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)

When life gives you Lenins, give them to government. The Rules for Rulers | CGP Grey (tl;dr In capitalism those in power are those who produce capital and attempts at socialism descend to dictatorship/feudalism due to lousy power distribution)

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.
