Despotism & Democracy

Producer: Encyclopaedia Britannica Films - 1946

Measures how a society ranks on a spectrum stretching from democracy to despotism. Explains how societies and nations can be measured by the degree that power is concentrated and respect for the individual is restricted. Where does your community, state and nation stand on these scales?

  • Yes, My Father once told me the fight againt good and evil is a never ending battle, It would appear the USA is losing the battle, On it's own ground, By it's own hand!

  • Notice while reading the pledge they didn't say "under god". That was added later.

  • This message is as applicable to 2012 as it was to 1946. I recommend everyone watch it all the way though.

  • @ladyda22 The kids have been intentionally dumbed down due to decreased funding for the educational system which was signed into law by conservatives.

  • @ladyda22 "Under God" was not added to the pledge of allegiance until 1954. Please do the research FIRST before embarrassing yourself in view of the world. If you're learning "history" from Glenn Beck and Fox "News," drop out of school.

  • @Copper4head

    Well said! 

  • @konopelli 1954

  • @3Gyro That's one reason the Republithugs are trying to get rid of true net neutrality...

  • @ohgoddamn Not completely: the flow of information is pretty much completely uncontrolled and unhindered in the modern USA thanks to the internet.

    You're right about the distribution of wealth, the concentration of power, and the general culture of disrespect, though.

  • @ladyda22

    They didn't "take 'under God" out.

    It wasn't IN the pledge in 1946.

    That gutless fucking worthless prick Eisenhower authorized inserting it in 1953 or 54...
