Whoops, I didn't say a word about today's totaliarist countrys if meant that.
Well there's Iraq where the muslim religion makes it all lawful:there are the kamikaze-bombers that are payed for their death in the name of Allah, there are the terrorist police, there are the Kurds(a nationalist country always hates it's deformed children) who inhaled nerve gas, there is the propaganda(Hussein says that they will surely win the war).
North Korea:There's the personality cult and denunciation.
Cuba:As the East-European post-communist countrys were called, Cuba is now a "soft dictatorship":It doesn't want to go anywhere but it wants to stay what it is.There's personality cult though.
