Explanation:

Totalitarianism is a form of government that is akin to the system of authoritarianism. In this form of government, the people have no rights as such but almost everything is under the direct control of the one single power who most clearly is the dictator. Even if governments are formed, it will all be under him and everything depends on his permission. In this type of government, a single party or person rules the whole nation, controls the society through the government, and permits few to no civil liberties.

On the other hand, democracy is one where there are greater rights and freedom for the people. The citizens participate in forming the government, and the government in turn works for them, protecting them and also providing them with rights and liberties. And there are many leaders and parties in this type of government, where anyone and everyone is allowed the freedom to express themselves.
