FROM TRAGEDY AND HOPE, PAGE 443:"Thus by August 1934, the Nazi movement had reached its goal-the establishment of an authoritarian state in Germany. The word used here is _authoritarian_, for, unlike the fascist regime in Italy, the Nazi regime was not totalitarian.It was not totalitarian because two members of the Quartet were not coordinated, a third member was coordinated only incompletely and, unlike Italy or Soviet Russia, the economic system was not ruled by the state but was subject to _self rule_. All this is not in accord with popular opinion about the nature of the Nazi system either at the time it was flourishing or since. Newspaper men and journalistic writers applied the term _totalitarian_ to the Nazi sytem, and the name has struck without any real analysis of the facts as they exsisted. In fact, the Nazi sytem was not totalitarian either in theory or in practice."
