Understanding Human Politics

"Rules for Rulers" breaks down the differences between Democracies and Dictatorships and the reasons they exist or die. Very well done. Highly recommend...and it's a cartoon...so that's, y'know, fun ~

Having just discovered the channel....can't wait to binge through each lesson.

It's a particularly engaging way of teaching and making the connections.

It ain't pretty, it ain't clean, it just is. Best to understand it on its own terms.

Seems just as necessary as having winning policy.

I agree: it ain't pretty, it ain't clean, it just is. Spot on ~
