Later in the 1980s, Bracher defined totalitarianism as any state system that featured absolute ideology that allowed no rivals; a mass movement that was hierarchically organized and under state control; control of the media; and state control of the economy.
后来在1980年代，布拉赫定义极权主义是任何不允许对手的具有绝对的意识形态特征的政权体系；有层级分明的组织并处于政权掌控之下的一个大规模运动；对媒体的控制；以及对经济的国家控制。
