Abstract
We have already shown that ideocracies need not but can be totalitarian regimes. We thus have to differentiate between totalitarianism and mature ideocracies as subspecies. What are then mature ideocracies? In a mature ideocracy, the goals of the ideological movement have been broadly reached, whereas this is not true for a totalitarian regime.
