Privatizing the US national helium reserve. Gonna laugh when in a few years the government of another nation ends up owning it. Helium is dwindling finite resource that key technological infrastructure relies upon.

Despotism is not a useful political term at all and feudalism is a very specific form of a much broader economic system that was used in the middle ages. You have nonides what you're talking about.

According to my knowledge it is just as useful a term as feudalism, describing a specific system.

You have nonides what you’re talking about.

Buddy, you are a communist , a flatearther from economics, an etherium proponent from economics, a homeopathic doctor from economics.

And what you wrote is illiterate bullshit. Listen for once what people who are not from your sect say on things.

Despotism refers to a person in power making unilateral decisions, it is no means of describing any system of government.

Define communism, I'll let you once again look it up.

Yeah, that too, so?

it is no means of describing any system of government.

Why is that?

Define communism, I’ll let you once again look it up.

Why would I? That wouldn't change that I'm right. You seem to think that I have to prove something or dispute something with you to be right. I don't.

Also a hint - anybody can come up with any kind of definition. If I look it up, then what? Somebody you consider authoritative has approved a definition? Well, it's one model you like, I may not, so why would I bother?
