As result of Maoism the [[Peoples Republic of China]] differs in one huge way from earlier [[totalitarian]] threats and regimes. Both the [[Third Reich]] and the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] faced only one potential armed threat to their power domestically - their respective militaries. The people had no rights, meaning the populace was disarmed. Both the [[Nazi Party]] and the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] faced a professional [[military]] establishment that consisted of [[patriotic]] officers and individuals whose first allegiance was to their country, and not to a [[political]] ideology. For this reason the Soviets formed the [[KGB]] and the Nazis formed the [[SS]], primarily for the explicit reason to compel the existing military establishment to do the will of the party. Not so in China.

It was the German military that tried to assassinate [[Hitler]] in 1944, and the [[Red Army]] always had political commissars attached to each unit to monitor the officers and dissention within the ranks, and insure that party orders were carried.
