Angered animists taking line in totalitarian ideology (9)
I believe the answer is:
stalinism
'angered animists taking' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'line in totalitarian ideology' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'totalitarian' becomes 'stain' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ideology' becomes 'ism' (I've seen this before).
'l' placed within 'stain' is 'stalin'.
'stalin'+'ism'='STALINISM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stalinism that I've seen before include "Soviet system" , "as a rule, it was awful" , "form of government" .)
