Introduction
In Socialistic States, government controlls peoples lifes, ideology and economic, without any restriction. Thats why socialism serve as a veil for implementing totalitarian regimes.
In North Korea, government limits the freedoms of citizens, controlling them digital comunications. North Koreans are prohibited to any oposittion towards government, and are threatened in economic and social violent ways by ministry of public security lead by Kim Jong-Un.
"Those who choose not to follow the prescribed North Korean lifestyle face grave consequences if they are caught. The WPK controls all law enforcement agencies and judicial systems. The police can monitor all digital communications, including phone calls and text messages, and a complex surveillance network lets them know the whereabouts of any citizen at any time."

In North Korea we can see the totalitarian government power with the Kim Dinasty, this family. This family has lead North Korea since 1948 untill present.
"The Kim dynasty has led North Korea from 1948 until today, with three successive supreme leaders: Kim Il-sung (1948-1994), Kim Jong-il (1994-2011), and Kim Jong-un (2011-present)"

From what we have seen before, North Koreans have a very harsh lifestyle, making them want to scape. A lot of north Koreans tried to scape, some ones acomplish it but others not. The ones that didnt acomplish it, face a reeducation and time in the labour camps.
"Most refugees first flee to China, where some North Koreans are permitted to go for short-term business trips, but the Chinese police often work with North Korea to capture defectors. If you are caught and brought back to North Korea, you and your whole family will face “reeducation” and time in the labor camps, where about 40% of people die from malnutrition."

Body Paragraph 1
Totalitarianism is a form of government that permits no individual freedom and seeks to control all aspects of an individual
World War 2 expand the totalitarian ideology. Totalitarianism was a synonimous of an opressive single party government, principally used by Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, China and North Korea.
"By the beginning of World War II, totalitarian had become synonymous with absolute and oppressive single-party government. Other modern examples of totalitarian states include the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, the People’s Republic of China under Mao Zedong, and North Korea under the Kim dynasty."

Totalitarianism attempts to control the individuals life through coercion and repression. This ideology was used by Maruyan (india), Qin dinasty (China), Nazi Germany and Soviet Union.
"Historical examples of such centralized totalitarian rule include the Mauryan dynasty of India (c. 321–c. 185 BCE), the Qin dynasty of China (221–207 BCE), and the reign of Zulu chief Shaka (c. 1816–28). Nazi Germany (1933–45) and the Soviet Union during the Stalin era (1924–53) were the first examples of decentralized or popular totalitarianism, in which the state achieved overwhelming popular support for its leadership."

In totalitarianism, traditions and ideology of people are supressed, because government wants to control people. Making all of them machines, having the same traditions and ideology, without being able to have an own thinking.
"Under totalitarian rule, traditional social institutions and organizations are discouraged and suppressed. Thus, the social fabric is weakened and people become more amenable to absorption into a single, unified movement. Participation in approved public organizations is at first encouraged and then required. Old religious and social ties are supplanted by artificial ties to the state and its ideology. As pluralism and individualism diminish, most of the people embrace the totalitarian state’s ideology. The infinite diversity among individuals blurs, replaced by a mass conformity (or at least acquiescence) to the beliefs and behaviour sanctioned by the state."

Body Paragraph 2
socialism can act as an veil towards a totalitarist government, by manipulating society and making the -citizens think that they are supporting an equal and free-er type of government.
The reality ofa totalitarian government is that people is controled in all aspects. They need to follow very strict rules, their leader is a dictator and human rights arent protected in totalitarian regimes. Also the leader choose who is going to help him run the government. (this can show us that government controls everything without any limitation)
"Totalitarian countries are usually ruled by a single very powerful leader known as a dictator. Sometimes the people in the country might call their leader “Father.” This leader gets to decide who else will help him run the government — usually he picks out people who he thinks are the most loyal."

Finally we can see that totalitarism and socialism controls people, if they want to scape or they are against the rules, people will be punished by being sentenced to death, hard work and pricion camps.
"You might think everyone who lives in these countries would leave, but they do not. They do not leave because the government will punish anyone who tries to flee. Anyone who tries to speak out against the rules created by the government is also punished — they might be sent to a prison camp and forced to work, or they might even be put to death. This creates fear amongst the people and discourages anyone from doing anything that could be seen as disrespecting government. Some people don’t even realize how bad things are in their country."

A totalitarian government influence people to talk about what greatful is their country. People in totalitarian regimes are scared to talk bad of their country in public, and they are influenced to think all is awesome and is equal, paying all servises of people, with their taxes. (this is not real, government wants people to think this happens but it a farce)
"When you finally go home, you are tired, but you don’t tell anyone. You don’t want anyone to think you are complaining. At home, you watch television, and the show that night is a recording of a ceremony that took place when the Supreme Leader visited a village. Your mother gets very excited to hear him speak about how your country is the best in the world. You go to sleep after eating a simple meal provided by the government."

In conclusion government can control people without any restriction. The dictator of the totalitarian regime controls the government, puting the people he wnts in power. This dont let people escape from the totalitarian regimes.
Totalitarian regimes force people to do whatever the government says by puting very strict rules that need to be fullfiled.
