It is quite possible to find examples of totalitarianism from antiquity. However, they mostly emerged in the 20th century. It was then that the term was coined within the political struggle and later it was assimilated by the university academy.
Philosophers such as Jacques Maritain, Max Horkheimer or Hanna Arendt devoted part of their years of study to him, tracing him in both capitalist and socialist regimes.
The first time the term «totalitarianism» was used, it was not in the same sense that we use it today. This is how the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini called his fascist doctrine, whose political slogan was «Everything in the State, everything for the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.»
