Domenic Losurdo has a good article about it: Towards a Critique of the Category of Totalitarianism. A pdf is not too hard to find I also seem to recall a decent article in New Left Review or its blog about some of this. it mentions Pinochet specifically. Here it is: https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/rule-by-target seems to be reviewing a book I should probably get around to reading

AnimeIsTrash posted:Maybe there is a better thread for but how did the terms "authoritarianism" and "totalitarianism" come to be ascribed as characteristics of communism? totalitarianism is a hannah arendt creation authoritarianism i think comes from someone engels argued with, hence "have any of these gentlemen seen a revolution?" e: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm quote:Why do the anti-authoritarians not confine themselves to crying out against political authority, the state? All Socialists are agreed that the political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution, that is, that public functions will lose their political character and will be transformed into the simple administrative functions of watching over the true interests of society. But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?
