Is there such a thing as “economic totalitarianism”?

This is such a typical example of lumping all political ideology’s into one big pot, and then whipping up some hyperbole to put on the top of the whole mess.

This is the sort of talk that went on in the 50’s. If it wasn’t the United States, it was communism. Even 1984 was used to “educate” people to the horrors of communism, when the book had nothing to do with communism. It was all about Stalinism (totalitarianism).

Bottom line is there is a noted difference between socialism, fascism and totalitarianism and you can’t make one into the other.
