Every Political Ideology Explained in 8 Minutes 

You know it’s extremly refreshing to see someone point out the difference between capitalism, corporatism, and corpratacracy

No sponsors, no intros, just straight to the point, simple and quick. If only more videos were like this.

I think we can all agree that almost all of these ideologies' followers never actually do what they're defined, rather just hold the titles

For all of the uneducated people getting mad in the comments over the liberalism section here is an explanation, in north America what we call "liberalism" has basically nothing to do with the actual historical definition of liberalism. In North America the term liberalism really just means social democracy with a strong emphasis on progressivism, an American "liberal" would support high taxation, welfare, limited gun ownership, and suppression of "hate" speech amongst other things, but actual liberalism is basically the complete opposite of that, classical liberals are against unnecessary taxation, support strong gun and property rights, absolute free speech, and limited government in general. "Hey that kind of sounds like conservatism" While classical liberalism does share a lot of ideas with what north Americans call "conservatism" it is still a completely separate ideology, classical liberals support the autonomy of the body as they see it as the first line of private property so they fully support the right to abortion, classical liberals support absolute free speech unlike conservatives or progressives who only support free speech when it's inline with their beliefs, classical liberals support a very secular government, support lazies-fare capitalism (which basically just means capitalism with almost 0 governmental regulation), and as said before in favor of a small government in general, unlike conservatives who do support small government intervention in the economy, but are in favor of government interference in the personal lives of citizens, like banning abortion, or certain media that they find "immoral"

Wow, this is the calmest comment section I've ever come across under a video that talks about...politics

It's interesting to see how each ideology is practiced differently by the people of the modern world than what the actual ideology stands for.

I appreciate the objectivity and non biased values when explaining these topics. It really helps understand their general forms for what they are rather to how they function. A testament to how good this video is is how the comment section is very relaxed despite the topic in question being very pollarizing. Thanks a lot!

It's so rare to find a video like this that is completely un-biased and just gives you the facts. Subscribed 👍

I've always hated these labels being thrown around so casually and carelessly. You can share values from multiple political ideologies, and not agree with some others in the same ideology. Yet you get shunned because they see you as group A, when you can share values with group A, B, and C

Glad you distinguished the difference between corporatism and corporatocracy.

Kudos for shedding light on the nuances between capitalism, corporatism, and corporatocracy. It's rare to see someone tackle these distinctions. Your clarity is a breath of fresh air in the content space. Looking forward to more insightful breakdowns!

A video without an intro is just a breath of fresh air

Thank you for explaining the difference between libertarianism and liberalism. I see too many people today thinking they are one in the same.

Schrodingerism: a political stance which depends on whom an individual is trying to troll on the internet that day.

Imagine my surprise when I discover this channel, love two videos, say “wow, this channel is really good, im gonna watch their backlog” only to learn that there is five total videos on the entire channel and it (deservedly) got 90k subs in the past month or so

this is a great explanation of all the political ideologies, thank you for teaching me more about politics

For a video explaining politics, this was refreshingly apolitical and unbiased.

Very good video and also very unbiased explanations, You did not mix Fascism and Nazism and also didn’t mock conservatives or Support the feminist by saying their right which most people do.

Thank you! This helped with my understanding of politics for my AP Human Geography political unit!

Brilliantly done, I thought this would just be a meme video, but I was quickly pleasantly surprised when you defined conservatism and liberalism by their classical definitions. I was impressed even further when you didn't simply conflate authoritarianism, fascism, and National Socialism with each other. All while being completely neutral with each one! Well done!

Political ideologies are such a divisive topic, glad to see them explained in a simple and easy to understand way so that people can make up their own minds instead of just listening to whoever is close to them in their lives and parroting the information.

Nice and informative video. Keep making more videos like this.

This is the best channel ive ever found Thanks algorithm god

I really like that the narrator jumped straight into it, no intro, and defined everything concisely and quickly, a lot of these terms are used in an interchangeable manner. I subscribed, you’re currently at 39K but I know you’ll reach 40K soon!

