What does this sub think about β€œInverted Totalitarianism?”

Basically the title, the Wikipedia article is quite hilarious as it just sounds like generic hits blunt β€œDemocracy, is like fascism, man! They’re lying to you!”

I genuinely don’t understand it perhaps someone can explain it to me.

This part is just particularly fucking awful and wrong lmao

> Social policy – While Nazism made life uncertain for the wealthy and privileged and had a social policy for the working class, inverted totalitarianism exploits the poor by reducing health and social programs and weakening working conditions.[27]

This is just logically inconsistent

>The people – While the classical totalitarian regimes aimed at the constant political mobilization of the populace, inverted totalitarianism aims for the mass of the populace to be in a persistent state of political apathy. The only type of political activity expected or desired from the citizenry is voting. Low electoral turnouts are favorably received as an indication that the bulk of the populace has given up hope that the government will ever significantly help them.[25]

Anyway I was wondering if anyone has come across this term in their studies and what the field consensus on it is.
