The belief that total and absolute power should be put in the hands of the government or one ruler

According to the concept of absolutism, all government power is to be put in the hands of a sole ruler.  

In promoting the theory of absolutism, French bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet  (1627-1704), who was court preacher to King Louis XIV of France, said: "Monarchy is sacred, it is paternal, it is absolute. The royal throne is not that of a man but the throne of God himself."  Louis XIV is known in history for developing an absolutist approach to the monarchy in France.  Known as "The Sun King" because all of France's activity was to revolve around him, Louis XIV did not share his power with others.  The Estates-General, which was France's gathering of delegates from the various classes of society, was never called to meet during Louis XIV's reign.  The king's word was to be the final word on all things.

mestny [16]
The consumer goods may go to the troops instead of the citizens. For example, during World War II, citizens were encouraged to plant victory gardens- if more people grew their own vegetables, more canned goods could be given to soldiers.

The United States' policy of containment wasn't just military, it was ideological. Back then, we pointed out the differences between Soviet Communism and Communism around the world to weaken the power of its rhetoric, and additionally we appeared to be more successful and had a better standard of living than communists. Today, we can point out the difference between Islamic terrorism and moderate Islam, to degrade support for Islamic terrorism and make it defeat itself by containing enabling states (as Islamic terrorism is supported by enabling states) perhaps via economic incentives,and stopping our support of dictatorships, winning over those in danger of becoming Islamic terrorists. We also built up a system of allies with our containment policy regarding the Soviet Union, which helped isolate the Soviet Union. We can build up support among allies to support us in isolating states that are enablers of Islamic terrorism as well.