It’s refreshing to hear political ideologies being explained without smug rhetoric and banter. I look forward to more content

It's amazing how when various ideologies are summarized briefly and with objectivity, you can see common ground with ideologies you may have found yourself opposed to, and maybe some room for criticism of those with which you already align. Great video

This channel never fails to teach me about things 100x better than school ever did

Unfortunately many people believe they are supporting a specific ideology, but the ideology is in name only. The liberal party of Canada, for example, is liberal in name, but in practice has been reducing privacy rights, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, worker rights, and human rights in an authoritarian manner.

I expected 8 minutes of pure banter and trolling, but received 8 mins of actually educational political education. My disappointment is immeasureable and my day is ruined

Bro I have to say I loved this video it made me understand what the ideologies says and made me understand many things thanks man

Finally someone using the correct definition for socialism and progressivism, many people in the US people think that socialism is just communism and that liberalism is just progressivism. Socialism is a democratized form of economy, capitalism is like economic feudalism, the economy doesn’t just affect the process of production and reproduction but cultural aspects of society by proxy, businesses still exist in socialism it’s just they are structured more fairly. Liberals are inherently capitalist, sometimes opting for democratic socialism which is capitalism with some socialist principles Progressives just value progress and are open to new ideas, rather then being stuck on the past/conservatism for the sake of tradition I’m a progressives socialist Edit: Feminism does hold the the idea that women are historically held back and is attempting to equalize not put on sex over another, there doesn’t exist an unbiased view, even if your view is based on research how you interpret and feel about said research is subjective, so while feminism is largely a feminine perspective that doesn’t mean it’s out to get men, individuals may be but the idea is equal opportunity and rights under government, this does not mean we are pushing to be treated the exact same, it’s just not the laws or societies place to determine who can succeed based on gender norms, I prefer liberation and equity over equality, put I do value these principles along with humanitarianism, and while the environment is important I don’t care as much about it as I probably should, lol

This video was incredibly informative for being only 8 minutes. I'd like to see some of those ideology explained more in depth

Something I love about this video is that he made almost all of them sound good. From watching that video, I couldn't say where this guy stands politically. Only a few things to say where he doesn't. It's refreshing to have a video about politics that's purely objective and doesn't bring any of the personal beliefs of the creator into it

For anyone confused what private property means in socialism/communism: private property is specifically property used for production (like factories) while personal property is things you personally own (like your house).

I learned more from this video about political ideologies without you trying to prove a point than my teachers back in the days. 10/10 video Will definitely rewatch this one over & over again to better understand the subtle differences.

Mine is autism

your coverage of anarchism was very well put together, which is rare in a lot of videos on the topic. well done

great job! summed up complex topics in a quick, digestable format, with relatively little bias. your attention to differentiating the concepts between certain groups (communism/socialism, fascism/nazism for example) was helpful and more informative than a lot of media i find myself seeing. i did find the feminism topic to be maybe a little oversimplified, in fact, a deeper dive into feminism as a whole would be great to see. there's a clear difference to the feminism movement 50+ years ago and generally speaking, how it's aged each decade.

Great summary. I don't know if all Moderates are within the Overton Window, but I'm glad U brought it up.

This is a little bit insignificant but the fact you actually explain fascism properly or at least a lot better than other people is huge props to you. Most people will just use it interchangeably with Nazism, or just twist the reality of it which takes away from the actual things that make it a horrible ideology.

Thank you for not injecting too much dogmatic undertone into what should be as transparently educational and unbiased as possible. I’m thanking you because so so many other channels will often use what seems to be straightforward education and inject undertones that automatically cast aspersions onto on side and use flowery and appealing language for the side they hope to make seem good. But that poisons the well unless it’s stated that the video will contain political opinion and bias

I've never commented on RU-vid but I've never seen such simple, direct, educational, not boring, and straight video. Just amazing I'll look forward to get more of your videos keep it up.

