What Is the Difference?
Totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism are all forms of government. And defining different forms of government isn't as easy as it might seem.
The governments of all nations have an official form as designated in the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook. However, a nation’s own description of its form of government can often be less than objective. For example, while the former Soviet Union declared itself a democracy, its elections were not “free and fair” as only one party with state-approved candidates were represented. The USSR was more correctly classified as a socialist republic.
In addition, the boundaries between various forms of government can be fluid or poorly-defined, often with overlapping characteristics. Such is the case with totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism.

Any nation with a supreme leader elected or otherwise is not a democratic republic when they depend upon money and media to put them in office. Let the people govern themselves their wealth their property their futures. Leaders are such an ancient tribal affair.
