*'''Brzezinski''' and '''Friedrich''' identify characteristics of a totalitarian regime; a total ideology, a single mass party, a terroristic secret police, a monopoly o f mass communication, all instruments to wage combat are in the control o f t h e same hands, and a centrally directed planned economy. Brzezinski and Friedrich state that totalitarian dictatorships emerge after the seizure of power by the leaders o f 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 t he people and often uses a real or imaginary enemy to create a threat so the people rally around him.
