| | Kirkpatrick's influence, particularly as foreign policy adviser and United Nations ambassador, was essential to the formation of the Reagan administration's foreign policy and her ideas came to be known as the "Kirkpatrick Doctrine." | | | Any suggestions of the indefinite stability of states labeled totalitarian among proponents of the term were largely discredited when the Soviet Union fell by the wayside. | | | They argue that governments which are often classified as totalitarian may not be as monolithic as they appear from the outside, since they may hide a political process in which several groups, such as the army, political leaders, industrialists, and others, compete for power and influence. |

| | In a totalitarian state, any accusation or complaint is almost the same as a conviction, for the objects of prosecution are not legally well-defined acts but states of mind. | | | It is fundamental in a state of freedom that every opinion is tolerated, that its expression is limited only by the penal laws of libel, slander, and such. | | | A power transforming all existence, penetrating each home, leaving nothing untouched, separates life under the totalitarian dictatorships from life in political freedom. |

| | Like previous forms of totalitarianism, the Bush administration boasts a reckless unilateralism that believes the United States can demand unquestioning support, on terms it dictates; ignores treaties and violates international law at will; invades other countries without provocation; and incarcerates persons indefinitely without charging them with a crime or allowing access to counsel. | | | The American system is evolving its own form: "inverted totalitarianism." This has no official doctrine of racism or extermination camps but, as described above, it displays similar contempt for restraints. | | | For instance, the Nazis focused upon mobilizing and unifying the society, maintaining a continuous state of war preparations and demanding enthusiastic participation from the populace. |
