Taylor- Totalitarism

Totalitarianism is imposing a form of government in which the political government exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life. This method was used to a great extent in order to make the people support the Nazi regime . Although Hitler was the person that came up with the ideals he used the Nazi regime to carry out the task. The regime used three tatics to make sure totalitarianism took complete control over the German people such as propaganda, education, and denuciation. Using the tatics not only made the regime gain complete control over Germany , but also turned the people against eachother.
Propaganda was one of the major forms of totalitarianism in order for the Nazi regime to control the people as a whole . In 1933 Goebbels was appointed by Hitler to be the Minster of Propaganda. Hitler and Goebbels recognized that the media had to be controlled by them(source 4). By taking media and turning it into a form of propaganda not only made the German people focus on the ideas and information brought to them , but also turned all hatered on Jews. Most of the propaganda brought through media focused on Jews with big noses and protrayed them to be evil . Also they used and stated Jews as scapegoats for WWI. Propaganda was the main formation of racism toward Jews, who Hitler hated, and also made them complete outcast in the country. Although this idea was Hitler's the people went along with it knowing that it was wrong , yet they never spoke against them because they were afraid of what may happen to them. Propaganda was a form of totalitarianism because it not only took over the thoughts of the people , but it change them as a person.
Next, was the tatic to use youth and there education as a time to teach them the life of the Nazi regime, and there beliefs. The Nazi's endeavoured to use education as a means of sustaining the dictatorship( Source 4). It was to the point youth only learned German , Biology , and History. The Nazi regime made boys and girls participate in a number of sporting and military activities, which decreased the learning of academic standards(source 4). This was an example of totalitarianism because it was taking control not only of the people as a hold , but the future people of Germany.
Lastly was the tatic of denuciation. This tatic truly showed how the Nazi regime made the people turn against eachother. It was to the point that if someone supported the Jews in kind of way ,that their own friends would tell on them or make them an outcast. The idea of denuciation fell right under propaganda, because the pictures and the broadcasts that the German people heard made them view Jews as they did, and even go with the flow of Nazi regime knowing what the Jews went through was cruel. Denuciation tied the knot to close up the method of Totalitarianism , which the regime wanted Germany to fall under. The people turned against there friends and family , but never once thought what was making them act as they did.
Totalitarianism through the use of propaganda, education , and denucitaions explained what it was all about COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE PEOPLE WITHIN GERMANY'S GOVERNMENT. The Nazi regime controlled the minds , functions, and actions of the German people as if they were robots. Its as if Hitler was the director of a movie and theNazi regime were the stage crew, and lastly the people were the actors except there roles were permanent. The Nazi regime went from dictatorship to totalitarianism , sliding right under the noses of the German people.
