User blog:Reximus55/Government Series - Introduction

After my last blog post, I feel confident that I made some eyebrows raise. Now, whether this was a good thing or bad thing, that is up for debate.

Currently, however, I have fallen in love with anarcho-capitalism. I was going to make a blog-series dedicated to the principles of Libertarianism (from Voluntaryism to Anarcho-Capitalism) but then decided I could do a much larger and over-arching series on types of government.

Now, I know Scraw has done something really similar, but stopped after only 2 posts. I intend to carry this on for a little while.

I also plan to be as un-biased as I can be, and I would love to hear your feedback. Let the discussion begin!

Types of Government
The average definition of types of government is generally divided into 5 primary types of government. They are: Essentially, however, the types of government boil down to Oligarchies and Republics. I will go into the reasons why in my upcoming blogs.
 * 1) Autocracy
 * 2) Oligarchy
 * 3) Democracy
 * 4) Republic
 * 5) Anarchy

Types of Freedom
Typically, in defining the form of government, two or three variables are looked at. These are: This makes it really hard to determine how to position fascism, communism, and republicanism, because each type of system can be placed on the extreme right or the extreme left, due to how it is measured.
 * Economic Freedom
 * Personal Freedom
 * Political Freedom

Basic Differences
Now, in order to fully submerge us into the following comparisons, we need to develop a general understanding of how each of the five systems tend to work.

Note the emphasis on tend. Not all forms of anarchy are the same, and not all forms of autocracy are the same. For the purpose of this blog post, I am going to consider Constitutional Monarchies to be forms of Republics.

Conclusion
In conclusion, I would: A few fun images, which are not meant to be un-biased. Thank You,
