Autocracy is similar to Totalitarianisim but different in many ways. Sulla was an Autocrat and so was Augustus Caesar, but they were not Totalitarian. I don't consider the USSR to be a "True" communisim and don't beleive there has ever been a true communist government on this planet. Communisim and Meritocracy suffer from the same problem of being thought up of by idealist people. Meritocracy doesn't work and quickly becomes Plutocracy, and Communisim is highly vulnerable to corrupiton.
