Military/Armed Forces:
We would want this to be seized immediately because it would let us have complete control of the army so that they would not have the chance to overthrow us. It would provide the amenities of having the ability to declare war and the power to control any current wars.

Elementary/High Schools:
We need to seize the education programs immediately because we must be able to start brainwashing the students who will eventually carry on our ruling. However, such actions may cause the parents to rebel against our society.

Police Departments:
If the police departments are not seized right away, they will try to control what we are doing. By having power over them, we can conduct laws and regulations in our manner, which will be to our benefit when becoming a totalitarian society.

Hospitals/Doctors:
Seizing the hospitals and doctors right away would let us use them to our advantage. Also, we will gain power over all the families who have their family members or friends in the hospitals because they will listen to us to keep their loved ones alive.

Movie/TV/Radio Industry:
Quickly seizing the movie, TV, and radio industries would not give them enough time to bad-mouth our ways. And once we have control, we can use them to promote our ways.

Government Agencies(CIA,FBI, etc.):
Without these agencies, it makes it very hard for the country to go against what we are trying to establish. Furthermore, when we do have control, we will be able to use them for Cobra operations and to aid us when we are taking over the country.

Oil/Gas Companies:
By seizing the oil and gas companies, no one would be able to travel anywhere if we do not offer gas and oil for sale. Also, when we do choose to sell them, we can raise prices to make more money to help establish our society. However, if we are receiving the oil and gas from other countries, they may choose to cut off our connections because of the way our society has chosen to rule.

Worker's Unions:
The worker's unions will work with the government a lot of times if the benefits are on their end. By seizing them, we will hopefully change their opinions by rewarding them with better benefits. Their changed opinions will help us seize complete control of the country.

Banking Industry:
By having complete control of the banking industry, we will be able to control who gets loans. Also, we can take loans for war and other purposes without having to deal with the banks because they will be under our control.

Judicial System:
When the judicial system is seized, our society will be able to have any court cases to be ruled in our favor. Moreover, we will be able to punish using the courts, which will show people that we have the ultimate control.

A totalitarian government could not exist in America because people are very independent in our country and strongly believe in the freedom of rights. A totalitarian government is the total opposite of freedom. A free society plagued with crime, poverty and threats for attack is better than living in a society where everything is controlled. That is the reason why there are laws and jails. When a country is free of all the above, there is a certain price for it, which is their freedom and the ability to make their own decisions. In order to have a successful totalitarian government, a figurehead must exist. If you do not have a inspiring leader to follow and admire, things will not fall into place. For example, Adolf Hitler was by far one of the greatest leaders; his speeches touched everybody who listened to him. He was the leader who everyone listened and looked up to. Although he was the worst strategical leader, people followed him because he knew how to satisfy the have-nots of the society.
