Answer:

Moder dictators typically govern their countries through totalitarian dictatorships.

Explanation:

Totalitarianism is the most modern type of dictatorial regime. In addition to repression, ideology and the leader, there is the presence of the regime in every area of society. The concept is developed in The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt. The author believes that totalitarianism needs three factors in order to develop: a mass industrial society, the persistence of a divided world and the development of modern technology. According to Arendt the distinctive elements of totalitarianism are ideology and the use of terror, and the maximum expression of the same is the lager (Nazi Germany) and the gulag (Soviet Union), where the erasure of individuality occurs through an absolute dominion on people. Examples were Stalinism in U.R.S.S. and the National Socialism of Adolf Hitler in Germany. A current example is the North Korean regime.
