Totalitarianism
Stalin created a new kind of government, called a totalitarian state.In a totalitarian state, the government is a single-party dictatorship that controls every person of the lives of citizens. Individual rights don't count for nothing. Citizens must obey the government without questions, and critics are quiet. Also, the totalitarian state supports high nationalism. Stalin used propaganda, censorship, and terror to force his power on the Soviet people. Government newspapers worshiped in other words loved work and Stalin himself. Secret police spied on citizens, and anyone who refused to praise Stalin and the state, faced bad punishment, even death. Both Lenin and Stalin supported the idea of a world communist revolution and aided communists in other countries. In the 1920s, when some communist uprisings did occur in Europe, they were quickly suppressed.
Fascist
After World War 1, Italy was plagued by economic and political problems. Workers went on strike in the cities, while in the countryside, landless peasants seized the property of wealthy landlords. The unrest made the middle class fear a socialist revolution. An ambitious politician, Benito Mussolini, used the turmoil to gain power. Mussolini founded the Fascist party. Fascists glorified the state, supported aggressive nationalism, and condemned democracy because they believed rival parties divided the state. They also opposed communism and defended private property. In the early 1920s, Mussolini and his followers, known as Black Shirts, won the support of many Italians by attacking communists and socialists. Then in 1922, Mussolini led a "March on Rome" supposedly to prevent a communist revolution but in fact to frighten the government into naming him prime minister. Once in office, Mussolini increased his power by appointing Fascists to top offices, censoring the press, organizing a secret police, and banning any criticism of the government. He controlled the army and the schools, urging Italians to accept the slogan: "Everything in the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
