极权国家有两张面孔,一是国家对社会的“控制”,二是国家对社会的“动员”。“控制”意味着权力对社会的支配、强制和奴役,“动员”意味着权威对社会的说服、刺激和激励。极权国家垄断着群众动员所需资源,这些资源的存在为极权国家的群众动员提供了条件。同时,极权国家也是动员型国家,需要不断对群众进行动员。群众动员成为极权国家对社会进行控制、创造政治认同,以及对外扩张的重要手段。极权国家的群众动员并不是一帆风顺的,实践表明,极权国家的群众动员面临三重矛盾,这些矛盾使极权国家群众动员面临困境。
Atotalitarian state has two faces-one is its control over the society,and the other is its mobilization towards the society. Control implies power’s domination,coercion and enslavement of the society while mobilization is to persuade, stimulate as well as encourage the society. The totalitarian state monopolizes the resources that necessitate and facilitate mass mobilization. Meanwhile,the totalitarian state is also a state of mobilization that needs to mobilize the mass continuously.Mass mobilization has become a significant way of the state’s social control,creation of political identity and external expansion.Mass mobilization in the totalitarian state is not always smooth whose practice manifests that it may confront triple contradictions which put mass mobilization into a dilemma.
