Question Statement :

Totalitarianism is not always operated by diktat. It can be insinuated by suggestion and replication. Dissent does not have to be banned if it is countered by orchestrated mass promo rallies and hypnotizing oratory. Despotic establishments do not need to turn Hitlerian; all they need to do is to let the Reich chemistry work. Self-regulation and self-censorship will click in. Then any dissident who wants to retain his intellectual liberty will find himself thwarted by the general drift of society rather than by active persecution.

Totalitarianism is generally operated by undermining freedom of expression through active persecution and censorship.
Hypnotizing oratory and promo rallies can effectively counter dissent and lead to persecution of the masses.
Self-regulation and self-censorship in societies stifle freedom of expression.
Intellectual liberty does not have to be repressed by authority if there are self-appointed vigilantes to bully it into silence.
