The case of the former Soviet Union supports Kerr et al.’s (1960) claim that:
totalitarian regimes are incompatible with the requirements of advanced industrial technology
democratic governments serve the interests of a ruling elite
advanced industrial technology strengthens the power of totalitarian regimes
communist societies disperse power between various political parties
totalitarian regimes are incompatible with the requirements of advanced industrial technology
Kerr . argued that totalitarian regimes cannot persist in advanced industrial societies, because the technologies therein are only compatible with a liberal democracy, industrial development and economic growth. This is illustrated by the case of the Soviet Union, where Stalin’s successors Khrushchev and Brezhnev dismantled some of his centralized regimes, such as that of the economy, and weakened the Communist Party’s state power. Gorbachev’s reforms in the 1980 included perestroika (restructuring society by abandoning centralized planning and administration) and glasnost (openness and democracy in the political decision-making process). 835-836
