatorship controls all aspects of citizens' lives. This includes controlling them economically, but also politically and socially through censorship, propaganda, and the threat of fear and intimidation.
 * This, however, begs the question: //How do people of a nation allow a dictator to rise to power?"//
 * poor economies after WWI and the promise of jobs and a strong economic plan
 * the promise and hope of restoring pride and glory to the country/nation
 * political corruption and a declining belief in the democratic system
 * Once in power, how does a **totalitarian**, or dictator, control the people?
 * Through the use of __thought control__:
 * Censorship - strategically choosing what it is that the people can see, read about, and do.
 * Propaganda - using biased or one-sided media and/or speeches to manipulate (or lie to) the people in order to persuade them of something beneficial to the dictatorship
 * Through the use of fear and intimidation:
 * threats of execution, prison or concentration camps, beatings, etc.
 * public executions, or stories (through the media) of such atrocities, in order to scare the people of any revolutionary thought

 * SMURFS: An allegory for Communism/Socialism**

-Visit the above website to see what Communism **should** look like, according to the **theory** of Karl Marx, as everybody lives in a perfect, harmonious society, where everyone is equal, and performs a task for the good of the society. On the website, you will see the use of the SMURFS as an allegory, or a metaphor, to tell the story of what a utopian society looks like, as it breaks down the metaphors that the author/artist used to illustrate Communism/Socialism.

-Unfortunately, the **practice of Communism** is vastly different. This can be seen in the Soviet Union under Lenin, and especially Stalin, the ruthless dictator who used Totalitarianism (see above) over the Soviet Union and its people.
