Totalitarianism is a concept in liberal political science which typically refers to a state or group which combines "authoritarian" policies such as the suppression of "political pluralism" and "free speech" with a unitary or overarching worldview. The concept is often used to conflate socialism with fascism, while overlooking neoliberalism's own oppressive nature.[1]
Criticism

The Italian Marxist-Leninist Domenico Losurdo criticized the concept in his 2004 essay "Towards a Critique of the Category of Totalitarianism".
