Political Theory Explained in Ten Minutes

This is a great video which explains political theory in about 10 minutes. It does make it sound as if only the American republican system works under the rule of law, even though the American system builds on the English system of parliamentary democracy and common law. But if you ignore that quirk and realize that what is said about America actually is true of the entire Anglo-Saxon political tradition dating back to the Middle Ages and embodied brilliantly in the American constitution, the main point is totally valid.

The old communist propaganda about Fascism being on the right side of the political spectrum is rightly demolished and the truth about the political spectrum is explained very simply and compellingly.
