Fascism is a political system where the nation or the race of people in the nation are more important than the individual. In fascist states, individual freedoms are of little consequence when compared to the overall goal of protecting or furthering "the whole." Totalitarianism is the presence of totalitarian rule, or Dictatorship.

The two are not mutually exclusive -- e.g., a fascist state is often ruled by a totalitarian leader. However, a totalitarian state does not necessarily have to be fascist (e.g., Nazi Germany. . . [although some would argue that nazism is a form of fascism, but that's for another discussion]).
