Anti-totalitarianism is a political philosophy that opposes totalitarian regimes, which seek to control all aspects of public and private life. It emphasizes individual freedoms, democratic governance, and the rule of law, advocating for a society where citizens have the right to express their opinions and participate in decision-making processes. This ideology often draws on historical examples, such as the resistance against Nazi Germany and Stalinist Soviet Union, highlighting the dangers of absolute power. Anti-totalitarianism promotes pluralism, encouraging diverse viewpoints and protecting human rights to prevent the rise of oppressive governments.
