How totalitarian is exactly totalitarian? I asked chatgpt and it gave few points
- Control goes beyond politics
- A single, all-encompassing ideology
- No meaningful private sphere
- Mass mobilization and propaganda
- Extensive surveillance and repression
Seems like China is ticking all the boxes.
> No meaningful private sphere
Have you ever been to China? Everyone has their own private lives. It's no different than any other country in that respect.
In China, you rarely interact with the government in daily life. Most people are just living their lives.
Honestly thought you were listing traits that the US has now till the last line.
You forgot
- No freedom of religion