As i came across, I was genuinely pleased by the tone and the synthesis of the video. Coming from France, politics is number one topic everywhere, but it seems we lost the idea where debating for a better system turned to an endless fight between parties instead of realising most of us have the same goals. It is a well done video with usefull hindsight. Eager to see more of your content.

That was a surprisingly accurate description of anarchism. It sounds like it was taken right from Kropotkin, and that's a level of understanding that I genuinely didn't expect.

Exactly what I needed, I'm using this to catalogue a fictional nation I'm making. Thank you!

There are definitely some things here I didn't know so I appreciate that.

Transhumanism in a nutshell: "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel" Edit: thanks to contributions in the comments, we can also include Witchers and X-Men in nutshell transhumanism. Praise the Omnisiah for the sharing of information on the internet

I liked it. The presentation seemed neutral and focused on describing the ideologies, including their perspectives. I learned more about some ideologies I knew some things about, and even some that I didn't know anything about, like Corporatism, Communitarianism and Moderatism. Thank you for making a video that is both informative and descriptive.

Thank you for this. I wish this had been around back in the day when I was a young sprout, studying civics in the 9th grade. Civics was a required course then, I don’t know if it is now.

I'm glad you distinguished liberalism and progressivism because it seems nowadays, those two terms are used interchangeably, and a lot of people who call themselves conservative today actually align with a lot of traditionally liberal values.

One small thing I noticed that stuck out to me: Under the communism section, you put a house to represent private property. That would not be private property unless you are using it to make money. Private property is stuff like the factories, machines, and anything else used to produce wealth. A house, your toothbrush, etc. would be personal property, and it would be yours and you would keep it. I hope I explained it well. I’m really tired rn

Ya know, I usually associate these little political blob dudes with online brain rot, but this was legitimately informative. Thank you! I’m looking forward to part 2!!

Parts of this need updating. You did a great job of explaining how all of these ideals originally started and what their doctrine was in the beginning, but some of those ideals have been hijacked in recent years and are no longer what they claim to be.

Very informative video thank you🙏💯

The fact you used polandball art and makes it easy to digest, makes it worth viewing

5:38 from the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me.

what a nice video! i bet the comment section will be civil and nice to each other!

This comment section is either gonna be really chill or really chaotic

I feel like some of these are less political ideologies and more economic ideologies or philosophical ideologies (transhumanism for example) which might be confusing for some people. Other than that this was a surprisingly good video covering the very basic overview of these without going into overwhelming depth.

I like how this shows how there's significant overlap in many of these ideologies, so you can see how anyone can define their beliefs to include multiple of these. I also appreciate how you showed that progressivism and liberalism are not the same thing! People tend to refer to progressives as liberals, which implies that people who don't hold progressive viewpoints don't support classical liberalism. Edit: to everyone responding complaining about the difference between modern liberalism and classical liberalism, yes. I understand there is a difference, and I'm not advocating to stop calling modern liberals "liberals" even though most of their ideals have little overlap with classical liberalism. I'm just pointing out a lesser known fact. I myself am more of a libertarian in terms of political views, with conservative morals.

Excellent Match, true gentleman of a coach

Thanks for sharing Brian, I never would be good enough and probably commit enough time to be in a band but it's always awesome to hear someone's perspective! And yes wedding bands are where it's at according to James Valentine haha

Very quick and clear with good visual aids. Learning is never more enjoyable. I am absolutely subscribing

I think it's also worth explaining the difference between private and personal property. When discussing politics, private property means that which is owned by companies, while personal property is that which an individual owns. A restaurant is private property, your microwave is personal property.

This is wonderful, thank you.

First of all, thank you for this great video! Looking at all these ideologies, what I find funny, scary and sad, is that each of them has at least 1 good element within them. The sad part is we will never be truly united as a species, unless an ideology appears that encapsulates all the good elements of each of the above, which is practically impossible.

This will be a giant channel in a few months. Keep making content like this. Seems like you’ve done it before. Very natural

One thing y'all should keep in mind is that few of these are actually mutually exclusive. Many of these "teams" could work together, in theory. Some do in the real world. Others are complete contradictory but become allies anyway. TL;DR it's rarely ever just the one thing. Great video man.

