Quedan excluidas por igual la anarquía, en que el individuo predomina hasta hacer imposible la existencia de la sociedad y del Estado, y el absolutismo y la estatolatría, en que el Estado absorbe los derechos del individuo hasta anularlos.”

Thanks, I think I'm going to go with the neologism, as the Spanish word doesn't technically 'exist' either!!

TOTALITARIANISM - Refers to systems of government not representative in fact, characterized by the existence of a single political party, organized on a dictatorial basis, with so close an identity between such party and its policies and the governmental policies of the country in which it exists, that the party and the government constitute an indistinguishable unit, and the forcible suppression of opposition to such party.

DESPOTISM
... is government by a singular authority - either a single person or tightly knit group - which rules with absolute power. The word implies tyrannical rule; it suggests a form of government which exercises exacting and near-absolute control over all of its citizens.

STATISM
I would not used this one, because the term is ambiguous, but here is the definition anyway. You make your own mind:

Statism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Statism describes any social or political system in which state intervention plays a major role. It is also used to describe any central government that implements economic planning, or policy.

This term is often used polemically and provocatively, by opponents of state intervention, to argue that the legitimate powers of another element of society have been illegitimately absorbed by the state. Often, the charge of \"statism\" is an allegation that the private interests of the single individual are being curtailed in favor of the public interests of the many. Opponents of statism argue that such an action restricts \"individual freedom\", while supporters of statism argue that it ultimately benefits the individual himself, since the \"public good\" involves the \"personal good\" of the maximum number of individuals.
