This is a 1946 educational video made by Encyclopedia Brittanica, teaching us what Despotism is. In a mere 10 minutes, this video will open your eyes if they've been shut. It explains how societies and nations can be measured by the degree that power is concentrated and respect for the individual is restricted. It's stunning how well it portrays the current world, in it's simple and somewhat corny style. If anybody is in doubt about where we are heading, or even where we have come since WW2, this is the video they should be seeing.
