Video at link explaining the different forms of government and why we are a Republic and not a Democracy.

Excellent video for homeschoolers to use during school.
I love this video. It should be required viewing for everyone.
Required by the government? the majority? LOL! :)
It should definitely be required viewing for any elected official. Davy Crockett’s “Not Yours to Give” should be required reading as well.
I thought these were a good desription of what we are:
Kleptocracy: term applied to a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats), via the embezzlement of state funds at the expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service.
Plutochracy: rule by the wealthy, or power provided by wealth.
Ochlocracy:is government by mob or a mass of people, or the intimidation of constitutional authorities.
Kritocracy:a government ruled by judges.
Logocracy: is the rule of, or government by, words.
Videocracy: is the power of the image over society.
great post .
I like the way that the video includes all rule by a few under oligarchy including monarchy. It also explains that anarchy and democracy are both just temporary states leading to oligarchy. Although our constitution defines us as a republic, I am afraid we are well into a democracy and on the way to an oligarchy. Prayers for our nation.
Fantastic find.
Thanks! My kids enjoyed it as well. It can speak to many age ranges. Maybe even politicians can understand it!

This is a great vid and has been posted before.
Not to steal your thunder, but here is another good one.
The Philosophy of Liberty:

In eight minutes, you’ll understand liberty.
I believe the video should be shown at the end of Jr. High School, at the begining of High School and at the end of High School. It should be embedded in the minds of our children. But, saddly, it won’t be with the education system we have today.
Bookmark. Thanks for posting.
I knew it had been posted before but worth a repost. Don’t apologize. All good resources welcome!
Very good video. The only problem I see with it as a Christian is that I belong to God and He has made me a steward of my life/time/possessions.

My kids are 10 and 8 and they understood it perfectly. Maybe it should be shown at the end of elementary, beginning or jr high and so on.
That’s very true. But you did find God using your own free will! And subsequently you made the choice to give your life to Him using the same.
I think that’s one of the great things about the philosophy of Liberty is that it lets you follow your own instincts and beleifs.
We certainly are on the way to an oligarchy. What happened in Rome is exactly where we are going now.
