9:27 Really though, that's what he said right? The Soviet union was Totalitarian under Stalin, a charismatic (intimidation is a charisma skill) leader with a fixed world view. You may also argue the same about Lenin and Krushchev, and only after them does it become more of a one-party state rather than a one-person state. Also, after Krushchev it kinda isn't as totalitarian anymore, which still justifies his definition. I'd say Soviet union after Krushchev is authoritarian, not totalitarian

Technically if you use Louis XIV as an example of a theocracy. You could, in a roundabout and slightly tenuous way, argue that the current UK constitutional monarchy is a theocracy as the current King is also the head of the Church of England which is the established official state religion in the UK.

13:40 this is so true, and it’s something that archo-capitalists never seem to understand, If they get their way, and we end up in an ararcho-capitalist society, then sooner rather than later we will end up with brutal and oppressive feudalism based on whoever will be the first to dominate and control vital resources like water or food production and use those resources to control others

[YAH]

"Anarchies turn into feudal states" wow i actually agree, I never thought of it that far.

The US was a Confederacy and so was Canada for awhile. Fun fact that not many people seem to know that Canada was originally called the Canadian Confederation.

Anarchism was a significant force in the Spanish republic. They achieved influence through the trades unions, but also had support among the rural peasantry.

hierarchies always from whether as school age youngsters and adults. How many act only "positively, " though ... depends on how "positively" is defined.

Wendigoon did a 2hr long video explaining every government type on the political compass. I think it was far better than a 10min crash course. Were there mistakes? Probably, but it was informative.

[diegocadavid]

If you haven’t done Monsieur Z’s political compass test of every president I feel like that would be a good video for you to react to

[Grizcat-]

You should look into the channel Chat History, I just found them and I feel like it’s exactly the type of content you typically watch on the channel and he has an interesting o’nella adjacent style

Feudal - you saw that with the seigneurs and habitants of New France. The habitants had more rights than the peasants back home. The seigneurs had certain responsibilities, such as providing a mill to grind their grain. That is why the Montreal Canadians (NHL hockey) are known as the Habs when they used to have more French players.

In some confederations, an enforcing body could exist. A classic example would be the European Union.

Okay some of those I've never heard about as a definition but did see historically or in my own home country actually, like demarchy:
Of course it is only a tiniest part of how our government works but there exist so called "Bürgerräte" (citizen councils) that are a randomly selected group of citizen working together on a topic to suggest certain actions to the government.

[jasonfisher]

When the Mayflower landed in Massachusetts and the pilgrims started the Plymoth colony, They originally made one big farm that they all worked together. What kind of government would that be?

Us uses technocracy by asking the best to help fix problems

[firbolg]

Switzerland is officially called the Swiss Confederation but we are indeed a federation. We started as a confederation but evolved into a federation. And the canton (state) I live in is officially the Republic of Geneva.

Roman emperors were also granted the title of pontifex maximus, giving religious as well as secular authority to the emperor.

Type of Government is very vague. We do often simplfy a lot of governments with basic titles like Democracy, Totalitarianism, Authoritarian, Fascism, etc. but the reality is that Governments run very differently. There's no blueprint for how to establish a government "type".

A classic example would be Castro's Cuba vs Stalin's Russia vs Hitler's Germany. All ruled by one person at the top with complete power yet every single government had very different policies. And I have heard people who believed every authoritarian government is the same and every democracy is the same, but they just aren't.
