Also Russia is a Republic today, just throwing that out there.
Also Democracy does not necessarily equate to anarchy or mere mob rule, a constitutional democracy has rule of law built into it. Also democracy is compatible with a Republic (so is Oligarchy). For example in the United States we live under a Democratic Oligarchical Republic in which we elect millionaires to represent banks and corporations.
Need I go on about the factual errors present throughout the video?
Communism and Socialism are not forms of total government, they are economic models which some totalitarian governments have claimed to adopt.
There are definitions of Right Wing and Left Wing for those interested.
Many governments can have a constitution. A Constitution doesn't necessarily protect the rights of the people, it may in fact protect the power of the elite. Also a republic does not necessarily protect the rights of the people. Also a Republic CAN be an Oligarchy
This video is full of factual errors and should probably be taken down in order to avoid associating it with Ron Paul's campaign. It may seem tenable on the surface but even casual research reveals that this guy is profoundly ignorant on the issues he's discussing and is often at least partially wrong if not completely wrong.
The Constitution is a legal document set up to protect the interests of a wealthy minority of landowners. This documentary forwards a completely misleading view of what the Constitution actually was. Why is it that states put minimal suffrage requirements BACK IN after the Constitution was passed? It is not because the Constitution was set up in the interests of the majority. Go ahead and read some James Madison and you'll see this clearly. Furthermore, the 'spectrum' shown here is nonsense.
Lol actually it's the opposite. Hitler was socialist, and I don't think socialists are right wing are they? The most dangerous movement in the United States is the Zionist movement it controls the U.S. banking system, the mass media, and the political arena. We are at war in the Middle East because of Zionist lobbying in the government. Israel is worse than Nazi Germany right now also.
Fascist are extreme right wingers. The "Christian" military groups who support killing gays, blacks & Jews are right wing groups, not left wing. Neo-Nazis are right wing, not left wing. One characteristic of fascism is having corporations running the govt. Thats what they now do in America. The Paul family wants even less regulations. Rand Paul says "leave British Petroleum alone." Yeah, sure!
Been a while since I have seen this. Had to watch it again.
People, we need to correct the media and other people everywhere, America is a REPUBLIC. I'm so tired of hearing the other word associated with mob rule.
communism is not authoritarian in nature. the end result of a marxist or communist society is a stateless, egalitarian society. you are a brainwashed capitalist idiot who think fascism, socialism and communism are the same thing. you are probably one of those tea party protest idiots who goes around with obama joker signs
But true communism exists nowhere. Communism is the perfect system of government, but only for perfect people.
Since people are not perfect, communism cannot exist. Capitalist economic system in a Republican political system is the natural system that compensates for the facts that people are going to be people.
a when people are free to act so long as it affects no one else is the only proper definition of capitalism. In order to have a communal state, you have to PREVENT people from trading with eachother and FORCE them to give to the community. those two words are what seperates an authitarian state from a nonauthoritarian.
omg this video is right wing propaganda. who ever made it is a complete idiot who doesn't know what socialism, fascism and communism are. they probably think they synonyms for one another
@TheWatchOverer You do realize that the definition of democracy presented here is an inadequate caricature of modern democracies and that the definition of a republic is also incomplete and inadequate and that Democracy, Republic, and Oligarchy are all mutually compatible and exist in the United States right?

... um.. i guess truth scares you.
You really think Nazi and Fascist are on the right and communism social on the left
But its actualy much more complex than that
and yes, All those four have the most similarities - they are all authoritarian regimes.
