Totalitarianism is patriotism institutionalized.

Summary

This quote suggests that totalitarianism takes the idea of patriotism to an extreme level by turning it into an institutionalized system of government control. It implies that in a totalitarian regime, the concept of loyalty to one's country is exploited and manipulated by those in power to maintain absolute authority and suppress any form of dissent. The quote highlights how patriotism, which can be a positive and noble sentiment, can be perverted and abused when taken to an extreme where citizens' freedoms and rights are sacrificed for the sake of a fanatical loyalty to the state.
