What is another word for totalitarianism?

Probably not the name of an ancient dictator, because totalitarianism is fairly modern. Tons of ancient rulers were big on you following their rules (especially the tax ones), but having to follow their ideologies is actually pretty new. But, things it get confused with are authoritarianism and absolutism. And many English names of forms of government have Greek roots, so maybe that’s the Greek part?

Despotism?

No and no, but thanks folks for your attention, I will try to help more but as I said its a brain fart.

Im 100% sure that its a persons name and Im 100% sure that its a proper English word to describe a kind of facism/totalitarianism…....

As I type, I Got IT…

DRACONIAN !

@Boogabooga1 Cool! Glad you found it! Just fyi, though, Draconian (just Draconian, it isn’t an “ism”, by which I mean isn’t a doctrine like absolutism or feminism or existentialism) really is more of a pejorative way to say that the laws are unfairly harsh and cruel than synonymous with totalitarianism.

Thank goodness. I was worried you were gonna say Caesarean.

Caesarism?

Sure, @marinelife. I put ceasarism on my salad all the time.

@wundayatta Caesarism: Definition of CAESARISM

From Merriam Webster

Man, @marinelife. You sure know how to make a man’s salad turn to dust in his mouth.

Damnit! Out, out damn spot!

I’m gonna go burn every Merriam Webster on the planet. That’ll show ‘em!

I tried to explain to a co-worker that Cesaereans started when Brutus stabbed Caesar, and pulled a baby out of him.
My co-worker almost bit on that one.
