Totalitarian dictatorships emerge after the seizure of power by the leaders of a movement who have developed support for '''an ideology'''. The point when the government becomes totalitarian is when the leadership uses open and legal violence to maintain its control. The dictator demands '''unanimous devotion''' from the people and often uses a real or imaginary enemy to create a threat so the people rally around him.<ref>Totalitarian Dictatorship and Autocracy by Carl Joachim Friedrich & Zbigniew Brzezinski </ref>}} |

Seizing this opportunity, the Truman administration sought to "keep Tito afloat" by giving him military and economic aid. <ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=-Xkv7ym8hDYC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Keeping+Tito+Afloat:+The+United+States,+Yugoslavia,+and+the+Cold+War&client=safari&cd=1#v=snippet&q=%20tito%20trade%20papers%20four%20hundred%20thousand&f=false Keeping Tito Afloat] by Lorraine M.

People could obtain so much free or for less than the market price (e.g. apartments) that they could be obtain without work. All this made the settling of accounts in the 1980s and in the post-socialist age more difficult. | + | *'''Totalitarian and Authoritarian Regimes in Europe''' by Jerzy W.

− | *In Tito’s system no interest or ideas could be expressed in a truly democratic way. This did most harm where feelings of ethnic identity were concerned because their suppression led to growth of extreme nationalism. Furthermore, the economic failure of Tito’s system, most clearly expressed in the protracted crisis of the 1980s, left people who even if they were not poor, were disillusioned and open to manipulation by demagogues. Finally Tito’s practical solutions ensured that he would retain unlimited power during his life time, but foreshadowed the problems would come after his death. <ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=pSxJdE4MYo4C&pg=PA187&dq=Ivo+Goldstein++Tito&hl=en&ei=ighBTLC6M8Srcb_9uaQP&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=the%20economic%20failure%20of%20Tito’s%20system&f=false Croatia: A History] by Ivo Goldstein</ref>}} | + | * '''Governing by Committee''': Collegial Leadership in Advanced Societies by Thomas A.
