Main argument:
Explanation:
Linz provides a definition of totalitarian regimes, and authoritarian regimes - broadly classifying them under the rubric of non-democratic regimes.
Authoritarian regimes -
- Limited pluralism
- Distinct mentality (non-ideological),
- No extensive/intensive political mobilization
- Leader (or small group) exercises power within ill-defined limits
Totalitarian regimes:
- Monistic not monolithic power
- exclusive, autonomous, and intellectually elaborate ideology
- citizen participation/mobilization is encouraged
