“What does totalitarianism mean? Ludwig von Mises in 1919 described it as the ideology that admits no limits on the power and competence of the state. There is no aspect of life that is conceptually beyond the reach of the political sphere. That is to say, the state is potentially or actually master of the totality of society. Each side in the great ideological divide of our time admits some limits of state power. Working together, however, each giving what the other wants in a great political exchange, we might have that real thing: a total state.”
