Whoops!

There it is:

Hannah Arendt describes totalitarianism as a system of total domination
based on a combination of propaganda and terror. She bases it primarily on
a policy of keeping the population off balance by systematically arresting
and executing members that it decides are "objectively guilty" because of
their religion, their economic status, or other arbitrarily selected criteria. She
draws a distinction between merely authoritarian and totalitariam regimes
based on the arbitrariness of the selection process of its victims. The victims
in totalitarian regimes bear no relationship to concerns of security; rather
they are based upon some such ideological foundation as race or social
status.

"Random terror" (if I recall correctly) is what characterizes the totals.

Amn't I being nice?<ggg>
