Totalitarianism isn’t enough to discribe it. It is only one facet.

The totalitarians aim is more power for themselves not in building Utopia on earth. It is hard to get the little guy to fight for someone else's power short of having a gun pointed at their head.

Wedding religion to fascism, that is replacing the identity based on race with identity based on religion far better describes what we face. In the name of building Utopia on earth the true believers can be motivated to do anything no matter how terrible as the ends are so great that they justify any means. You won’t get that kind of dedication from the slaves of a strictly totalitarian government.

No. You fundamentally don't understand the meanings of the terms involved.

Refer to the ice cream analogy made earlier.
