He doesn`t seem to understand the left and right axis. What he is talking about it the "up-down"-axis which is about how big the government should be. The left-right-axis is generally considered to be about how conservative you are. Of course there is no way of actually measuring ones political views by numbers or scales without having to add fixes definition that everyone can agree one. Using directions are not official terms in anyways, it`s just a way of simplifying so other can understand a person political view without having to repeat the same crap over and over.

Nor does he seem to understand what dictatorship is. It means that there is one who is the supreme ruler who`s command cannot be disobeyed. He has authority over everyone and everything. He doesn`t have to be in charge of every decision made by the government. It can be explained by simply putting a value on each vote, in a dictatorship every one`s vote is worth 1, expect for the dictator who`s vote is worth equal to the number of other voters plus one. That way even if everyone is against him he always wins if there is vote.

I think Autocracy(self-ruler) is more accurate for describing a one ruler system of government and a dictatorship describes is that within the dictator has unrestricted power by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state, then even better is Totalitarianism where the ideology of the state had influence, if not power, over most of its citizens usually by terror tactics.

Still not a bad vid considering.

^No it`s certainly not a bad video, it`s just some minor flaws.

Good vid. I also want to point out, that he clearly understands the left-right descriptions of goverment. He`s using the original meanings, while people in the US perceive left-right in a different way, because we already agree on most of the basic concepts ie. capitalism.

This video is garbage. It states up front that it`s biased when it says "The proper role of government." Who knows what the proper role is? What does proper here even mean?

It presupposes the nature of man when anarchy is explained. Then they take several historical examples and assert that these examples are simply a matter of course.

The description of democracy is too basic. In our own government, we have instances of democracy in the House where a majority is defined by 2\3, not a simple majority, which is in place to protect the minority while discouraging things such as filibusters.

I could go on, but I`ll forgo and instead just firmly assert that this video is overly simplistic and misleading(garbage).

Max_Power: Of course the video is biased. He is trying to make a point about the superiority of a Republic form of government. Bias does not necessarily mean "wrong." So claiming that somebody has a bias is merely pointing out that they have an opinion of something, which is not usually useful. It`s about as useful as saying "that`s just what you think." (The correct response to that statement is "Of course that`s what I think, that`s why I said it!")
