Lay out the basic forms of government and what they mean. Around the 9 minute mark is where it pretty much sums up where America is right now.
I found this video to be short and to the point!

We are taught so much in our school days that we are not allowed to question if this information is honest or not. You are told this is how it is. And then you are to take a test upon the given information.

I hope this short video can help you understand better Forms of government and where it is taking us today.

  • This excerpt from "Overview of America" is one of the best videos produced by The John Birch Society.

  • @1Bircher You got it man!! Overview of America is very insightful! Thanks for posting! :D

  • I don't get xSANJITx's understanding from watching this. My take is that when an anarchy exists (no authority) a new Dominant power will always emerge to fill the vacuum. They will become the new authority with no one to oppose them. Anarchists aren't necessarily violent. What we all want is a Republic . The current government is an oligarchy and is treasonous by obeying a foreign power (Fed Reserve, IMF) and tearing down the Constitution. Under Common Law NO legislated acts apply to YOU

  • Your right man!! Thanks alot for saying this and supporting my stance!!

    You have very good knowledge about what you are talking about here!

    You know what you are talking about! +1

  • He doesn't understand that not all Communism is authoritarian. He classifies Anarchists as terrorists and says we're about murder. Shows what he knows. Anarchism is opposed to violence. He thinks that the term Anarchism is simply advocacy of anarchy. It isn't. Anarchism is essentially a realization that freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, but socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

  • Thanks for your input xSanjit! I found this video to be more ground work for those with higher understanding of how all this works.. when you are right in your statement.. Yet the video points out, those who lead Anarchy groups, tend to turn into oligarchy.. Such as, how do you beat the bully, without turning into the bully when power is transfered.. Age old question.. I will send you a mail, so we can talk deeper about this..

    Later!

  • 37 people are completely ignorant about forms of government and history

  • Pfwah

    Dictatorship and monarchy exists.

    The one can have power over the group, instead of the group having power over the one, or the group may not be necessary, a small time dictator could by killing all opposition rule a small time town.

  • @xSANJITx Yeah I know right? I also like how he separates Oligarchy from Republic and pretends they can't overlap, then pretends that all forms of democracy are mob rule where you could just vote to have your neighbor killed if you didn't like him. The author of this video is either a very clever troll, or a complete and total idiot.

  • Fun fact.

    Iran is a Theocratic Oligarchical Democratic Republic with a Dictator.

    Practically everything in this video is completely wrong, partially wrong, or only half true.

  • ..."Anarchy groups"? I'm an Anarchist. What's said in that video is a perversion of our philosophy, probably because the narrator doesn't ACTUALLY know what Anarchism is. Anarchist CAN'T form oligarchies, because we're anti-state. It's logically impossible.
