Joseph Stalin and Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism is when the government controls all aspects of the citizens lives. They do this economically, politically, and socially. He lied to the people by saying that he would be taking over temporarily, meanwhile he was planning to stay dictator until he died. The five year plan was to keep him in power for five more years, until the man who could rule that country would run it. He decided that he would run it like he did until he died, because there was always a dictator in Totalitarianism. The great purge was when he took over and started abusing the people and their rights. He also provided them with almost no supplies. Stalin was an evil cruel dictator who abused the people and their ability to have freedom.
