Hannah Arendt approaches various political ideologies in terms of “totalitarianism“.

Contemporary scholars of fascism since the 1990s prefer finer-grained assessments of what distinguishes fascism from other forms of ideology (such as Stalinism, Nazism, etc.).

Arendt’s phenomenological insights on the “lived experience” of fascism in terms of a “totalitarian” mindset and world-view are still deeply helpful as part of the discussion.