What a cute and unbiased video this is! Straight to the point, too. Thank you✌️.

Great video. Main problem was some ideologies were described as their extremes, and others as their moderate versions. Everything is on a spectrum. 👍🙌

I didn't even realise that a good amount of those existed, so thanks for actually telling me in a way I can understand. I would be interested in a video that goes in depth on other political ideologies, although even just this video is a great way to understand the surface level of political ideologies.

As a person who didn't understand about politics, this video has helped me understand what politics are about and there were more politics out there than i could ever have imagined

Personally I would go over both pros and cons of each of them as well since there are definitely positive and negative aspects of all of these

If this video didn't exist, I would have never gone out of my away to better understand the spectrum of different political ideologies because I'm pretty much apolitical (although one of my friends who's very into politics has guessed I'd be an anarchist). So thank you for providing me with this information in a small amount of time.

I really liked your short minimalistic, to-the-point, uncomplicated explaining of each ideology. I understood everything here. While big, long-winded, complicated videos trying to explain the same things, just tend to confuse me even more. You've just got both a like and subscribe from me...

Saving this so I can brush up on it every so often. Always wanted to know what some of these actually meant without any bias.

This was a good idea although some of these are merely political priorities rather than political systems. You might also consider a video describing how these can be blended or corrupted.

There is one essential part of Fascism that you left out: Fascism heavily advocates for a national rebirth. This is one of the defining reasons why Nazi's were seen as Fascist rather than being strictly authoritarian. The Nazi's believed in a national rebirth which in their case, was the Third Reich.

Really Refreshing Content

tbh if we put every political idealogy into real-time manifestation "Fascist" idealogy or simililar idealogy tend to survive longer than the rest when in a dire situation

A breath of fresh air to find an educational youtube channel that gets straight to the point and explains everything on a level understandable to most(I would assume ;) ) subbed! excited to learn more!

Im all for transhumanism. Lets reach singularity and transcend to immortality

Could you make a longer video diving deeper into each of them

This was fantastic! I'm loving the trend of low production quality but high information density educational content. Subscribed!

Incredibly informative video! Your concise breakdown is both eye-opening and educational

Thank you! My friends didn't understand very many politics, so I showed them this video to clear up confusion. Thanks!

The last one seems cool! Haha got u ;)

I love this channel

Good video there ! If I can add something : Populism is sometimes not seen as an ideaology but more as a polotical strategy to access to power !

I needed this. Made up my own country. But couldn't decide what ideology to pick.

Fantabulous work sir, need a PDF or some form of a download or notes or cards or a one pager❤

you're a great painter you should try to apply in art school

This is amazing! You should make a part 2, there are so many more ideologies to cover

Love the channel. Keep this theme of short, concise videos that educate on things about the world. Can’t wait for future videos!

I love how they all sound good.

I deeply implore no one take these definitions at face value, all of these ideologies are very nuanced. That being said if you were trying to explain the difference between these things to like a kid I think this video does a great job

I like how you separate the words with different definitions, but a lot of these words intersect and I think people aren’t seeing that

I’m curious, how did you decide what ideologies to include and what ideologies to leave out? Also, great video! I subscribed and am looking forward to your upcoming content.

Straight and to the point no bull shit highly entertaining You my friend got your self a new subscriber looking forward for more.

My OC is the governor of a historically conservative state. They essentially believed in elections and secular government (liberalism), but they got elected by putting up an anti-establishment facade(populism). Their agenda is mostly about LGBTQ+ rights (progressivism, nontraditional values), gender equality (feminism), and healthcare (liberalism+1). In order to win over the conservative religious state senate, they resorted to blackmailing/persecuting opponents (authoritarianism). They also supported many worker unions and organizations (syndicalism) to reinforce their power. Finally, when people are distracted by those other issues, they quickly signed executive orders for climate protection (environmentalism). So, at the end of the day, that person is a heck of a mesh up of whatever ideologies there are.
