Governor Mario Cuomo criticizes the Reagan’s economic
policies mainly because the administration didn’t tax and spend enough. He said in his speech, "There is despair, Mr. President, in the
faces that you don't see, in the places that you don't visit, in your shining
city." Due to this speech, he became the frontunner of Democratic
party for president but declined it.
Simple. In totalitarianism, as its name suggests, the government has TOTAL control of the country. No free press, other ideology bans, a strict police/military (and probably secret police), no freedom.
