Social:Mass dictatorship
From HandWiki
Mass dictatorship, also known as consensus dictatorship (German: Konsensdiktatur), is a concept developed to explain the phenomenon of a political dictatorship that rules primarily with popular support rather than by terror; it is therefore opposed to the totalitarianism theory of dictatorship.[1] Examples of consensus dictatorships cited include Nazi Germany[2] and East Germany.[3] The book Life and Death in the Third Reich by Peter Fritzsche is an example of a work that portrays Nazi Germany as a consensus dictatorship.[4]
