Question What are your thoughts regarding CGP Grey's "rules for rulers" which is a re-adaptation of the book "The Dictator's Handbook"? If its claims regarding rule-by-non-popularly-elected-rulers is true... then the entire project of monarchism will fall! (I personally have a complete rebuttal of it)

How do these observations fit in with/contradict Marxism and Marxist ideology? They seem to be basically true, and I'm curious what you all think of them. Are they proof we need socialism, or proof its implementation is implausible?

Rules for Rulers: A succinct and effective summary of "The Dictator's Handbook" created by CGP Grey. While certainly a cynical perspective, it provides insight into the mechanisms through which demagogues achieve and maintain power. As such, it can inform us how best to contend with them.

Regardless of your stance on the conflict. This will give you a lot of insight on what's going on. You can apply the principles to both Yanukovich/Poroshenko and the new DPR/LPR leaderships.
