Abstract

The purpose of the article is to relate the totalitarian concept of the German Jewish author Hannah Arendt, raised in her work Totalitarian Origins, published in 1951 and which becomes valid in the events given and accentuated in recent years in Venezuela within the framework of a reality that is visible to the entire world. This relationship describes the submissions that lead to violence in which human life is disfigured and threaten the recognition of the dignity of all members of a society. And that through acts of force, they subject populations, causing irreparable damage to the human condition, through events that have caused tragedy in the life of man, leaving him alone, due to violence that denies him social participation.
