@mistertakeda That said, the above model is overly simplistic as well. But given the lack of clarification of the rating system in the video, and the deceptive use of the terms right and left, I felt it was a much more subtle and preferable model for the purpose of comparison.
Strong laws existing to support the rights of the individual are a key tenant of what is called Liberalism in political philosophy. There is strong debate over how to go about this.
@mistertakeda A collectivist approach to property can exist in a libertine environment, for example. This is the ultimate goal of Communism, and is the focus of leftist Anarchism.
Likewise, extreme rightism under this more complex model would encompass a wide range of governments all sharing extreme private ownership laws, but not the same means of control.
You can see how this video painfully omits these details, as well as how it can be used to discredit collectivist movements.
There is more than one factor to take into account when labeling government. A popular model uses a right-left axiom and a libertarian-authoritarian axiom. In this model, there are quite a few differences between the governments listed above.
The most noteworthy, and questionable, part of this video is the omittance of the true right-left axiom, in favor of a misleading libertarian-authoritarian axiom posing as the former metric to discredit leftism.

And republics require law makers. :P

This is terribly inaccurate, even hateful.
