@@IllustratetoEducate This is important to understand not just in history such as interwar period, WWII, to even the Cold War where you have the capitalist, Democratic United States to the communist, Authoritarian Soviet Union as two major superpowers. But also, today as well, especially how some people confuse the terms like fascist, socialist, communist, and marxist. Even though, they’re different ideologies from one another, especially Nazism and Communism. They’re not the same thing. So, I would like to see that. Thank you so much.
@@IllustratetoEducateso grateful for your channel. I’ve been wanting to understand our Government more. Wanting to be more informed and that you do, inform.
I am Chinese, and China's history is a continuous succession of dynasties. However, the main reason for the downfall of each dynasty has generally started with capitalists acquiring land from farmers. With a large amount of land, capitalists even formed powerful private armies and began to infiltrate politics. Eventually, collusion between government officials and capitalists led to the corruption of the dynasty, causing unbearable suffering for the people and ultimately overthrowing the dynasty. In modern China, land is stipulated to be owned by the state, and the state decides how the land is used, with no one able to resist. It is unthinkable for capitalists to control the central government. There is no multi-party competition; only one party represents China. Based on its own historical experience, China believes that if private rights are not well controlled, the country will once again face demise. Therefore, China considers public rights equally important, which is different from the strong emphasis on democracy in the West. So when we observe Western elections and see various capitalists donating money to candidates, it feels like watching a show. However, our system is considered authoritarian by the Western world, haha. But the government believes that we cannot simply adopt Western systems; instead, we selectively learn from them and combine them with our own historical experiences. This essentially sums up the current situation.
These are not types of democracy. They are sets of arrangements that can be packaged together to create different types of democracy. This presentation also displays a significant western bias in not even mentioning Chinese Democracy. Like it or not, political scientists in this country with 20% of the worlds population consider democracy to be a central feature of the Chinese Political System and they have just as much right as the west does to define the term in anyway that makes sense to them.
Excellent video. The US was the first on implementing the presidencialist system. However, is not a democracy but a Republic. Most of the types of democracy can be seems in the US as well.
We are a constitutional republic that is run as a representative democracy. The Presidential democracy isn’t quite what we have as Congress actually has more power than the President.

Direct Democracy is also known as True Democracy... all the other types are plutocrat machina... also, the ancient Greeks called "representation" a trick of tyranny.
Make a video on direct democracy
Can you talk about the terms like Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism, & Dictatorship?
Yeah I need to do those. They’ve been on my list for a good while and I think those would be excellent. 👍🏼

Democracy, people voting only for their own self interest.

Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb are deciding whats for dinner.
American democracy is where sheep vote for which wolf they think is less likely to eat them specifically.
Exactly
I don't understand
@@JELJI study more and research more and u will know
Autocracy is one wolf deciding for two lambs what’s for dinner
Where is conservative democracy?
I guess it didn’t make the cut. Sorry about that. :(
